It’s Amazing What We Are Capable Of
Ed note: to be read while listening to We Are Waiters. And The Enthusiast. Ooo, and Color Surround. Actually, maybe just listen to all eleven songs…This week as it rained cats and dogs, I arrived home quite damp, but to a freshly flannel sheeted bed (a favor I did for future me that morning) and […]

Lion-Hearted, Take 2!
Ed. note: Wow. There is nothing like when you totally realize you posted a draft, not the blog you meant to post. Sorry about that yesterday, kittens.You now have a slight insight as to how I build out ideas…not terribly exciting, eh? I stumbled across the photo accompanying this post while falling down a […]

Just Labor Day Fun
Because really, who embodies Labor Day more than Bob Marley? Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for […]

To Pre-Date, or Not to Pre-Date
During my convalescence*, I read a lot of trashy magazines. This might come as a shock to those who know me (it certainly made my brother do a double take) but I love me some good, old fashioned beauty quizzes, celeb gossip, and dating tips. Sure, the likes of Glamour**, Cosmo and Women’s Health aren’t really my go-to […]

The Last Hawaiian Date
Guy or girl, first dates have some things in common: they’re nerve-wracking, overly simple but feel complex, and have the possibility of becoming nothing or an undefined something. The proof of this is in the pudding of my last Hawaiian date, with a girl I met on OkCupid. Our messages were short but not brief […]

31

The Dark Matter of Breakups
One of the downfalls of dating – and of being a human who goes outside (or even of the Boo Radley variety for that matter) – is the aftermath of breakups. Since the whole fifty dates project was inspired by a heartbreaking work of breakuppery, ghosts of relationships past have certainly wafted through my mind […]

I’m Calling Some Shenanigans
Every year, my friend Liz used to write reflections about Valentine’s Day. Sometimes she was single, sometimes she was taken. This year, for the first time, she’s engaged for the holiday, and this time next year she’ll be married. She was in town for the week of V-Day, and for the first time since she’d […]

V-Day
Go love. Ignore me today, kittens. Stand up, jump around, write a post-it note to your coworkers and make someone’s day. I dare you.

Strange Days
God, my heart hurts. And I’m not even sure what it’s hurting for. Blasting through the country has led to some strange and possibly displaced emotions. Simultaneously I am soaking up the landscape, history, stories and existence of our country on a level that was incomprehensible before (and in many ways is still hard to […]
