Sarah Palin Debacle

UGH!
I just had a ridiculous, 30+ min convo with my Papi about the Bristol Palin scandal burning up the wires. It’s ridiculous! Needless to say, the veep candidate was NOT vetted. (Where is K. Rove when you need him?!) Talk about skeletons in the closet, or, um, the womb… 
No one can deny that the GOP [...]

This Election Isn’t About Me, It’s About…Hillary?”

Get off your knees Joe Scarborough. Barack Obama straight up stole the line – “This election isn’t about me, it’s about YOU” – in his keynote DNC speech from Hillary Clinton’s rhetorical arsenal. This is what she has been saying all freaking year, people! Verbatim. I just may vote for John McCain, especially if his [...]

Barak Obama + Hannah Montana = Love

OMG Larry David was on Hannah Montana.
Ya, ya, that was, like, ages ago, but let’s get serious. Barack has two little girls who must be OBSESSED with Mylie and her alter ego. SO?! He needs to get on the show. ASAP. Get those interns on it. It’s the best of both worlds.

Hawt drinks by other peeps

I had a martini two martinis last night, and I liked it. This must be a sign that I’m in the early stages of asset depreciation. Anyways. Peep the recipe here, then mosey on over to Geisha (61st b/w Park and Mad) to try one yourself. Zagat would approve!

Finally: Forever

Sattie, I agree with you in that this is the first book I have really related to.  However, unlike you, I am not “freaked out” by my relation to this book.  And, in this post I will explain why I related to this book, and why it does not bother me that I relate more [...]

Jaded?

I enjoyed reading this book and agree with the other ladies, but I am wondering what this book is saying about first love, and how younger (targeted) readers might perceive this message. I think Blume is very realistic in making Kath move on from her first love and find another boyfriend. Still, I wonder if [...]

Shake Your Money Maker?

So, I must admit, after reading Judy Blume’s Forever and after watching the classic 90s hit Little Giants, I’m feeling a little nostalgic.  

Something I can relate to!

I don’t know if my peers felt this/ found it uncomfortable, but I was kind of freaked out that I found myself able to relate more to seniors in highschool than the high-powered executive women of our previous novels.  There was a realism in Blume’s text, with true emotions that seemed to be otherwise lacking [...]

For Cesar Calva

While writing on this blog, I am often excited by its public nature. The internet is a miraculous thing, a forum where my thoughts can be cast out into the world, never knowing who they will stumble upon. But at the same time it is frightening, that one’s own opinions and writing can be evaluated [...]
