i can’t count the number of times over the past 6.5 years that i fantasized about writing my farewell email to Razorfish. there were angry versions, sappy versions, breezy versions, short versions, long versions, versions that included video, song lyrics and animated gifs, versions that referenced inside jokes and ghosts of other fallen fish . […]
Morelove this film. so shallow and so shocking that people really live like this. like an accident i couldn’t turn away from. but in keeping with the shallow theme, none of the characters or their relationships are developed with any depth at all. i’m certain it was on purpose, but it left me longing to […]
Morenow that i’m picking this writing thing back up again, here’s an important note. in real life, i curse. a lot. well, usually a lot more than my husband would like, but less around him. sorry. i was a sailor in a past life. or maybe that’s just fucking advertising. but it’s me. and while […]
Morecompletely not ideal to finish this on the plane to Vegas and be left with nothing to read poolside the whole weekend. alas, i was so engrossed, i just kind of assumed it would keep going simply because i wanted it to. loved the twists in this love-story-gone-wrong. halfway through, i knew someone would end […]
Moresuch a silly include, but really happy to have been a part of the #weloveatl Instagram show that opened at Young Blood Gallery last night. the goal of the effort is to bring the citizens of Atlanta together to tell simple & authentic photographic stories of their love for the city and the people that […]
Moreso loved this! a bit of a slow start had me wondering if i would make it through, but the characters are great and you won’t believe the shit the main character endures. since i never do my research before picking any of these books, i was surprised to learn afterward that the author is […]
Moreokay, so i’m a total 80s nerd and had to read this partly just because it’s Molly Ringwald for god’s sake! but it was actually amazing. a series of stories with intertwined characters, with the central theme of betrayal. really beautifully written and amazing characters with compelling stories from page 1. can’t wait ’til she […]
Moremaybe it was the difference between reading a real book instead of a (fabulously) tawdry scandal that writes itself, but i just could not force my brain to get into this one. i had been so excited after Little Bee, but just did not fall in love with the characters instantly in this one like […]
Morereceived this fortune at lunch today and found it really special—not only because i haven’t had Chinese food in sooooo long—but because i found it fascinating that the message wasn’t about something i could look forward to. it was about how i could improve the life of someone else, which after getting over the whole […]
Moreseriously cannot remember the last time i finished a book in a week. one week. granted, i had some free time on a business trip and a flight home, but still. of course, i loved this one. i vividly remember eating this up when the whole epic scandal broke on Wonkette several years ago, so […]
Moreit is 3:00 in the afternoon and I am sitting in a bistro near Times Square savoring a glass of wine, some time to write and the delicious freedom of having nowhere to be, no one to answer to and nobody who needs anything from me this very moment. is it so wrong that part […]
Morethis one was recommended by a good friend who shares my love of a Dominic Dunne novel. not quite the same, but it definitely didn’t disappoint. i mean, how can you go wrong with rich New Yorkers in the 30s? there’s romance, mystery and a lot of gin to keep turning pages for.
Moreso shallow and vapid. and delicious 😉 god, i really needed an easy read after that last one. let’s get real. Babe Walker is ridiculous (i hate my vagina), but totally the kind of ridiculous i can relate to (it’s so hard being me). and that makes all the difference. plus, this one made me […]
Moregod, i hate a sassy fat girl. seriously. if i had know that’s what i was getting into with this one, i probably wouldn’t have. but i got sucked in by the cute cover art and the next thing you know, i’m hating this main character for over a month. gaaaah. for some reason, i […]
Moreso sad to report that yesterday, we had to put down our beloved Maury, matriarch of our household wild kingdom and the dog i often called second mommy because of how she watched after Miss Girl like her own little pup. she was 15 (that’s 105 to you and me) and her body just finally […]
Moreprefacing this one by saying that Spy is in Italy. Italy!!! for a week!! Miss Girl and i are holding down the fort here with terrible twos officially kicked in (right on schedule, as my perfect daughter would ensure). so. this is the first night ever in 2 years and who knows how many nights […]
Moreif anyone had told me 3 years ago that i would have done a practice round of the cupcakes i intend to take to school for Miss Girl’s second birthday, i would have told them they were fucking insane. 3 years ago, i had no idea i would be dealing with mega-mommies who somehow find […]
Moreif i had a quarter for every time i’ve started a blog, stopped and then started again . . . well, i’d probably be about halfway to a Grande Americano, but still. writing a blog no one ever reads is hard, y’all. the pressure to keep myself amused and provide fodder for comment spam-bots can be crushing […]
