Am I the only outraged person about the case of the woman who left her three day old baby in the care of neighbors and now she is jail?! Yes, she has a record; yes, she “propositioned” an officer after or during a massage for a little “extra;” yes, she was arrested for driving with…

It’s baaaack! Just in time for the warm weather, I might add  This week, I want to share a recipe that is all summery for me. In Italy (and it’s probably something we inherited from the French) there is a dish that is commonly served in restaurants during the summer, it is known as Vitel Tonne’ which literally…

I told you all that I was itching to change theme, again, and here we are. The Hobbit theme was cute and all, but really not me. I liked the layout of the side bar, but the heaviness of the header image was a bit much. So here’s the plan: this theme will remain active…

This rant is based on a conversation that I had with my friend Bill (not H, not D, but C, you know who you are). We were talking about how we are both sick AND tired of being surrounded by people who seem to be completely self-involved. There’s a feeling, and it could be because…

Actually, incredulous is more the feeling here. Just read that the detectives that were charged in the Sean Bell shooting have been acquitted of all charges.

So I had promised you all a big week’s worth of posts and fun things. Well, it was not meant to be. For one, Time Warner Cable (’tards) decided not to give me access. Or rather, I first lost cable access, then phone, then…dear god…internet. All of this a week after I got connected after…

Finally moved away from crazy MOFO. The move was quite smooth; the guys showed up at 9:30 am (and I received a text message saying they were on their way…how cool is that?!). Packing was an international fest as two of the movers were Dominican and one was from Morocco, so I got to practice both my…

“Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.” – Anaïs Nin It has been a year since you passed on. Time really flies and though I cannot say that it heals all wounds, it certainly…

Enhanced with bullet points! Have not yet been approved for apartment. Looks like I’ll be moving at the end of the month. Hopefully. Neighbor has not acted up again. I don’t know what to make of that I have mixed feelings about the upcoming birthday. I’m usually not a big fan of people making a big…
