Here’s to New Year’s Eve plans that don’t wind up panning out. This year, I was presented a variety of options:
a 24-hour movie marathon
a night of homophobia fun with my brothers and some friends
dinner and partying at a gay bar with a bunch of gay friends
All were such tempting and juicy options. Oh, but to [...]

And, gradually, I’ve started to feel less like my head is stuck in a vice. And my body actually feels like it wants food, having previously rejected just about everything I introduced. And my energy level has risen so that I can write more than a few sentences at a time.
I’ve watched a plethora of [...]

Application to graduate school. Check. Acceptance to graduate school. Check. Going insane trying to get everything set up for graduate school. Check.
Today’s fun: now that Christmas is officially over, I feel compelled to get in touch with people in an effort to find a place to live. Round one and I’m down for the count. [...]

In the spirit of continuing to chronicle the holidays as I experience them this year, it’s time for the “Day After Christmas” installment, wherein I discover that if there’s any day that can be considered the WORST day to do any shopping, it would be precisely on this day every year: December 26.*
Whereas the intent [...]

A little reflection…
Historically speaking, I usually spend Christmas in the fine state of Louisiana. There, I visit the extended family that does celebrate the holiday. Which means that every non-Jewish family member would get gifts, and I would gorge myself on all the food at each house we’d visit. Was this a problem for me? [...]

I have two words to describe the state of affairs of every single parking lot in this city: fucking insane.
What do you expect, though, right? It’s that time of year: the time when procrastinators and bargain hunters alike take to the streets in search of the elusive “perfect gift.” Which, by the way, doesn’t exist [...]

I learned a few lessons this evening while in the presence of the familial unit. Some said lessons are broadly applicable to life, while others apply to this one area of my life.
Consuming alcohol in the presence of my folks is the best way to handle these people.
Trying to make light about something “gay” does [...]

I made the mistake of going to the mall tonight. A final effort to finish out the Secret Santa extravaganza for the year. I headed over there about quarter to 8, and for some stupid reason found myself wondering if all the stores would be closing soon. When I pulled into the parking lot, however, [...]

An exciting piece of electronic mail arrived in my inbox today. An offer the likes of which entails a difficult decision. I’m left overwhelmed, torn in more ways than I’d care to be. Amid the happiness, I feel sadness. Amid the anticipation, I feel dread. Amid the excitement, I feel fear. Amid the confidence, I [...]
