…Not Exactly A Hallmark Card

There is one thing worse than a walk of shame- that lasts longer, is more visible, and almost impossible to deny…
a hickey.
The only more visible manifestation of sex I can think of is a pregnant woman, which is on a whole ‘nother level. A bruised neck just reeks of immaturity and irresponsibility- a souvenir […]

Super Cute Super Bowl Champ

You know what I’m tired of hearing? Eli Manning being knocked for not being the best looking quarterback.. Sure he’s up for comparison against Tom Brady, who practically has a male modeling campaign and fragrance lined up for the off-season, but he’s not a bad looking guy.
I actually like the fact that he […]

The Magic of Snow and Love

There’s something magical about snow. I don’t even like it much, but the whole idea of every flake being different and every kid staring wide eyed out the window at their “first snow” gives it an element that is not of this world, one that even tramping through ugly Manhattan sludge can’t tarnish.
Love is […]

Eat, Blog, Love

One of my girlfriends said something to me yesterday that really struck a chord. As I was retelling the story of going out with Manning and maligning my urge to make any sort of contact, be it smoke signals or text messages, she stopped me and said “Stop analyzing and just tell me what […]

Gone Too Young, Forgotten Too Soon

Today we lost a talented and beautiful man, and I’m holding tight to my copy of Ten Things I Hate About You. You can find a touching personal tribute from Chelsea Talks Smack here.
Every bit of publicity and attention to his death is valid and well deserved, and I wouldn’t dream of taking it […]

That Beyonce Was On to Something

I love the sound of my name rolling off of your lips.
For one thing, my expectations have fallen to the point where I’m just impressed that you remember it. Points for paying attention. And, because it’s an unusual name, I know that it wasn’t just a lucky guess.
Somehow, coming from you, it doesn’t […]

Forget Red & Blue, Do I Live in a Date State?

As much as I love dating advice that I get from friends around the country, I really believe that regional norms have a large influence. What personality traits come to mind when I mention Southern California (laid back? superficial?), Texas (hospitality? family values?), or New York City (rude? fast-paced?)?
The factors that influence where a […]

The Issues That (Don’t) Really Matter

Inspired by the hilarious running debate over at SLC Outsider, I’ve been digging into the dirty details of the presidential candidates- specifically, the attractiveness of their children. Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with which way I plan on voting, but it’s sure been a fun way to waste an afternoon.
As much […]

My Life, Upgraded

While some fish in our blogging sea have been dreading the idea of art imitating life, I’m being tormented by the Hollywood version of mine.
Any of my friends who met Boy Toy said that he reminded them of Justin Long (AKA the Mac Guy).

And I have been previously cast in the movie version of […]

I Bet My Friends Never Knew That’s What They Were For

I have no problem admitting to my faults, but the one thing I am good at is trying to compensate for them. I may not be able to fix every character flaw, but I do my absolute best at damage control.
For example, I am known for oversleeping so on important morning I set three […]
