“Believe it or not, George isn’t at home. Please leave a messsaaaage at the beep. I must be out, or I’d pick up the phone– where could I be?”
30 August 2006We were all reared on Seinfeld and Friends, trained to believe that, once we moved to new york, we would lounge in massive downtown two bedrooms across the hall or up the stairs from our best friends, who were always ready to meet up at the local coffee shop to talk about snickers bars or [...]
Gym Dandy, -OR- Your Boyfriend Is Making You Fat
29 August 2006There’s nothing I love more than a call to action and you, anon commenter, have spurred me on! Also, I’d like to distract myself from the fact that today I had to hunt my boss down to go “Hey, I just hung up on your wife. By accident. I promise to learn how to transfer [...]

what’s your fantasy?
24 August 2006From The Sports Guy: Q: The other night I woke up in mid-laugh. I was dreaming of something so great that it needed to be shared with you.

Bring her to me, Amazon
22 August 2006Season two of Veronica Mars releases on DVD today. Which means for the rest of the week, I’ll be holding my breath every time the mail guy walks by (“CDs? Veronica Mars? CDs?

Greedy Thursday
17 August 2006Some things that I want: 1. A Song. There’s a mash-up of Hollaback Girl and kelly’s Behind These Hazel Eyes. I know. I KNOW. Brilliant, right? If your radio listening habits have actually changed since the 5th grade and you’ve managed to broaden your horizons beyond Z100 you might not have heard it but–shocker– I [...]
