Writer's Block
So I’ve been trying to put together this piece for…oh..months. And by “trying to put [it] together” I mean the idea came to me over the summer and I thought about outlining it and then didn’t do anything about it and NOW I’m putting figurative “pen to paper” and it’s hard.
And maybe it’s because I haven’t written anything in a long...

Is it like, a rule or something that one must watch HBO shows in blocks of 3-5 episodes at a time? Because yours truly and yours truly’s friend have been INHALING “Game Of Thrones” these last two nights.
The problem there, is that we choose to do so while kind of hammered and then KEEP drinking while watching and the next thing we know, it’s like, 6 or 7am and the...

– Peter and I met on one of those forum-based sites when we were both in college and have more or less remained in touch ever since. We don’t talk very often, and this may be the first “real” conversation we’ve had in a while, and this was one of his initial reactions.

How are you so good at this friendship after breakup thing? Please, tell me your secrets. Also, hey, California!
Girl, I have no idea, but apparently I don’t totally suck at it because I’m…pretty damned close with most of my exes and have been since almost immediately after the breakups.
There are, of course, a few exceptions....

Some Thoughts
What started out as a CRAPPY WEEK (a breakup, broken computer, lost CTA card) has turned out to not suck so bad thanks to thinks like restaurant week, old friends, my computer being fixed in RECORD MOTHERFUCKING TIME, TWO concerts and being the kind of drunk that makes you have to check your phone in the morning to see if you have to apologize for and texts/photos/actions/social media...

Pro Tip:
In the event that you lose your CTA card for like, the ten billionth time because you lose everything, order a new card immediately. Do not wait until the following day. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

So I’m nursing a cold, right? My nose is one big faucet and I carry around a box of Kleenex and a bunch of drugs to help me breathe, that I refer to as my portable pharmacy. This is particularly awesome looking when you work at a bar and are washing your hands every ten seconds because you touched your nose or blew your nose or whatever.
Anyway. When you have a cold, and you blow your nose...
