Long Distance Dating
30 May 2007
“Heavy-boned boy meets ex ice-cream scooper.” Sound like a teen love story?
As it happens, it’s a budding romance between two thirty-somethings who are getting to know each other using instant messaging.

The Drama of Love
1 May 2007
Whenever I hear of teens falling in love, I use Romeo and Juliet as a point of reference. It helps me get over my cynicism.
I’m not sure why the story of the sixteenth century lovers who died to be together alleviates my belief that betrothals under the age of forty constitute a starter marriage. Perhaps their drama simply reminds me that people are capable of falling in love - at any age.

Date, Step Aside
5 March 2007
It seems the paparazzi have a way with words, not just cameras.
Apparently, in order for freelance photographers to snap shots of celebrities independent of their non-celebrity escorts, it is not uncommon for them to sing out,

Where’s the Integrity
11 December 2006
Welcome to the future where it’s easy to be in touch, and equally as easy to instantly disconnect from other.
Email, text messaging, it’s changed the way we communicate. In some instances, i.e. the delivery of bad news, technology has replaced the need for face-to-face conversations altogether.

No Apparent Perving
30 October 2006
I had dinner with the girlfriends last night. The discussion turned to one of the friend’s latest dates. Seems he has Marie Antoinette’s hubby’s trouble: shyness.
After a couple of dates, the fella in question still hasn’t engaged in any below-the-neck eyeballing activity. This has maddened the friend.

Fifth Wheel - With Feel
25 September 2006
Best friends, Isa and Greg, asked me to dinner on Saturday night. Another couple was invited too. Nikov was working, and so that meant I’d be the fifth wheel!
“I don’t want to be the fifth wheel.” I told Isa. “Being the with feel … Oh God, see!” I trilled. “Being the fifth frigging wheel is sooo fraught with feelings a spoonerism slips right out of my mouth!”

Birthday Gifts
26 June 2006
Nicole and Keith tied the knot this weekend in Sydney. And just as I portended, they got married within days of my birthday. How auspicious is that!
Maybe not auspicious at all, but then again, I did spot a small jewelry box over at Nikov’s house this past weekend. I know he knows my day is this Wednesday, and Bloggers, that’s June 28th. Birthday wishes are welcome!

Believe it or Not
12 June 2006
Nicole is getting married in the dark in Sydney at the end of this month.
Can you believe that news flash? Getting married in the dark so that the paparazzi can’t take any photos, I mean.
If you do, then you’re a bigger mug than me. Come on! Who would get married in the dark, particularly in gorgeous, sunny Sydney, Australia? That’s an oxymoron along the lines of a state funeral in a fun park.

Good Fortune
24 January 2006
Oh my god, oh my god, sound the horns, pop the champers … prepare to be green with envy, Bloggers!
I have an incredibly auspicious foretelling, freshly extracted from a gen-you-wine fortune cookie given deliberately to me by the owner/manager of a reputable Chinese restaurant.

Roll on V-day
19 January 2006
Just as one red-festooned celebration is over in this country, it’s the next!
I’ve barely paused from nattering on about (my fat cow) Chrissie, and now we’re peering down the calendar at February 14th!
