If I were to write a manifesto today-and when do I not-it would be about what I consider to be a basic human right: Free, Quality Tissues at the Office ( Read more... )

Kat's trying to get rid of two AC/DC tickets for Thursday night, MSG, $110 each.

Or if you wanna buy one, she'd consider going with you. She's also going to their other show, but AC/DC is Australian and that means they're all Hard Core.

Email me if interested!

I have a sore throat so bad my tonsils feel like hockey pucks. My Gmail is inaccessible again. I can't really afford to take a day off, work-wise, so I'll be working on a number of stories from home today.

I am unhappy, and hoping this doesn't turn into Katieitis, a horrible sickness of epic proportions. Sorry, Katie, that didn't sound like fun.

My day has about 70% too much stuff in it.

I started the day with an early meeting, during which we discussed old-timey Christmas traditions and I got stared at when I said that yes, I'd eaten goose before, because my dad shot one out hunting.  Group silence. Me: "It's tough. And every time we ate dad's ducks or geese we were warned about not ( Read more... )

Yes we can, Victory!, tears in Chicago, well done America, etc.

I called my parents last night about 10 minutes after the race was called-I was at Nadia's apartment, where there was much hollering from the balcony, champagne and poor pitbull Mia freaking out and peeing on the carpet, or else that was champagne someone spilled-and they weren't even ( Read more... )

Looking for a place to watch the results tonight in Manhattan? I'll be at Nadia's place in the East Village with a giant map (and blue and red crayons!), a boatload of Murray's cheese, champers and a bunch of people. Give me a call if you want to join.
 

My hair stylist has stopped working on weekends. She's awesome-free bang trims, swanky salon-but really expensive. And I can't really justify missing work for a haircut.

So, recommendations? Please?

I have Chandra and Maggie's mixes today and both, so far, are excellent.

I'm in the midst of a communications blackout, and it's pissing me off. I have no internet access at home, what with a dead router and now totally fucked up settings (the latter totally my fault, from my childlike attempt to fix things by pressing every button under "Network Settings ( Read more... )

Weekend goals:

• Eat a really good burger. I've been craving one all week, and I keep getting home too late to get a Five Guys one (which is a B+ burger, elevated by the fact that it's close by)(By the way, I only recommend Five Guys to people who really like super-flat burgers, which I do).

• Buy The Wordy Shipmates. I've been wanting to purchase it ( Read more... )

Google tests for mental acuity before letting you send late-night e-mails.

I feel like this was a conversation I've had. Actually it's probably a conversation LOTS of people have had, which is why some whippersnapper at Google finally got around to developing. Like, started out as one of their April Fool's jokes until they realized it was totally ( Read more... )
