That's what I thought today as our waitress at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles called me sweetheart for the 15th time. Actually, everyone here has been really nice, not that my friend and I have spent too much time outside of his car or around non-touristy people. But, either way, I'm surprised by the fact that I kinda like LA.

Today we ran some ( Read more... )

Hey y'all! I'm in LA and SF all this week. w00t! Or something. LA is weird.

Also, Save the Date! Saturday, May 10th! Drinking in honor of the last birthday I will ever celebrate, #29. Evite TK.

As some of you may know, this happened, thanks to the magic elves at Time Out New York magazine. And while only one or two crazies have come out of the wood work (which I can't decide whether I think: "WHEW!" or "WTF? What, I'm not good enough for the crazies?") the absolute best part about this is that now I have blurbs. For example:

Kate is

I'm worried about all this technology. As you will see, soon, after I blow dry my hair and take a decent picture with it, I got a Kindle. It's my baby baby baby, and I'm totally freaked out by it. I'm not really putting actual published books on it, yanno, to read for fun, but just submissions and work. I like work, and as my roommate can attest, I ( Read more... )

This ridiculous goof better not be a harbinger of the football season to come. I guess, though, that's what happens when you give football players football shaped trophies made out of crystal.

Speaking of football, anyone want to see Leatherheads this week?

You know what's better than a Melon Ball?

A Juggernaut.

I'm here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress, folks.

Hey Peeps,

So (and I think I'll start every post with "So,") So, I'm being pimped out in TONY. Hilarity will ensue shortly. In the meantime my TONY pimp asked me to write a little bit about myself for the mag and she geniusly suggested I present it to her as if I was talking to Katie about this whole endeavor. Here I present to you the first ever ( ( Read more... )

So, this happened.  Then my good friend from NC drove up so we could go cheer the Gators on to victory in the most important basketball tournament in the world: the NIT. "National" champions three times in a row here we come! And then I had to get my picture taken b/c some awesome little bird who works at Time Out (Happy Birthday!) is pimping me ( Read more... )

I read, like, four horoscopes and/or online Tarot card reading thingies a day. I love them. I want them to be true so, even it they're bad, at least I know what's coming. I anxiously wait for the www.astrologyzone.com monthly forecast because that woman knows. Read it. You'll see.  So today, MSN's daily Tarot reading--addressed to lksdfj, their ( Read more... )

I teach online. English for non-majors to college juniors and seniors who are cramming this Business Writing class into their last semester because they forgot all about it. Fun! 90% of my students have kids. The average age is probably 22. Needless to say they're not really able or willing to give this class their full and undivided attention ( Read more... )
