– - from “The Good Life” by Vicki Woods in Vogue’s January 2009 issue
On renouncing vices in the New Year, Vicki perfectly encapsulates my feelings on the impossibility of keeping all your resolutions in each new year. I’m glad I’m not the only one :)

He’s a sad muther effer. Ditto Fiona Apple.
Per DR, I haven’t listened to Volcano for 3 years for that exact reason. But Fiona…I can’t. “Oh Well” and “Parting Gift” and “Red Red Red” just got me so good when I needed them too that I just can’t help myself a few times a year. Sometimes wallowing isn’t so bad, so long as...

Directed by Danny Boyle
Screenplay by Simon Beaufoy
Starring: Dev Patel, Irrfan Khanm, Freida Pinto, Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, Madhur Mittal
One of this year’s most visual engaging and emotionally enthralling films is without a doubt the Danny Boyle’s ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. It might seem like a complex film, but underneath all of the hyper-kinetic camera work, the glitz, the...

“I think the idea of re-creating these dinners is ambitious, aggressive and...”
– Grant Achatz, chef and owner of Alinea, on Michael Cirino’s $300 homage dinner* honoring the already-infamous $1,500 dinner created by Achatz and Thomas Keller, chef and owner of The French Laundry.
Achatz — only one of the most talented and famous chefs in the world — then went on to say:

1. Dinner was the bomb.
2. Boys will be boys
3. Tumblr and the Internet sucked today! So boring.
4. Blah. Go home Friday. Snow/Sleet Rain, please stop for about 2 hours so I can leave on time.

6. Old Fashions. RULE.
7. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I’ve gotten a lot of free stuff from blogging, but I’m not sure I’ve ever been so excited for anything as I am for the brie log that’s being shipped overnight to me. Yesss. I LOVE BRIE!!!
Jalouse. To the point of being physically chartreuse in my envious soft cheese love!

Tell him that you’ll love him to the end of your days
Tell him that you need him in a bad way
Oh how happy is the look on your face

Cleaning the apartment again because it makes it feel like he’ll get here faster if I can make room for him to stay awhile this time.

Jaimeson is all over this. Sometimes I genuinely forget who I’m dating. Then I see 1:58 in this little montage and I go, “Yup, that would be him.”

Sometimes, depending on the music I’m listening to, the outfit I’m wearing, the street I’m walking along, or the color of the day, I picture myself as different characters in old movies. I have had a vivid imagination since I was a little girl, andI find nothing wrong with occasional adult make-believe.
Me too!!
Indeed-I’m the same way…on cloudy days and...

I am just so full of joy this morning!! Thank you to new and old friends that have sent me really kind e-mails lately. And thanks to my old boss that just took me to Starbucks for a Peppermint Soy Latte.
What would be the most amazing thing ever would be snow and a horse and sleigh ride. Anyone want to go to Canada and get a cabin for New Years Eve? Like 10 people?!? With a hot...
