Doctor appointment question--Help!
I have an annual “check up” tomorrow with a general practitioner to update my school health forms. I got a message confirming the appointment today with “a reminder that you should only have water in the morning!” They did not tell me this when I made the appointment, which, by the way, is at 3pm. Do they seriously expect me to go all day without eating or drinking anything...

Important decision.
I need your help. My DVR can only record two shows at once, and if two are recording, I cannot watch another one live. Tonight, there are four on the docket for 8pm. Which two do I pick:
Gossip Girl
How I Met Your Mother
The Bachelor
The Voice
What do you think?

Let’s see what shoes you love?

Grand Jury Duty.
Short story: I wasn’t selected and am back at school!
Long story: In preparing for grand jury duty, I was frustrated by the lack of information I could find anywhere regarding the specifics of grand jury duty, particularly in comparison to “normal” jury duty. So, here is my experience with it…
Grand juries do not hear one case and decide guilt or innocence, they hear the...

Project Top 100: Gramercy Tavern
One of my new “projects” for 2012 was to tackle NYMag’s list of the top 101 restaurants in new york. At the start of the year, I had been to 23 on the list, with a goal of getting to at least 40. This week we checked another one off the list when we ate at Gramercy Tavern. We walked in without a reservation, happy to eat in the less formal front room rather than the main dining...

blerg asked: Even though I rarely wear heels, I love Fierce Shoe Friday. Where in NYC (or online) do you usually buy shoes, and what's your favorite pair that you own?

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.
