Just Hit Publish.

February 13, 2012

Mama said share. I can’t tell you how many posts I’ve started and never finished. An idea or thought will strike me that I want to share, and I’ll get the first paragraph down and then… nothing. I want to write, so badly – at an emotionally messy time like this I know it could [...]

A Little Something for the Photog (and Un-Photog) Nerds. So… All the People With iPhones, Then.

January 30, 2012

Mama said share. I am decidedly un-photogenic… both in front of and behind the camera. I don’t know anything about light, or lenses, or framing, and I tend to count to 3 differently every time, so you can’t even be sure exactly when I’m going to say “cheese!” Basically, I’m the worst. But, thankfully, with [...]

Guys. GUYS. GUYS!!!!!!!!!! It’s Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere!!!!!!!!!!

January 19, 2012

Mama said share. I had a lot of good moments last year. I discovered my professional trajectory and freaking LAUNCHED myself down it. I traveled all over the country, for work and for pleasure, and found them equally rewarding (and often equally drunk. What?) And I made countless new friends in DC and beyond; people [...]

Let’s Get Snarky This Sunday

January 13, 2012

Mama said share. So, you may have heard about this little “awards show” that’s happening on Sunday. I’m not allowed to mention it by name for top secret legal reasons I don’t understand (see sponsored note below), but I’m pretty sure y’all know the one I mean. The one about all the TV shows, with [...]

And Then I Went to See a Psychic

November 28, 2011

Mama said share. Last Tuesday, I went to see a psychic. Actually, the preferred word seems to be intuitive, which really makes much more sense to me. Honestly, I’d never really thought about whether I was a “believer” or not before. I assumed there were plenty of hacks of course – people on the Venice [...]

Silver Linings, a Totchoes Lament, and a Whole Lot of Fear

November 23, 2011

Mama said share. So, yeah. That happened. On a very related note, I expect I’ll be writing a lot more now. Silver lining and all that. (Sidebar – thank you SO much to everyone who sent me an email – they meant the world to me, honestly, and made a terrible day much less terrible. [...]

On Endings.

November 16, 2011

Mama said share. He pulled me tightly to him, holding on as though we could physically fight the decision we had just made. “I’m so scared,” I managed to whimper, in between sobs. He squeezed tighter. “So am I. I don’t even remember what life is like without you.” I sobbed harder. “Aw, Rach.” He [...]

On Being Twenty Eight, AKA “Almost Thirty”

October 16, 2011

Mama said share. I’m twenty eight years old today. Ergo, I’m definitively no longer in my mid twenties. Sure, I’m still a “20 something”, but I know in the blink of an eye I’ll be thirty. It seems like the years pass faster and faster with each one. I’ve defined myself as a 20 something [...]

Awesome Things For You To See, Do, Share, Smell – Wait, Not Smell. Probably.

October 13, 2011

Mama said share. 1. What to care about this month: It’s October, which means it’s the Month of the Boobies! Or, more accurately, of Boobie Cancer Awareness. A lot of you probably already know my dear friend Stef of CityGirlBlogs (and if you’re not yet following her dating/sex/advocacy blog, um, you’re missing out). She’s a recent [...]

Atlantic City: Where Dried Up Hookers Go To Die.

October 11, 2011

Mama said share. This past Saturday, Ben and I journeyed to Atlantic City to see “The League” live. We drove up early in the day so we’d have some time to explore before the show. Now, I’ve never been to AC before, and my only points of reference are Boardwalk Empire and that one episode [...]
