My first cuppa.

Fresh Mint Tea


It's official. I've become a true Londoner. My first official "cuppa" thanks to the delicious Carmina Cafe. Where we went twice in one day. Listen, we were really excited about the tea.

What The What?

If you're not a fan of slightly hostile yet hopefully humorous rants, then I suggest you pass on today's entry... I just became aware of the recent article by Rex Reed in the NY Observer and it got me PISSED. For those of you who are in the dark like I was, here's a summary: In a critique of Melissa McCarthy's new movie Identity Thief, Reed calls her "tractor-size" and a "female hippo", amongst other glorious names. (You can read the article in all its glory  here ). First of all, Mr. Reed can just suck it. Second of all, I find it incredibly horrific to even include that in a film review. Where is the professionalism? If it's not this, then it's " Lena Dunham is too fat " or " Kelly Clarkson should lose some pounds ". Lena, Kelly, Adele, you name it. If they're not stick thin, they're called out for it. As someone who has had their fair share of body issues/sizes/resentments, I can say first hand it sucks to ...

Roommate Lovin

Moving to London means many things. New country. New lifestyle. New school. And new roommates. And not just any roommates * . Roommates # 21, 22, 23, and 24. Yes kids, I've had 24 ROOMMATES since 2005. And before you ask, it's not because I've had to move in order to keep them from killing me (hopefully). It's just been simple math: changed dorms/apts + moved cities + different jobs/internships  = 24! And there's more to come, so I thought I'd put it out there what kind of roommate I am (author's note- if you've been my living partner before, please feel free to add. But only the good stuff. Or the adorably annoying): 1) As previously mentioned , I hit my head a lot. So much so that one of my former lovely roommates felt the need to buy me a helmet for Christmas. You might be obligated to do the same. 2) I love peanut butter. More than most humans. If you were to take a blood sample from me, 90% of it would most likely come back peanut butter. (Espec...

Freelancer (Unemployed) Life

Image
IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS?! God, I'm sorry. I feel like I went out for cigarettes and then just left you guys for the traveling troubadour that I met at an open mic night. Truthfully, I didn't feel like I had anything to write about when I stopped traveling around Europe and having adorable fish out of water experiences. But weirdly, a lot of life still managed to happen here in the good ol' USA (I will not talk politics) and, as I am now currently writing this in a coffee shop, my transition into Basic Brooklyn Hipster is now complete. The biggest change has been in my "career". After having a job in a different field for two years, I am back in the TV world and am currently a freelancer...which is a fancy way of saying I'm unemployed a lot of the time. It's a temporary life, but it's one that has been filled with nuggets of self-awareness and eye-opening realizations. Here are 10 things I've discovered while freelancing/riding that unemploym...
