Alas, 2008 will go down as a rough patch in my life story. In the spirit of mining a silver lining, I’ve come to the following conclusion: life is capricious – if what I’m doing isn’t life affirming, then drop it like a bad habit.

Not long after I started dating my boyfriend, I had an inkling that something wasn't quite right. Aforementioned boyfriend was so nice and void of obvious, in-your-face flaws (and still is!) that I started to envision that he was leading some sort of secret double life. And where better to check for clues than the internet?

I admit it. There was a moment or two during the pre-election fervor when a shallow thought popped into my head: what will the Daily Show get off on once G. Dubya books it back to the Lone Star state? Because seriously, the G-Dub formerly known as Mr. President blossomed into a stellar satirical muse.

Yesterday was a momentous day in history for many reasons, but after watching the Obamas dazzle everyone at their inaugural ball, it made me think: yesterday marked a victory for America. For Democrats. For the world, even. But with Michelle Obama officially the First Lady, today is also a huge day for tall women everywhere! Finally, we have a tall, elegant, fashion-forward woman to look up...

It being January, we’ve all be forced to endure a glut of “lose that Xmas fat!” “shape up for the New Year!” “for God’s sake lose weight or no-one will love you!” magazine articles, online advice columns and so on.
These are boring, but understandable. After all, New Year does seem to be the time that people make these resolutions and undertake fitness challenges, and I’m not going to discourage anyone who wants to make a healthy improvement to their lives. I mean, I’m cutting...

As a woman, you probably cry on a fairly regular basis. Indeed, I imagine you just squeezed out a couple of salty ones between "probably" and "cry". I'm right, aren't I? Am I right? I'm right. It's fine, it's not your fault - evolution has made you that way.
Well, as a man, I am here to guide you in the ways of exhibiting your innate lachrymosity while not interfering with your ability to perform your other, more important duty: to look pretty.

Oh. My. God. Inauguration Day is around the corner, and I cannot convey how relieved and cautiously hopeful I feel after enduring eight years of Bush Traumatic Stress Syndrome (sorry Bushies). Martin Luther King Jr. Day falls on the eve of Obama’s inauguration – and the President-elect, who plans to volunteer with his family in the Washington D.C. area, will lead by example on January 19th, 2009.

Once you've been in the internet dating scene for a while, you'll probably start to notice that the vigorous rate at which you started dating eventually has to ease up. The multiple dates per week strategy — with the spontaneous two-dates-in-one-night thrown in there for good measure — cannot sustain itself forever.
