New York Sightings
Based on my sighting earlier this week (Voldermort! At brunch!), I thought it might be fun to share the other sightings I have had in the city, and my immediate stream-of-conscious commentary on them:
Leonardo DiCaprio: baseball hat. biking. on my corner. swoon. i may have crossed the street following him, even though it was in the opposite direction of where I was going.
Lucy Lui: Outside of...

It was a movie-filled weekend.
My reviews, in 5 words or less:
Was apprehensive, but wow. Go.
Don’t understand the hype. Meh.
Simple and beautiful. Loved it.
You guys. We're at brunch and Voldermort (aka...
Peeing my pants just a little.
I'm watching the rerun of the Critics Choice...
Am I the only one who is beyond pissed that with a film co-written by a woman and starring a powerhouse female cast, there isn’t one woman on stage to accept the award? Three freakin men up there instead. So backwards.
You guys. I just made sriracha hummus.
The end.

Off, off, and away!
“You’ll never guess where they’re sending me on assignment.”
That’s the phone call I got from Jonathan last evening after being called into his boss’ office. 12 hours later, at 6am this morning, he was on a plane to Anchorage, Alaska to cover his first live news story (he does the video work, not the reporting). From Anchorage, he’ll fly to Nome, where...

Apparently 2012 is not the year I become decisive.
Goals for 2012
I said it last year, but I’ll repeat myself: I’m not one for the idea of “new year’s resolutions.” I think people make them without really thinking and we all know that they fall by the wayside by January 8th. But I DO like the idea of trying new projects and setting goals for yourself, and after 18 days off and returning to a routine tomorrow, now seems like as good...

A Look Back at my Goals for 2011
Last year, I posted a list on January 2nd of the things I wanted to accomplish in 2011. I gotta say…I did a pretty damn good job!
earn my masters: CHECK!!!
leave the country for a vacation: While I didn’t leave the country, I did have some wonderful vacations to California, the Berkshires, and Philly.
use the summer as a time to do something else that I love: CHECK! Teaching at...
I'm sorry, what??
I was about to post my complete outrage that a local radio station named (by listeners’ votes) Chris Brown the 3rd hottest guy of the year. I’m sorry, am I the only one who hasn’t forgotten that he beat his girlfriend? But then they revealed that Justin Beiber was number one…and Ryan Gosling was number two. The fact that the Biebs beat out the love of all of tumblr world...
The Holiday, Elf, and You've Got Mail are all on.
Best night ever or best night ever?
*also, my definition of a “best night” may have changed a lot from the age of 21.*
