I met up with a friend I hadn’t seen in 5 years on Tuesday. We were talking about all the usual “oh my gosh, I haven’t seen you in 5 years!” type of things. As these conversations go, we started to get to the people in our lives that we had lost. She informed me that a friend of hers from high-school, Jeff Anderson, had killed himself. At first I thought I could put a...

It's half past Oprah and I'm still in my pajamas.
heylaney: What I always thought working from home would be like: My favorite jeans, an oversized cashmere sweater, hot coffee on the couch draped in a blanket, cleaning the bathroom in between phone calls, a break to get a gourmet sandwich from the place down the block. What working from home is really like: Pajamas at 4:30 because - yawn - why bother, no morning shower, no make-up, no brushed...

OGD - Obsessive Googling Disorder
If you feel sad, depressed or inadequate in any way, shape or form you should keep yourself far away from Google, or search engines of any kind. I think the rest of the Internet is okay as long as you don’t search for anything and stick to the Web sites you know and love that will make you happy.

Brooklyn? Bird Food
So, my BFF Kim asked me if I was going to change the name of my blog because of the move and what not. My response - probably not. I have my reasons. Namely, I think that Kim is the only one that reads my blog. (Not that I don’t appreciate her loyal readership!) In addition, I like the way it sounds. Plus, Brooklyn isn’t just a place I can’t afford to live, it’s a...

Garfield Minus Garfield →
“Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness and...

Come to me sweet sleep
I couldn’t sleep and having taken my last codiene the night before the GRE I decided to go to the living room and have a glass of wine. I always do this. I always can’t sleep on Sunday night. T his leads to bad sleep all week. Which leads to oversleeping Sunday afternoon. Which leads to not being able to sleep on Sunday nights.

C. K. Dexter Haven: Orange juice, certainly.
Tracy Lord: Don't tell me you've forsaken your beloved whisky and whiskies.
C. K. Dexter Haven: No-no-no-no. I've just changed their colour, that's all. I'm going for the pale pastel shades now. There're more becoming of me. How about you, Mr. Connor? You drink, don't you - alcohol, I mean?
Macaulay Connor: Oh, a little.
C. K. Dexter Haven: [Amused] A little? And you a writer? Tsk, tsk, tsk. I thought all writers drank to excess and beat their wives. You know, at one time I think I secretly wanted to be a writer.
