A few weeks back, I was thrilled to be a guest on the lovely August McLaughlin’s Girl Boner Radio. What does “girl boner” mean, you ask? Well, according to August it’s, “the recognition and embracement of female sexual pleasure.” I’m all for that! You can listen to our radio chat here, and make sure to tune … Continue reading
What a crazy whirlwind of a month October has been so far! Not only did my first book, Prude just come out, our little family decided to relocate to the countryside, AKA: THE MIDDLE OF FREAKING NOWHERE. That’s not actually a slag, btw; I deeply and profoundly love the sticks. Hence: so long city streets, … Continue reading
Apparently I needed another week of sleep. Well, sort of, I’ve been pretty darn busy, actually. In the meantime there’s been more depressing news for women over on Huffington Post. Last week I read a post about Erica Jong’s declaration that young women are over sex. And this week I read that women have become … Continue reading
Last night, over a late sushi dinner with hubby, I found myself seriously distracted from my spicy tuna handroll by the Miss USA pageant. It is a pet peeve of mine to be bombarded by flat screens in restaurants. But all the same, I had trouble ignoring the bikini clad Barbies with bouffant hair framing … Continue reading
My Suzy homemaker self has been in overdrive these last few days between preparing for a visit from the in-laws and making chicken soup for my sniffly husband. The weird part is that alternatively chopping carrots and scrubbing shower grout has actually been quite nice. Sometimes you really do need to just hunker down and … Continue reading
Over the weekend I read this Globe and Mail article: How DIY porn might save your relationship and thusly I’ve been reflecting on the ways that DIY helped the state of my union. By that, I mean both my relationship with porn and with my husband. As I’ve no doubt blogged about before, I used … Continue reading
My husband has suddenly developed a fixation with oral hygiene. And no, that’s not some kind of nasty sexual innuendo; it means simply that he’s unexpectedly entranced with teeth and gum health. The other day he purchased an electric toothbrush and water flosser on Amazon. And when they arrived on our doorstep an hour ago … Continue reading
Happy American Thanksgiving, all! It’s almost time for me to get baking. I’m making this Pumpkin Gingersnap Pie (courtesy of my pal, Op) again, which was a big hit at our Canadian Thanksgiving five minutes ago. As expats in LA, it seems like we just feast all fall. Or at least my love handles feel … Continue reading
It’s raining in LA this morning, which always makes me feel like someone (like maybe god) turned out the lights. Seriously, was it always this dark in Vancouver? No wonder I left. This Jezebel post: What Do You Want From Your Porn caught my eye this rainy morn. Check it out. There’s some interesting back … Continue reading
Yesterday I was captivated by this Salon headline: Men Who Clean House Are Happier… So are husbands with wives who put in similar hours at the office. Could equality be their secret? Catchy, right? But as Tracy Clark-Flory elucidates–it’s unclear whether this British survey reveals that folks who work similar hours and do equivalent housework … Continue reading
