NBC has apparently run out of original, creative, or even funny material for their fall line-up. Whitney, a new series debuting this fall, is a sitcom about "a happily unmarried couple" that "tries to have a relationship... in a world that expects a more traditional approach". Not the most original premise for a sitcom. The offense of this series however, is not its unoriginality in the plot

Where is the Versatility?

2011-09-09T20:47:00.000-07:00

Maybe I'm getting old, maybe I'm getting bored with the city, or maybe I wish there was more than one lesbian bar that was centrally located, somewhat my kind of crowd, and special enough for a friend's bday. There just aren't a ton of options. Ok, I know that there are options, but not a ton. A woman once told me that the reason that they aren't any lesbian bars, or that the lesbians bars don't

Pigeoned...

2011-07-27T19:21:00.000-07:00

We've officially been pigeoned. Pigeoned? Yes, pigeoned. As one half of a good Elmhurst-dwelling lesbian couple, my girlfriend, has dutifully been trolling our fire escape window box in preparation for our sunflower/herb/catnip garden. This afternoon, to her dismay, a pigeon perched itself smack center in her beloved flower box. I would love to say that lesbian conqueored nature in this case,

Great Gelato!!!

2010-10-25T09:10:00.000-07:00

I am a firm believer in the majestic powers of chocolate. And when it comes in the form of creamy gelato in a little cup with a tiny spoon, those magical powers are even all more consuming. I like my gelato and I my chocolate, I just swoon over any establishment that offers me the choice of three different chocolates when I order, and this is exactly what you should expect at Grom (a gelato

Anyone know those shiny loafer shoes with the tassles? I want a pair. I think they're Autumn lesbian chic.

New York Exhaustion/Psychosis...

2010-08-01T20:50:00.000-07:00

There are very few things in life that I love as much as writing. There are even fewer that are able to provide me with a solace when I feel as if I might go stark raving mad. This psychosis is a common effect on New Yorkers I believe. It's hard to live in a city of congestion, filth, murder and bitchiness without feeling as if your mind might implode at least once a week. Most often, for myself

New York City?!?!

2010-07-31T19:16:00.000-07:00

You know the salsa commercial where the cowboy looks into the camera and exclaims in horror, NEW YORK CITY!? Whether you or don't, the point is that the cowboy is correct in his astonishment, who would ever really want to live in this city? The housing is overpriced, the food though yummy is overpriced, and every other possible thing that one might need to live is jacked up

If April Showers Bring May Flowers What Does April Snot Bring???

Staying home does not suit me. Moreover, being sick doesn't. Paid time off should be spent at the beach, playing travel scrabble with my lady, not home sick first with the influenza and then with laringitis/cough/cold/flemminess. Presently we do not play travel scrabble, but we plan on it. The fact that the Scrabble is "travel" is trivial beyond its obvious convenience.What do I take from this

It's been a while...

2010-04-08T19:10:00.000-07:00

So it's a been a while. What are people's thoughts on "Demand Studios"? Any thoughts at all? Anyone reading this know at all what I'm talking about? It's seems to me that you have to get pretty good at their format and be able to gather a lot of info on a lot of random topics pretty quickly to be able to make any money with it. I suppose it's good practice for my writing either way. Yes???So, I

Sometimes, as in a crappy job market such as ours,experience is only ink deep. If you are unable to print it on a resume under an italicized or bold title with a start and end date, you might as well be scratching your ass or picking your nose, because anything else means jackshit. Why don't people have sections of their resume titled "The Shit That Really Matters" and "If You Give Me a Chance

Not Your Typical Post...

2010-03-30T19:00:00.000-07:00

Every Shabbat dinner my family had when I was a child was identical to the one prior. My mother's pots would clang over the Israeli music coming from our old, oversized silver casette player, the one with the counter my mother used for when she recorded my sister and I practicing the piano. My family, immediate or extended, is by no means boring, monotonous or mundane. We are lounder, more

Chicken Insides and Mayo...

2010-03-28T11:08:00.000-07:00

Braised chicken is what trickled into my gray matter during my weekend. Braised chicken and how to pluck and feather a bird properly. No, not really, but that you have to take the shmutz out of the middle, pull the neck out of the little bag and feel around for the heart. Then drop the neck on the clean kitchen floor and hear your girlfriend squeal. Before this weekend, if you had handed me a raw

It's IKEA or bust... For a dresser that is. Recommendations for 2nd hand stores with funky/vintage/retro furnishings would be appreciated.

Reveling in Slow Reading...

2010-03-23T12:21:00.000-07:00

I always believed I was a fairly slow reader. It doesn't really matter I suppose. Do I enjoy what I read? Yes. Does my father, the man who blows through two hardcover new releases in a 8 hour period while waiting to have surgery also enjoy his books? I assume so. But what I have come to determine over the past three days, a period of time in which I purchased a new book, read only that title and

GO OBAMA!!!

2010-03-22T15:24:00.000-07:00

Well, they did it. Healthcare, at least I think they did. I'm not exactly sure why they have to vote so many times and why they insist on using a gavel, but none the less, they did it. Go President Obama! Hell yes we can! It gets me all firedup and patriotic. Can't you tell? Well, if you can't take my word for it. It is a dreary Monday morning in Manhattan. Ironically, I'm sitting in my doctor's

Frustration...

2010-03-21T22:14:00.000-07:00

So apparently it is much easier to setup your own FB page for your blog and have numerous individuals as your friends than it is to have more than five individuals follow your blog. Did that make sense? Then again, those five individual don't exactly count (no offense to any of the five). Let me explain... One is the girlfriend, one is the best friend (well two actually), one is best friend's

So apparently "tracking back" and inserting a link are two totally different things huh? Didn't know that... So here is the link to the aphrodisiac food... Sorry about the heterosexual couple making out on the top of the page... Or would it be blog??? Does a blog have a page??? Oy...

Perhaps I'm a bitch or innately an anxiety ridden country girl at heart. Whatever the truth may be, I've taken to heart the antisocial habits of a true New Yorker. Point in case (never loved that expression), public transportation. Don't get me wrong, I love the train, subway, metro; whatever you call or refer to it as, the NYC MTA hold a special place in my heart. No, it's not for the putrid

Dating a chef is fabulous! She's a great cook and knows all the aphrodisiacs to put in our dinner. But in a way I feel like she slipping me the date rape drug!!!

"Pat the Dead Rabbit"

2010-03-14T19:36:00.000-07:00

Work gives me anxiety, period. I don't mean butterflies in my stomach, first date or piano recital anxiety; I mean full on, full blown, stomach wretching, heart thumping, hand tremor anxiety. Why? Because "Pat the Bunny" doesn't have an ISBN. I'll explain... An ISBN number, for those who are not aware, is pretty much a book's product number. Turn over any hard or softcover book and there it is,
