  • The Reply-All Button

    Ugh. I somehow managed to get myself involved with a group of fiction writers late last year who are reply-all happy. Every time one of them has any success, no matter how minor (i.e., "I talked with a guy about publis…

  • Street Meat, 1; Meredith, 0

    There is a street meat cart parked at the end of my street on weekdays. This has been the cause of considerable angst for me. You see, on my side of the block, it's only apartment buildings, a Duane Reade, and a Starbu…

  • How Clean Is Your House?

    I don't know why I watch "How Clean Is Your House?" on BBC America, except as a sort of aversion therapy for my serious germaphobia. Have you ever seen the show? It's these two British housekeepers who travel around th…

  • The Imperfect Pancake

    I have always had a fascination with infomercials. For years, I was obsessed--literally, obsessed--with the Perfect Pancake. Remember that thing? It was supposed to make flipping pancakes virtually foolproof. When I …

  • Easy, Tiger

    Here's why I am beginning to hate Facebook, and all other so-called "social networking" websites: First, it's a time-sink. Once you're in, you're really in. Down the rabbit-hole of looking at what so-and-so looks like…

  • French Confection

    I have a passion for expensive French confections. Often, ones that can only be authentically obtained IN France, possibly some Francophone nation. For instance, my obsession with dragees. Some might call them "jordan…

  • One Word

    This is one of those things going around Facebook, and since I've already done one on Facebook, I thought I would do this here... The game is to answer the questions in just one word. 1. Where is your cell phone? Night…

  • Irrational Prejudices #2

    I am a big fan of knowing the weather. I'm almost like a retiree in my meticulous following of the weather. I knew a girl, once, who went to college to study meteorology, and this was a completely foreign concept to me…

  • Women in Combat

    Argh. I can't sleep. But it's not my usual kind of not sleeping--it's 6am, and it's not that I've been up all night, this time. Rather, it's that I went to bed at 9pm and woke up at 5:30. Jet lag is awesome. I am us…

  • Formal Shorts

    I am leaving on a jet-plane for Switzerland tomorrow. Then I am taking a train through the Alps to Austria. And then I am spending several glorious days skiing off-piste, and going bobsledding, and going to thermal spr…
