Day One. Or: How Barbra Streisand Got Me Through My First Day of Unemployment.

When New Year’s came around and you asked me about resolutions, I told you I had none. That was a lie. I had one, known only to myself, whispered when the clock struck midnight: I’m going to leave my job by the end of 2010.
I did not expect it to happen in the middle of [...]

Love. Capital Letters. And Flibbertygibbets.

Now that three months have passed since THIS happened, people have been more comfortable asking me how I feel about dating, love, and the like. Here’s the thing. This? This time right now? This is my favorite part.  After a handful of broken hearts and a fistful of failed relationships, I’ve come to know that [...]

Another Showtune Moment…

I’d been thinking about The Sound of Music.
The other day, I was singing “Sixteen Going on Seventeen,” song to Damon, because he’s five years older than I am, so I think I was singing, sarcastically, “I need someone, older and wiser, telling me what to doooooooo…”
And he was like, what the fuck, what is that from, and I’m all, SOUND [...]

They say I have the best ass below fourteenth street…

Updating my resume (for real, this time) while listening to RENT: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (breaking out into gut-busting song every thirty seconds)….
Funny, because the arrangements are newer, and in my opinion, better than the original broadway recording – but still scream: “Look! I’m a musical score that’s dressed up like a pop album!” This somehow makes [...]
