Full disclosure: I reordered some of these IMs for continuity. In its original form, it was funny, but it had that element of talking over each other that does not always read well to people who are not actually in the conversation. Also: I have started reading Twilight. me:Â i think i very much know [...]

Follow-up: The Pole Is Not Your Girlfriend, Either
November 15th, 2007 · 6 Comments · Embarrassments, Issues of Modernity
Last night, I got on a train and firmly grasped a center pole. Fractions of a second later, a skinny young man in a very puffy coat with a hat on and his face otherwise buried in his GameBoy/PSP/Whatever pivoted from a side pole, shuffled a few steps while playing said Whatever with both hands, [...]

So I am still learning this whole “new blog” thing. And you know how over there on the right there’s a list of recent posts? You see how the date is formatted so that August 13 looks like 8.13? It just took me five minutes to realize that those were dates and that the internet [...]

Just sayin’ hi, and also saying: 1) Passover has almost passed over, and I am ready. I have eaten way too many eggs in the last week, as well as some questionable combinations (peppers, onions, peppers salad, tater tots topped with nacho cheese and bacon–look, I eat bacon on a regular basis, so just because [...]

The K-Fed Don’t Stop
November 9th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Embarrassments, Issues of Modernity
That’s my head. Talking. On my TV. On E! News Daily. Because my K-Fed AP interview made it all the way to cable and back. There was a CBS sighting, too. No word on whether it was local or network, but it’s funny nonetheless. So yes, world, I went to the Kevin Federline concert. Obviously, [...]

Afternoon K-Fed Extravaganza Update! Trent posted four of my pictures (two of which I posted earlier here below), a chunk of my recap and a bunch of other links and stuff from the K-Fed show. Meanwhile, the AP video was also picked up by Perez. In short, Dan and I are now minor internet celebrities… [...]

Pink is the New Everything

This morning I picked out a pretty fuschia sweater to wear to work. The sweater was purchased at Express circa 2000 to wear over a dress to a family friend’s wedding. I found it in a dry cleaning bag under my bed last night and thought it would be a lovely jewel tone. Indeed, it [...]

Quelle week-end! The front pocket of my hoodie is soggy from dishes, my hands are dry (also from dishes), my head is throbbing, a serial drama is playing in the background (Brothers & Sisters on ABC… have you seen this? All of the brothers and husbands look the same (but not the sisters, thank goodness), [...]

Fortuitous Occurences!
September 28th, 2006 · No Comments · Embarrassments
1. Yesterday, in a fit of scheduling confusion, I decided to locate a set of calendar pages for 2006 for my little kate spade planner. Back in the days before I sat at a computer all day with Outlook open, my little kate spade planner was in constant service. Since Outlook came into my life… [...]

Things Rachael Ray, Giada de Laurentiis, Ina Garten, Emeril, Paula Dean and The Anorexic Lady on Semi-Homemade NEVER WARNED YOU ABOUT

In our short but lovely relationship, Dan and I have become connoisseurs of the lakeview east dining scene. That is–we eat a lot of thai food. We basically split our time between Cozy on Sheffield and Ping Pong on Broadway. Cozy is cozy and Ping Pong is hilariously pretentious (everyone who’s been at least once [...]
