Ugh. I have to be up at 5 a.m. tomorrow so that I can go to the gym and then make it into the city by 8 a.m. so I can attend an Academy of Art University teaching conference.
With BART acting so slow and annoying lately (and considering I am at the end of the [...]

I hate it when my friends call my douche “outdated.” It makes me feel so uncool. I know I always try to keep in vogue when it comes to the latest technological and fashionable advances in a douche.
Is it me or were people more open about their douching back in the ’80s and ’90s?
That jingle [...]

If you haven’t seen this commercial, than you obviously haven’t been watching the Olympics…they have been playing it NON STOP throughout the telecast…
Really? Is that Shannon Miller from the illustrious Magnificent Seven from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics?

The other night after eating a garlic noodle/salt and pepper-infused dinner at PPQ, I was surrounded by my friends fiddling with their iPhones, Blackberries and all of that other techie cell phone jazz. I, on the other hand, was looking at my Nokia. It’s plain. It doesn’t have a camera and it dates back to [...]
Okay, so I have a huge zit on my chin - LUCKILY I have just enough facial hair to cover it up. I am really tempted to shave it just to see how disgusting my zit looks underneath it all, but I won’t.
It feels so gross. I keep on touching it. I know, I know, [...]
I’ve been smoking a lot more than normal as of late…and when I say smoking I mean tobacco.
I’ve been contemplating on kicking the habit. I mean, I stopped eating meat. I stopped drinking alcohol. I have a rigorous gym schedule that I adhere to no matter what, yet I can’t stop this one habit. [...]
Yay! Today is the one month anniversary of my official lay-off date from Bay Area News Group East Bay! It was month ago today that I got the ax from the newspaper company! AND! As an added bonus, this is the 201st post on the finer dandy! AND…today was the first day that I really [...]
I just got back from a yoga class with my sister and the instructor told me I have tight hips.
I didn’t know how to take that as she caressed my hips and then my back. I think she wanted a reason to touch me. Because I definitely wanted her to touch me…WHOO! YEAH! IT WAS [...]

Last night, I had a really profound conversation with my friend Marques about politics (via AIM). This is how it went down:

Me: YES
Me: it comes out this fall
Me: with thandie newton playing cunnilingus rice
Me: too soon
