Womens Magazines: The Serpent of Eden?

I used to like to read Cosmo and Marie Claire and Better Homes&Gardens until I realized that they weren't reflective of my reality at all. According to Cosmo (and its ilk) life should be all about my body type, where I'm out on weekends at least 2xs a month and be having rip-roaring, toe-curling orgasms... Continue Reading →

Reruns

are fun! They are easy and uncomplicated. You watch them because you know there's fun, drama, tears, shock, eye-rolling moments all packed in. And because they are reruns, you never really mind pausing them, running errands in between or putting it off for another day. You know Rachel gets off the plane. You know Meredith...

Priorities

We have a Gopro mini camera. The offspring loves it because he can take it underwater. I love it because it helps me not lug the entire camera gear I tend to normally take. For a totally amateur photog I have quite a bit of gear; which we discover only while packing. We're vacationing in... Continue Reading →

Trivandrum Mornings…

Here for a spell. My kid wants to see crocodiles. Look into reptile retail so we can buy one and take it back home. In the meanwhile he had his first lobster...literally willing it to come flying out the kitchen doors. And then later wanted me to turn the crustacean over so he could see... Continue Reading →

The 80s&90s

Those were some fun decades...especially in the way movies were made. This last week I watched some movies I had DVRd and utterly enjoyed the blast of nostalgia! I started with Die Hard...a movie you can never go wrong with. Whether you're burping a baby, fighting with a spouse, feeling angst or anything else this... Continue Reading →

Ode To My Oddballs

My family is a bit kooky. And in that we're perfectly normal I suppose. Since I don't have a "fly-on-the-wall" access to my friends and neighbors' homes, am assuming that their kookiness can rival and often outdo mine. Those who are painfully normal, I don't know what to say...you are clearly the minority amongst us.... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: The Shallows

I know why this movie got good reviews: Pretty girl wearing bare minimum required to avoid censorship. Gorgeous locales and alluring waters. A creature that everyone loves to hate viz The Great White. The mysterious solitary seagull. No bizarre sharky behavior barring well...being too chomp-chomp-chomp! Eloquent wasn't it? But snark aside so many things are... Continue Reading →

Ode To A Shopping Mall

Today I have seen misery. I have seen faces full of despair, hopelessness and utter exhaustion. I have also seen people look defeated and rundown and resigned to the vagaries of life. I refer to the crowds outside the waiting rooms of the shopping malls. And specifically to the male of the species who have... Continue Reading →

Frankenstein and Kettle bells

Disclaimer: I have no verifiable knowledge that Frankenstein's Monster ever used kettle bells on those brawny arms of his. However, if he had, it would totally explain why he walked like he had an atomic wedgie going on 24/7! *  For the uninitiated am going to add a link here about what an atomic wedgie...
