Before the rotten tomatoes start flying, a little disclaimer. I support the demonstrations/protests/occupations/tent cities. I am excited about this uproar of spirit and unity. I have a bunch of friends and family down there and I am intensely proud of them. They are some of the sweetest, most generous and environmentally conscious people I…
Category: The awesomeness that is the inner workings of my somewhat disturbed and unarguably juvenile mind
Because these things happen to me…
So I’m at a client’s house the other day… Innocently feeding her baby, minding my own business and also trying very much to mind the baby’s face and hands since, due to a lack of high chair, she was sitting in my lap. Mom enthusiastically chopped a chicken into 40 pieces right in front of…
Heroin, Explosives And Nut Meats etc..
This is not a blog post. This is a stream of conscious writing ramble on the train. Driving takes about 6 or 7 hours depending on where in New York you’re going but the stress of traffic can be exhausting and paying for parking in New York city is almost as expensive as a hotel…
And the sky is grey…
I’ve wanted to move to California since I was 12 years old. On my 13th birthday my friend gave me a bottle of pink champagne which she smuggled back for me from a family vacation to Hollywood. The plan was to drink it on my 16th birthday, on our way to California in the…
Urban Honesty
Honestly!! An Urban Dictionary? For what? Our language is going to hell in a hand-basket and there are real live humans who actually believe that it is a reliable source of legitimate information. What kind of humanity leads to literary chaos so powerful that even the Oxford English Dictionary is bullied into granting ‘trolleyed’, ‘jazz…
My Vagina + Household Cleaner = Unconditional Love
When we see the news we are often taken aback by the stories of stupidity and wonder what the hell is wrong with somebody who leaves their baby alone in the car for hours but it’s kind of hard to blame them when you see some of the messages they get when they watch television…
True Dat
I confess. The reason why I missed days and weeks of blogging is because I submitted myself to my most dangerous blog research experiment to date. True Blood. There, I said it and I honestly felt the weight lift off me with each word. I feel safe now, less alone. “Why Jen?” You might…
From here to nowhere in 3 days…
Not that I think my life is a T.V. show or anything but… After 2 24 hour days straight of packing the hell out of my house because I can’t deal with the on going harassment of my landlords a minute longer, I shower, make some tea and curl up on the couch to…
Control versus Chinese Food
The pros to being a single parent include an entire category labeled CONTROL. I’m not ashamed to admit it. Having control makes parenting so much easier. I don’t mean actual control over your children or their behaviour, I’m not that delusional. I mean control of parenting them. Also, there is a certain truth about the…
Bad Boyfriend!
We had just had the most amazing sex ever. I could still taste it. We went for a boardwalk stroll, holding hands and gazing adoringly into each other’s eyes. We walked right up to this girl who was waiting with wide eyed anticipation as we approached her. My boyfriend turned to me and said… “Jen,…
