  • The Ex Files. UPDATE.

    Congratulations, Nathan! As you may have read in an earlier post, my ex-boyfriend was a finalist in the Lego Master Builder competition. To those of us who know him, it comes as no surprise that Nathan has been selected to be a master builder at Legoland. I had no doubts that he would win. Read

  • He Pays, She Pays

    Almost everyone I know has (or at least had, when he or she was single and dating) a very complex set of rules and regulations when it comes to how money is handled on a date. Rules about who pays and why; if money should be offered and what that means; if that money is

    A certain ex of mine has been getting tons of press lately. He is one of a small group of national finalists in a competition to become one of Lego’s master builders — basically, someone who gets paid to build things with Lego all day. This has been one of his lifelong dreams — when

  • Dork Protocol

    I have a friend who only recently got email. He doesn’t own a computer, but checks his email at his gym, where they have terminals for free internet access. He sent me an email last night that was ALL IN CAPITAL LETTERS. I called him to tell him that, according to email protocol, this was

  • I’m Down with O.P.B.*

    * Other People’s Blogs There’s something inherently voyeuristic about weblogs. They offer the general public a chance to peer inside other peoples’ thoughts, feelings and lives. For example, a co-worker was telling me that she started reading Megnut, because the author was a classmate of hers from Tufts (go Jumbos!). Around the same time, she

  • We’ll Be Right Back After These Messages

    Happy New Year, everyone! I ended 2003 and started 2004 with a bang, and got all dolled up for the big night in a 50’s retro pink satin dress with black polka dots and a crinoline. Why the hell not, right? I think it’s the first pink item of clothing I have owned since I

  • She’s Crafty*

    Well, I survived my birthday — what better way to celebrate than with a week off work!? This week will be spent seeing movies, socializing, and trying to get to some of those little projects that have fallen by the wayside during the past year. One such project is my knitting.

  • Me! Me! Me!

    Today, it’s all about me. It’s my 33rd birthday. A birthday is the one day a year that I think everyone should get pampered, spoiled, and given special treatment. Especially me. 🙂 Having a birthday the day after Christmas very often results in having a celebration or a present sort of squished in among Christmas/Chanukah
