Each year there are a handful of things I mean to do or events I mean to attend—and each one of these things falls aside because I have a dwarf-sized memory. Actually, my memory is pretty good right now and I hope that doesn’t change. In fact, during high school I was able to memorize… [Read more…]

I colored my hair the other day. Really. It’s a stylish and attractive red that is at once dashing and ‘interesting’. I was trying for blond, but the makeup of my hair and the worry that accompanied putting chemicals on my head probably conspired to limit the colorant’s effectiveness. Needless to say, now I am… [Read more…]

Thinking on a high-brow, hoity-toity level isn’t something I’m prone to do. I like having a discussion, but contentious debate isn’t one of my favorite things.

This weekend I cried at a high school graduation in Syracuse, NY. The event was similar to an endless parade of other graduations I’ve attended…people talking too long about stuff only they care about and holding a stadium full of parents and co-opted others hostage. The highlights at this event were Morris Michael’s graduation, his… [Read more…]

In a few minutes I’m headed out to breakfast with my parents. It’s my favorite meal of the day because of a few reasons. 1 – There’s so much DAY left after you’re done eating. Unlike dinner, you still have time after breakfast to accomplish tasks. 2 – I like eggs. A lot. I used… [Read more…]
