Back to the drawing board...Valentine's Day was a disaster. It's alright, though, because I did manage to have a great night Sunday. I saw Coraline in 3D with the ever-lovely Alzy, had some yummy sushi and sake, hung out at one of my favorite bars, and had hot hotel sex with a stranger. I have several huge bruises on my chest, my nipples are... Read More
My 3 month review last Thursday went very well...I got a tiny raise! It's not going to help me get a new place or anything, but it's a nice gesture considering the state of the economy (and our practice). My boss is also going to use me for writing and editing projects, so that's good, too.
Life is good. I have lovely friends here. My love life is entertaining, fulfilling, and still surprises me. I have time to write, even if I use it to goof around online instead or to watch Viggo Mortensen's nude fight scene in Eastern Promises over and over again. I'm reading a delicious, quasi-historical novel about Gaugin and his grandmother (respectively). I get to play in... Read More
Monday night, dinner w/a friend at my favorite Indian/Chinese place in Jackson Heights. Fresh hot naan and basmati rice with cilantro and spicy chicken tikka masala is great when it's snowing outside.
Tuesday/Wednesday worked hard and stayed home like a good girl.
Thursday saw Milk with a good friend and had drinks at a couple of bars. Didn't get any... Read More
It was great hanging out with my old roomie again. I missed him a lot. We both were pretty busy when I moved up here and then he traveled a lot over the holidays so we hadn't hung out in a while. He's like family to me. We watched cheesy action flicks Friday night and had a few beers, and then he came out Saturday... Read More
Just got home from seeing my first play in New York, Equus. I was impressed. There were a few moments of performance-art silliness with the horse-heads and dancers but it was a beautifully written play and I though the cast did a great job, too. I'm a total Law & Order nerd and recognized the woman playing the main character's mom as Dr. Olivet from... Read More
That big scene with the horses is tough to stage! Unless you've got actual horses up there, it's bound to look like the world's worst Lion King outtakes.
I first saw it back when I was in college, but couldn't get past my preexisting crush on the actress from the stable-sex scene. She never did invite me to those stables....
I met a very tall, very well-spoken, very lovely man tonight and had just one glass of prosecco. I'm still buzzing.
Forget The Wrestler, Revolution Road, Milk, Let the Right One In, and all the other movies I want to see that are out right now. I will see this first if it kills me:
Man-I have the worst NyQuil hangover. I went to bed embarrassingly early and that's what I get. Woot. At least this time around I've got new books to read. I went to The Strand over the holidays and got myself some birthday presents: Confessions of a Sinner by St. Augustine, The Razor's Edge by Somerset Maugham, The Complete Poems of Catallus, and The Way to...

I'm so glad 2008's done and we all get a fresh start (even if it is an arbitrary one). I'm getting ready for work, so don't have time to write about everything I did over the holidays with my friend from Atlanta. I had a great time but I'm glad to have my routine back. I guess that's human nature. I'm also... Read More
I met with a new pet-sitting client yesterday, and I almost had a panic attack I was so nervous. He was so intimidating over the phone, and he lives on Madison Ave. in the UES. I got to his place, however, and met a very sweet old man. His dog is a lovely little spaniel that reminds me of my old lady dog that passed... Read More
