Winter is finally here. I've been wearing 'winter is coming' socks since Christmas. If you don't watch Game of Thrones, a lot of what I'm about to say probably won't make sense and I don't feel bad about it because you've literally had almost two years to catch up. I love how people were trying... Continue Reading →
Soaring
It's important to know that life isn't always on your side. There's some definite roughage. We've all been there. It's just how it all works - ebbs and flows. I'm not a genius or anything by any scholastic standard but I think if we had each other's backs more often, it might - hell, I... Continue Reading →
Never Enough
This week has been interesting to say the least. I've been a real Inspector Gadget over here. I don't always lose my phone, but when I do it's on silent. Ugh. Idiot Sandwich. What else? Hmmmm, I spent an obscene amount of time looking for that f*$#ing AppleTV remote - like honest to God, I'm... Continue Reading →
Stuck in this Place
I can only hope that one day when I win an Oscar, whatever comes out of my mouth is poignant, bleep-less and spoken without a piece of paper that looks like a CVS receipt. God, who doesn't want a little more Olivia Coleman in their life? The first hostless Oscars in 30 years - which... Continue Reading →
525,600 minutes
I'm a daydreamer and a night thinker. I always have been. I sleep with one eye open, which might be because I have FOMO or maybe because I have PTSD from when my apartment was broken into while I was sleeping but most definitely because my OFF switch has been disabled. I may look dormant,... Continue Reading →
What Doesn’t Kill You
Ladies and Gentlemen, stop what you’re doing. The World Cup kicked off this morning and everything is right in the world again (this is me completely ignoring the fact that the U.S. didn’t qualify because we have a team of bagoons. Viva Mexico). But seriously, I have had an epiphany. We have got to find... Continue Reading →
Microscopic
Each of us is bestowed with a gift. We all have areas in our lives we excel in more than others. If I had a superpower it would be observation. As far as X-Men go, consider myself and Marvel gravely disappointed. I notice things - whoopity doo, right? Not exactly a box office hit. It... Continue Reading →
greatness
I hope everyone survived Valentine’s Day. It’s actually a scarier holiday than Halloween. No clue how a massacre turned into roses and two-tops but here we are. Let’s ALL go out to dinner and let’s ALL order flowers ALL at the same time. I stopped at the grocery store on my way home from work... Continue Reading →
Powerade
Call me ambitious, call me competitive. Some of my favorite moments in life revolve around sports. There's nothing quite like the glory that comes with a Grand Slam or a photo finish. I can still remember standing in a bar in Chicago watching Michael Phelps win the 100 m butterfly in Beijing by one one-hundredth... Continue Reading →
Olympic-itis
I am currently 6 days deep into complete and total Olympic submersion. I've ignored phone calls, have barely seen the light of day, and have had my TV on 24/7 without logging into Hulu once. I have sat through two meetings while secretly watching events and have hidden in a stairwell during work numerous times... Continue Reading →
