Since starting a job in the city two years ago, I’ve become a ferocious reader. I often read while I’m on the subway, easily able to get lost in whatever story I happen to dive into. I've mastered the art of subway standing (sometimes it feels like a weird form of surfing) and not hanging... Continue Reading →
Zaney to the Max
Are you pondering what I'm pondering? Well, sorry to disappoint, but the answer is "no," I don't have bologna in my slacks. But this past Friday, I was certainly zaney to the max! Connor got us tickets (Merry Christmas to me!) to see Animaniacs Live at Joe's Pub in the city and boy, did we have... Continue Reading →
What I Learned in my First Year of Bullet Journaling
Late last year, I was reading a lot about this new trend: bullet journaling. After a month or so of scouring Pinterest and the interwebs (yup, I'm an über-researcher), I decided to give it a try. I'm a crafty, creative individual who's been jotting notes down on scrap paper for way too long and wanted... Continue Reading →
No Mousing Around
I've had a few little birdies lately (you know who you are and thank you!) give me some much-needed encouragement to start writing again and jump back on the blogging train. Well, it worked—I am back! Though sometimes I still feel like this: Writing is like a muscle; you've got to consistently train and work hard... Continue Reading →
I am a shy person (perhaps contrary to popular belief). Always have been (hey, at least I can admit it, right?). Moonlighting at the House of Mouse for all those years forced me out of my shell; though my role required no talking, lots of miming, quick thinking, spontaneity, running around in a dog costume,...

Back in the Shoe
That was a late night (and pretty lame, I might add) attempt at a clever title, riffing on "back in the saddle"...Uber. Fail. In other news, I went for a run tonight for the first time in—checks watch—probably two months. It was a lovely fall evening in Princeton (it's currently a chilly 47 degrees) and...

2013: The Year to Live, Work, and Create…Simply
First of all, three things: 1. I know it's already January 5, but I needed time to ruminate 2. New Years resolutions aren't my MO (that phrase has such a stigma...not a fan) 3. I forgot what this one should be...oops I was reminiscing over what I wrote last year at this time (in case... Continue Reading →
Words of the Big Apple
New York City has a way with words. It's a city that can be charming and charismatic one minute and then tell you to fuck off the next. Every time I set foot in Manhattan, it never fails to tell me something new, bring a smile to my face, and make me appreciate just being... Continue Reading →
A Soup-er Election Night
My 2012 election day went a little something like this: November 6 8:24am — Wake up. Just living the cushy 10 to 6 life, like ya do. 9:42am — Cast my first vote as a New Jersey resident (gosh, that's weird to say). *avoided social media and news outlets as much as possible throughout the...
