When I was walking home from the Sephora in my neighborhood on Saturday, a youngish woman stopped me and asked me if I knew of a place close by to buy a blender. I directed her to the nearest Bed Bath & Beyond, when she, for reasons unknown, started to tell me all about how [...]

With New York’s fast pace making me feel more insane than usual, I jumped at the opportunity to escape to the snowy mountains of Park City, Utah for this year’s Sundance Film Festival and festivities. As I packed my thermals, Polartec, wool sweaters and huge robotic-like ski gloves, I was seriously excited to be somewhere [...]

This past Sunday, Boyfriend received a scolding e-mail from his boss, which I found ludicrous. In this e-mail, which he was reading on his Droid, which he was required to get when taking on this job, asking why he had not replied to an e-mail from their client that was sent earlier in the weekend.

A valued friend recently enlightened me on how to permanently avoid performing the walk of shame in one small, simple, user-friendly step. No this isn’t an infomercial and no, it doesn’t involve sobriety, responsibility, a buddy-system or locking yourself in your room.

Yesterday was by far, the worst day ever. Wellllllllll maybe not the worst ever, but pretty damn close. It began like any other day. My alarm went off at 6:15 a.m. and I hopped in the shower, full of hope and promise for the day to come. And then it went downhill from there . [...]
