Costa Rica: Sloths, Sickness, Surfing (Part I)
February 10, 2019
In the morning I manically finished a writing packet, bags packed (my bag had been packed almost two weeks in advance) at the door, anxious with excitement for my afternoon flight to Costa Rica. This is on Monday, February 4th. My brother and travel buddy, Mitch, would already be there, hours before me. Thank goodness

The Gate
February 4, 2019
There were three things I had to adjust to when I moved from my childhood home with my parents out on Long Island to my home today, a cozy apartment in the most North West corner of Queens, New York. The first was the steam heat noise. Anyone who’s lived in an old building is

Fly Away (Oh Glory!)
January 26, 2019
I’ll spare you details of some ongoing urology problems and my apparently shitty kidneys that aren’t good at their stupid job (you have one job, kidneys, ONE JOB!). There I was. Pants pulled down to my ankles having a conversation with my new urologist, telling him all about my family’s history of being hospitalized for

The Death’s, Three
January 19, 2019
Of course, as a loose rule, they say comedy comes in 3’s. And 3 can be a damned number for someone with OCD tendencies. But in that case it has nothing to do with the 3 at all. Furthermore, I’ve long heard it said that death comes in 3’s. The notion freaked me out as

Make Me A Real Girl
January 12, 2019
A good friend of mine’s ex-boyfriend used to say this to her: “You’re not a real person until you’re 30 years old.” Of course, in our 20’s, we were respectfully insulted by such a blanket statement. Hadn’t we been fully functioning, on our own, adults? Hadn’t we done more than scrape our knees at the

The Pencil
January 5, 2019
In middle school, the school would host these “holiday fairs” before our big Christmas break. These fairs basically sold a bunch of crap that kids spent money buying their parents the worst gifts with money that their parents gave them. It’s kind of an insidious plan when you think about it. Kids want to buy

The First Blog of 2019
January 1, 2019
First off, I have been writing this blog weekly for over 5 years, and if you continue to read it, I thank you. I hope I make you laugh. And when I make you sad, I hope I make you think. If you’re not a family member or an obsessive old boyfriend, I’m still rather

I Can See A Better Time, When All Our Dreams Come True
December 22, 2018
It is literally the darkest time of the year. That Winter Solstice, the Pagan holiday, in which all our silly holidays are based. But make no mistake here, I’m not knocking something for being silly. In fact, I love things that are silly. Life shouldn’t be so serious all the time. Whether or not we

Irregular
December 17, 2018
When I was in my early 20’s I had decided to donate my eggs. Not for any altruistic reason. They pay you $8000 to $10,000 to do so. As a recently graduated college student with a drive and diligence to pursue a career as a writer and a comedian, I thought that a nice sum

The Last Minute Of The Fourth Quarter
December 14, 2018
Many people have had worse years. That’s one of the added layers of anyone who has depressive issues, that icing of guilt remembering that your life is actually pretty good, considering, and you still struggle mentally. But it was a turbulent year, often disappointing, lonely… let downs. You know, that thing we call life. Christmas
