Pros/Cons
If all restaurants adopted this policy, it would eradicate bad days. If all restaurants adopted this policy, the world may be faced with an ice cone shortage. That, my friends, would be a dismal world.
2010 Urban Garden Party
Oh hey, remember last year when I went to that really super awesome party at the Mattress Factory Art Museum? I got to go again this year! There were skateboarders…. … some pretty decorations… … good food… …. excellent music…. … and of course, great, great, great, great people. Some of whom I may have [...]
The Candy Man Can
My sister texted me last week that she was going to be in Pittsburgh over the weekend and wanted to meet Sunday morning for pancakes. Because I’m me, I like to play a board game while I wait for my flapjacks. The decision on what to play took some time: Me: Do you want to [...]
Sneaky, Sneaky Girl Scouts
Due to my work schedule, I do most of my grocery shopping at night. This works out pretty well because I abhor waiting in lines and the only people who go to the grocery store as late as I do are frantic folks picking up gallons of milk, baggy-eyed nurses still in scrubs, and weird [...]
Pho Good
Just a hint: when Uncle Crappy organizes a Pho Tweet-up, you must go. It’s that simple. I got the bun dac biet- a spring roll, pork and shrimp with lettuce, bean sprouts, cucumbers, peanuts and noodles. Not a soup, which is what almost everyone else got, but super good. Sadly, I’m a mess with chopsticks [...]
Mining Monday: OM NOM NOM Edition
What are two of my favorite things in the entire world? Brunch and old things. And what happens when you bring them both together… GREATNESS THAT’S WHAT. This is why I love the Zenith. Jesus knows it’s hugs not drugs. Chairs on the ceiling! How Mary Poppins of you. Oh Ton-nee! Those above shots I [...]
Old News and New Oldies
I think 10 days after the new year has started might be considered too late to still be writing about the previous year, but I always oversleep and misjudge how long it’s going to take me to drive somewhere, so this shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Anyways, this is the space where I share [...]
My Year In Review
This year was… okay. I didn’t start a new job, move to a new house or a buy a new car, unlike last year. It was bookended with car problems in January and December. I met a ton of new people and grew apart from others. I’m still single. The optimist in me would like [...]
Hats Off, For Goodness Sake
Most of my friends are older than me, but some are the same age. They’re all much cooler with the quarter-life-crisis crap than I am, and I have more than seven months to go. This isn’t a surprise, I’ve always been a worrier. But enough about me (for once). This isn’t my birthday (it’s Gina’s [...]
In Defense of Brunch
I started writing this last week about the brunch I ate that day. Nothing earth-shattering, but I wanted to add a link to a quote from Amy Sedaris about disliking brunch (I swear it would have made sense in what I was writing at the time). Instead what I found was a whole anti-brunch movement. [...]
