What You Can Learn From The Sims

Friday, January 30th, 2009

I admit it, I’m a Sims addict. They are fascinating creatures, and I think what captures me most is how accurately they mimic life. Granted, it doesn’t take an hour to prepare a sandwich and another hour to eat it, and doing so doesn’t really drain two hour’s worth of energy, but the developers have the aspirations and relationships down cold. Take me, for example. I so clearly have a knowledge aspiration. I don’t care that much about material things, and money isn’t all that important to me (although I’d like to not worry about it) but creative pursuits that further my knowledge and sharpen my wits are paramount. I’m pretty low on the cleaning meter but I have a few mechanical skill points because fixing things furthers my knowledge, and I’m maxxed out on the creativity scale.

Pretty Woman

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Aww, don’t we all love that movie? Beautiful cheap hooker who really, deep down, just wants to find a nice guy and settle down, and she does! And he’s rich! And he’s Richard Gere! What’s not to love? Could that ever happen in real life? Get real.

Love, Obsession…Craziness…

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

Sometimes love just goes too far. A good recent example is that astronaut arrested in Florida for driving from Texas to kill her obsession’s new girlfriend. Wearing a diaper to cut down on stops. Think about that for a minute. She had to sustain that level of crazy for nearly two days. At some point, wouldn’t you have thought “hey, maybe this is a bad idea”? Or even “Wow, dirty diapers are kind of unpleasant”…evidently, she did not. That, my friends is a finely tuned obsession, with a large soupcon of crazy thrown in for flavor.

Live To Fight Another Day

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Into every relationship, some rain must fall. We all fight (some of us more than others). How you fight can determine whether it will eventually end your relationship. There’s an art to a good argument. Just remember that you love (or like, or lust after, whatever) this person and you don’t want the relationship to end. Here’s what not to do during an argument:

What’s On Your Sex Score Card?

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

Sex is all up here for women [taps head]. You’ve heard that before, but do you know what it means? It’s definitely not the same for men, they can be in the middle of an argument about who’s going to clean up dog poop and get horny (seen it). For us women, every minute of the day counts towards the “mood.” So get our your score cards and start tallying up points for the big win.

Sawyer: What Would YOU Do To This LOST Bad Boy?

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Enigmatic TV show Lost delivers drama, mystery and intrigue, but a lot of the buzz centers on the romantic entanglements of Kate, Jack and Sawyer. Initially, she was drawn to Jack, who quickly emerged as the group leader. And why not? He’s moody, intelligent, great looking, and an overall take-charge kinda guy. What a catch! I’d totally do him. Kate seemed to have hit the jackpot. This is a guy we could really settle down with, even if he has the emotional range of a flounder and signs of some serious mental instability. Hey, who doesn’t come with baggage? He’s a doctor; mom would be so proud. But then when Kate plants a big sloppy wet kiss on him with her hair all sexy wild and her skimpy tank top plastered to her rockin’ body, he doesn’t seem to have any clue what to do with her. My guess is the writers were trying to create sexual tension, but just wound up leaving Jack looking terminally confused, and not in a good way. Now Sawyer, he’d have known what to do. He’d have thrown me…her – I meant her, I swear - right down in the mud and the weeds and had her clothes off in seconds.

Which brings us to the bad, bad boy of Lost, and the dilemma faced by nearly every woman alive (we really should know better). Sawyer is big, he’s surly, he’s scruffy, and sometimes he’s downright mean. He’s got a shady past, selfish tendencies, and no discernible future. And still we want to rip his clothes off with our teeth. The question is why him and not Jack? Is it because a dependable guy like Jack would probably protest about the cost of the shirt? “Wait, stop! what are you doing? This is a silk shirt, do you know how much this costs? I’ll take it off and fold it neatly and then we can resume lovemaking.” Any guy I can imagine saying “resume lovemaking” just can’t get me juiced up.

My personal theory is that it’s probably primal instinct dating back to the dawn of mankind, when survival depended (more…)

The Reasons Men Don’t Call – or – Why I Didn’t Call You, Susie

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

He's not calling you. Photo by Nicu Buculei (Flickr)Ahh Susie, I remember the first time I saw you. You were playing Cricket on the second dart board near the jukebox. You had a terrible throwing arm and only hit the board one out of three times on average. When you landed that black dart in the creepy old guy’s beer, I was hooked. You were wearing jeans and a low-cut black shirt. Not slutty low-cut, but tantalizing. I bought you a drink, and we talked for hours. You were smart interesting and funny. But it’s been 5 days since that night and I still haven’t called. And Susie, I’m not going to.
