In an art house, hermetically sealed both from germs and the passage of time, this conversation happened: “Yo, did you see the thigh-gap on that chick last night?” “The what?” “The big space between her legs! It’s the must-have accessory of the year. All the girls want one.” “That’s weird.” “Yeah, I kind of thought …
I can still vividly remember her face — her dark hair curling around her face, her hands gesturing widely as she told me a very dramatic story. I nodded and grinned. Then I remember her big eyes filling with tears. Wait, what? I wiped the idiot smile off my face and wracked my brain for …
This is so so true for me. Colorado is a desert. A high plains desert, but a desert nonetheless. So why are we having this geography discussion (on a holiday, no less)? Not because I doubt your eremological skillz but because apparently I forgot where I live. It turns out deserts are known for being dry …
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to not tell you… I just, uh, just didn’t know what to say to you,” my friend said, tucking a soft blanket around her adorable chubby-cheeked infant. I couldn’t tell if she was trying to keep her warm or hide her from me. “But why would you think I wouldn’t …
Leave it to Jimmy Kimmel and late night TV to be the harbinger of the next big thing in dietary science. I mean, he is the guy famous for the “I ate all your Halloween candy” videos after all. So when I read a new study about gluten sensitivity (or lack thereof, as you shall …

NOTE: I had a prescheduled post about Luna for Sheba set for today, before any of this happened. (That post was written and scheduled a month ago as the third out of three posts I collaborated with Sheba on.) When she got injured this morning, I posted on social media about the accident and so …

I’m spending this weekend with some girlfriends, on an adventure trip! Today was white water rafting! (That’s me , front left, and my friend Beth playing line leader.
