Making Peace With Zooey Deschanel
My relationship with Zooey Deschanel is troubled. I loved her in Failure to Launch, but can’t abide 500 Days of Summer. Not to mention she’s always copying my style: look at the similarities here. This is my headshot from 2009: And here is a photo of Ms. Deschanel, found on Pinterest: Source: google.com.mx via Jesús…

Gee, Off-Icer Cup-Kie
On my 28th Birthday, I went to work, I washed a sink-full of dishes, I made a pasta salad. But two days before… This happened: I met my friend and we acquired a Crumbs cupcake, an Insomnia cookie, and Emack & Bolio’s ice cream. The cupcake was decapitated and hollowed out, and filled with ice…

Vacation Recap: Grandma & Me
I was supposed to be born on my Grandma’s birthday. But I took a little bit longer than most to leave “home.” Story of my life. Grandma and I both tell the same stories over and over again. We both try to cheat at cards – only she gets away with it more than I…

Don’t Mind Me…
I’m just getting a massive sunburn by my aunt’s pool on Grand Island. Coffee and paper by the pool!

Sweetness is Sweet
Last Monday, at work, I struck up a conversation with a customer. Like I always do. That’s pretty much my job – welcome people and make them feel comfortable and happy. Like a hostess at a restaurant, I guess? Sometimes I hand out free samples, too. Not a bad gig. So, this conversation. I was…

Best / Worst TV Show
Source: google.com via Ila on Pinterest Drop Dead Diva may be the most amazing show on television: they take the most offensive, weakest premise imaginable and turn it into a charming, touching, addictive comedy/drama/law procedural. WHAT?!? Here’s the gist: what’s worse than dying in a car accident? Why, BEING FAT, of course! The first three…

I Love You, Trader Joe
Once a month, we go grocery shopping. And like everything we do, we do it COMPLETELY. Over the top. And because I am a terrible cook: Here is why I love Trader Joe!: 1. It’s SO CHEAP! A month’s worth of groceries here costs what a week’s worth of groceries cost at all the other…

It’s De-Lovely!
Oh Gawrsh! I’m tickled pink to be nominated for the One Lovely Blog award! Being able to snootily call myself a “blogger” is it’s own reward, but making connections with all of you guys is also pretty great. Speaking of which, the lovely Kassie Nichole from Ginger Flair nominated me, and if it wasn’t against…

Little Touches of Home
During my whirlwind trip to Upstate NY for a dentist appointment/birthday party this weekend, I noticed how much I missed and adored the tiny details of my childhood home that remain constant. Looking like a weirdo, photographing all these close-up photos…which may do nothing for you, but for me, they are the sentimental trappings of…

Falling In Love Again
This is a photo of me from January 2011. The last time I enjoyed acting. Or so I thought. I’ve said before that it’s hard to get excited about acting anymore. There just isn’t a lot of interesting work being done, at least as far as I have seen. All the good plays, I thought,…

Awesomely [BAD] Movies

Okay, so I’m gonna level: I have been having what Eli has cheerfully described as “a string of bad luck.” I lost my mind in an interview, left my keys at home by mistake this morning, and of course, there’s the haircut! Overworked, Underslept, I could do with some escapism. And that’s when we turn…

New York is Like a Box of Chocolates
New York City is like a patchwork quilt: there’s a little bit of everything mixed in EVERYWHERE. Little, ancient castles squished between modern, glass office buildings. Humble drugstores crouching in the shadow of centuries-old churches. Bicycle rickshaws darting between slick black town cars. Pedestrians in 5-inch heels pushing strollers through the crosswalks. Women in pearls…

Addicted to Pugs
Man, today was ROUGH! I woke up with a headache, fever, the WORKS! I’m not entirely up to speed, but one thing that always makes me feel better and indeed, is helping turn about a swift recovery, is PUGS. Source: Uploaded by user via Meghan-Sara on Pinterest I consider the roly-poly, smoosh-faced PUG to be…

Bronx Zoo – The Zoo of Your Dreams
New York City is the city of dreamers…why should the zoo be any different? Like this bear, who dreams of being taller! And the peacock, who dreams of being revered. Look at this pose! The mouse who dreams of a nose job…poor mousey. The snake, who dreams of being a dancer… Look at those shapes!…

Ghost Stories
Tonight, I’ll be giving a ghost tour. Yes, I enjoy the paranormal, the bloody, the serial killers! It’s always funny to see people’s reactions when I tell them about this strange passion of mine, but the response I have in my mind is, why doesn’t this interest you? Death is one of the few things…

Try It!
I believe in trying everything once. I believe you should do things that scare you (a little). You never know what you might like! Yesterday, I had a fresh lobster at Chelsea Market! I couldn’t take pictures while eating because hello, hot melted butter on my iPhone? Terrible idea. I’ve never been a huge fan…

The Chocolate Bunny Story
My grandfather was not known to be an affectionate man. He worked a dangerous job, building the electrical plant in Niagara Falls, taking treacherous buses down steep hills into the Niagara River to build and supply power to the whole region. He was proud, and self-assured, but a romantic he was not. One Easter, he…

I Kilt You Not
This guy is not just a triple threat, he’s a quadruple threat – singing, dancing, harp-playing AND kilt-wearing. He played Rihanna’s “We Found Love” and I just about died. And then he danced a jubilant dance for us. Pure bliss!!
