FROM SEXY TO SLOB: MY NEW MAKEOVER
“I always try to look my best,” my male friend explained upon my arrival in Los Angeles three years ago, “Because you never know who you will run into and it’s important to always look your best.” I’ve been thinking about this sentiment and exactly what is my best. I have come to the conclusion [...]
THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE AND TAKING A CHANCE
Four months ago my boyfriend’s sister said to me, with the force, accuracy and aim of a marksman, “You’re stuck in the past. That’s your problem.” We didn’t know each other that well and I was a bit taken aback. Given that she had just recently met me, a tiny voice in me muttered, “No, [...]
DEVITA NATURAL SKIN CARE. MY NEW FAVORITE!
This post is very “un-Jamie.” I may not talk about sex, boobs, masturbating, etc. I want to talk to you about something girly, but it’s for men too. Here’s a little unknown fact about me: When I was 21, I started using skin care products from natural food stores and when I was 25, I [...]
FINISHING THE BOOK
“I just want to burn it,” I said to my boyfriend in bed last night. “I just want it all to go away.” “I know,” he comforted, “But maybe it will go away if you write it.” I tried to explain to him: “I’ve been writing this book for ten years. Why am I doing [...]
FUCK CORPORATE AMERICA
I do not function in corporate America. You may. That’s great. You may never function working at a bakery or a restaurant and writing and performing theater at night, but I do. I’m not going to continue lying to myself or others. If you don’t like me cause you think I’m less responsible, that’s fine. [...]
LET THE BUSH GROW: A CALL TO WOMEN
Just as I was about to shave down there, I stopped and made up a little song called “Let the bush grow.” I sang it loud and proud. I then realized that since I can hear my crazy neighbor screaming at random people, she could probably hear me belting out my new war song, “Let [...]
I ADMIT IT: I LOVE GOFUGYOURSELF.COM
I‘ve been hiding this fact for a while. Hiding that every night as my guilty pleasure, I go to Go Fug Yourself and snicker. It’s really funny: “Can we discuss why someone at Self hates Jenna Fischer? Seriously. She’s CUTE. And yet here they appear to have photoshopped her face to the point where it [...]
A LITTLE KNOWN FACT: I’M WRITING A BOOK
I started thinking tonight about the suggestion to, “Write about your childhood,” by a reader of this blog. It struck me as poignant. I am almost embarrassed to tell you how long I have been “writing about my childhood.” When I was 24, I started writing a book of childhood memories. I first titled it, [...]
WHAT HAPPENED ON MONDAY NIGHT
I didn’t feel well on Monday. My husband thinks my mostly-vegetarian diet has too much fiber. I was, as you’d say, “clogged up” and close to “internal combustion.“ I tried one “innocuous” method my Grandfather used. “Jamie,“ he’d ask, “Can you go to the store and get me some Fleet suppositories“? They don’t work for [...]
BLOGGER’S REGRET
I am plagued with “blogger’s regret.“ After I publish a post, I often regret it. I really want to take down some things I write, but I feel weird erasing stuff on the website. (I did once put up a picture of what “down-there” looked like after my bikini wax and my husband said, “Are [...]
CALENDAR POLL! (IF I WASN’T SO TIRED, I’D NEVER ASK THIS)
Okay, time for another fun poll on my blog that’s full of meaning and important shit. Which sexy school girl costume do you like for my calendar? They are all kind of ridiculous…but I want the best one. I will wear the outfit that wins! You can vote to the right. (Don’t worry, it’s still [...]
WHO LOVES UNSOLICITED ADVICE??? NOT ME!
Be warned this post may sound a little angry, but if I don’t get this short manifesto off my shoulders, I tend to linger on an idea for days. I’ve come to a point in my life where I don’t love unsolicited negative advice. For example, many people told me that moving from NYC to [...]
