the blizzard made the whole city fall into a hush and after we went out drinking in our party dresses and snow boots we discovered the swing set (for babies) in union square and somehow squeezed ourselves between the chains and atop the bucket seats. we remembered how hard it is to...

number 3 is by far the best. well played, leno.
writing my final paper of the term and i cannot come up with any manner of bribery to just get this done. so far i have tried: mindless gossip sites (+2 for 30 seconds of entertainment, -1 for only lasting 30 seconds), telling myself i can have a glass of wine (+3 for motivation, -2 because i haven’t allowed for it yet), promising myself snacks (+2 for overall idea, -2 for being too lazy to...

Between this, the documentary I watched last night, and reading The Chris Farley Show this weekend, eating disorders seem to be the theme of my weekend.
I will say this and it will be in poor taste but it might be time we restart “celebrity death pool.” This just might be your year, La.
the blizzard made the whole city fall into a hush and after we went out drinking in our party dresses and snow boots we discovered the swing set (for babies) in union square and somehow squeezed ourselves between the chains and atop the bucket seats. we remembered how hard it is to swing especially when you’re laughing and your feet do not touch the ground. a stranger gave me several pushes...

(this looks a whole lot like northern india! oh memories of nomads on horseback, altitude sillies, the pashmina goat herders watching us from afar and resting even higher up on the ridge, the prayer flags, and that little yurt baby at camp! …pinecone, let us return to our promised land!)

how we choose books
Elsa: Ooooooh this Reliable Wife book
me: I KNOW. I saw the words “good and evil!” and I got terribly excited
Elsa: I saw “murder, madness, and passion” SOLD. Also mail order bride and sinister which is a total buzz word for me, because it indicates victorian creepiness
Leila: MURDER, MADNESS, PASSION. I hope there are dirty parts!!!
Elsa: God, there is little I love...
constructing your menu
Elsa: I LOVE CAKE
me: I know. I love cake, too. Fuck it. I want fucking cakes. I’m making fucking cakes
Elsa: Make some fucking cakes
me: I will make some fucking cakes

When Mason said something to me about “Franco” the other day, in a context that clearly indicated JAMES, I was all “why are we talking about Francisco Franco, former Spanish dictator, b. 1892 d. 1975?”
Anyway, I hope everyone read “A Star, A Soap, and the Meaning of Art: Why an appearance on ‘General Hospital’ qualifies as performance art” because whoa, James Franco. You are the dictator...

“Biggest concern was him being out there, gettin’ kidnapped, gettin’ run over, the alcohol, havin’ to have his stomach pumped.”
“He runs away trying to find his father,” she said. “He wants to get in trouble so he can go to jail because that’s where his daddy is.”

Was it my purchase of a persian drink or my cloche? No matter, because I still got a dollar back from lunch today (it’s the small things). I am embracing my twenties with a vise grip. Twenties, never leave me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

leilacohan:
YES, YOU ARE.
This lady is uninviting everyone to her wedding who didn’t respond to her Save the Dates, which DID NOT REQUIRE A RESPONSE.
Automatic hell points. Like a gagillion more than I have wracked up and we’ve seen the shit I post about.

in regard to names

me: we could just go king herod on their asses

I can't be the first to wonder:

Is TLC secretly funded by some anti-procreation cabal (maybe a shadow faction of the zero population growth people)? Between the shows about dismayingly large families (18 Kids and Counting, Jon and Kate Plus 8, Table for 12), the shows about what monsters humans can be (I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant, Say Yes to the Dress, Toddlers and Tiaras), and all the shows and specials about people...

“In part this was because the two rapidly discovered that they had a huge number of friends in common. Seemingly everyone Mr. Carroll knew from Bowdoin College, his alma mater, had gone to Dalton, the Upper East Side private school that Ms. Bodner had attended from kindergarten through high school.”

“It was a bottle of Natra Pure All-Natural Colon Cure. My boss got me a fucking bottle of laxatives she bought off the Internet. (Now with Green Tea!) And I’m not just saying this for affect, but at that moment, I 100% thought that I was going to burst into tears. Because apparently the vibe I give off to people on a daily basis is that I’m depressed and constipated. DEPRESSED....

Every summer of my childhood was spent visiting my grandparents in Corsica for three months. The first week of being in the village my grandfather is from was swallowed up by calling on relatives, which was tedious but not unpleasant. (If you have never had to pay respects to dozens of elderly aunts, uncles, and distant cousins in an Old World kind of place here is how it...
