Pirates!!
What is it about pirates that is so romantic? Because the reality is that they were dirty, villainous, rowdy bad guys. With rotten teeth and the occasional outbreak of scurvy. Who pillaged, plundered, raped and murdered their way through port after port. Not exactly the ideal career path. But I’m first to admit that I…

You Gotta Know…

I Need a Hero…
It isn’t the least bit fair for the average modern man out there. But for a girl raised on Star Wars, Disney and Gone with the Wind, who had a brother that introduced her to The X-Men, Power Rangers and The Green Lantern. A girl raised on pure whimsical imagination… of course I need a…

Not enough hours in the day!
Have you ever heard something like this… ” Oh, you like (insert show title here)? Then you’ll love (insert similar show title here).” Happens to me all the time. I like Lost, so I’ll love Once Upon a Time. I like Star Trek, so I’ll love Battlestar Galactica. I like Dr. Who, so I’ll love Sherlock! I…

Remember when I got rabies?
Ok, so tonight I’m sitting with my Bible study group at the Sony Building on Madison Ave. And there was this homeless woman who we started chatting with. Asking her if we could pray for her, finding out her story, etc. As she walks by me she grabs my shoulder like she’s gonna massage it…

Oops I did it again…
Last night the cast and crew were filming in Tudor City. And I know what you’re thinking… one time is enough. But let me tell you once is never enough. And freetime + information + available Whovian friends = inevitability. There was a huge crowd waiting around for Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill.…

Sometimes you just have to…
I’ve lived in this city for 5 years now. And one thing you learn is how to ignore celebrities. They’re just like us… They don’t like to be bothered… and up here sightings are a dime a dozen. So you learn to get over your small town excitement at the sight of the famed elite.…

Subway PDA: public menace or personal weight loss program?
Let me start by saying that I am joyously, happily single. And glad to be so. So just know, right off the bat, that Public Displays of Affection DO NOT illicit feelings of jealousy, envy or longing in me. But rather the intense feeling of my just eaten meal resurfacing in my throat. Seriously, I’m…

The 3rd Type
Alright… so there’s a third type. And I’d be derelict in my research duties if I didn’t mention them. This group I like to call the Cat-Callers, the Horn-Honkers, the kind of guy that thinks the simple act of me walking by in no more than a burlap sack warrants such comments as “Hey girl,…
