I’ve been in a bit of funk lately. Usually I can blame it on pms, but in the absence of that, I’m looking for something to assign this feeling of raw vulnerability to. I think part of it is this time of year. It’s more than just gloomy weather, or the anxiety that comes with […]
I wrote this post as a guest blog for Simone Grant of www.sex-lies-dating.com and got some interesting comments on her blog http://su.pr/21PncX from her followers. Love to hear what you guys think too, so please comment here! Yes, I’m going to go there. At the risk of sounding arrogant, I’m going to call myself out and […]
No, that’s not me cursing like a thirteen-year old boy whose friends stole his underwear. I’m referring to men and their relationships with their mothers, and how that relationship is usually a good indicator of how the guy will treat you in a relationship. But more so, it’s a good indicator of how he will […]
MONA LISA’S JEWISH MOTHER:‘After all the money your father and I spent on braces, this you call a smile?’ CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS’ JEWISH MOTHER:‘I don’t care what you’ve discovered, you didn’t call, you didn’t write…’ MICHELANGELO’S JEWISH MOTHER:‘A ceiling you paint? Not good enough for you the walls, like the other children? Do you know how […]
I am currently on a much needed vacation. I just arrived in London to visit with a close friend for the weekend, on my way to Israel for my cousin’s wedding. Vacations like these are still a novelty for me – where I don’t have a spouse who I’m obligated to plan or travel with […]
Mom left me a voicemail this morning and when I went to listen to it, I was with my co-workers, so I listened to the message like they would. Meaning, like people who don’t speak Hebrew. So the message sounded like this: Chhchhh chhhh rrrrrrr chh rrr..em…rr chchchch chhh COSTCO chchchhchh cccchhhhhh CLIPPINGS….cchhhchchchch chchhchchchchchchcccccchh rrrrr […]
When I moved into my new apartment a few months ago, I had no clue that I moved four doors down from an NYU dorm. Nor did I recognize the irony. I didn’t know how I’d feel on nights like tonight, when I had nothing to do, and was feeling lonely, and decided to take […]
Coincidentally, there was an interesting article in the NYT today, “Is Marriage Good for your Health?” Seems like I’m not the only one exhausting the topic of marriage and divorce! Between all of these ongoing studies, to the phenomonon of “Eat Pray Love” (can’t wait to blog about that when the movie comes […]
In just three days, I’ve accrued three more clueless crimes. I could say it is because I’m away from home and working long hours, which makes me more spacey than usual, but… really? 1) We are shooting on a stage on the Sony lot. I went to the bathroom several times yesterday. Before we left, […]
They drove in last night, bearing gifts: 1) A sponge-holder for my kitchen sink. 2) A faux-wrought iron garden table for my kitchen from Home Goods, that looks like it should be on a tenement balcony. Cougel: “So sweet of you Ema, but it doesn’t match the decor of the rest of my place.” Dad […]
