tried and true
most of my guy friends are dating two to three different women at the same time. i know one guy who is in grad school, seeing two girls, and also doing online dating. how does he have time for all these fillies? i barely have time to see my friends let alone date 3 guys.

for men, variety is the spice of life whereas for most women (okay, maybe just me) i can’t see more than one guy at a time. i think alot of it has to do with the way men and women view sexual compatibility. most men have a very easy time getting their jollies off and don’t really care if it’s with some chick they just met a bar or a girl they’ve known for years. women, on the other hand, enjoy sex more with someone they’ve developed chemistry with. we need someone who’s familiar with our lady parts so they know how to hit it and quit it. ha.

i suppose this is why men galavant around town with the ashley dupres of the world and i stay at home watching re-runs of LOST on the internet.

the poverty diet
i just paid my student loans and now i can’t eat for the rest of the month. yeah, i went to a liberal arts school and all i got was this lousy scurvy.

the poverty diet consists of walking to and from work because you’d rather splurge on beer than a metrocard. eating pbj sandwiches for lunch and rice and beans for dinner. it’s kinda like being a college student all over again. only you’re almost thirty.


i treat my body like a temple. the temple of doom.
i ran four miles after work yesterday and wanted to puke as soon as i finished. note to self: it is probably not a good idea to consume beer, nachos, margaritas, and mac and cheese the night before a run.

sex and the city
no, i haven’t seen the movie. i’ll wait until my roomie goes to hong kong and gets it bootleg. i don’t know why but i’m just not that excited to see it. sure i own season two and three on dvd and i cried during the show’s finale but maybe it’s because i’m older now and more pragmatic (ie jaded) or that i’ve seen every episode a gazillion times thanks to the re-runs on tbs, but the more i watch the show the more i cringe at the show’s message of faux empowerment.

i think the episode that made me start to feel that way is the one where samantha gets back at her boyfriend richard for sleeping with other women by having sex with some fat, balding reporter at a party.

is that how we’re supposed to empower ourselves? by sleeping with another man to get back at the one cheating on you?

don’t get me wrong, i still think the show was ribald and sassy for its time but i think it is a bit outdated for now. but whatevs. i’m still a sucker for a rom-com.

a new direction
anyway, i’ve been having major blogger’s block lately and i’ve decided that i’m still gonna write about the same shit (boys, booze, and LOST) but with an empowering angle (are sci-fi shows empowering?). i think sex and the city had good intentions with its pro-female message but they gave too much currency to hand bags, shoes, and random hook ups. sure, i love shoes and smoochies as the next girl but i think there are more things in life that will amplify your sense of self.

i just need to figure it out.
