Thank you graciously for joining me for my first stab at blogging. Since I haven't exactly drilled down a topic or theme yet (see: subtitle), you're sure to be privy to a dirty hodge-podge of stories, rants, and swooning. Tons of swooning.
I'll likely start off with musings in the women's interest category (we write what we know! When I don't, I tend to offend people), but I'll also share thoughts and snippets about books, movies, concerts, and relevant magazine/newspaper articles. I will, inevitably, write about things North-Jerseyan, but probably more so about NYC, where I spend most of my life slaving (barely) for the textbook publishing industry.
I LOVE FOOD, COOKING, AND RESTAURANTS - AND I WILL WRITE ABOUT THEM. And I promise to include pictures and recipes!
Now: you might know that I cancelled my Facebook recently, all to start the blog. Strange/silly/non-
conformist, eh? Well, I tend to do strange things, and I thought spending too much time on Facebook was downright silly. Plus I felt like being non-conformist (albeit in a rather trivial way). I haven't written a thing in almost a year (can you tell?), and hell yes, I'm going to partially blame it on my attention to Facebook. Although I probably didn't qualify as an addict, I felt that I put too much life into it - posting too many unhealthy, misspelled exclamations on friends' walls, learning all-too personal details that I could never "un-know" (credit: Louis C.K.), and stalking people who I'm naturally not supposed to have (don't feel like having) contact with any longer. Plus, my dad is on it. Not the last straw, per se, but from the beginning a fundamental no-no.So, after five years (FIVE FUCKING YEARS!) I'm just letting it go, in hopes that this change will remedy my writer's block, which at this point has evolved from an annoying blockage to a life-threatening clot.
Peace-out loves.
Hey, this is your mother. Try not to use naughty words. They give you wrinkles. Don't forget, I'm reading this stuff.
