this whole “dating” thing? can eat a bag of dicks

I went on a coffee date last Sunday with a really interesting and attractive young man, and when we parted he said something about being busy all this (past) week but we should talk over IM. Since then? Not a word, written or otherwise. I thought we’d gotten along really well, but now I am [...]

sanguine

Last Sunday afternoon I met the Professor for Korean food in Uptown. We ate spring rolls and bowls filled with rice noodles, peanuts, pork, and bean sprouts.
After we ate, we walked around his neighborhood, looking at the exotic–to me, anyway–items in the near-by Korean grocery stores. There were whole sardines on ice, huge bags of [...]

sexual healing

I’ve been on many dates recently. Yesterday I had two- a coffee date with a large, bearded avanat garde theater artist, and a stout and sushi and Arrested Development “date” with my friend Sideburns.
The first date was okay. The fellow was interesting, but I didn’t feel much of a spark, and I had to [...]

smashypants

A fairly nice post from my archives, about a boy I once kissed alot one drunken summer.

movie fail

I tried to go see a movie with my friend T – bone, but every movie we tried to see was sold out (we tried three different movies at two different theaters). This did not seem to bode well for socializing, so I decided to just go home and watch the movie I had from [...]

the new year begins: food porn and zombies

Seth and I had a decadent five course dinner at Bite cafe for New Year’s Eve. The menu was:

endive leaves (?) stuffed with goat cheese, candied walnuts and pumpkin seeds
corn and potato chowder with parmesan crostini
green salad with champagne vinaigrette
skirt steak with chimichurri sauce, Gruyere mashed potatoes, and sauted zucchini
blondie sundae and free coffee.

Then we [...]

more tales of clumsiness

A few mornings ago I was making coffee, and I was so tired and out of it I poured the coffee beans into the coffee maker where the water goes instead of pouring them into the coffee grinder. Ten minutes ago, I went to take a drink of coffee and essentially poured it down the [...]

a weekly wrap-up of sorts

I’m trying to articulate exactly what it is about my boss and my work environment that bother me so much. “Bother” is too weak a word, though. The whole situation offends me, or something. I’m not sure what.
1. The emphasis on neatness. My boss keeps harping on how my desk needs to be neater, because [...]

who’s a pretty kitty?

The apartment and those who live in it, currently and imminently
I’ve become that sad single girl who talks to her cat in a high pitched voice, calling him a “Pretty kitty, who’s the prettiest kitty?” But it’s not sad because he IS the prettiest kitty, especially since he let me put his new black collar [...]

the many ‘loves’ of this anonymous blogger

I believe that a man update is in order.
1.
Remember NYK? Pretty much a complete bastard. I wrote him a couple of notes with about a week or so in between each one (essentially, Hey, what’s up), and what did I get in return? Not even so much as a kiss-off email, which, although the kiss-off [...]
