Re: Time, wounds, and being stubborn

admin - July 13, 2009

I just got off the red-eye from LA after a four day business slash pleasure trip. For the business portion I stayed at The Mondrian on Santa Monica Blvd. For the pleasure half I stayed with a friend I once..no I think twice?…oh right there was that….yep, four times swore I would never be friends with again. Yes – there’s a helluva story there. No …

Teenaged Saga — Adult Lessons

admin - July 8, 2009

I warned you. Last night’s episode of NYC Prep was, as Nora emailed at 2am, “a gem.” Many, many moleskin-note-jotting events occurred between our cast of pubescent (I know, but I just like that work) Manhattan tycoons. But as Brian complained last week, “an entire blog post on a tv show?!” — not quite my style. Instead I’ll cheap out with an entire post based …

Thursday First Dates: And Dr and a Mister

admin - July 2, 2009

The first Thursday First Date, finally, comes from L.L in Chicago. I’ve never been a fan of blind dates, but a friend found a guy ” I just HAD to meet.” So, I agreed to let her give him my phone number. Guy arrived on time and picked me up in a cab to head to dinner. Guy picked a cute gourmet pizza place that …

NYC Prep: “I flush the toilet before I’m done peeing”

admin - July 1, 2009

I swore I would not watch this show. I abandoned The City after 2 episodes, stopped watching The Hills when Spencer grew that terrifying white beard and have not watched one episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. I had risen above it all. I was watching Mad Men on AMC onDemand and DVRd episodes of The Rachel Maddow Show. Until last night. NYC …
