About Grace Rooney


Profile:  80% bionic 10% heart 10% jackass. I believe reality television is a good way to keep life in perspective. Watch any of these shows, and your life will seem dramatically better than it did 30 or 60 minutes previously. I am a voracious reader and have at least three books going at a time--Rory Gilmore-style. I don’t think my life is any more exciting than the next person’s, so the best way to get to know me is to read what I post--just don’t ever take me too seriously. I surely don’t.

Did someone say Beer festival?

By Grace Rooney in Food and drink

The weekend before last I ventured out of my cocoon to attend the 18th annual Vermont Brewers Festival.

The heat and the lines threatened to do me in, but I slathered on 50 SPF sunscreen to samples a vast assortment of microbrews.

Fantasy Television Indulgence: Celesbian Wipeout

By Grace Rooney in Mindless chatter, Non L Word TV

As much as I enjoy watching people (who should probably call the pharmacy to see if their medication has been refilled), be repeatedly knocked silly by the Wipeout obstacle course, one thing would make me happier: Celesbian Wannabe Wipeout. I am talking about the reality celesbians like the ones currently demonstrating to all of America what lesbians are REALLY like.

Choose to Refuse

By Grace Rooney in Awkward, Dating

I have been battling a major case of insomnia and that fueled some nostalgia and thinking about my past with my ex. The thinking led to Googling, and the Googling led to the temptation to engage in one of our collective favorite pastimes: LESBIAN DRAMA!!

Before Dana Fairbanks…

By Grace Rooney in Non L Word TV

Ok GTS readers, I leave it to you to deconstruct TV women of the past. Which of the Eight is Enough sisters was gay? Which TV woman of the past do you wish were gay and could climb through your TV set? (And, please, we ALL know Jo from The Facts of Life was gay.)

Breaking! Library of Congress is archiving our Tweets. The downfall of civilization is nigh.

By Grace Rooney in Blogs, Mindless chatter

The Twitterverse was all a twitter with news that ALL unprotected Twitter accounts will be archived in the Library of Congress. Already Tweets have gone out pondering what anthropologists will think of us when they unearth the library of congress a la Planet of the Apes to read crazy random shit by some crazy and not so crazy random people from all over this globe of ours.

LesbianOnlineDatingScreennameFAIL!

By Grace Rooney in Awkward, Dating

Some online dating profile screen names probably won’t win many a date. I think the following women may do better at ChatRoulette.com. Dating is hard, being single isn’t always fun but I would bet my bottom that, I mean my bottom dollar that being single is better than dating someone with a profile name that just screams “beware.”

Curling, who knew?

By Grace Rooney in Sports

At first glance one might think curling is as exciting to watch as paint dry or grass grow. But women’s curling becomes hypnotic. Unable to turn away or change the channel I became enthralled with this game of chess on ice, or maybe it is more like shuffleboard for ex janitors. As it turns out, men’s curling is not so hypnotic.
