Finally, A Video Game For Girls Just Like Us! Disney’s City Girl

admin - February 28, 2013

Just like Tuesday’s post, I have not in any way been paid to write about this product, though that will be abundantly clear once you start reading… On Monday I got an e-mail from Geanna. Subject line: Please write about this…Body of text: http://gothamist.com/2013/02/26/terrible_disney_game_teach_young_ny.php I have been both thanking and cursing Geanna ever since. The gist of the article from Gothamist is this: A new …

My Review of Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred

admin - February 26, 2013

Note: I am not in any way affiliated with Jillian Michaels, nor have I been paid to write this post. I am just a good Samaritan who didn’t have anything else to write about today. I don’t like to exercise because it is hard, and I hate the way my hair looks when I sweat. That said, I recently picked up my very dusty Jillian …

Delayed Oscar Pun Dish Post

admin - February 26, 2013

I’m delayed in posting this because it didn’t turn out quite like it was expected. I made my Baked Brie-st of the Southern Wild. I cut many different sizes and shapes of brie cheeses into the shape of a giant boar. I wrapped that boar shape in way too much Pillsbury crescent roll dough. I added the features of the animal in 3-D using even …

My 2013 Oscar Picks

admin - February 21, 2013

On account of the fact that I won last year’s Oscar pool by a landslide (thank you Pete Hammond at Deadline) and could not think of anything else to write today, I’m publishing my 2013 Oscar picks. It will come as no surprise to you that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT the Oscars. It will also come as no surprise to you that I attend …

My Theory On How Everyone Suddenly Found Someone To Get Engaged To

admin - February 19, 2013

Over the past three months, seven people that I personally know have gotten engaged. Prior to these past three months, I hadn’t even been to seven weddings. It is completely out of control. Not that I didn’t expect this exact mass influx of engagements to strike right around the time of my 30th birthday. I’ve been anticipating it for the whole of my late 20s. …

The Best Love Lesson I Never Realized I Needed to Learn

admin - February 14, 2013

It is Valentine’s Day, and so I feel inclined to share a little something I’ve learned about love. This, like so many love lessons, is one I’m embarrassed to admit that I didn’t understand for a very long time. Actually, it’s worse than that, I didn’t even know that I didn’t understand it. I didn’t know it was missing from my knowledge base at all. …

House Guests are a Precursor to Parenting

admin - February 12, 2013

Last week R and I hosted my cousin Derek for his week-long L.A. adventure. Derek was most recently in Seoul, Korea where he taught English and did voice over work. He decided to stop in L.A. on his way home to the East coast to get a feel for the city. A few things you should know: R and I love hosting people. I think …

Today is my 29.5

admin - February 7, 2013

Today is my half birthday! That’s what I yelled in R’s face around 7AM, one second after my alarm went off. Then I said, “Don’t worry, I won’t go nuts and buy myself any special clothes or anything,” and he looked at me like, yeah right. I don’t usually celebrate half birthdays, but for reasons I’ve now written about extensively, this one seems like it’s …

Thoughts on 30 From Two Wise, Wise Sources

admin - February 5, 2013

(thank you Celine Geiger for today’s blog inspiration) Thursday is my 1/2 birthday, specifically the last 1/2 birthday before I turn 30. So six months from this Thursday, my 20s will be over. Thank god it’ll be in the 70s and sunny when this will happens upon me. I am working on figuring out my feelings about this fairly momentous milestone, but in the meantime …
