This is a rant, mainly because I can’t stand hypocritical people. There are those of us who are religious and those of us who aren’t. And let’s face it, there really aren’t any ‘tweeners. You either believe or you don’t….
Fashion Friday: Sex and the City Prequel
The powers that be are working on a prequel to Sex and the City. It’s supposed to follow Carrie Bradshaw as a teenager in high school. I think the same producers who do Gossip Girl and other such teeny-bopper shows…
San Francisco Ballet 2012 Opening Night Gala
We went to the SF Ballet’s gala last night which was splendiferous. The people-watching was like no other. Or at least for me since I don’t often mingle with high society. Ball gowns, tuxes, bow ties, and glitter. So fun…
Botox Bubbles
I’ve been getting botox under my armpits for years now. When I first started going, I got the injections every six months like clock work. Recently, I haven’t had to go so often. I went 10 months this time, no…
Book Review: The Imperfectionists
I promise I’ll be back into living-mode versus work-mode starting tomorrow. It’s been a helluva two weeks and I’m exhausted. There are a couple bright spots to speak of during this dark time. One of which, fitting for me, is…

Counting the Days until Friday January 20th
I have nothing to write about because I’ve been in a bad mood. I worked last weekend, I’ll work again this weekend, and I’m working Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. What fun eh? I’ve come to realize how much I…
Fashion Friday: Going Offline
I’ve waxed on and on about how I’m an online shopping fiend. But over the holidays I started to get a little nostalgic strolling around Union Square passing by Williams Sonoma, Nike, Neiman Marcus. I thought, goodness, what would I…
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I was listening to Steve Jobs’s Stanfurd commencement address on my way home from work yesterday. It made me glum because he talked about doing what you love. If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in…
Book Review: A Visit from the Goon Squad
I finished reading Jennifer Egan’s Pulitzer-prize-winning A Visit from the Goon Squad which was a book club pick. This book is splendiferous. That’s my new word for 2012. Splendiferous which comes from the Latin splendor and ferre which means to…
