Now we enter the annual month-long period in which a certain office demographic insists on loudly sharing his or her (but let’s be real here) opinions about college sports “brackets,” bullies disinterested parties into throwing money away on company-wide pools, and ultimately, after a brief period of halfhearted efforts at professionalism, just turns on the tv in the middle of the day to watch basketball. I recognize this is not a single-gender phenomenon, but did it happen at the teen magazine where I and like a zillion other ladies used to work/engage in collective passive aggressive cupcake eating competitions? No, no it did not.

“Stone Soup,” 1992, i.e., the year I landed the lead role in the school play but then had to share it — literally read my lines in unison — with the girl who lived across the street. But we can all admit I had the best costume, right?

Last week I went to Buenos Aires, where amid desperate efforts to remember places I frequented 9 years ago and attempts to put my finger on familiar but fleeting smells, I took a bunch of pictures of cats, graffiti, historic buildings, historic buildings covered in graffiti, breakfast food, homoerotic store front displays, and storefront displays featuring creepy baby dolls, of which Argentina apparently has no dearth. I also stood in front of my old apartment like a criminal, avoiding eye contact with anyone who looked like they might live there, and made Rob take a picture. Some things in Buenos Aires felt different than before, but the ubiquity of dog poop on the sidewalk felt exactly the same. It was fun.

it’s very important to choose art for your new home carefully and to avoid making rash, expensive decisions in delaware antique shops. so, i put a lot of thoughtful consideration into this portrait before pulling the trigger. also i got a 10 percent discount!

I feel like the wardrobe in this closet has radically changed since the series started. Probs a subtle illustration of the show’s evolution.

sort of offended citibank thinks i’m so gauche as to call out celeb sightings in like, an online banking security question? also i literally did not have an answer for a single one of these. seriously, just ask me when I got my period or something.

I always wanted a black eye, but it never occurred to me that my cat would be the one to give it to me. Currently looking into cat therapy, cat reform school, cat military academy. (JK, only the first.) Have also opened up new therapeutic pandora’s box re: obvious future parental ineptitude.

Either there is some awesome performative shit happening on my stoop or there is a really sentimental bum in the neighborhood who likes to leave his trash lying around. as an optimist, I am going with the former rather than getting all suspicious of the unkempt man who sits on my stoop eating enormous quantities of fresh berries every morning.

(unfortunately i started documenting this evidence after the book of nautical poetry and a steaming cup of coffee had already come and gone.)

I just received a debt collection notice for an $80 fee from an unspecified “police” matter which apparently took place in Evanston in 2003. Pretty sure I never got a ticket or was, you know, arrested during my time in Illinois, but what really kills me is the assumption by this debt collection agency that I will be getting a tax refund.
