The Tracks of My Tears
I’ve never understood how women in the movies look so good when they cry. Sure, their eyes exude sadness, and tears may flow, but they somehow still manage to look pretty, composed, and even delicate. Not me. When I cry, it’s a full-fledged disaster. My face gets splotchy and squinched up, my eyes turn beet

Even More Decadence
But this time, not food-related (shocking!). For the first time in years, I got desperate and sent out a load of laundry instead of doing it myself. Okay, I realize this is not in the least bit luxurious for the majority of people I know, but for me, it is. They fold everything up so

Shoot Me Now, Take Two
First there was the Google thing. Now, turns out I was yesterday’s Gawker Personal ad of the day. Since when did I become the poster child for single women in New York?!? Ack! UPDATE (4/26): So today, I’m the Salon personals "Catch of the Day." Who knows where I’ll end up next. . .

Decadence and Gluttony
Yep. That about sums up the weekend. It began slowly. I stopped at Whole Foods on the way home from work on Friday night and whipped up a Thai red curry with shrimp and veggies. Then, things ramped up a bit. The next morning, as I was washing dishes, my phone rang — Augie, on

Boy calls/emails girl the following day and says something like, "I

Me vs. Them? I Hope Not.
Having gone through the most recent batch of weddings, I have spent some time thinking about coupledom vs. singledom. Particularly at the last wedding I attended, I encountered a pack of law school classmates, each accompanied by a spouse, telling me stories of kids, suburbs, etc., even one with a (very cute) baby in tow.

Comfort
I was talking to a friend yesterday about comfort. She and I are both going through a job search right now, and the emotional drain that goes along with that is major. Add to that the grey, dreary weather this past weekend, and you end up seeking comfort. Thankfully, comfort can be found in so

Looks Like Spring!
At least that’s what Spring looks like in Herald Square! I love daffodils (see comfort above), so if anyone wants to buy me some, feel free. (How’s that for subtlety?) No really, they’re cheap!

Why I Love Having a Blog
One of the many reasons I love having a blog is when, out of the blue, I get an email from a law school classmate asking why I didn’t have an April Fools’ Day post. I didn’t even know he read it! A big shout out to Jono — so nice to hear from you.
