So there’s a new book out called He’s Just Not That Into You by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo, and it’s a dating advice book. I read The Rules when it came out, notice I said “read”, not “committed to memory”, “bought” or even “left the bookstore with”. Let me defend The Rules as a [...]
This is what Yucatan, Kristine’s newest frog, looks like! She says he got him from a reptile show but I think she stole him off a “Come to the rainforest” poster. This is why he is my favorite animal in the house:
Even though he has orange hands, red eyes and purple legs, he does a [...]
I have just uncovered a vast conspiracy. Remember all those books we had to read in high school English classes? Sometimes they didn’t make sense and when we asked why, we’d be told that the novel was stream-of-consciousness writing and an unreliable narrator, and James Joyce was BRILLIANT and obviously if we didn’t think so, [...]

Allison is marrying Jon in June, and I’m going to be one of her bridesmaids. I am so excited! But I express my excitment by talking about [...]

Stick: You know, you’re here all the time anyway. And it’s silly to pay two rents.
Meg: Are you going where I think you’re going with this?
Stick: Do you want to?
Meg: Well, can [...]
Stick, a candidate for Greatest Boyfriend Ever, got me three months of EverQuest 2 for Christmas. I installed my new game — all 10 CDs of it! It was like an old Sierra game! — and found out that I needed a new videocard. I’d actually just gotten my GeForce 4 when I started dating [...]
Contrary to my Jersey girl heritage, I don’t have long nails or airbrushed designs or little rhinestones on my fingertips. I just get a layer of acrylic and polish piled on top of my real nails to make me less likely to bite them. (Yes, I’m 23 and I need to make my fingernails extra-toxic [...]
