Day Three of the Strike

Too exhausted to blog in a manner deemed sufficient for my readership. Must crawl into bed and lie there with tongue sticking out to signify exhaustion. Full body pain.

Day 2 of the Strike

Where do I start? I guess from the beginning. I crawled out of bed to find out that even though school started two hours later, I only had “an hour grace period” to be at work. Good thing I left home at 9:19 and I had to be at work before 10:19 to make the… Continue reading Day 2 of the Strike

40-Year-Old Virgin

Once you get past the gratituous cursing, it’s actually a romantic comedy about a guy that waits for love before, well, you know. Sniffles all around. Sob. Sob. Tissues, please.

Must Love Dogs

It’s kind of sad when you go to Blockbuster and realize you’ve pretty much seen everything except for those B movies that you were too ashamed and unwilling to pay for in theaters even with 5.50 tickets. Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly rated Must Love Dogs a C- so I overlooked it last summer. LIARS! LIARS! The… Continue reading Must Love Dogs

The Strike Movie Fest

My sister is about to go out and pick up Serenity, 40-year-old virgin and Ice Princess. What…a little sci-fi, a little gross humor and um, princesses? 🙂 Can there please be a strike when I’m near Loews Lincoln Square because they have all the better movies?! The only thing playing up here is King Kong.

The Jew?

So, my sister shows up to my school today to pick up my ATM card because of course, I woke up late and had to take it with me to buy lunch. Anyway, my sister goes to the security desk downstairs and says, “I’m here to see my sister.” He asks, “What’s her name?” She… Continue reading The Jew?

How’s your Christmas shopping?

I sat in the Old Navy dressing room waiting for Devora to show me her new sweater and the clerk looked at my sad little face and said, “You okay?” “Sure.” “Your Christmas shopping going okay?” Pause. “Sure.” I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t have the energy to explain that I do not… Continue reading How’s your Christmas shopping?
