Found this artist, Amel Larrieux, via Pandora....
It should be known I drank 2 glasses of champagne...
Michael: I'm really worried about my eyes. I think there's something wrong with them. I wear my disposable contacts for like, months at a time. I really have to go to the doctor today.
Me: [burp]
Michael: You are ungodly. [walks away]
“We’re all going out to dinner and then going to see a “Streetcar Named...”
– Miss Fostinis. Well said.
ohsotired
I spent most of my evening braving the cold (once again) and shopping in Harold Square. Its usually a pleasant walk from my work to 34th St & 6th Ave, but not on nights like this - I had to keep popping in and out stores along the way to defrost. I even went to Starbucks at 8pm, which, under normal circumstances, would be a bad idea for my sleeping habits, but I opted for decaf. A first in my...
No quote-worthy anecdotes from Lipstick Jungle...
So Michael found some Winnie the Pooh wrapping...
Me: Hey! That’s my Pooh paper!
Michael: [strange look on his face] Wow. And I thought people were particular about bringing their own handsoap for the bathroom…but poo paper? You are particularrrr.

“Klein and Seligman seem to share a belief that book ownership can, and indeed should, serve as a medium for displaying something important about yourself. They signify either what you already know or whom you would like to be — and (this is the major point) they do so for someone else. By this logic, bookshelves are a medium of social interaction.”
I would say my bookshelves are...
One of my fave songs from the broadway show Avenue...
“I just bought SPF 50 for Florida!”
– says Melissa, who is even whiter than I am. We don’t get a lot of sun in NYC, so we’re both probably going to burn on the beach. But hey, red is better than pasty! :)
Its 9:48PM
and I am IN BED! What the hell?! Maybe its because I was bored of Whitney’s back-and-forth between her awesome Tuesday night lineup (Big Brother & American Idol - yaaawn), or maybe its because I am still waaaay behind on sleep from this weekend. Either way, its a nice change. Although it doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll be asleep anytime soon.
Everything is SO good right now!...
I feel the same way about my Florida trip, sans...
Lisa: [talking about her impending Mexico trip} I can’t wait to ruin my insides & outsides with liquor, nicotine and UV rays!
Me: hahahah lovesit, how long will you be there?
Lisa: four nights/five days, 90879238749478 margaritas, 987390473 cigarettes, 928742947 tacos
HAHAHA
Mom: Oh! I forgot to tell you that I gave your number to a friend of mine that knows this nice guy in NYC. He is studying to be an actor and bartending on the side.
Me: Okay, cool.
Mom: I mean, you've probably already met him if he's a bartender, but it couldn't hurt.
75 pages down!!
I WILL finish this 96-page manuscript tonight so I can go to bed and start fresh on the last 2 books tomorrow (er, later today)!!
UPDATE: First book finished!! 12 hours later!! - I feel like I just gave birth! (JK, obvs).
I just wrote 96 pages of original content. Phew. Its now 3:34AM and I am FINALLY going to bed! Tomorrow I have two 32-page books to write and then I’m DUNZO! I’ll...
“Maybe what bothers me the most is that people say that Hilary is a bitch. And...”
– Tina Fey on SNL’s Weekend Update - GOOD STUFF!!!
Texas Bound!
…in 67 days.
I just took a break from working ohsohard on my Camp Rock manuscripts to cash in some of my frequent flyer miles and purchase my ticket to Dallas/Ft. Worth in May! One of my sorority sisters is getting married, and its the perfect chance to see some of my favorite Texans! It will probably be the only trip back to my homestate in 08 (but don’t hold me to that). CAN’T...
We’ve already discussed why I’m not out this evening: 1. SNOW, 2. massive, time-sensitive projects for work. So far, I’ve written a whopping 2 pages. Must. get. motivated.
My editor gave me some teen magazines to use as reference/inspiration for writing some of the content for the books, and while flipping through them, I discovered those ohsofun quizzes that define you by...
WatchOMG OMG OMG!!! The NEW Sex and the City trailer is A-MAAA-ZING! I laughed, I cried. And it was only 2 minutes long.
I can’t wait for May!!!
(UPDATE: the video was taken down on iklipz, but you can still see it HERE)
1:46AM
and I CAN’T SLEEP. I’ve been listening to the gem of a website I found this evening and digging through old computer files. I’m just not tired. Not even a yawn!
I spent most of this evening reading (and finishing) the movie script for Camp Rock, which is Disney’s next big TV flick. Think Mean Girls meets High School Musical. Anyway, I have taken on a few book projects for...
“In other news, its Thursday, which means starting around 8pm, I will be under...”
– A direct quote from an April 12, 2004 blog entry. I can’t figure out if its funny or scary. EDIT: Although it holds SOME truth, this statement is CLEARLY an example of an exaggerative 19-year-old college student (MOM)!
I found this song by Keri Noble via the website...
Okay, seriously. My new fave site. →
You literally type in an artist you like, it finds and plays their music, and then finds other music just like it! Its like your own personal radio station. I’ve already downloaded several new songs I’ve heard tonight. Its free and ohsoeasy. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!

Going to an art gallery opening tonight for this woman, who is a friend of my dad’s. He wanted me to make an appearance, so I’m obliging! I’m dragging Michael along to make fun of people with keep me company.
Predictable.
Sara: I am craving Mexican food!
Michael: I am craving a Mexican Dude.
Ohhhh Science Fair nerds! →
I needed a good laugh today.
Celebrating the Semicolon in a Most Unlikely... →
It is one of my least fave punctuation marks, but as someone who has a made a career out of language and grammar, this article re: semicolons & New Yorkers, speaks to me :)
“In terms of punctuation, semicolons signal something New Yorkers rarely do. Frank McCourt, the writer and former English teacher at Stuyvesant High School, describes the semicolon as the yellow traffic light of a...
