Will you pledge to sponsor me in the 2009 MS Walk?
A quick time out from my usual silliness to address a cause that’s affected me personally, and I feel really strongly about… Why I’m participating in the 2009 MS Walk MS is a chronic, incurable disease that eats away at the nervous system. I am walking on behalf of three family members: my father, Paul, diagnosed when I was 7; my sister, Stephanie, diagnosed early last...

I saw Mary Poppins on Broadway this weekend
Had a couple old friends in town this weekend. The mild weather enabled us to explore Manhattan like total tourists, hitting spots like: Dylan’s Candy Bar (where many chocolate-covered gummi bears were purchased), Serendipity (where we stared in the window since the wait for frozen hot chocolates was too long), and the Central Library (where we caught Stephen Dupont’s amazing...

Why I Look So Good, an explanation
Living in NYC, I do a lot of walking, which counts as “working out” because I’m BRISK. Formal exercise generally makes me want to die, which is unfortunate now, since baby-doll & empire-cut shirts/dresses are falling out of style. Wanna be more toned in 2k9. Wanna do less “oh god am i starting to get muffintoppy?” -type worrying (see Fig. 1). I keep trying to...

Happy Valentines Day from celebrity couple Mandy...
The image below was not Photoshopped. My Pal Ray has actually achieved celebrity status via routine exposure on my blog. (The fanny-pack also helped.) My Pal Ray and Mandy Moore make a fantastic couple because they have a ton of things in common. For instance, they both: are kind of famous are kind of snooty wanna marry Ryan Adams enjoy photography Those are all facts. My Pal Ray is a...

Especially how she pronounces “crocodile.” I’m also extra psyched, as a result, to hang out with my niece this weekend now. Via Bust Mag’s blog:Once upon a time there was a mom in France who realized her four-year-old daughter Capucine was totally awesome at telling stories, so she started video taping her and putting the clips on Vimeo for the world to enjoy. It didn’t...

I've decided on a pet, and its name is Kota the...
Before, when I asked you guys what pet I should get, most of you voted “kitty” since my main requirement was low commitment/care. Since then, however, I checked out one adoption agency’s application form, & it was maaad long. You guys, I got exhausted. Then my friend Blair told me that when she adopted her cat Agnes, agency reps called references & visited her...

Took a lil gander at Pajamagram, and I can’t belieeeve what these guys are charging for some of the cheapest, tackiest PJ’s ever. For instance, check out a couple of their currently featured Valentine’s Day designs: Glancing at these photos, I’ve got a pretty strong hunch the fabric is stiff instead of snuggly, and that one dryer cycle would shrink the shirts to...

Top 10 tree house designs that would make up for...
Three things missing from my otherwise happy childhood were (1) an Easy-Bake Oven (Mom said if I wanted to bake, I could help her do so in the real oven), (2) a tire swing, and (3) a sweet tree house. Unfortunately, the only tree in our backyard large enough for the latter two items contracted “a tree disease” (my Dad’s wording… probably some sort of infestation or...
