BFAM Day 31: The Bitter End
BEDA Fail Atonement Month is at an end, and I’m pretty sure that it’s been a mostly useless, if sometimes entertaining, venture. I don’t know what I set out to accomplish at the beginning of the month, and I’m not sure I did accomplish anything. My writing didn’t improve, my readership didn’t expand, I didn’t [...]

One thing that annoys me about Nashville is the lack of decent ice cream. Summers growing up in Cincinnati were marked by weekly visits to the Lil Goodie Shoppe, Zip Dip, General Custer’s, and on very special ocassions, Putz’s. And of course, there was always Graeter’s and UDF.
Our summertime food groups were: sugar cones, glaciers, [...]

Today is my birthday. And recently, I’ve discovered that I am lacking a certain amount of perspective in my life.
A year ago, I was preparing to head off to Bosnia after wrapping up my failed stint in grad school. I was living in DC and I was fully aware of and engrossed in national and [...]

In possibly the most exciting and shocking news to hit the internet this weekend:
My Scottish Best Friend, the Internet Herself, that adorable little pixlet we all know and love, Lisa-Marie is to be married in the indeterminate future to crime writer and novelist extraordinaire, The Stringer.
The blogosphere is all abuzz. The Twittosphere is all atweet. [...]

This weekend at home has been pretty great. I found out on Friday night that my stepsister is pregnant again. My dad and Jenny got me an underwater MP3 player for my birthday and I’ve been mentally arranging a playlist for my next set in the pool. (I’m also pretty much obsessed with Kings of [...]

Being home is sort of fascinating, because when I’m away, I tend to forget how awesome and hilarious my hometown is.
I’m so ready to be finished with BFAM, but I’m 24 days in and still going strong. Being home makes it difficult to compose my thoughts into a coherent blog, so I’ll just say that [...]

BFAM Day 23: She Stood To Fly
The cat is out of the bag. I was trying to keep this a bit of a secret, but my dear friend Libby happened to mention it in the last entry’s comments.
Wednesday night, I spent two and a half hours getting my ribcage tattooed. With a crane. It is awesome. And huge. And pretty.
And I’m [...]

BFAM Day 19: Like a Rock
Yeah, so I guess I was all JK-LOLing about this. Figures, they’re closed this coming Saturday due to the Memorial Day holiday. I suppose my eyes will have to suffer a bit longer.
And speaking of suffering: My truck. My 1998 Ford Ranger. My truck that has moved me to and from New York, to and [...]

It makes me ridiculously happy to discover that my optometrist from home is an in-network provider under my insurance plan. (Which is more proof, in case I needed any, that my life has reached a new level of absurdity. Or maybe it’s called adulthood.)
Either way, I’m making an appointment for next Saturday while I’m home, [...]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!
Today is my mom’s birthday, and since I can’t celebrate with her tonight, we’re going to celebrate in September, when I take her to see WICKED at Jackson Hall.
Last night I went to a Perky Bra Party, which sounds a lot less fun than it actually was. The basic premise was something like [...]
