The Sex and the City movie opens tomorrow!
I can’t tell you how incredibly excited I am to see this. Every time the preview comes on I shhh everyone around me and fall into a deep trance. A month ago, Molly told me to go onto Fandango and purchase a ticket on opening night for the 7 PM show at Times Square. I did, or thought I did, until two weeks ago when my friends asked me whether or not I had received a confirmation email, and...
“‘My goodies and my freak nasty should be good enough for you.’

– Kristine. Oh, how I miss Minnesota radio.

Best email of my life.
THREE DAY WEEK!
NEWSFLASH, LADIES: Men will judge your torso.
me: what about tina?
Alex: oh...ummm
yeah
that came to head this weekend
and also
Plan B and a half
fell through
interestingly enough
when i saw her in a bikini
me: ALEX!
that's horrible
i can't believe that
TERRRRRIBLE
Alex: what
me: shame shame
Alex: that i wasnt interested cause i saw that she's actually really pudgy
Alex: she has a good rack and nice legs, and knows how to dress herself to cover it all up
but
the bikini cant hide the truth ;)
me: omg
send me a picture of this girl
and that's why women are so self conscious
Alex: well....in her case
it was a giant let down
i need to give her kudos on her clothing selection
because
i was very surprised
me: i'm never going to be in a bikini around you
ever
Alex: HAHAAH
im not interested in u tho
u could traipse around nekid
i wouldnt care
me: that doesn't matter
you're still going to think i'm fat
Alex: romantically i mean
uh uh
i wouldnt think so
me: alex, you're making me angry
that girl is hot
Alex: yeah - i thought she was hot, and i really dont mean to make you angry
this isnt a conscious thing that happened
its something i felt inside
me: i just can't believe this
she's a babe
what's wrong with her middle?
is it THAT bad?
Alex: yeah
it is
i realized
that, she uses her boobs to press out her shirts
like
the fabric juts out from there
and doesnt show lines from the stomach
me: WHAT?
well she's got big boobs and nice legs and she's hot and interesting
Alex: yeah
me: you're done with her because of her torso?
Alex: that was my thinking
me: i can't believe this
WatchWe get on the N train and sing the entire way home, even though we don’t know any of the words to the songs we choose.

Guess who's snuggled in my bed right now?
MY PISTER, LILLY!
She arrived last night around 12:30 AM. I was already passed out, but mustered up the energy to eat cheese and Wheat Thins and chat for an itty bitty. The plans for today involve a lunch of burgers and toasted marshmallow shakes at Stand, afternoon beers at Boat Basin and then a fiesta-filled evening.
So. Excited. She’s. Here.

The Secret Lives of Married Men
This week’s New York Magazine really scares me.
Rain down on me
One of the nastiest things in the world is walking through the rainy streets of New York City in flip flops.
Usually I’m prepared for the rain. I have my rain boots on and one of my ten $2 umbrellas in my bag. Not this morning - I didn’t even see it coming.
When I finally got onto the subway after work, I looked down to see my feet were covered in a milky goey layer. Disgusting. To...
Me: haha i am an idiot
Molly: you really are
“It appears as though I have a bone spur on my wrist. Seriously, what is up with...”
– Email from Kristine. When she came to visit me last year she got a gland stone. While I was at work, she walked to the emergency room. The entire weekend she sucked on lemon drops and looked half chipmunk. I thought it was cute.
WatchHere, Tommy explains why he loves liquids and touches on the importance of the sequence in which he drinks.
You know, America runs on Dunkin'
I’ve never been a HUGE fan of Dunkin’ coffee. Not sure why - I’m not very picky person. Could it be because Rachel Ray is the official spokesperson? Or because one time I drank a big gulp sized iced coffee and afterwards I felt like someone was repeatedly stabbing my abdomen? Or maybe it’s because there are so many flavor squirt options I get too overwhelmed? Whatever the...
We all make mistakes
I guess my story about mom/Wendy/Pretty Pictures is off. Way off. I swear, that is exactly how I took it all in when they told it to me over alcoholic beverages at Le Figaro Cafe a few months ago.
Here’s they REAL story from momma:
We bought a house and couldn’t close on it until July. We were married in June. Instead of moving my things to Mike’s apartment, or vise versa, we decided to...
Webs
I’ve been talking about the power and depth of the Internet with people a lot lately. I mean, I’m all over the Internet. Google me and pages of juicy stuff pops up. Facebook me and you’ll find over 1,000 photos of me sticking out my tounge/chewing with my mouth open/looking drunk. I have two blogs and contribute to another. I’ve got videos. I’m everywhere. Now,...
Truffle Shuffle
Sometimes when I’m deep in my nerdy work, I turn my baby pod on shuffle to add some spice and excitement to my constant clicking.
Guess what just came on? The jam: Stars Are Blind. Lil and I used to listen to this song a lot. When we were in Chicago a few summers ago, we were walking down the street and heard it pumping from a car. It was a dude - windows down in his SUV, just loving Paris...
But where do I put my frozen food?
I just went upstairs to the kitchen to put something in the freezer. Then I realized that our refrigerator doesn’t have a freezer. It’s just one HUGE fridge with extra drawers. I think that’s weird. The man pouring cream into his coffee, didn’t. He thought it was weird that I kept opening and closing the fridge and saying, so there’s no freezer…really…so...
“I miss your scent.”
– Kayla. One of the best text messages I have ever recieved. ONE of the best.
WatchVideo overview: We ordered what we thought were going to be MACHO NACHOS and what we got were naked nachos (cheese only). We give Papa Bear a creepy shout out. Then Tommy tells us about how he walked an old lady across the street all while Molly asks a lot of questions. To wrap things up, I make some effects.
Ouch, Charlie! That really hurt!
Yesterday, while escorting Tommy out of my apartment and into his car, I fell down the stairs. Like, hard. So hard that Kayla thought it was Tommy’s suitcase that made such a loud noise. Nope, it was my body. I think I broke my elbows and butt. Today I can’t move.
Today we celebrate our Mothers.
My mom is one remarkable lady. Not only is she wickedly smart and nutty in the funniest way, but she has this phenomenal ability of connecting with people.
And this means all people - she wants to talk to them and learn their story. Her friends range from really cool 28 year-old hipsters who are also my friends, to a group of 70+ year-old long blade skaters. Growing up, her talking to random...

It's so hot in my office...
…that my pants are rolled up, shoes are off and I’m chugging water and sticking my upper body out the window every few minutes. Think I’ll leave now.
Happy Birthday to Hannah!
She’s smart! She’s funny! She has really nice hair! Her nose is smooshy! She can draw really well! She’s a talker and a listener and a cuddler and I love her, so. She’s like my little sister. My little twin sister. Soon we will be living together in Brooklyn - cooking dinner together in our precious pad. I can’t wait. I’m trying to get her a job so that she can...
