the only really productive thing i did today was curl up in the big green chair, drink two cups of coffee and read kissing in manhattan, by david schickler. it was, as i’d heard, sharp and funny and touching. it also marked the end of the book drought, i.e., a period in which i am […]

dooce! it rhymes with “dude!” as in, “dude, this site is, like, the best ever, and the chick who runs it is an f-in' riot.”

the boy in the gap commercial, who shakes and struts and runs his fingers through his hair. yeah, him. well, hot damn is all i have to say. i found out today his name is will kemp, but these headshots just do not do him justice.

blahgirlx: oh, so do you want to hear about today's crush? emilyann: oooh yes yes blahgirlx: it is miniscule but got me giddy blahgirlx: i was driving home and had to stop and get gas blahgirlx: so i was making a left turn at a yellow-turned-red light and this car sped up behind me and […]

the one thing lisa & salim wanted to do on their vacation last weekend that didn't involve food was visit spaceland. lucky for us, irving was playing a cd release party saturday night, so there was a good reason to go. i had never heard of the l.a. natives, but l & s had seen […]

i was sitting on the sofa, near comatose due to heat exhaustion, rewinding the Felicity video for lisa, when i happened upon bouldering (fancy rock climbing), on channel 4. never would i imagine this to be a delightful sport to watch, but oh my god, the ARMS on those boys. (okay, so some girls are […]
