I did it. I successfully completed an act of impulsiveness and jumped on a plane to LA. I booked my ticket without even finding out if anyone was home at my house. Ohhhh, boredom will do that to you.

At first glance there appears to be no correlation between the three names…but they are all divisible by four.
No cameras in the dressing room
I got in trouble (sorta) at Kleinfeld for taking photos of Julie while she tried on dresses. How did they know? Since it’s illegal to have video cameras in dressing rooms, how on earth did they know I snapped pics? Something is fishy at Kleinfeld…
4 More Days
Four more days until my I’ve-lasted-a-year-in-New-York Anniversary!!!!! This is a huge feat. Should I have a party?
Proof that in NYC you ignore EVERYTHING
Me: Where were you?
Ben: At Morton Williams.
Me: No way, I was just there, I walked in the door two minutes ago. What aisles were you in?
Ben: Ice cream, meat, dairy. What did you buy?
Me: Ground turkey, Skinny Cow ice cream, yogurt—How is it possible that we both went to the same store, walked down the same aisles, bought the same things at the same time, and had no idea?
Ben: Cuz we...
How Does This Look?
Ben: How does this sweater look?
Me: Really nice.
Ben: Yeah I forgot I—
Me: Did you rip the tag out of it?
Ben: (Looking guilty) No?
Me: There’s a huge hole at the back of your neck.
Ben: No one will notice, we’ll just fix it up.
Me: With what?
Ben: I dunno, tape or something.

Say you took a cab ride, and the driver drove like a maniac, so much so that you worried he might be drunk. In fact, he got pulled over, but the cops let him go on his way. And he got obviously lost, several times, but fiercely denied there was any problem. He kept up an incessant patter of retarded drivel throughout. The meter kept running. In the end, you didn’t so much get to your...
I’ve just discovered the greatest blog ever: Asleep on the Subway.
How To Survive a Media Party
More often than not, Guest of a Guest sucks. (My brain is absolutely exhausted and my desire to construct vivid sentences is at all time low—bear with me.) But, this blurb from their most recent post is great and should not go unnoticed. I think I like it because (well, if I could ever drag Ben to a media party—JK, he comes along plenty) I am SO number 1 and he is SO number 2. So. Like...
Confessions of a hotel housekeeper.
“I apologize to you now if you ever stayed in one of my rooms. You deserved better. But if housekeepers were paid more than minimum wage — and the tips were a bit better — I might have cleaned your toilet rather than just flushed it.”

Captains Log Stardate 2009, approximately 12:48 p.m.
While in line at my local grocery store Lindsay Lohan was in front of me purchasing four packs of Parliament Lights and 1 bottle of Smart Water. The lead singer from KORN stood behind me purchasing 10 (yes, 10) Digiorno pizzas and a mini-keg.
I felt my purchases of a bottle of champagne, pickles, horseradish and Phish Food fro-yo...
I love my readers
I’m so impressed:
“Twas not Republicans in the J.Crew line. After gymboree meetings and Starbucks-mothers coffee breaks, the world soon realized that Malia and Sasha Obama were outfitted in J.Crew thus leading to every overzealous mother to run like hell while screaming MY DAUGHTER IS JUST AS GOOD!” -A. Bell.
Ummm, a plane just crashed in the Hudson.
I’ve been listening to sirens for the last 20 minutes. This is nuts.
Brunch is for the birds.
There are very few things I don’t understand. The first that comes to mind is what Ben does for a living. I can repeat it to the point where it almost makes sense, but then he comes home from work using words like “bug, code, wiki-fiki-sandwich,” and my ability to comprehend goes out the window. But I’ve accepted this. I smile and nod, and he does the same when I babble...

“Blake Lively allegedly refuses to wear anything but a size zero, causing the Gossip Girl costume department to cut the tags from larger-sized samples. Anyone else think her Nina Ricci gown looked a little snug.” —Fashion Week Daily

Final Plea For Acceptance
Today is the last day to vote for me. It will make my otherwise bleak day a little brighter (cue string instrument of your choosing).
Original Post
Waste five minutes of your precious day voting for me at the Ninth Annual Weblog Awards so I can feel some sort of validation in life. Do you think I’m a riot? Have I ever made you you actually LOL? (I’m guessing probably not.) Boy, if...
MTV Made: Head to Head Hip Hop Challenge
I don’t understand what’s happening here. Why are there all these people in the audience? This is like watching Napoleon Dynamite. — Ben.
