It MUST be Christmastime, because just when I thought I would die from Real Housewives of New York City withdrawal (come on – you know that train wreck of a show in Atlanta did not hold a candle to the Big Apple chicks!) Jezebel Gawker (Sorry – sister site. They cross-post. I get confused. The [...]

So I wasn’t feeling very Chirstmas-y yet this season. Then last night we put up our tree (yay!) and I saw A Charlie Brown Christmas. There is something about seeing Snoopy ice skating on the pond and the kids dancing on stage during rehearsal for the Christmas play that instantly gets me in the holiday [...]

Ok, so having just spent 21 hours this past weekend either on a plane, in an airport, or in a taxi heading to or from an airport, I’ve recently spent lots of time with magazines.
Most articles in these magazines – mostly of the fashion and gossip variety – have included articles on American actresses. (Even [...]

So, I woke up in an awful mood this morning. A really, really sad and crappy mood. Like, in tears. Very, very bad.

So I made an iPod playlist for the infamous party for my boyfriend’s birthday Friday night. He gave me some guidelines – fun music from across the decades – and also pulled out a bunch of CDs from his ridiculously large music collection. One of those CDs was Crazy, Sexy, Cool by TLC. I admit, [...]
The two-day hangover
Posted in Movies, TV on December 8, 2008 | 2 Comments »
It has been a long, long time since I’ve had a hangover that’s lasted two days. The last time I can remember that happening was after I co-hosted a 1998 New Year’s Eve party with my friend Claudette in my apartment in Quincy, Mass. The party was awesome, but I made this champagne punch that [...]

Over the next day or two I’ll catch y’all up on everything that has been going on (hosting our biggest Thanksgiving ever, adventures in New York City, holiday shopping fiascos, and much, [...]
