even players settle down
My friend Dan* is the kind of guy that you would never expect to be a player. He wears glasses and sensible shoes. He listens to bossa nova and plays the sax. He speaks in a monotone voice and never yells– even when he’s angry. He can spend hours tending to a pot of curried […]

my moon, my man
Crazy things happen during a full moon.Back in March, my friend Sally emailed me and asked if I was okay because I looked like I had lost my “spark”, my “joie de vivre”. I confessed that I was feeling a bit out of sorts because my ex boyfriend’s birthday was approaching and I was getting […]

frolicking about in our summer skin (and sweat)
This has been the summer of San Loco tacos, five dollar margaritas at Yuca, surreptitious kisses in dimly lit bars, barbecues and frosty glasses of wheat beer, dancing in teetering heels to Justin Timberlake, and saying lots of goodbyes. On Friday, I had my boss’s going away reception. At the end of the night, he […]

tiny vessel syndrome
Tiny vessel syndrome afflicts petite women between the ages of 21-30. Unlike its cousin the Napoleon complex, tiny vessel syndrome is specific only to short women who compensate for their diminuitive size by trying to outdrink their altitudinous friends. However, due to our Lilliputian size, this plan usually backfires. Tall people have an easier time […]

jinius goes to the gynecologist; hilarity does not ensue
Now I can add “visits to the gyno’s office” to the list of things I detest (along with rollercoasters, wet socks, airplanes, and black licorice).I went for a check up yesterday because I hadn’t been to the doctor in two years and my roommate told me that women our age our supposed to go every […]

lifestyles of the ghetto fabulous
My friends and I like to throw theme parties.
For my birthday party in October, we threw a “pan-asian” theme party at China One where everyone dressed in kimonos and other Asian inspired ensembles. It was just an excuse for me to live out my Memoirs of a Geisha fantasy and dress in a sexy kimono […]

tapas and timberlake
Wednesday night’s Justin Timberlake concert was probably the best night of my life. Okay, maybe I’m slightly exaggerating. Okay, maybe I’m not.
But the whole evening was memorable, from dinner to the random limo ride.
My girlfriends and I wanted to go out for some pre-concert drinks and small plates but couldn’t figure out any […]

thank god for friends in high places
When I found out that my deleted blogger url became a porn site, I sent a frantic email to a friend who just started working at Google and asked if she knew how I could get in touch with Blogger’s support team because I didn’t want my blog name to be associated with women who […]
