I love to travel, try new foods (both simple and "exotic"), ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. Im a big pop culture junkie who isnt afraid to say she loves "In Touch" Magazine! A social marketing expert and psychologist by training who works in the public health field trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
All the world is my television and I like to provide commentary on it.
Cheers
I did something wild recently. I treated myself (and dragged along the family) into a blazing pit of danger, peril, and foam blocks. Yes, I played The Floor is Lava. Now, let me confess something upfront: I have the coordination of a distracted toddler trying to walk on […]
There are days when your brain decides to clock out before your body does. Today was one of those days. I was exhausted. So bone-tired that I couldn’t tell the difference between highbrow, lowbrow, and absolutely no-brow TV. Enter: Trainwreck: The Poop Cruise. Yes. That is what I […]
Well folks, it’s not even July and the heat has already come in like a sweaty wrecking ball. That’s right Miley! The kind of heat that seeps into your bones and short-circuits your brainwaves. You know it’s bad when the street pigeons are panting and the corner bodega […]
Which slice of me will you get today? Will you catch the breeze or the blaze?Will I simmer or will I scorch?Will I laugh mid-sentence or pause long enough to make you squirm?I don’t always know myself which version will slip out first. Maybe today, I’m a little […]
Let me just say this real quick before my eyelids fully give up on this day and slide down my face like melted mascara: I am tired. Capital T. Italics. Possibly in another font entirely. I woke up today with a long to-do list and the resolve of […]
Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? The other day, I did something wild. At least, wild by grown-up, semi-caffeinated, city-living standards. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs. Not bucatini with veal ragu. Not handmade tagliatelle with a saffron foam. Just good ol’ spaghetti. Red […]
There are days when life delivers its deep truths in sweeping metaphors, sunsets, and perfectly timed inspirational quotes. And then there are days like today when the deepest truths come straight from the Dog Couch. You know, that fur-covered, snack-stained kingdom ruled by my three wildly different but […]
James Gunn, director, mischief-maker, and one of the few people keeping the DC cinematic universe from fully imploding, recently said something that smacked me right in my over-caffeinated frontal lobe: “The movie industry is dying… because people are making movies without a finished screenplay.” Mic. Drop. Now, I […]
Today, I did the unthinkable. I mixed it up. I broke the rhythm, cracked the routine, gave the rulebook a slightly suspicious side-eye and yes, I ate a chicken salad sandwich before drinking my coffee. I know. Who am I? Let’s start with the chicken salad situation. I’ve […]
Listen, I’m sprawled in my bathtub, pruning like a philosophical raisin, and the world’s out there doing its best impression of a five-alarm dumpster fire. Bubbles are popping, my lavender bath bomb is fizzing out like my last shred of motivation, and my brain’s serving up a word […]
