i found some decent children's music. →
i’m kind of into this duo. it’s music for kids that doesn’t make you want to shoot your brains out. and better still, scarlett seems to like it and it has a calming effect on her.

I'm so angry I could blog.
No asshole with the new jersey plates You go @$ yourself. I’m fine just walking here in this crosswalk. I hope you ram into that truck one more time for good measure. You are the personification of pathetic behind the wheel. And your girlfriend was a skank.

i've noticed that...
“like a million” is rarely anything like a million at all. i think it’s usually more like five or six. or maybe only three.

the most fun i've ever had...
when i was growing up my dad would always ask, “is this the most fun you’ve ever had?” of course it was usually when i was actually having the least fun i’d ever had, like riding in the car for three hours, waiting for my turn at the dentist, or being rescued out of a river that he made me ride my bike into.
i think this is how i developed that sarcastic muscle that is...

ode to union square
We didn’t meet here. But this is where you found me.
Then it was just you and me. And now look where we are.

oh hi there.
sooooooo…
i’ve started a new job. there are pros and cons.
here are the pros. i’ll list those. (i’m sure i’m missing a few, if not a dozen.)
i work with geoff. that is primo number one awesome greatness. this is geoff-geoff. he was in my wedding. i’ve known him since i lived in atlanta and have laughed until i damn-near-cried (read peed) on many occasion with. he really is one of my best...

yesterday i saw
two empty boxes chasing each other in the wind and a couple of octogenarians holding hands on the subway. it was a day of unexpected PDA between unusual suspects.
these are the days that will one day make you feel...
i’m watching a smiths video, there is a light that never goes out and i have this feeling of wishing it was Then.
but it dawns on me, i had no idea that i’d wish for Then, back when Then was still Now.
so today i’ll be happy and consider it Then and remember tomorrow is just another Now.

nail polish blog
i just found a nail polish blog. don’t ask why or how. but i did. and i realized that if a girl can blog every day about her nail polish du jour, surely i can write about nothing.
and that’s pretty much what happened today. nothing. i had a lousy day at work, left early and went to the gym.
that is all.
oh and maybe i got a manicure and maybe i always pick a color by its name and...
i tumblr for you
because i haven’t tumblr’d at all lately.
here’s the haps on what’s been happening. we went to pasadena last week to go see a tragedy take place at the rose bowl. colt mccoy was injured first rattle out of the bag. but we still had fun. we tailgated, had some beers, ate some deer sausages, considered taking down a giant 6 balloon, and commiserated with every longhorn we...
i'm not LOLing
well sometimes i am and i love it when i do. but i’m not talking about real LOLing. what i mean is, i don’t type the letters “L-O-L” to indicate i think something is funny. i think the real problem is i’m a terrible liar. and since chances are, i’m probably not LOLing, i can’t say i’m LOLing… truth is, i’m actually jealous of anyone...
a gig is a beautiful thing
I should know. I just got 2.
i graduated college in 2000...
since then i feel like i’ve lived more than just one life, one of which was spent in atlanta. oh atlanta, you’ll always have a special place in my heart.
there i found what i needed to move out to the big city. i moved to NY in a uhaul, with just my dog and mom as my copilots. i didn’t think it was weird at all that my mom shouted at a stranger, “where is brooklyn?”...

i like kids.
i watched my landlord’s kids tonight. after i had read several bedtime stories to him, the little boy sat on the floor and said he was not sleepy. i said, “okay, then i’ll read you another story.” he said he didn’t want that because he might fall asleep.
on making french toast...
i am 1/3 great at it. and 2/3 terrible.
Here’s a shout out to Jess for sending me this bit o’ awesomeness. Luv it. Not surprising because I always luv me some fabulous dudes.
all i want for christmas
a new set of measuring spoons. (ours were commondeered by aquarium fish and their need to be pH leveled. )
a new set of measuring cups (commandeered by dogs and their need to be fed.)
a new babyliss hair dryer, since the one i got which was supposed to be “all that” did not turn out to be any of that.
and that’s really just about it.
I really taught that 6-year-old a lesson,
when he poked his head in our kitchen window, then said to his mom, “Hey Mom! Look in their house!” I waved back at him. Lesson learned. Never make it obvious when you’re snooping.
today was so busy...
i didn’t even realize sychosychophants was in hiding until after 5.
joy to myself.
i may have bought something for someone, which i really-really wanted for myself. and maybe when i opened the lid it read, “love yourself” inside the box. so maybe i might have kept it and decided to get that person something they’d surely like better instead.

