“Just singing it today really brought back memories of me being, you know, six...”
– Something Christina Aguilera just said about the song “Ave Maria” on my television just now. Christina Aguilera has been performing “Ave Maria” at people’s major life events since the age of six. What. Just…what. Christina needs to record what she says for a day...

Hey, Team Internet!
There’s a lot of stuff going on on the interwebs that makes me want to punch someone. Mainly, it’s stuff about people hating other people, people not being aware they are not the only person on this planet, or people thinking they win at life because some guy that used to like them, but is now dating someone else, totally wishes he hadn’t missed his chance.

Nope. Shut it down, dude. →

19 Tips for Females in 2012…written by not a female.
Apart from a horrific overuse of commas and a 1996 Comedy Central special view of ladies, here are some highlights from this timely little piece.

If that Tosh.0 segment made you feel uncomfortable, here’s where you tell Comedy Central about why that is.
Watching/reading about this made me then go back and re-read my post from last year about the time I hit a man who touched me inappropriately on the subway. Here’s where you can read that story.
I told Comedy Central it’s not okay to be encouraging the violation of a...

Celebrate All the Things!
Today is National Grilled Cheese Day. It’s also Greek Orthodox Holy Thursday. This means tonight is going to consist of eating Grilled Cheese Sandwiches while dyeing eggs red followed by watching NBC Thursday Night comedies.
There are too many things to celebrate, but I am not complaining.

Why Must We Be Punished?
Height linked to breast cancer risk
Women’s height linked to ovarian cancer
Taller women are (very) slightly more likely to develop breast and/or ovarian cancer. The overall increase in risk factor is really nothing to be worried about, but damn BBC News, you know how to make me more anxious than the WebMD symptom checker.
As the data indicates correlation and not causation, it could...

I hope everybody rocks out extra loud tonight as a tribute.
Someone at work today said, “why did I do that” and all I could think about was this gem of a quote from Parks and Rec:
“I got that tunnel vision that girls get. I let my emotions get the best of me. I cared too much, I guess. I was thinking with my lady parts. I was walking and it felt icky. I thought there was gonna be chocolate. I don’t even remember! I’m wearing...
Just Found Out
I’m now too big to shop at Victoria’s Secret, which is just about the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard. I just had my yearly physical (hey corporate health insurance requirements) and I can assure you all that I am in the healthy weight range for my height. I’m not overweight, I don’t have a hormone imbalance, and my name isn’t Christina Hendricks. I’m...
Important Bride/Bridesmaid Emails
Me: Question: how tall am I allowed to be at your wedding?*
Bride: Amazon Warrior Princess Tall: yes.
Andre the Giant Tall: no
So really, if you find some super-high awesome shoes, go for it. If
you find some stilts… well, still go for it. Stilts are AWESOME.
*This is an important question. I am 5’10” in my bare feet and do not not how tall the groomsmen are. These are...
Spring is Here
Or at least, I think it is. In Los Angeles, a city known for its year-round temperate climate, one can never be quite sure.
The important thing is that it feels like spring to me. Yesterday I wandered the neighborhood streets with my man and the fresh, brisk air coupled with my robin’s egg blue dress led me to the conclusion that it is indeed spring.
This is a problem.
Spring makes me...
