FROM SEXY TO SLOB: MY NEW MAKEOVER

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 [...]

TOP 10 PERIOD FOODS (X-RATED VERSION)

TOP 10 PERIOD FOODS (X-RATED VERSION)

I just microwaved a plate of pretzels covered with string cheese and bananas. Am I high? No, I have my period. A plate of pretzels, melted banana with cheese plus a can Diet Rite and you got the perfect combination of salt, fat and sweet. You may be thinking: “That’s disgusting,” or, “Jamie sounds like white [...]

SABICH: A DELIGHTFUL MIDDLE EASTERN SANDWICH

SABICH: A DELIGHTFUL MIDDLE EASTERN SANDWICH

I just Googled “hummus.” That’s what happens when I’m bored and eating hummus, and I stumbled upon the “sabich sandwich.” I hate the word “yummy” (oh god I hate that word. There’s a yoga place in Los Feliz called “Yummy Yoga,” and I wince when I drive by it. I want to blow it up…is that [...]

THE WORLD CUP WAS SO STRESSFUL ‘CAUSE I HAD SEX WITH MEN FROM SEVERAL COUNTRIES!!!

THE WORLD CUP WAS SO STRESSFUL ‘CAUSE I HAD SEX WITH MEN FROM SEVERAL COUNTRIES!!!

I found the world cup so stressful ’cause I had sex with several of the represented countries. Who the hell was I supposed to root for? What do you do when you had sex with guys from opposite world cup teams? What incredible pressure! My boyfriend, the one I’m with now, was rooting for Spain in [...]

HERE WE GO

HERE WE GO

I was on my way to the gym just now. Driving furiously while munching on cheddar cheese rice cakes ’cause they are supposed to be healthy. I slurped on a diet soda and thought, “I am so working out. I am not going to not work out. I am going to the gym.” I pulled into [...]

ALRIGHT, LET’S GET BACK TO BUSINESS

ALRIGHT, LET’S GET BACK TO BUSINESS

Hi Reluctant! It’s me, your conscious. Start fucking writing your blog and stop fluffing off in your apartment. Yes I know you’re in love. Yes, you’ve had a sexual revolution. Ok, but ummm, could you just check in and write a little? Cause…um….you may have people (major assumption) who want you to write more, so [...]

JAMIE, ASSISTANT MANAGER

JAMIE, ASSISTANT MANAGER

My name is Jamie and I’m the Assistant Manager at Denny’s on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. That’s cool, right? I never thought I’d work on Sunset Boulevard. I got the job through Craigslist. I thought, “Why not? Why couldn’t I be the Assistant Manager?” I didn’t feel like I needed to work my way [...]

CAT LEASHES. CRAZY? OR, CRAZY COOL?

CAT LEASHES. CRAZY? OR, CRAZY COOL?

My Mom once told me that she bought a leash for her cat “Farfel.” That’s when I thought my Mom had gone nuts. I pictured having to move home to Boston and take her to the loony bin. Cats and women have such a stigma. NO MAN wants to hear about my cats. (I only [...]

CRAIGSLIST JOB FROM HELL #583 “PERSONAL ASST./INTERN NEEDED FOR ACTRESS”

CRAIGSLIST JOB FROM HELL #583 “PERSONAL ASST./INTERN NEEDED FOR ACTRESS”

It is becoming way too easy to find shitty jobs on Craigslist. I realize they are not asking people to shovel manure or feces. I know it’s not that bad, but given the economy and standard of living, it’s kinda’ hard to subsist on $12 an hour with a Masters Degree. Y’know? Let’s take a [...]

WRITING THE BANAL DAILY DRIVEL

WRITING THE BANAL DAILY DRIVEL

This is a blog. By nature it feels like one should write a blog daily. The problem is that I write essays and I fear watering them down with daily drivels about random things, yet I may be underestimating the potential of this blog. I don’t want this to become my “The Artist’s Way” Morning [...]

WHAT THE HECK SHOULD WE TALK ABOUT?

WHAT THE HECK SHOULD WE TALK ABOUT?

So many interesting things happened in the last two weeks of not writing the blog. 1. I made out with some random guy from the Republic of Georgia at a strip club. Yes, I realize that makes me sound like complete whore, but I can honestly say it was very innocent. Well, not very innocent, [...]

“I’M SCARED I’LL PEE MYSELF” OR “THINGS I SHOULD NEVER ADMIT”

“I’M SCARED I’LL PEE MYSELF” OR “THINGS I SHOULD NEVER ADMIT”

I will probably regret writing about this issue, but I thought about it twice today. I have a fear of peeing in public. Okay, first question you may have is: “Have you ever peed yourself?” The answer is no I have not, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t. When did this start? It started [...]
