It’s Halloween—so Happy Holidays!
Happy Halloween! I hope you are all getting more treats than tricks. I had a fantastic Halloween weekend, thanks to VAMPIRE BATS, the made for TV disaster movie about–well, vampire bats—starring Lucy Lawless. Awesome stuff. Except that while I was watching, I saw an ad for made-for-TV disaster movie that could be even better, and […]
KNIT AND CHAT!
I will admit it's hard to knit and chat at the same time…if you're cyber-chatting, that is. But that's what we've got planned for this Sunday at 2PM (Eastern standard time): a massive knit-and-chat with author of the Meg Cabot Book Club's October pick of the month CHICKS WITH STICKS. But don't worry…you don't need […]
ONE HOT READ
Just a quick post to let you know that Key West is FINE after Hurricane Wilma…bruised but not broken! I will post a longer entry about it after my broadband is back up (yes! I am posting this by dial up! That is how dedicated I am to keeping you informed on the minutest details […]
Wilma Readiness Report, Direct From Key West
Level of Allergens in the air due to Wilma:High (woke with eyelids so swollen, I look like a komodo dragon). Level of Reporters in town due to Wilma:High. They are all gathered outside the La Concha hotel, drinking Starbucks and saying things like, “Brian, some residents of Key West are not heeding orders to evacuate, […]
Henrietta and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Remember this book?If you don't, you need to run and get a copy, pronto. This is the best book to read when you're having “one of those days.” Which I happen to be. I am having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day—but it hasn't been as bad as Henrietta's. I mean, it's true […]
Stuff You Want to Know NOW
Wow. So it turns out author Marian Keyes already wrote an essay in her new book about how it's ok to be a feminist and wear lip gloss, and she called it “The F Word” (thanks to alert UK readers for the heads up on this) just like I did in my last blog entry. […]
The F Word
Oh my God, people. You can SO call yourself a feminist and still shave your legs and wear high heels and listen to Eminem and the Bloodhoung Gang. You can even read PLAYBOY and still be a feminist—I KNOW the girls are all scary thin and air-brushed, but where else are you going to find […]
Meg’s Out Box
*Dear Keira Knightley, Okay, so I'm really sorry I said all that mean stuff about you in my blog a few entries ago. I didn't know you were cool, okay? I DIDN'T KNOW. Then I read that article about you in last month's ELLE or whatever it was, and you said you're a feminist and […]
END OF THE WORLD
After the devastating news about Paris and Paris splitting up (why, God, why? If those two crazy kids can't make it together, can anyone?) then Jessica and Nick (are they breaking up or aren't they? Why won't Jessica just wear her wedding ring when she goes out? And is this all just a publicity stunt […]
Boyfriend Store
After clarifying in my last blog how to tell when your “That's it. I'm out” moment has occurred in a romantic relationship, I was inundated by emails containing the following lament: “But how can I break up with a boyfriend when I can't even get a boyfriend in the first place???” Girls, girls, girls. I […]
That’s It/I’m Out Part Deux
I did not have plans to elaborate further on the “That’s it/I’m out” moment in relationships mentioned in my last blog. However, the amount of mail I received on the subject indicates that it be re-addressed. Specifically, people want to me to define the exact moment when one should call it quits on the relationship, […]
