Body and Soul. I want to break free.

September 17, 2011 random

My favorite album of all time is A Night at the Opera by Queen. On some days I would simply listen to the whole album over and over again when I am driving. Volume turned way high. Windows down. (And yes, it helps me imagine myself as a badass. Why?) On some nights, I prowl through [...]

A Reason as Good as Any

August 1, 2011 no manual for parenting

Conversations that happened yesterday… (Proving that thank goodness I work fulltime so I don’t spend too much time talking to my kids…) [On the way to lunch] 13-year-old: My friend is jealous. He thinks we have the coolest license plate ever! [Be rest assured: It is dorky.] 8-year-old: Oh, mom, we should keep this [...]

Porn for Women

July 31, 2011 random

You can say that I have given up on attracting more male readers… Since I am of the Drastic Measure type of bitches: It is All or Nothing to me, I have decided to actively repel men*, esp. the straight kind. Let’s go all the way, baby! This is a real book. The Cambridge [...]

Just sit down and relax, honey.

July 30, 2011 random

I heard this study that was published this May on the radio today. The headline is: Men relax best when wives are doing housework chores! My first question was: How is it possible that I did not hear about this until now?! Is the Universe conspiring to keep this earth-shattering news from me? You [...]

Why not?

July 1, 2011 random

I sometimes wonder why I have not become an alcoholic. I like myself better when I am just a little bit drunk. Like now. The state of knowing that you are drunk, knowing that perhaps you should not have leaned out the car window and shouted at the guy across the street but you could [...]

At 11:50pm, both boys were still awake. Hey, no judging! Summer vacation… Mr Monk, my 8 year old: *sigh* In 10 minutes, I cannot be mean to dad any more. Me: Oh, you are right. It will be Father’s Day. Him: (Shrugs) Well, enjoy it while it lasts! Me: (Thinking to [...]

June 14, 2011 random

I got something from The Husband last night. Something I believe that will allow him to forget my birthday this year. Honey, you are already forgiven! THE best baby book ever. Really. If you know someone who just had a baby, or who is going to have a baby, RUN, don’t walk, and order [...]

Fuck Yeah Neil Patrick Harris

June 13, 2011 random

Tony Awards. As a quote unquote Theatre Person (Notice how I spell Theatre the “wrong” way? Yeah, that’s the sign I AM a theatre person) who nevertheless has been living so far away from the epicenter of theatrical creativity aka NYC, I always find Tony Awards a bitter sweet event. Wishing does not bring about peace. Let [...]

Spitting Blood

June 9, 2011 random

I am sitting here trying to catch up on the million things people just piled on my desk with a pool of blood in my mouth. I don’t know why but I keep on thinking of Brat Pitt from Fight Club. I don’t remember whether he lost any tooth inside the Fight Club or not. [...]

National Jukebox

May 28, 2011 random

Did you hear about the National Jukebox project unveiled by the Library of Congress earlier this month? When I heard it on NPR, I was so excited I almost crashed my car into the truck with a Calvin peeing sticker in front of me. The National Jukebox is, according to NPR, “the largest collection of [...]
