It ain’t easy for a playa’ – Single & the city edition #3

It's been over six months since my very public foray into online dating.---- As much as I'd like to report that it was a wildly successful endeavor, it seems that with online dating sites- as in life- you only get what you give, and waiting for your future boyfriend to message you while you put little to no effort in gets you basically nowhere. ---- That's not to say I didn't have any success. I actually hung out with one guy a couple times, but he stopped texting me when I didn't jump … [Read more...]

The most important class they don’t teach you in school

Last week, the company I work for held an annual meeting to discuss our health insurance policies. After half-listening to the rep from the insurance company, I scanned the paperwork outlining the coverage and tossed it to the side of my desk. "It's all Greek to me!" I announced to my coworkers, most of whom are older than me, who looked at me with a unique mixture of sympathy and disgust. ------- The truth is, the only thing that I understand about my health insurance is that I have it, and … [Read more...]

Happy holidays, you bastard

What could be better on Christmas than the gift of a brand-spankin' new Buntology.com, along with a brand-spankin' new video? Nothing! … [Read more...]

Fear & loathing on a Megabus

It was already getting dark out when I boarded the Megabus, leaving the comfort of my parents' home in the Berkshires and stepping into the harsh reality that is the Albany to NYC bus route. … [Read more...]

Angie vacations in a onesie

I recently took a much-needed vacation. Despite my frequent cracks about sitting on my couch alone, crying, watching Food Network, eating, smoking pot, etc., I'm actually actually a pretty busy person, so I planned on relaxing as much as possible during my 10 days off. People asked me where I was going - "Somewhere tropical?" "Vegas?" "The beach? You could really use some color." But where I was going was far more wild and exotic than an island getaway. I was going back to North Adams, … [Read more...]

‘I’ve never seen this much dancing in the presence of so many eggs…’

...A Cautionary Tale About Brunch by Angela & Colin COLIN: You know my feelings on brunch. Particularly, brunch on a Sunday. I hate to be the designated driver of the Sunday Funday set, but boys (and bois) and girls (and grrrls), let’s be realistic. Do you really want to wake up at 8:30 p.m. sweaty and cotton-mouthed, with home fries in your hair, wondering where your phone is and why your roommate is hanging half out of the bathroom, clutching a crumbly tube of Ritz crackers to … [Read more...]

The Unemployment Diary – part 6 – What is time, anyway?

Friday, July Something Well dear reader, it has finally happened. After being unemployed since March 3, I have finally snapped my cap, gone ‘round the bend, bought a ticket for the Up With People Concert, and begun wearing traffic cones on my head as cutting-edge fashion. What I mean to say is that I’ve caught the disease reserved for the elderly, the insane and individuals without access to a Gregorian Calendar. I no longer can tell you what day or date it is. While filling out … [Read more...]

The Unemployment Diary – Part 5 – First you say it, then you do it.

It was waiting downstairs. As you probably have learned from hard-won experience, dear reader, the things that blindside you and alter the course of your life (and not in a good way), the horrific things, don’t come accompanied by a dramatic swell of orchestral music and terse lines of movie script. There aren’t any vampires coming in through the windows at 1 a.m. No, the horrors pop up unheralded on a sunny, ordinary Wednesday morning out of a clear blue sky. I actually felt good … [Read more...]

I wanna sext you up.

I'm sure by now everybody has heard about the big Anthony Weiner sexting scandal. You know, the one where the New York democratic rep. sent sexy-time pics and messages to a plethora of young female fans over Twitter and Facebook? The messages, some of which included Weiner shirtless or with "bulging-underpants," were leaked earlier this month to a shocked and appalled country, and now the (married) politician is doing some serious damage control. Despite the fact that only a … [Read more...]
