‘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...]

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...]

Perfect Mom

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t know I wanted to be a “Mommy." While my sister asked for cowboy hats and toy guns I only wanted to wear my mother’s high heels and play with dolls. I would not only be a mommy but I would be a perfect mommy. I would do all the right things thereby producing flawless children. I noted every error my own mother made over the years and vowed how I would approach that particular issue differently when it was my turn. I would always believe my … [Read more...]

5 Reasons why Valentine’s Day kicks ass

1. A great excuse to party (not like I should have to justify myself to you anyway) Back when I was a college student, filled with charming naivety and a youthful glow, V- Day meant shirking your responsibilities (if you consider class, work, exercise and general hygiene a responsibility), rolling up a couple Js, and getting down on some solid day drinking via a box of wine. And even though Valentine's Day falls on a Monday this year, I'm not going to let that stop me from gettin' up and … [Read more...]

Take it or leave it- Confessions of a senile man

Prostate Rape I’ve been silent for over a day about this. I know this isn’t necessarily a forum for such a horrid, sad topic. I don’t mean to bring you all down. But I feel that my soul has been crushed and I’ve been a victim of a brutal crime. It happened right in one of the so-called “nice neighborhoods” in town. I was the victim of someone that I considered a friend. A caring, decent woman that I trusted. A Physician’s Assistant at Williamstown Medical and I were in the … [Read more...]

Enrique Iglesias is f*cking you tonight.

Clear your weekend schedule, pick up a fresh razor, and slather on your finest Bath & Body Works scented lotion- because tonight Enrique Iglesias is fucking you, whether you want it or not. What in God's name was Enrique's manager thinking when he gave him the go-ahead to record this song (very matter-of-factly titled, "Tonight (I'm Fucking You)")? Furthermore, what type of songwriter would even think to write something like this? (I think we can safely assume that E.I. isn't coming up … [Read more...]

What New Years Eve means to me

I do not like New Years Eve. I would even go so far to say that it rivals Halloween for my "Least Enjoyed Holiday" award. "But why, Angela? New Years Eve is a time for new beginnings! A chance to start over!" No. New Years Eve is the single worst night of the year for anybody not in a relationship (way worse than Valentines Day, a holiday I actually enjoy). Not only is it 100x harder to make plans because all of your friends are just going to hang out with their boyfriends, but then you … [Read more...]

Facebook users spread holiday cheer, anti-semitism

It’s getting to be that time of year again.  You know, the time when I start to hate Facebook and contemplate having about five "friends." I have learned to ignore most of the political statements, requests to play games and answer questions about myself, or even find out who is searching for me (like I care). And now this week, thanks to Facebook, I have discovered the true spirit of Christmas through an old classmate's FB wall: Anti-semitism. With myself being a Jew this is kind … [Read more...]
