" So, in case you haven&amp;#039;t noticed, I&amp;#039;ve hit a bit of a dry spell. How dry, you may ask? So much so that the waxer who I (and a bunch of my friends) go to asked my friend if I had moved, since she hadn&amp;#039;t seen me in so long. So much so that I&amp;#039;ve been taking myself on dates (lecture to see Tony Kushner discuss Eugene O&amp;#039;Neill this weekend. And, seriously, if I could find a guy who not only would willingly go along to that, but who&amp;#039;d be EXCITED to go along to that, I&amp;#039;d be the happiest woman ever!) So much so that my VIBRATOR BLEW UP. Sort of. See, what happened is that it usually lives in one of my dresser drawers. I was rummaging in it the other day, looking for tights, and I heard a weird low-grinding noise. Turns out, it was the &amp;#039;brator, which had accidentally got turned on to its low position. And it was SUPER HOT to the touch. I turned it off and it smelled like something was burning, and the glue between the end of the vibrator and the twist-off battery thingie had totally burned through. So, yes, that&amp;#039;s out of commission. I guess it&amp;#039;s time to buy another one\u2014any favorites or suggestions? This was just the typical one, no bells and whistles or odd designs! Some other things I&amp;#039;ve noticed about my dry spell? I&amp;#039;ve developed an online shopping addiction that even the MAILMAN has noticed. For one thing, I&amp;#039;m still in the process of furnishing my apartment so that&amp;#039;s been the bulk of my purchases, and everything is stuff that I can afford to/have anticipated buying. For another, I&amp;#039;m of the &amp;quot;I love returning things!&amp;quot; school so I don&amp;#039;t mind buying something, then changing my mind and sending it back. But, still. I think online shopping is a direct result of me not getting any action (and also the extra cash each week from not going out) Do you have any suggestions for a dry spell? Also, I want to note I&amp;#039;m not feeling sorry for myself in any way\u2014I&amp;#039;m sort of enjoying being solo/not dating seriously. I&amp;#039;ve been taking A LOT of yoga classes, have had plenty of time to think/read/write, have been decorating my apartment EXACTLY the way I like it (lots of lilacs and deep reds, the aim is bohemian chic boudoir, and I&amp;#039;m combing thrift stores, chain stores, and the sidewalk to find furniture that I can fix up) and have just been, generally, grooving by myself for 2009.
