Things I’ve Done & Things To Do
20 September 2007This week has been really fast. Like, NASCAR fast. FloJo fast. Your Mom fast (heyo!). I’ve been working a ton and actually feeling like I earn my salary, which is satisfying, if time consuming. Also, if ever there was a week where I wished that Ashton Kutcher was secretly filming me, it’s this one, because [...]
something for everyone
9 August 2007August 11 at South Street Seaport: 1st Annual New York State Yo-Yo Contest and International Yo-Yo Open via The Boyfriend, who has excellent taste in fake sports
Things I have seen that I had never seen before
5 July 20071. College partner in crime Allison spent the night in Manhattan a few weeks back after attending the Alanna wedding (pictures and insightful commentary here, I’m sure someone will promptly tell me if I’ve linked incorrectly) and I was hard pressed to come up with an exciting NYC activity to top her last trip, when [...]
kicking balls and taking names

This week is Be Nice To Your Right Knee Week (I expect you all to celebrate/ observe accordingly) which is why I’ll be repelling coworkers all [...]
Chickens of Justice
18 April 2007Um, that thing where I’m supposed to be able to embed things isn’t working so you all have to go here and watch this short video that I promise will change your life (via Aunt K). As The Boyfriend says, “Those are badass chickens. We need chickens like that in Iraq.” It’s also fun to try [...]
Let’s get {a} physical, physical
23 January 2007Today I took a vacation day from work so that I could have a physical and then spend the rest of the day being cranky about the fact that I had to fast before my bloodwork. I don’t think I’ve had a physical since high school, so it seemed like a good idea, and every [...]
we all know what bears do in the woods
18 January 2007So, when I was 16, I was not cool. I split all of my time between studying, reading the US News & World Report college listings, participating in wholesome activities provided by my church youth group, and not drinking or making out with boys. What a difference a decade makes. Just in case you don’t [...]
