How to reach me

As we were walking into Bobwhite Lunch and Supper Counter, Albert and I noticed a beer store next door. We thought nothing of it at the time (after all, there are beer stores all over the city), but when we finished supper, we noticed there were people inside. It was a little late to be…

Labor Day came at me fast this year. I didn’t realize until Monday that we had already reached our four day weekend. I’m not complaining because I could certainly use the time off, but it does make me a bit sad to realize that my summer this year was dreadfully short. A couple weeks ago…

The menu is small at Bobwhite Lunch and Supper Counter. They’re pretty much telling you “get the fried chicken, dummy!…but in case you’re a vegetarian we got catfish, too.” So that’s what Albert and I did. We both ordered the fried chicken platter (only $11.50), which comes with three pieces of chicken, a biscuit, and…

A few years ago, the fancy pants John Barrett Salon began offering braiding and ponytail services. I always thought it would be a great way to do something different before a formal event and a great way to make something like a simple LBD stand out and command attention. The problem was I didn’t have…

I try my best not to curse but appreciate this chart depicting the evolution of swear words. A group of college guys is creating a nail polish that will change colors when it comes in contact with a drink that’s been drugged with Rohypnol or GHB. Though I’ve been lucky enough not to have been…

If you ever want to read a classic but don’t want to devote all the time and brain power needed to digest a stuffy and old novel, I recommend a play. “Cyrano de Bergerac” was my choice when I found it in the discount bin at The Strand for $0.48 ($0.52 with tax – big…

Somehow every “calm” event this weekend turned into an aggressive boozing activity. Happy hour and date night on Friday and Saturday left me begging for more sleep the next morning and brunch on Sunday escalated into me passing out at 8 PM. I’m not sure why I decided to act 19 instead of 29 but…

In all the times I had been to Rathbones, it was only ever for drinks. I actually always wondered who would possibly ever eat there – the food can’t be that good. This is a place where softball teams gather after a game and fans go to watch sports on the many tvs. It’s neighborhoody,…

I just turned 29 in June and it felt a little weird. I have no ill feelings about getting older, but 29 just sounds so close to 30 which sounds so much more adult. By the time my Mom was 29 she was popping out me, child number two. What have I accomplished?! Since lists…
