If you’re a reader or Twitter follower or friend of mine, you know about my absurd vendetta against Taylor Swift. Talking about her really makes my blood boil, and I left my dad in a fit of laughter a few weeks ago when a repeat of her interview on 60 Minutes kicked off a soliloquy … Continue reading »

Christmas wish list
It’s no secret that I am not feeling the Christmas spirit this year. In fact, I haven’t really felt it in several years. I have moments where it’s there, like when I’m walking down Fifth Avenue admiring the holiday windows or feel the urge to listen to some Christmas music. But honestly, overall, I’m bitter … Continue reading »
Giving thanks.
Thanksgiving is my favorite day of the year. This is what you do on Thanksgiving: you get together with family and friends, you gorge yourself on delicious food, you drink wine, you watch football, you probably eat more food and drink more wine, then you go to sleep. There’s no pressure, no dragging yourself to … Continue reading »
A return in numbers.
27: days since my last post. Nearly a month of not feeling like I had to post, and now I’m back to posting when I want to post. So, to catch you up, a summary in numbers of the past 27 days… 0: job I currently have. But… 1: phone interview scheduled for tomorrow. I’m … Continue reading »
My Happiness Project.
Today is Monday. Usually I would be sad about this, but Monday means that last week is completely behind me, and with it the awfulness of packing, moving, unpacking, dealing with my ex, dealing with my ex-roommate, and more unpacking. So this is a new week. And with a new week and a new apartment … Continue reading »

I love their tweets. I love Dustin Penner for calling out ESPN. I love Jonathan Quick … Continue reading »
City of champions, roller coasters, and French fries on top.
Living away from Pittsburgh for the past eight years, I’ve accepted that if I ever date again, the chances of him being from Pittsburgh are pretty slim. Dating a fellow yinzer would be so simple – holidays wouldn’t need to be split between families, battle lines wouldn’t need to be drawn among sporting events, and … Continue reading »
My official guide to shaking a bad day.
Sorry, friends. I really thought I’d get the Elite Eight voting up and running by tonight, but the week got away from me. I’ve been dealing with some unexpected crises at work this week, and after a long day and a long commute, I haven’t had much energy to do anything but sit my ass … Continue reading »
If I’m being honest…
Apparently today was National Honesty Day. I found out about this the way I usually find out about things – aka trending topics on Twitter – and started thinking… what do I need to be honest about? The answer is a lot. I’m really good at saying I’m ok when I’m not and putting on … Continue reading »
Playoff hockey > dating.
The Stanley Cup playoffs start tonight, thus beginning my favorite time of the year. And because the time since I’ve last been on a date is getting dangerously close to a depressingly long time ago, the most satisfying relationship in my life these days is with these guys. In fact, my relationship with the Pens … Continue reading »
