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 […]