going to L.A. for the 4th...
4th anniversary! Jon’s got to work so I’m heading out to see him. So far we are thinking about going to see The Groundlings, Universal Studios, and, if I can convince him to, the star’s homes in one of those guided tours. There are so many things that I never get to do when I’m in L.A. I just hope he doesn’t have to work too much and we can get to do some of them.

today
i tried to work but that was super hard because everyone else was having fun. and when work is not fun and everyone else is, well that makes for hard working times. but nonetheless i persevered. well at least i tried.
improv(e) was tonight and i think it was a bit better this week. sans head cold. i followed that up with an evening at a quiet little restaurant in the west village. with the...
HOLY BLOG SAUCE!
i haven’t blogged in a while. and truth be told there’s not much to blog about now. was sick all week last week but i’m starting to come back up for air, just in time for jon to be coming down with what i had. work has been hectic as all get out and i performed in my improv class all loopy-loopy like on friday - thanks to the cold/cold medication. tomorrow is hump day and this...
You will receive a fortune cookie.
that’s what i got in my fortune cookie last night. nailed it!
flying squirrel time machine
my improv teacher said that i probably know i can’t have a flying squirrel time machine in a commercial so i should know i can’t do it on stage either. i’m pretty sure i know how my next script is gonna start.„
we open inside a flying squirrel time machine.
The Boy in the Balloon
when i was told about the boy in the balloon, this is what i imagined…
i envisioned this giggling boy waving inside a floating gift balloon. yep. weird…but not as weird as the real story. that one is kind of freaking hilarious. and turns out he was in the attic like i said he probably was all along.
viva la queso de la Mac
– so tonight’s entry is yet another food-related one. i swear i’m going to nip this. but not tonight.
(the thing about it is, i do ads. and other than ads, i enjoy food and mostly making food so what else am i going to write about?)
anyway tonight i went out for a glass of wine, some...
Red Flag
this blog is increasingly becoming “A blog about Food.” this should be a red flag to me.
but i’ll ignore it and carry on. i made homemade pizzas tonight for jon and me. unfortunately jon is still at work, writing a manifesto and not getting in on that sushi order his coworkers are placing. if i had a manifesto to write tonight it’d be about homemade sauce.
so...
Burnt Orange Velvet Cupcakes →
turns out that burnt orange velvet cupcakes just look like wonky red velvet cupcakes. bt i’m still taking these beauts to Amanda and Greg’s for the UT game tonight. i used a recipe from one of my favorite food blogs “Pinch My Salt.” and just adjusted the food coloring to make the burnt orange color. I put over an ounce of yellow and just a tidbit of red. but i think my bit...
improv...just a touch harder
and by a touch i mean a lot. this week wasn’t all “hahahaha, listen to me joke, i’m so funny.” not that it really was last week either, but that’s how i like to replay it in my head. this week we had to work. i had to pretend to be an expert on not one, not two, but three questions. i really messed that exercise up and i think i paid for it because i was singled out...
I’m gonna miss that guy. Maybe not his turkey dinners. But probably.

Whipping up stuff
I’ve decided I want to be a whipper upper of stuff. (“you” may have read that in my Facebook status update just minutes ago and for that I’m sorry…and by “you” I mean myself when I reread for errors just before I post…hope this brings a smile to Future Me because I’m my biggest follower.)
Clearly I digress…
But tonight I whipped this up...
