November 19, 2014 was the last time I posted in this blog – over three years ago. A lot has happened since then, and I’d like to say as I’m sitting down to write this next entry that maybe I’ve changed too. After all, shouldn’t we all be progressing?? But I just reread that entry…
We need to talk about Mulan
I think it’s finally time we all sat down and discussed the movie Mulan. Not discuss-discuss Mulan. For that you need to read my WIP book: “Mulan: Why it’s the greatest Disney movie ever,” subtitle “Creating subtext where there is none.” Coming Fall 2017. I’m actually not really a Disney enthusiast. I don’t have much…
Guess what I have a baby now
Hello. I have things to say. Stories to tell. I haven’t written a blog since June of last year, but now I have things to say probably. As a blogger it’s important to take unannounced hiatuses every once in a while, to keep people guessing. This blog entry is a little disjointed because my head…
Call me, I plan kidnap-free parties.
Because my body is mostly made up of Diet Coke and anxiety, one way that I have learned to cope with things is by making plans for everything. Not just primary plans, but also secondary plans in case those primary plans don’t work out, and tertiary plans in case something in the secondary plan falls…
I rank today 8 out of 10 stars
I am exceptionally proud of myself today. Let me tell you why. I’m sure you want to know. 1. I woke up this morning. Without an alarm clock. And I put on real clothes for work. 2. I ran errands. I went to the freaking bank. I went to TWO banks. I’m not joking, I really did….
Ian: A language marvel
Listen, I love Ian, but if we’re being honest, he talks kind of weird, but in a hilarious way. I would describe his speech as a hodgepodge of random consonant clusters, redundant vowels, rhyming and obscure pop-culture references. It rubs off on me, too. Which is fine. Whatever. When I’m talking to him, I don’t notice. Sometimes…
Just some carrot sticks, no big deal.
You know the phrase, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”? I have been attempting my 182nd diet–you know, to lose weight, be healthy, extend my life span–and I’m trying to find a good mantra. But I don’t think that’s the one. I remember being skinny. I know what it’s like. And while I guess…
Dream Teams: Amy and Will
Here’s the thing, I’m reporting to you today from inside a cloud of sickness, so…here I am. Ta da! Anyway that’s my disclaimer. What I want to tell is partially about me and partially about two of my favorite people in famous-people-world: Amy and Will. More about them in a minute. You should know something….
Some things about the internet
I have some things to say about the internet. Now, first of all, I am not computer illiterate in any way. I know my way around. I spend a lot of time on my computer/internet. A LOT. When Ian and I were on vacation in San Fran, the motel said that they had internet, but…
My cat is orange
I know I haven’t written in a while. And while I am not under the impression that everyone reading this has been despairing over my lack of entries, I am going to talk about why. And this is not going to be a funny entry. My cat who is orange, whose name is Shwaybi, passed…
