"What's the difference between MySpace and Facebook?"

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

The difference between MySpace and Facebook: MySpace: You are likely to encounter your 8th grade boyfriend whom you haven’t seen in 20 years, exchange a grand total of 2 messages which amount to “Hey, there!”, and all is well until his barely literate wife sends you hate mail insisting you stay away from her man.  [...]

Doin' time in the 'burbs…plus neurotic anti-racist parenting

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Check me out at a fun site I recently discovered, Burbia.com (“living life on the edge…on the patio”).  In my article, I write about why I moved to the suburbs many moons ago…and why I left.  Elsewhere on the Innanets, over at Anti-Racist Parenting, you can find me sharing a not-so-stellar parenting moment. Read…comment…spread the [...]

"Reds on Ice? It's Not Heresy"

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

I went out on a first (and last) date once with a cop.  It was an online thing, and based on his picture, I wasn’t all that enthused.  But I went…and then interacting with him face to face, I was even less enthused. It wasn’t just that I wasn’t attracted to him.  There was also [...]

Mail Call: The "WTF?" edition

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

I received an unsolicited book in the mail today. National Sunday Law is apparently a Seventh Day Adventist publication.

Don’t these folks know that organized religion all by its lonesome gets people’s panties all [...]

Were any "white girls" harmed during the making of this joke?

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

This is the 2nd year that they’ve done this (that I’m aware of). APT is actually my favorite dance spot in NYC–not-trendy, more of a house party feel than a club feel. But alas… So glad they clarified that I too could bring a white girl of my choice and reap the savings. For a [...]

Between thi$ and over $1,100 in car repair$ and new tire$ ye$terday (to pa$$ in$pection), that ma$$ive $ucking $ound you hear i$…well, you know.

It's a blog!

You know how babies aren’t exactly fun to look at when they are first born? Like, a-minute-old? Unless it’s your baby, in which case you declare her the most beautiful thing you ever laid eyes on, but honestly, when you look back at the birth photos when she’s about three-and-a-half-years-old, you marvel at what a [...]
