This past spring, I described a jumpsuit as being “hideous”. Well, lo and behold, about 6 weeks ago, Vogue darling and actress Lupita Nyong’o wore that jumpsuit to an event at one of the film festivals. I stand corrected: she looked great. It’s still not a good look for me. And I’m still waiting to…
This weekend, we powered through 3 episodes of HBO’s new series, Westworld. I loved it, and am excited for tonight’s fourth episode. I don’t usually like Westerns (except No Country for Old Men), but this one has a healthy dose of Sci Fi and dystopia. I’ve also seen it compared to Lost, a “mystery box”…
Years ago – more than 10 years ago – in university, I had a frenemy. True story. Let’s call her Amy. We’d met our first week on campus, and we were from the same town and had some things in common. We got along. I thought she was cool, and that we had fun together. Sure,…
A few weeks ago, I read an article about the legal challenges facing Canadian polyamorists. WordPress isn’t recognizing “polyamorists” as a word – its spell-checker doesn’t like it. WordPress, it’s a new world. Here are two things I believe deeply: To quote Pierre Trudeau: “The state has no place in the bedrooms of the nation”.…
The other night, as Z sat unsuspectingly on the couch, enjoying a quiet night in, I discovered an intruder in our kitchen cupboard. A sole dreaded pantry moth. Bain of my mother’s existence, and of bags of starchy foodstuffs everywhere. “Oh God, Honey!” I cried. “We have one – we have a moth!” “What?” he…
Did you watch the second Trump-Clinton debate? We watched. And talked about it, and read it, and formed opinions, etc. After all was said and done, though, earlier tonight I was curious: who was Hillary wearing? Because – for those of you who don’t follow politics – she has looked really nice lately. Clinton herself will…
Alright readers, I’m back. The other day, a friend mentioned she had some jealousy issues. This wasn’t a newsflash – I’ve observed them and teased her before – but as we were talking about it this time, I started thinking: “Wow, I’m not really jealous.” She: “Well, you know (boyfriend name) is so friendly and…
I know what you’re thinking: you’ve missed me, oh God, how you’ve missed me. I have days where I have so much to say, but I haven’t had one of those in a while. I can’t tell if I’m through with talking, or just have a case of the ennui. There was a time when that…
This is a ridiculous – RIDICULOUS – complaint, I know. For years, YEARS, I’ve seen cute, pretty shoes – affordable and work-appropriate – that I’ve liked. And when I pick them up, I realize they’re Ivanka Trump, and I just cannot do it. I cannot bring myself to buy a single pair of Ivanka Trump…
Did you and your spouse do your renovation without fighting? Trick question. No married couple has ever completed a home renovation without fighting. The only couple I’ve ever heard of getting through a renovation without one spat is the one profiled in the first couple of paragraphs here: The thing about the renovation is that…
