Short and Sweet and Salty [Fierce Foodie]

Apr 04, 2012 No Comments

I owe this week’s short and sweet fierce foodie to my older sister, who took me out for breakfast recently and rocked my blueberry bagel and plain cream cheese world with her sweet and salty discovery. She asked for a toasted everything bagel with honey walnut cream cheese: the perfect combination of oniony and cinnamony, sesame [...]

There’s That Condom! [Ask Dr. Miro: What You Didn’t Learn In Health Class]

Apr 03, 2012 2 Comments

Dear Dr. Miro, I had wild, drunken, “protected” sex with my non-monogamous partner. Two days later a condom fell out of me. I’m horrified and scared. We were so drunk that no one even noticed this mishap. Luckily I’m not in my fertile moment in my cycle so there’s no baby threat. BUT I’m concerned [...]

Driving Miss Amy [Tall Drink of Nerd]

Apr 02, 2012 3 Comments

To be perfectly honest, I was always a lousy driver. Less then a year after I got my license, I began my reign of terror. Side-swiping my Dad’s 1960ish green van, one of those behemoths that was made entirely out of Adamantium. After that followed a series of unfortunate events, the last happening just a [...]

The Optimist at the End of the Tunnel [Stay at Home Nerd]

Mar 30, 2012 1 Comment

I sat in a brown, pleather medical chair staring at a poster for chronic sinusitis when the doctor came in. He was nearing seventy with white hair and a build and complexion that suggested regular exercise on the golf course. He tipped my head back, had a peek up my nose and before I knew [...]

Mar 29, 2012 No Comments

OK, so, first, I’d like to apologize to the City of New York, to Rex Ryan, Mark Sanchez and Joe Namath. Most of all, I’d like to apologize to my grandfather. Why? Well, On March 12, 2012 I wrote “Fuck you Karma- Come and get me!” On March 23, 2012 the New York Jets got [...]

Bipolar Women: The Lovers, The Dreamers, and Me (and Catherine Zeta-Jones)[Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered]

Mar 28, 2012 6 Comments

Catherine Zeta-Jones and I are both actresses, musical theatre people, about 5.6, and at one time (5 years ago, for about 3 minutes, shoes off, no jewelry weighing me down) – we were both a size 6. Pretty much the biggest you can be in Hollywood. Oh, how that soothed my insecurities, that I could get down to a Catherine-Zeta Jones size.

Then, last year, I learned that Catherine Zeta-Jones and I also share another number: 2. As in Bipolar Type 2.

Mar 28, 2012 No Comments

If you’ve been watching The Walking Dead lately (and let’s be honest, who hasn’t?) you’ve no doubt seen the trailer for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. I had really high hopes for this game because it was the first time we’d revisited Raccoon City in over a decade. However, if you’ve been looking at the [...]

Sultan of Singapore [Piping Hot Nerd]

Mar 27, 2012 No Comments

Things like this do not happen to nerdy bagpipers, but then again it did, so I guess it does. I am here in Singapore on business. I am tired, just off the flight and standing in line to check in at my hotel. This woman whom I’ve never met hands me a guava juice and [...]

Dear Dr. Miro, My boyfriend smokes a lot of weed and we don’t use condoms. I have a drug test next week. Can I test positive for THC from him coming inside me? Sincerely, Naturally Paranoid Dear NP, If testing positive for THC from ejaculate intake was possible, there would more than likely be a [...]
