WatchI just found this video my friend Robyn took of me trying to recreate, verbatim, some old lady in the subway. She was a panhandler, and those folks are a dime a dozen but she was the tops. Her voice sounded like she had been pounding gallons of whiskey and smoking a dozen packs of cigarettes every day of her life for the past thirty years. Anyways, I was visiting Robyn and her former beau and...
New York Diet →
I’m a huge fan of New York Magazine’s online food columns on Grub Street. They have a fantastic semi weekly feature called the New York Diet, which features famous actors, restaurant industry folks, artists, writers, musicians and a play by play account of what they eat during an entire week. This one in particular features Alison Brie who plays Trudy on Mad Men and also has a part in...
What on earth is going on here?
I have a special hatred for pineapple on pizza. When I was younger my brother, for some reason, always won out on what we should get on our pizza delivery. We had takeout food about once every few months so this was huge for me. I had to suffer through a lot of Hawaiin pizza. I’d pick off the pineapple but the juice of it would linger on my slice. I absolutely hated it, and most pizza,...
I’m about to get my period. I forgot to mention that slew of food photos I posted exactly a month back were brought to you by my period. The same thing is happening right now. I’m craving Korean BBQ and chili cheeseburgers. I call it Feeding the Beast. My old boss used to think it was gross to give a name to my pms cravings but I don’t give a fuck. I’m seriously feeding a...
Accidentally on Purpose sounds like the worst fucking name for a television show ever.
Since I was home a lot for the past few months I got to experience home life for true. My dad and I have a shared but very different trait. We both have weird and loud laughs. Like super loud. This also means that my dads laugh sometimes sounds like murder and thats when I check up on him. The point of this is that me pops watches a lot of his tried and true comedies from when he was a kid. This...
*I began to write this past Sunday. Sorry for its lateness, but we can pretend I wrote it this Sunday!*
I follow a handful of New York folks on Tumblr and I always get super jealous or feel a sharp pang when they post photos of New York scenery or I can see the background of a photo they took of themselves and their friend(s). Then I think about how I didn’t really go out all that much...
Steakhouse or gay bar? →
This is fun…and hard.
Ugh I seriously feel like crying. This is happy post. I’ve been here for over two months now looking for work. Its been terrible not having any contacts here. In my field job announcements are made by word of mouth, forwarded by emails to different organizations that work on similar issues. I knew I wouldn’t get too far sending faceless cover letters, resumes and writing samples to...
About a month ago I started doing some hardcore research on my Los Angeles ramen options. I do a ton of research on places to eat in general because I don’t want to waste my time or my money on a place that sucks if I can get better elsewhere or order dishes that may not be what the restaurant excels at. It’s a strategy of mine and I’m obsessed enough to rarely be disappointed.

A few thoughts about Mad Men:
I’m really loving these weird names/nicknames that the characters have. Pete’s old college buddy is named Horace after his dad, but Pete calls him both Horse and Ho Ho for short. So weird. And then Ho Ho calls Pete “Humps”. Would love to hear the story behind that one.
Peggy is an abbreviated version of Margaret which is something I did not...
Have you seen the following on your Facebook posted by others?
“No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go bankrupt because they get sick. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day.”
It’s kind of annoying to think that reposting this is going to change anything, but my boss had the perfect retort, vampire and...
Call me late to the game as I have been with all things internet, but I noticed that the word boner has been appropriated for use amongst women to show how happy they are when something good happens or when they like something.
Examples: You find a parking spot. Parking boner!

That shirt is so cute it gives me 12 boners!
Or…I have a boner for that guy. He’s sooo cute.

In the spirit of the new popular twitter Shit My Dad Says, I have one of my own. Up to you whether it’s funny or not. I laughed.
I had a Kelly sticker on my floor, and it says BETCH. If you don’t know Kelly or what BETCH means then lord help you, she’s the funniest damn thing ever. Anyways, my dad walks in and picks up the sticker and says, “Why don’t you replace the...
Who is Tom Oatmeal?
I live in Hollywood and try to work as much as possible in coffee shops. Unfortunately the ones by my house have limited parking nearby. Maximum two hours. And I need a longer time to get my shit done. My favorite place to go is still close by and the street parking is awesome. However, they don’t have air conditioning. Just a sad fan blowing hot air in my face if I’m lucky to be in...
Because I have so much time on my hands and so little money I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about what my life used to be like. Which mostly revolved around food. And since I like to complain a lot I thought I’d list some obnoxious pet peeves I have when eating out with people.
I have a friend that used to eat sushi by plopping down a sushi roll piece into her bowl of soy...
