Dumpsville
Maccers has written an excellent guide on how to survive a breakup. She provides concrete, practical advice, such as: Wallow, wallow, wallow. Bore your friends shitless with constant droning. Drink yourself into a coma and have a one night stand with the most hideous individual you can find. Call every single guy you’ve met in

The Power of Genetics
Both my sister and my brother forwarded me an action alert from Democrats.org this morning. I thought that was fabulous — the political activist twins to the rescue!

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
Manhattan Users Guide interviewed a number of New York bloggers (some of whom are on my links list, on the left) to get lists of their top ten favorite things about New York. I agree with many of their picks. The Morning News ranks pizza as one of their favorites — it’s hard to explain

Once Again, Ahead of the Curve
Time Out New York reports that online dating is dead. As I mentioned recently, I have essentially given up on online dating. Well actually, to come completely clean, since that post, I had a one month stint on JDate, which essentially confirmed my conclusion that it is nearly impossible to find that “spark” via online
