Last night, I posted this…
…meaning, I had a creepy guy sitting next to me.

Is Pessimism Tuesday Becoming a Thing?
June 18, 2013 by 7 Comments
I have to admit, I’m a pretty cynical person. Not cynical for a New Yorker, but still a New Yorker.
Mondays, I hold it together for you guys. I am forced to, by having committed to Project Optimism and having gotten positive feedback from you.
But Tuesday, it’s like I breathe a giant sigh of relief. Deep breath, exhale. Now I can tell you what I’m really thinking.
Project Optimism: Things Could Be Worse
June 17, 2013 by 5 Comments
“Things could be worse.” It seems to me that this is a cynical way of expressing an optimistic thought. I guess the better way to say it would be, “Count your blessings.”
Be the Star of Your Own Show (In Life)

It hits me once in a while. When I overhear a bit of someone else’s conversation and her life sounds more interesting than mine. When a friend tells me about something cool that she’s done since I’ve seen her, involving people I don’t even know. Or, in a different way, when a self-absorbed friend takes something random and makes it all about her.
Full Disclosure: Why My Hair Smells Like Vinegar
June 13, 2013 by 10 Comments
Full Disclosure is a series in which I admit to things that I shouldn’t be ashamed of, but am anyway.
Full disclosure: I have a dry scalp. This is really the embarrassing part of this post. I shouldn’t be ashamed but there’s something about even mentioning the scalp that’s gross. Anyway, that’s not really what the story is about.
For years I have lived in secret shame until one fateful internet search led me to some hippie message board, which recommended an ACV rinse.
ACV? Ok… Google… Either a hot water boiler company or apple cider vinegar. Probably the latter. How does one rinse her hair with a food product?
Big City Gal on a Small Town Budget

…I just wanted a title that sounded like a fashion magazine article, because that’s pretty much what I find when I try to research budgeting tips.
Side note: there are no new tips. Coupons. Bring your lunch. Don’t take cabs. Stuff I already know but don’t want to do.
You Haven’t Lived Until You’ve Seen a Man In a Monkey Costume Strip out of His Tutu
June 11, 2013 by 9 Comments
Guess what? You haven’t lived. How would I know?
Because you haven’t seen a fully grown man dressed up as a monkey in a yellow tutu performing ballet on pointe before stripping down to a literal banana hammock.
there was a lot of banana-based humor
Project Optimism: My Friend, the YouTube Star

Feedburner/email readers, click over here now. There’s gonna be some videos.
Ok, so it’s 9:48 PM and I’m sitting down to write this post. Better late than never? I guess I was a little too busy for optimism today.
Luckily, there’s a cheat. In the form of stealing.
Improv Rejuvenation
June 7, 2013 by 6 Comments
My god, it’s been a rough week. Can you tell, lovers and friends, when I’m really down? I try to keep my blog mostly upbeat, but I think you can tell. At the very least, Tuesday’s post was a downer.
I don’t know if it’s just my birthday or what, but I’ve been kind of depressed this week. I even gave up drinking for fear that it would make me sadder. *Including* passing up a margarita yesterday, which was a first for me. Mmmm margaritas.
I mean….

But then, after Amanda and I met over burritos and lemonade to plan our comedy empire, we went to improv practice group.
That Time I Was an Archaeologist

Yesterday, I casually mentioned the summer I spent digging a hole. Here’s the deal.
stalk me, maybe?
