• Checking in with the BlogALog: The Dating Equivalent of Narnia?

  What do you like better about the BlogALog: the fact that you can read the intimate details of other people’s dating adventures, or the fact that you can rate said adventures? This week y’all are loving some Charlotte_Web, and she's loving ’em young. Calm down. Not that young. This young: I’m not out wrangling bright-eyed boys with the ink still fresh on their diplomas; most of the men I date hover in the 30-33 range. There’s something liberating about being involved in an utterly implausible “relationship;” all of the serious concerns are off the table, and you can focus on the fun stuff. Of course, this only works if both parties acknowledge the implausibility; if one person is just having a good time while the other is poking in closets looking for the dating equivalent of Narnia, there’s gonna be trouble. Also, SJ1000 shares her audition tape for MTV, entitled “Pollution and Asthma: A Bronx Tale.” Funkybrownchick blogs about self-esteem and the power of underwear; this ain’t no Vicky’s Secret ad. And Super_C remembers a New York trip, and love affair, gone awry. At least he had a good time at the Strand. And at least we can read about it now. Let your inner voyeur explore, all this and more on the BlogALog.

• Checking in with the Blog-a-Log, New Year’s Edition

  Charlotte_Web hasn’t written a 2008 entry, but we’re interested to see what shenanigan’s her New Year’s Eve included. On New Year’s Eve she wondered “if I would/could ever be bold/dumb enough to write about having sex, as in actually HAVING it, not the mere fact of it-having-been-had.” Here’s hoping she does… SJ1000 discovers her true bra size, is going to exercise more in the coming year, and ponders looking for friends (the regular, no sex kind) in Nerve Personals. CyberVixen tells us that she’s leaving the blog-a-log. Bye Casey, we’ll miss you! Her last entry includes a list of all the guys she’s dated during her stay on Nerve, including “The Good Doctor, who solved the mysteries of my vagina and dumped me.” FunkyBrownChick promises to post pictures of her New Year’s festivities later today. We hope that they, like her new year’s wishes, are filled with “’nice cocktails and beautiful men.” Posted Jan 02 2008, 05:15 PM by Sarah with | with no comments Filed under: SJ1000, blog-a-log, Charlotte_Web, Funky Brown Chick, CyberVixen

• In Other Blogs: Catching Up on the Weekend Gossip and Worrying About Bikinis

  We begin with blog-a-logger FunkyBrownChick, who has a word or two on the faux pas of interracial dating and the scandalous details of her dominatrix sexcapades at a Manhattan watering hole. Then it’s off to a Houston bachelor pad with Rose and Olive (and dual showerheads) where you can kick off your skivvies and break out the ole camera. Since it’s the holiday season you can whittle away the work week by daydreaming of things you don’t need but will get anyway.  Here’s one!   Scanner informs us that iPods mean nothing in Richmond Hill, Queens where kids are pimping their BMX's with 5,000 watt stereos.  Training wheels not included. In movie news, Jennifer Love Hewitt defends her “fatty” photos with a fervent statement on behalf of us un-waiflike women. “To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini – put it on and stay strong." Thanks, J. Love.  Speaking of boobs, this weekend saw the release of some pretty pictures from Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay featuring unicorns and Neil Patrick Harris. And last but not least, Screengrab gives us some old-school entertainment with a Jessica Yu documentary that relives everyone’s favorite cheese-bus prank—slipping Sour Death Balls into an unsuspecting, candy-loving gullet.  And that about wraps up this Monday.  It’s nearing the cheeseburger hour!  Have fun. -- Lauren Belski     Posted Dec 03 2007, 07:00 PM by Sarah with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: scanner, screengrab, Rose and Olive, in other blogs, Funky Brown Chick, Lauren Belski

• Checking in on the Blog-a-log: Fingerless Orgasms

  The ladies of the Blog-a-log are going strong. Here’s what they’ve been up to... Charlotte_Web is confused. She had a great time with Agent Mojito this weekend but she’s still dating. Men on her radar: Liebendamen, Cuborado, Drummer Boy and Cute Boy. Mainly, though, she’s grading papers, “which makes me want to claw out my own eyes. Grading for me is like reading a scary book ... I alternate between being utterly immersed and needing to run away.” FunkyBrownChick ponders the female orgasm and its prevalence online. “It seemed EVERY blogger was cumming online — except for me. Without a date that particular night, I had to whip out my fucking vibrator just to feel like I was still a bona fide blogger.” CyberVixen is having trouble finding love. “I haven’t had any bad experiences, but just haven’t had that crazy date where the connection is immediate and solid and mind-blowing. I miss that connection. I want to meet a boy that makes me want to call my mom the next day and tell her all about him.” SJ1000 cut off her middle finger. No joke. “The truly tragic thing is that you are my reserve masturbation finger. Much like the United States Army, when my frontline troop (right middle finger) gives out, I call up the reserves. Or, rather, the reserve. Which was you, Left Middle Finger. But you have been hobbled, kind of. “ Posted Nov 28 2007, 03:00 PM by Sarah with | with no comments Filed under: SJ1000, blog-a-log, Charlotte_Web, Funky Brown Chick, CyberVixen, online dating, female orgasm

• Checking in with the blog-a-log, we learn that…

  Funky Brown Chick discovers that people from her hometown in Illinois are reading her blog. “Hell, in the minds of some people, I probably morphed from a cornfed high school virgin to a New York City slut who swears like a sailor and attends workshops on anal sex.” SJ1000 dressed as an unsexy undead this Halloween. “I didn't want to go as something stereotypically sexy, because I've done that before with sometimes disastrously naughty results...such as Halloween 2001.” Read her blog to find out what happened six years ago. Charlotte Web reveals that although Cuborado has been sending her daily sweet emails, she will not be dating him. “I could not in good conscience have mad sweaty sex in an expensive hotel room on a surprisingly versatile armchair before a wall-sized window framing Lever House and the Seagram Building and a slice of dark that I guess was the park, with a Republican. “ Want more?
