My heart goes out to the friends and families of the victims at Fort Hood.
I have so much to say on this, thoughts and feelings, but, for now, none of that matters.
(If you’re somehow unaware of what happened yesterday, check your preferred media outlet for news on Fort Hood, Texas.)
Dear Orlando:
Please get an STD check. Otherwise, we can’t make out anymore:
It’s 2008. Do you know what potential dangers your child faces?
If you live in Orange County, it could be sexually transmitted diseases, which have jumped far above the state average. In Seminole County, it could be underage drinking among middle- and high-school students.
In Lake, [...]
For the first time in 21 years, a national strike left thousands of schools closed in Britain as teachers combined Thursday with other middle class workers to vent their anger at pay deals that are not keeping up with the soaring cost of living. (source)
Reading that makes me wonder if our own American teachers are [...]
The definition of “public scandal” has become incredibly skewed.
Eliot Spitzer, the governor of New York, is resigning amidst the scandal of having been “involved” in a prostitution ring. It brings to mind all the past scandals; Miss USA Tara Conner, for example, or sweet little Vanessa Hudgens‘ less-than-innocent photos. And, of course, the ever [...]
Dear Lungs and Throat:
I hate you.
Love,
Me
I woke up at 4am — for the second night in a row — to a simple cough. That’s it. And then it didn’t stop. I kept coughing and coughing and coughing, the kind of cough that comes from deep within your lungs and burns your throat [...]
Oh, I do love the news!

As if buying a frozen pizza and having it recalled days later wasn’t bad enough, I just heard that Marc Cherry, the produce of “Desperate Housewives,” is shutting down the show to support the writer’s strike. I have spent the better part of the last four or five weeks catching up on all three [...]
In our infinite quest for convenience and easiness, fueled by our supreme laziness and the fact that we live far, far away from the “main” part of town, we have started shopping at the Wal-Mart grocery store at the entrance to our residential community. Mind you, this is no regular Wal-Mart, chock full of [...]
Jezebel, a celebrity-fashion-all things woman website, wrote an article yesterday with a pretty attention-getting title: Maxim, Entertainment Weekly Agree: Jews, Blacks, Asians Not So “Sexy”
I know, right?
Anyway, they point out that the top two unsexiest women according to Maxim magazine, Sarah Jessica Parker and Amy Winehouse, are both Jewish; naturally, this must be some type [...]
I’m having one of those days where my eyes keep crossing in a desperate attempt to close and drift off and go to sleep…
I’M AWAKE. Wait, what? Where am I?
It’s rainy and miserable outside and I’m sitting here at work trying to burn through the haze of having overslept. I jumped out of [...]
