I’m just your typical female oxymoron — and, no, that’s not a play on my intelligence. I’m a girlie tomboy, a misanthropic humanitarian, an introverted extrovert, a realistic liberal, and a cynical romantic.

You’re all going to die. Oh, yeah — me too.

I had a frightening, yet inevitable realization the other day and it all came to me in a rather seemingly insignificant way. While watching an old episode of the the live-action version of The Tick (conveniently streamed online, might I add), one of the idolized superheros played by special guest star Sam McMurray has a […]

My two bits on Brit.

As a pop culture obsessed, going-on-30, legend-in-her-own-mind satirist, I can’t help but share my two-cents on the multitude of celebutantes’ recent falls from grace. Not having my former very public forum to voice my opinions is at once a blessing and curse — a blessing in the sense that I’m not adding to the media […]

The future’s so bright, I gotta wear Night Vision goggles.

I think the overall consensus agrees – 2007 sucked. But doesn’t that seem to be the consensus every year? You never hear someone declare, “Man, last year rocked! I bet there’s no way in hell that 2008 will even come close.” No, most people choose to lace their usual negative expectations with a tinge of […]

I’m the coolest one here, and they don’t even know it.

Jumpin’ Jesus on a pogo stick, where has the time gone? I guess it’s hard to keep track of time when you’re in the process of changing a career during your third quarterlife crisis. Who am I kidding? With the way I live, it’s more like my third midlife crisis. At least I’ll make a […]

Crazy Happy Costume Round-up!

Well, hello strangers! I apologize for my lack of posts in the last few weeks , but I’ve been tying up as many loose ends here in Philly as possible. I’m getting ready to start a brand spanking new job as an in-house Design Assistant! Yes, dreams do come true…when you keep your standards low. […]

It’s called a “job” for a reason.

*Warning: This one’s a little dirty, so if you get offended easily, move it along.*
While lounging in a sparsely furnished living room in West Philly, my roommate Brooke and I found ourselves mesmerized by – wait for it – a “Girls Next Door” Marathon on the E! Channel. For those of you unfamiliar with this […]

Just call me “Stable Mabel”

It appears that new happenings are finally afoot in my briefly stagnant life – well, at least one thing. After sleeping on a fold out couch in my father’s office for the last few months, I finally have a place to call my own…along with two other roommates. I now reside in nice large house […]

One of us. One of US!!!

Now that I’m finally living on my own again, it’s safe to say that I am fully immersed in the Bohemian lifestyle, which is a romantic way of saying “broke”. Once you’ve made the decision to return to this way of living, you do come up with some creative ways to entertain yourself in […]

MIA for now…

First of all, mucho apologies to those of you who cyber-ventured to my blog last week and were disappointed to find a big fat nada in place of my weekly blog. But I can explain, honest!
I’m not only in the process of moving into a new house in West Philly, but I’m also nearing the […]

Parentally Challenged

Last weekend, I experienced one of the milestones of a relationship.
As I have shared before, my boyfriend D* took a job shortly, actually the exact day of, our first date. It wouldn’t have been such a big deal if we didn’t hit it off so goddamned perfectly and became practically inseperable for the next two […]
