Woman, writer, editor, geek, redhead, new yorker, brooklynite, consummate culture consumer and critic. I'm T of T-Sides. You can also find me on Popdose and Bullz-Eye. And Twitter.

The thing with people is, they change and they don’t change. And you never know which it’s gonna be until it’s usually too late.

A man at the Inauguration for Barack Obama. Taken by me. (Click to see more.) I’ve been scanning pictures a lot lately. This is largely because it’s productive but doesn’t take much brain energy. I’m going through another in a series of hibernation phases this year. I think this may be the last. I’ve done so much over-thinking in the past year and a half (my whole life, really, but especially the last year and a half, and especially since mid-January), and my mind needs to relax a bit. I still think that film just has a special something. Oh, but I’ve been thinking about things like this a lot lately (the women and toughness part, I have no idea who the picture is of).

“ Thing is, alcoholic, selfish, self-destructive people are fun to slum with and learn how to hotwire motorcycles from or tell good mushrooms from bad. But at a certain point, you get ripped off and you get sick, and you realize you’re just another drunk and how the hell did you get here? These aren’t your friends, they’re just alcoholic selfish people.

I’m tired of being told I’m “nice.” It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing word, an insult disguised as a compliment. If you want to see my asshole side, just tell me. I’ll gladly show you.
