I know few of you have actually met and spent time with my friend (and ex), Scott. So I apologize for your lack of context here. However, after a good chat with him today, I just want to say “out loud” that, in spite of whatever “draaaama” our lives may have brought one another over …
my weight-loss thought for the week…
Ten things I love most about having lost ~ 65 lbs.: 1) I have ten times the energy I had before. 2) I sleep ten times deeper than I used to. 3) I can walk/jog longer and farther than my basset hound, a breed known for its laziness and for standing less than two feet …
The Future of Flushing
The following is excerpted from Newsweek (Aug. 16, p. 10). I don’t know why, but I found this equal parts fascinating and funny. Americans are used to ordering things ranging from french fries to popcorn in small, medium or supersize. Now those same decision-making skills may become useful in the bathroom, thanks to an innovative …
an honest story about dating
I thought Curtis’s recent blog entry about dating was courageously honest. I’m scared silly to discuss my own dating experiences here, but I suspect if I had a similar “marathon elimidate” experience (four dates, four people, four days), I’d probably swear off dating for a while, too. 🙂
Lisa Loeb!
Lisa Loeb is hands-down my favorite singer/songwriter, and a big part of why is in our history together. Lisa was my virgin experience with live music, at the incomparable 9:30 Club in the U Street corridor in DC. That standing-room-only concert was also my virgin experience with a boy trying to pick me up. (Thank …
sap!
It’s been a sappy kind of day. Well, I mean, except for the whole “fog of war” thing from earlier. 😉 I went to see “Touch of Pink” with a couple of fellow YAPpers this afternoon, a delightful British comedy that chronicled the main character, Alim, and his struggle to come out to his very …
I was inspired!
Last night, I finally watched another movie I’ve been meaning to see for a while now, “Under the Tuscan Sun,” starring Diane Lane and based on the book of the same name by Frances Mayes. The movie itself was gorgeously filmed, equal parts touching and amusing, and just generally awesome. But the actual story was …
the fog of war
I’m not even done watching it yet (it’s on as I’m typing this), but I’m already ready to give an unequivocable recommendation that you watch the Academy Award-winning documentary “The Fog of War,” the latest documentary to come out of the brilliant mind of the documentarian Errol Morris. And watch it soon. As a grad …
I heard it on Craig Kilborn…
“The Democrats have pledged $– million to get rid of George Bush. Apparently, nobody told them all they need is a mountain bike and a pebble.”
external validation
YESSSSS!!!!!! I didn’t want to drag him into this, but it’s absolutely necessary to the full understanding of this link. So, when Scott and I split up, he asked for visitation rights and I asked for pet support. We were both joking, of course, ’cause that’s how our friendship has always been. 🙂 With that …
