Another weekend is coming to an end, dear readers, and I thought I’d wrap it all up with a blog. Overall it was a pretty mellow weekend. I had to work part of the day yesterday and for a couple of hours today, but other than that I enjoyed the 4th annual cookie [...]

Friends Don’t Let Friends Wear Boleros
This has been a fantastic weekend so far, dear readers, and I feel extremely content as I sit on the couch with my laptop, comfy in my favorite old college sweatshirt, Noodles on his new-favorite perch in the window looking out at the partly-sunny day. Friday night J. and I went to see American [...]

Dating in L.A.: a Recap
Good evening, dear readers. In yesterday’s post I mentioned that I’ve been dating in L.A. for five years. (Actually, it’s almost 6 years. Even though I first moved to Southern California in 1998, I went to college in the Inland Empire (good ol’ I.E.) and I didn’t do any dating in L.A. [...]

It’s My Job, And I’ll Whine if I Want To
After my panic attack at work a couple of weeks ago, I have still been incredibly busy, but somewhat more calm. (Perhaps it’s just that I’m too busy to do more than just try to keep my head above water? Hmm.) I am still considering all my life options, but since I [...]

A Heartwarming Halloween Tale
The date is October 31, 2001. The place is Beverly Hills, California. Kids go door to door collecting Halloween candy. All is right with the world.
One resident of the neighborhood opens the door to see a person dressed as a ghost. The ghost begins to reach under its costume and pull out an envelope. The [...]

“Nope, It’s Just Me and My Cat.”
It’s been a long Monday, but a good one. Still, I am happy to be home, in comfy clothes, Sex & the City on in the background (no, there’s no such thing as watching it too much), with Noodles on his new-favorite perch in front of the balcony, and blogging. Mmm.
Today I met [...]

That’s the thing about needs.
Sometimes when you get them met, you don’t need them anymore.
That’s one of my favorite Sex and the City quotes — from the episode where Carrie and Aidan have moved in together, she is feeling crowded and she tells him that she needs to shut the sheer curtain that separates the “bedroom” from the sitting [...]

Leaving Los Angeles
Today has been one of those glorious fall days in L.A. Sunny, warm, with a cool breeze, everything washed in a soft glow. I walked up to the corner coffee shop to get an iced chai, and walking back down my street I felt peaceful and calm….a feeling that has been increasingly rare [...]

Bloggity Bloggity
Apropos of nothing: is there a cuter TV couple than Jim and Pam on The Office? Yes, I know, how very 2 years ago. And yes, I know that in real life, John Krasinski is rumored to be somewhat of an ass. (Stop breaking my heart!) But I was just [...]

Beatles, Bonsai Trees and more Blogginess
Today in Los Angeles, dear readers, felt like the beginning of winter, with all its damp chilly fogginess. I wore my favorite chunky sweater to fend off the cold, and I confess that right about 3 pm (siesta time), I took advantage of having my own office, put my head down and took a [...]
