It’s March, 2008 and there’s a guy sitting alone in Future Bakery & Café. I don’t know this yet, but this very guy will make me laugh thousands of times. He’ll sing songs using only the lyric “shabbadoo” and threaten to tickle me when I’m really tired and slightly grumpy. I’ll help him find a basement [...]

It’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow, and, for many couples, there’s added incentive to turn the heat up a notch in the bedroom.

Some fashionistas wouldn’t blink if I told them I was wearing fake glasses just for the look of it. But I’d feel like a right idiot wearing frames with window-grade glass in them. Or worse – no glass at all. What’s next on the catwalk, casts and slings? And yet there is a part of [...]
