Oh, my poor suffering laptop. In the five years I’ve owned it I’ve drown it in Oolong, infected it with viruses, used it, abused it and neglected it like a guy who followed me home from a bar. However, unlike that guy, I still need to use my laptop. When my monitor started to give ... Read More →

Before moving to New York, I never gave much thought about going to brunch. It was something reserved for holiday buffets and visiting parents. Not the boozy hot mess it is now.

If you’re into contemporary dance, and you’re in San Francisco, then you must know about ODC. They’ve been holding it down in SF since 1976 and are on the forefront of all things dancy…although I’m pretty sure “dancy” isn’t a technical term.

“How much should I spend on massages each month?” – DW

Wow that is a super specific question AND you don’t sound like a broke ass! Ok, I’ll go easy on you. It is a fantastic question and one that is similar to questions that many people ask themselves. If you have read any of my articles you will know by now that I can’t directly answer most questions like this. Well, I could just say “$100,” but I would be way short of my article length expectation.
