When a blogger doesn’t post for a while, I get all belligerent and angry, like she’s an ex who owes me something from his apartment. And when she comes back, I expect her to post a long and detailed entry, and quite possibly include a shout out to my cats and a coupon for a [...]

I’ve had a hard time writing this post over the past day. Mostly because I was hungover and stuck on and off a plane at JFK for five hours, not to mention my INTERNETS AND CABLE being down, but also because I couldn’t decide which slant to take with the content: A number 1) the [...]

Kim texted someone.
Mrs. Jorge had to resort to an Avril Lavigne reference when I asked her if [...]

Hours spent cleaning up Cricket’s hair balls and hiding human heads in places other than freezer: 5.
Dollars spent in eight minutes during the first Giant trip in two months, picking up staples other than wine, tampons, and Lean Cuisines: 76.
Acquiring a pink apron-ed, French toast-making Canadian kitchen minion for a full 48 hours: Priceless.

Sometimes a man’s perspective is so refreshing. This has shown itself to be particularly true in the age of my recent relationship woes, when men have offered me some of the most sage words of wisdom sans analysis, Baked Doritos, and estrogen.
This first gem comes from Quinn*, a man who has known Kris since [...]
Day 1: How to entertain a fellow blogger

I’m learning quickly. I think it helps if you ensure that she has something to eat before you pick her up from the airport, considering that she had already had three glasses of God’s nectar prior to getting into my Sentra (for which I bought new hubcaps yesterday, simply because the thought of any [...]
