Bitch-Sessions.comNew York, Los Angeles, and everything in between.The Seven Year Bitch- (Found July 15, 2008 ) As the seven year anniversary of my move to New York approaches, I find myself reflecting on how much the city, and I in it, has changed. It is said that life is a series of seven year cycles -- what we like to eat, our career paths, and who we are as people are supposed to change significantly every seven years or so. Even marriages and romantic relationships are challenged at the seven year mark (although I would argue that these days that happens a lot sooner.) When I moved to the city in...http://www.bitch-sessions.com/archives/2003/05/the_seven_year_bitch.html The English Lesson- (Found July 15, 2008 ) Last week I visited a friend in the Dominican Republic who is serving in the Peace Corps. After a treacherous week at work, the vacation was an opportunity to gain perspective on what little right I have to complain about my life. Stationed in Barahona, a seaside town in the southwest region of the country, my friend Dustin lives in a steamy apartment with no running water. From noon till midnight Merengue and Bachata, the dance music of the region, play at full volume from the colmado (a tiny..http://www.bitch-sessions.com/archives/2003/06/the_english_lesson.html Deja-Brew- (Found July 15, 2008 ) Wurd of the Day Deja Brew - The act of going to a bar for the first time, but upon arriving, realizing that you have been there before. Those who suffer from this syndrome begin the night teeming with anticipation of a new experience, which palpably deflates once they recognize the bar. Number of times this has happened to me this month: Three....http://www.bitch-sessions.com/archives/2003/06/dejabrew.html Mail Basher- (Found July 15, 2008 ) Wurd of the Day Mail Basher - Woman who forwards every email shes ever received that portrays men in a negative light. Because of her, her friends' inboxes are sullied with the likes of such missives: Butt Measurements A man and his wife were working in their garden one day and the man looks over at his wife and says: "Your butt is getting really big, I mean really big. I bet your butt is bigger than the barbecue." With that he proceeded to get a measuring tape and measure the grill and then..http://www.bitch-sessions.com/archives/2003/06/mail_basher.html A DMV Diary- (Found July 15, 2008 ) At 10:15 AM yesterday morning I arrived at the Department of Motor Vehicles on Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles. I had taken care of my registration and license on previous visits, and was only there yesterday to perform what I thought was the simple (and quick) task of "picking up my new plates." Turns out the task was as I had originally thought, quite simple. It was unfortunately about as far away from "quick" as one could ever imagine. "I'm here to pick up my new license plates," I told a..http://www.bitch-sessions.com/archives/2003/02/a_dmv_diary.html |
