WatchWe all know Amy Poehler as the brains (and rhymes) behind the infamous Sarah Palin rap on SNL.
We loved her for the way she so willingly rapped in Sarah’s defense and (embarrassment).
But, while Amy is on SNL mocking and mimicking popular culture, she’s also endorsing Barbie dolls.
Seriously?!
That’s what I said. It appears that Amy is advertising Barbie dolls with their...

Inspiration and Toilet Paper
The other day, I stopped by the ladies’ room in between classes like always, and found half of the stalls unusable.
Well, all toilets are the same, so I went into a different stall. However, the markings on either side of me caught my attention.
Of course graffiti on a bathroom wall is nothing new, but instead of the humdrum “I love Joe Schmo” and “Jane Doe is a skank,” these writings were...

My husband, two teenage boys, and I enjoy a sit-down dinner together every night. We gather around the kitchen table, enjoy good food, discuss our day, debate current events, and there’s always lots of laughter. Then together we clean the kitchen. This is usually followed by a family game of scrabble, charades, or more quality conversation and laughter. The subject of turning on the TV never...

Around 2AM at 7-Eleven a few Saturdays ago, I was waiting in line to purchase a delicious and tasty Boston cream donut. In front of me stood a girl with a familiar face, but I did not immediately recognize her so I continued to wait in line, munching. Until she turned around, looked at me with blood-shot eyes and spoke with a mouth that seemed to limp with every word, “HEY! You’re...

obsequies \OB-sih-kweez, noun:
funeral rites or ceremonies
Sometimes, if I really like someone, or really hate them, I prepare the words I’ll say during their obsequies. But most of the time, I just write my own.
Where do all the dreamers go? Lifetime Television,...
Ah, what’s in a sitcom? When you live without cable for three years, watching the crappiest, most questionable television imaginable is no longer a punishment. Oh no, it is a privilege. I can’t even count how many times I sat on my parents’ couch during spring break (yeah, I was that lame kid) and Christmas…er, winter break watching everything from soap operas to game shows to bad chick flicks in...
What I learned from Sarah Palin this election...
It seems like just yesterday that I was cringing at Sarah Palin’s disastrous interview with Katie Couric. I watched her stumble through a question I had once answered on a high school civic exams years ago: Name a Supreme Court ruling you don’t agree with? I gaffawed at her failure to answer this question, wondering how a woman who was running for the second highest office in the United States,...

People making out on the train. People throwing up one thrain. Throw up on the tracks, rats on the tracks, flying cockroaches in the stairwells.
Halloween costumes on the train. Screaming hobos on the train. Dancing children on the train. Dancing acrobatic artists on the train. God on the train?
Everything on the train!
