A Personal Question

2009-12-08T11:34:00.003-05:00

I've been seeing a therapist in the Boston area, but since I'm moving to New York City soonish I need recommendations for a good therapist. I find the best kind of therapist are the ones who are reffed by friends, so that's why I'm turning to the internet. If you anyone knows of a good therapist in the NYC area live a comment (anonymous would be fine!).

Um, still a Democrat

2009-12-07T22:38:00.002-05:00

Since I never switched from being a Democrat to Independent. I will be voting in the Democrat primary, but my final vote will go to my State Representative Scott Brown. I really wish I could help more in the campaign.

Pot Meet Kettle

Wow. I almost have no words. NPR pressures its reporter, Mara Liasson, to stop appearing on the "biased" Fox network. Way to be all independent of government rhetoric NPR and hey it's not like you aren't lefty biased news organization, oh wait you are. Why does it matter to NPR what other networks their reporters report? Completely inappropriate:NPR’s focus on Liasson’s work as a commentator on

The Headline Says One Thing....

2009-12-04T09:43:00.002-05:00

the actual article says the exact opposite.Headline: Romney defends Huckabee's clemency decision.Romney's actual stance: As Governor, Romney said he put strict pardoning guidelines in place to avoid letting personal impressions fog his judgment. "My conclusion was if somebody has been convicted by a jury of their peers and they have been prosecuted and the police were able to get the evidence

"One of the most life affirming songs.” - Peter

2009-12-04T01:20:00.003-05:00

I adore this song so much. A friend gave me In the Aeroplane over the Sea (the album) a few years ago and it took me years to realize how gorgeous the songs are. The imagery and the music perfectly co-exist.The lyric I keep coming back to over and over to is “Can’t believe how strange it is to be anything at all”." It perfectly expresses my existential crisis, or if not crisis than wonderment at

Twins

2009-12-04T01:14:00.003-05:00

I'm not big into following the Olson twins, but I love this photo. It seems to perfectly encapsulate each girl's personality, the mischievous free spirit and the exasperated serious one.

A Moment of Actor Hate

2009-12-02T22:10:00.004-05:00

I really dislike Anne Hathaway - the mannerisms, the mousy do-gooder she plays in every frickin movie. And no I haven't seen Rachel Getting Married, but I might have got stuck watching Bride Wars the other night (seriously, weak plot development). The girl has the the depth of a thimble.

Dear everyone who has used the phrase "this is why they hate us":It’s YOU I hate. A) Who is “they”? Not America? Just the poor countries? Laos? B) Like you give a shit. I don’t see you selling off your 52” 1080p television and Xbox for money to send to Darfur or packing up your condo to go rough it some remote slum.

Sick of the Swiss

2009-12-02T16:26:00.003-05:00

Just because Switzerland has been in the news for banning new minarets, I thought I would post one of my favorite KITH skits. So catchy!(While I think the response to the real problem is completely wrong (just like the Europeans to stick their neck in the sand and then overact), it shows that non-assimilation of the Muslim population has finally reached a critical mass.)

Dear Hair,

2009-12-02T13:40:00.003-05:00

I hate you. So very, very much. At one point we were in love. Especially that awkward chubby phase I went through as a teenager. You were there for me when all other physical aspects had let me down. Strong, silky, and smooth you were my pride and joy. I know we had to part for sometime during the "chemo" episode but I always thought you would comeback to me, like an old friend. Instead you have

GOP has introduced the Geithner Penalty Waiver Act. Which is just pure awesome. Forgot to pay your taxes because of Turbo Tax? No problem (well kind of):Carter says the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution mandates equal penalties for similar offenses, and that the failure of the IRS to assess any penalties against Geithner demands similar penalties for all

Not Shopping (Alt. Titled: Boring Crap Petitedov Did)

2009-11-30T20:53:00.004-05:00

One of the things I didn't do this weekend, which I was very grateful for, was go shopping. Hell on Earth is going shopping on Black Friday (at least for me)! Instead I spent the day in a lazy haze with the guy in my life - we braved the windy and (almost) deserted streets to grab a burger at J.G. Melons, watched the fantastic, utterly charming, very funny, and appropriate for all ages - The

Quote of the Day

2009-11-30T20:51:00.001-05:00

It's one thing to relax the stigma on welfare in times of epic economic decline. It's another if the stigma doesn't return with the possibility of employment. - Mickey Kaus ripping on the New York Times for "stigmatizing the stigma" of the food stamps/welfare program.

Happy Thanksgiving!

2009-11-26T11:38:00.002-05:00

My favorite American holiday. It's very special to me, especially remembering our first Thanksgiving in this country and how each person we met that first year in our new home affected us and the utter feeling of thanks to those people.

Greeting Cards Anxiety

2009-11-19T19:39:00.006-05:00

I tend to dislike giving greeting cards. I want to write sincerely and having a cute little character, a silly joke, or overly-serious photo of a beautiful landscape just doesn't do it for me. I get anxious about how to really convey to the person that they mean a lot to me, that they are special, and I want them around for long time, hopefully while being 90% content & in good health.So even
