Lies I Ain’t Believing: Ray J’s “I Hit It First”
The cruel winter mistress has loosened her death grip on the DC region and allowed us all to thaw out for a minute. Rather than go outside this evening for a run, or go and get a much-needed pedicure, I’m sitting inside the house typing up this blog post. OK let’s be real: I’ll take…

Reality TV: Made in Chelsea is Better Than Dental Surgery
This morning, I’m at the dentist. Or, periodontist. Or whatever he’s called. Suffice it to say, I’m at a place where a man is going to shoot needles into my gums and then proceed to cut at those gums. I’m not happy about all this. Thanks to the excellently neglectful childhood dental care I received,…

‘Best Funeral Ever?’ More Like Best Idea for a Reality TV Show Ever
Listen, I know I owe all of you a real post. I’ve even started a post on our last stop in Spain (the alluring San Sebastian). But it’s not ready, and I’m super-important and really busy, and it’s the holidays, and there’s lots of baking, and entertaining, and partying, and fancy dressing going on, and…

They Don’t Call It Toons-a-Ween, That’s For Sure
Good thing I had all that Sandy-cation time off this week. It gave me time to work on a Halloween costume for Petunia. There were some strong contenders. My friend Taylor recommended this scuba cat, since my assistant seamstress XFE and I are into scuba diving. By the way, did you hear about this chic?…

Thanks for the Days Off, Sandy
As you all know, thanks to the amazingly overblown non-stop SuperStormActionTeam coverage, Hurricane Sandy blew through the Eastern seaboard and gave us all a couple of days off. Which is all well and good. I mean, I’m not one to turn down a few days off from work, but it did promote a sort of forced…

I’m Now Ready to Take the Bar Exam (That’s the Given at a Bar, Right?)
Well hellllllooo there! Sorry to neglect this little ol’blog here but work has been kicking my butt this week. This image, by the way, is from a yoga blog. That just cracks me up. Anyway, like I was saying, work has been mildly panic-inducing. For one thing, I attended two all-day summit/event/type thingies full of…

Hopefully, I Don’t Get Sued for This
I watch a lot of Sons of Anarchy, which means I’m an expert on this topic: I imagine that being in prison must be quite boring. Sure, there’s all that nice gym equipment to help you work on your fitness. But honestly, it’s prison. Other than the obvious protection angle (perhaps Opie should have hung…

Reality TV Time: Love It or List It
I just realized I forgot to tell you about my weekend. Don’t worry. This won’t take long. It was incredibly lazy. We hardly raised our prone bodies off our respective couches. And when we did, it was usually to get some grazing materials (ie: food) and then resume our positions on our couches. I couldn’t…

Freaky Friday: Bagel Heads, Ghosts, Attack Owls
It’s been a bit of an odd Friday around here. For example, I was trapped at a work-related event for a large portion of the afternoon and when I returned to my own floor at around 2:30, no one was around. It was actually pretty creepy. Just empty chairs in every office and cube. Even…

So, It’s Shark Week.
I can tell by the keyword searches that are bringing folks to thePoeLog that the worldwide Interwebs audience is breathless with anticipation to hear my thoughts on Shark Week. The keyword searches this week have consistently been shark related (well, except for a very odd and brief divergence into Kate Gosselin territory in which someone…
