Maternity Concierge
I just started watching this totally trash show about wealthy, entitled, clueless women who need to hire someone to help them through pregnancy and the first few days after birth. Most of the women are clueless when it comes to babies. The star takes all of her new clients through a test to find out what their "Mommy IQ" is. Most of them fail at ( Read more... ) -
Can't Leave Well Enough Alone
“Samuel rode lightly on top of a book and he balanced happily among ideas the way a man rides white rapids in a canoe. But Tom got into a book, crawled and groveled between the covers, tunneled like a mole among the thoughts, and came up with the book all over his face and hands ( Read more... ) -
Could have been a Contender
Zombie Shabbat
Probably a misnomer. I think it should be called Zombie preparedness Shabbat. Either way, I brought Zombieland to watch, there were brain cupcakes, I believe there was also a zombie hunt (with nerf guns), and a talk about the resurrection of the dead. Right now, I am listening to a conversation that is the epitome of why I left ( Read more... ) -

I've been pretty stressed about the German exam and expected the pressure to be off last night when I would check my email and find out for sure that I was in. Instead, I had a hard time on the exam and didn't get in. I don't even have recourse to the "I was qualified but there were ( Read more... ) -
Dear Boobs
I have wanted you to be bigger almost my whole life. But enough is enough. I know that I am on my period and therefore bloated, but you are spilling out of my c-cups now and it looks incredibly inappropriate. Plus, I know when I loose weight, you will shrink. So please don't tease me now with a giant rack that will go away. -
Aposiopesis
I wish I could muster more to say instead of sitting here dumb with shock. Or cry. But all I feel is the knot in my stomach, the inability to sleep, and my failure to ever get to know him really ( Read more... ) -
Don't you hear the laughter on the way down?
I wanted to think, have fought for years to think, that economic childhood advantages were only tools for apathetic heirs to dumb fortune who would always have more money than sense. And if I just worked harder, too my advantages where they arose, pursued relentlessly, I could even the playing field. I have also been under the false supposition ( Read more... ) -
Life Sucks, Charlie Brown
Awkward thinds are unbearably awkward. I hate awkward. At least I've resolved the problems with Mr. You Can See the Pyramids from my Window. He pushed things to incredible heights of inappropriate, while still claiming that he respects that I am married, etc etc. I find that I hate him now because he is intruding where he should not be. He is ( Read more... )
