Life is full of difficult decisions
Fishnets or tights tonight?

Where Did I Go This Year?
(Via lovepuppy)
Finally, a year in review that I like! I had to consult my Flickr to remember all the cities - it was a good travel year!
Lancaster, PA
Intercourse, PA (yeah, I went to Intercourse with Mo!)
Long Island (wineries for Alice’s birthday)
Philadelphia
Baltimore, MD
Columbia, MD
Washington DC
San Francisco (vacation)
Napa / Sonoma (vacation)

Mustering up my jazz hands
I’ve been on a conference call since 9:30 a.m., which has turned into me working from home for at least half the day. Will break for a champagne lunch with my UWS girls.
Oh, the things we do for Broadway :)
I'm Full
feinsodville:
I love Grand Szechuan, but I don’t think I can eat again until Saturday. And I didn’t even have that much. But I loved every glorious bite. I had a vodka-and-tonic at the Half King, and then at GS I had a glass of wine, an egg roll, scallion pancakes, General Tso’s chicken, an orange slice and a fortune cookie.
I’m also very sleepy right now.
Tonight was fantastic! I’m...
The Bad Plus at Village Vanguard
If I didn’t already have plans to gallery hop and dine out with good friends, you could bet your sweet bippy that I’d be trying to get tickets to The Bad Plus show tonight at Village Vanguard.
They’re an incredibly talented group and the Vanguard has been around since 1935. I think one of my New Year’s resolutions will be to enjoy more “only in New York”...
What a Dick
feinsodville:
Remember that heartwarming story from about a month or two ago, about the young boy in Auschwitz who survived because some girl on the other side of a fence tossed him apples? And how they met on a blind date in New York City many years later, realized that they had met during the Holocaust and fell in love? And how the couple was on Oprah twice?
Many people called it the...
Six Days
chfdigital:
I have a full six days before I report back to work next Monday, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Between carving out some time for dinner and drinks with friends — as well as to tackle several books I want to read — I’ve managed to lightly schedule my week.
As someone who is driven by his Outlook calendar, I must say, this is perfection personified.
Let’s make every hour and day...
100 Tips to Help You Save $$$ In 2009 →
inothernews:
Yeah, but these are beauty schools, so you’re saving a buck whilst helping eager, wannabe SuperCut-ers to learn the latest in hairdressing techniques! At least that’s how they explained my sub-par $5 buzzcut from yesterday at Moe’s School of Hair-vesting.

Yer darn tootin'
Can you believe I’m watching Fargo for the first time?
I saw Juno earlier tonight. So, I’m apparently only watching movies that feature pregnant chicks.
I want to go to there
Anyone want to split a Peter Luger steak with me for my 30th birthday? I’ve wanted to eat here for years.

Saying Yes, WaMu Built Empire on Shaky Loans [via NYTimes.com]
“At WaMu, getting the job done meant lending money to nearly anyone who asked for it — the force behind the bank’s meteoric rise and its precipitous collapse this year in the biggest bank failure in American history.”

I feel it is my unalienable right when staying at my parent’s houses to wait for them to go to bed, get completely trashed and eat stupid amounts of their food. It is my RIGHT goddamnit. They shouldn’t be eating all that junk food anyways, they are old after all. I’m basically doing them a favor when I come downstairs at midnight, giant...
A Polite Cry for Help
foureleven:
I haven’t been online in nine days. Right after this excursion with Amanda I ended up in the ER because of complications due to blood cells and many other things I don’t understand because I’ve been doped up on medication for the past nine days. But I’m writing this because Kasa needs a job. He left his craptastic job to take me to the ER and then called out this week because I...
Math is hard.
Just passed my high school physics teacher at my hometown Target. Wonder if he remembers how badly I did in his class.
Nice parenting
Me: "Shit, I'm getting sleepy. No more shopping!"
Mom: "You just need more coffee."

This just happened
Me: Mom, I think this is my favorite picture from the holiday. Your face looks so pretty—
Mom: Aw.
Me: —Pretty ugly!
