Mmmm, Jew boys...
I think I learned about Jews when I was about 11. (I was raised an atheist; all I really knew was that going to church was lame but necessary on rare occasions.) From then until age 17 or so I was kind of obsessed with Jewish boys. Give me a ‘fro and a -stein and I was in heaven. (PS: No, I can date the Jew-love to much earlier. My dad’s business partner was a Zionist. He had a son...

No love for "Once" in Dublin
In my informal poll, not ONE person had seen “Once.” That is SO Irish. They have no support for their own, laugh at their models, rip on Colin Farrel, cringe at Bono (well, that I can understand).

3. I want my children to have dual Euro-US citizenship.
4. I can actually make a living as a freelance writer in Dublin. Writers, as artists, don’t pay taxes....

Now my eyes are decidedly chipkmunk-esque and I am due to go to my ex-boyfriend’s place for lunch any minute (he’s picking me up, I think because his ride is new and...

Smoking kills, but not if you're Donatella Versace
I read somewhere that Donatella Versace has her minions black out the giant “Smoking Kills” warning (in Italian) on all her packs of Marlboro Lights.
(On a personal note: I was doing so well!!! I quit nearly 6 months ago, but was still smoking on nights out maybe once a week or once every 2 weeks. I’ve been basically non-stop socializing since I got to Dublin on Wed and...
