It’s a brand-new year, which means two things: 1. I’m still writing “2025” on every form, and2. I’m staring at my bank statements like a detective in a true-crime documentary, trying to figure out who subscribed me to all these services. Spoiler alert: it was me. Past Me. […]
Apparently, The Devil Wears Prada sequel is slated for 2026, and I, for one, am delighted, not because I need another movie (I really don’t), but because it officially resurrects one of the most perfectly dismissive lines in cinematic history. “Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.” I have been chuckling […]
I don’t know who decided that Brussels sprouts would be the official vegetable of 2025, but I would like to have a word. Preferably far away from any roasting pan. Every restaurant menu I glanced at toward the end of the year whether it was holiday prix-fixe, catered […]
As 2025 closes its doors, I’m doing a very un-2025 thing. I’m packing up, taking stock, and actually leaving stuff behind. And, I don’t mean my Netflix queue or my collection of weird mugs. I mean the heavy, exhausting, soul-sucking stuff that weighs more than a Manhattan subway […]
The end of the year is here, and I’m not entirely sure how I’m supposed to feel about it. Apparently, the correct response is enthusiasm. The NYC ball drops, we cheer like we personally accomplished something, blow whistles, kiss strangers, and scream numbers as if time itself is […]
There are roughly two weeks left in the year, and somehow it feels like both a sprint and a marathon.Or maybe it’s neither. Maybe it’s one of those airport moving walkways where you’re technically in motion but also weirdly standing still, staring at the floor, wondering how you […]
There are exactly 76 days left in the year. Seventy-six! That’s just enough time to panic, make a resolution to not panic, and then decide to do something new instead. I’ve been thinking. What if, rather than waiting for January 1st to reboot our lives, we start the […]
What’s your favorite month of the year? Why? January used to be one of my favored months. It held the promise of new beginnings, fresh starts, and the excitement of a year brimming with possibility. There was something about the crisp, cold air and the blank slate of […]
Well, that day has finally come. The last day of 2023. Here we are, standing at the crossroads bidding farewell to 2023. In some ways, it feels like I’ve been waiting for this day with bated breath, exhaling after a tumultuous ride. To say it’s been a challenging […]
How do you celebrate holidays? It has started. It has begun. One celebratory occasion after another. Usually, that is how I think of the last four months of the year. Just four more months. There’s Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, and New year’s eve. There’s Halloween. Yah! Mischief. Mayhem. Monsters. […]
