Welcome to The OCD Chick

Welcome to The OCD Chick, home of the observations, commentary and diatribes of me, Amanda Rykoff, a NYC-based sports fan, TiVo junkie and social media enthusiast.

Who Am I?

You’ll have to read my blog to find out more, but here’s the quick and dirty: Sports nut. TiVo junkie. Yankee lover. Avid tweeter. Crossword fiend. Recovering lawyer. Font of useless info. Former host of ESPN podcast Play Ball! with Amanda and Melissa. Sharp. Outgoing. Outspoken. Sarcastic. Active. Quirky. Intense. Sister. Aunt. Friend. Connector. Word is that I’m pretty awesome and hilarious.

What Will You Find Here?

Random thoughts, photos and slightly obsessive observations on a wide range of topics. And if having a blog isn’t about obsessing over everything from sports (especially my beloved Yankees) to television (I do a weekly live blog of 24) to social media to travel to my objectively adorable nephew Sam, then what’s the point?

If you really want to learn more about me, what makes me tick, and what I’m about, follow me @amandarykoff on Twitter. Really. That’s where some of my finest work appears. And if you’re not on Twitter? Well, I don’t even know how to respond. For my professional background and resume, check out my profile on LinkedIn.

What’s With the Name?

When I decided to migrate my blog from wordpress.com to fancy-pants self-hosted wordpress.org, I thought it was time to rebrand and come up with something a little more exciting than amandarykoff.com. Not that I don’t love my name, but it’s hard to spell and frankly isn’t that catchy.

In case you’re wondering, no, I haven’t been officially diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, though anybody who has known me for more than five minutes will not be surprised to hear that my blog was inspired by it. And that I do tend to obsess. Just a bit. I am a Scorpio, after all. So, playing off the initials OCD, The OCD Chick was born.

Want to Contact Me?

Send me an email at info@ocdchick.com. Or @reply me on Twitter.

Oh, if you’re looking for OCD Girl, the Hollywood dominatrix, you won’t find her here. Sorry. But thanks for stopping by.

Enjoy!
