Hi! You’ve reached my (beloved) former blog. Come find me & my current work at JessieRosen.com
So in a pretty bummer turn of events, I no longer know how to read. Words, yes. Sentences, for the most part. But full paragraphs, an article, a book – no way. This may seem surprising slash impossible because I am a writer. I deal in words all day every day, on purpose and for money. But I can’t read those either which proves this isn’t …
How familiar are you with the Korean Spa system/process/universe? It’s impossible to describe but here’s me trying in a piece I wrote about my first experience. The title is How The Naked Spa Changed My Clothed Life. Bold statement, and apparently easily reversed. Turns out body confidence fleets because I wrote the below post yesterday AM after my Wednesday night spa sesh. So, once more, here …
I wrote this yesterday AM but then my WordPress crashed so I figured God was punishing me but then I remembered that Trump is president so if there is a God and he/she is wasting time on my blog right now we’ve got bigger problems. [Photo source: the beautiful Aurelm.com] — I was at dinner last night when President Barak Obama addressed the nation for …
I don’t have a ton of experience with dogs but I’m still pretty sure that mine is a human. When I was young we had a family dog named Sugar. She was an Australian Shepherd/Red Bone Hound mix that my Dad got when he was in college. From what I remember she was always very dog-like. She spent time outside by herself doing dog things – …
Two things first: That title isn’t fair but thoughts on why some people of my parents’ generation aren’t particularly in love with LA LA LAND doesn’t roll off the tongue. This post is filled with LA LA LAND spoilers. Last week and I had a debate with my mom about whether LA LA LAND had a sad or happy ending. She said sad. I said happy. Then we did a few rounds …
Yesterday I heard someone say something that’s going to stay with me for a very long time. I was in the living room of my friend Suzee Dunne (who is also my dog’s mother-in-law, long story) recording a podcast for her site/brand/movement ACT LIKE A GIRL. The podcast co-host is a warm and hysterical comedian named Tracie Walker who was wearing a lace-up maybe body suit in …
I can’t stop thinking about this documentary Pray The Devil Back To Hell. I saw it in the Spring of 2008 when it premiered during the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival. I was working there at the time – in the sponsorship department – so I snuck in to see a 10am screening at one of our theaters in the East Village. Word on the street was that …
I can’t figure out if I want to buy a house or, if I do, what kind of house I want to buy. I think I mentioned that R and I are house hunting? Yeah, I did. So really this should be what kind of house I want us to buy but there’s a u in us so I’m allowed to work it out a little first, …
Somewhere around September I announced to myself that I was going to stop blogging in 2017. This marks the 10th year of 20-Nothings. 10 is a nice round number. 10 and people say, wow, 10 years of blogging. This blog has been an awesome outlet for my creativity, great launching point for my writing career and helpful way to establish and grow my brand. I find it …
