muxtape →
Ladies, If you go to my muxtape and listen to the songs i put on there by Hopalong, you will love me forever. It’s just a girl and her guitar. She’s extremely creative, inspiring, and she has a very unique voice. She is talent, basically. I know you’ll enjoy her as much as I do. aaand go!
I HATE Pacman
My fiancee decided to resurrect the game on his laptop and invited me to play. It brought up long pent up feelings of worthlessness that I experienced when my two cousins could always get to like the fiftieth level and I never made it past first. I just hate games I am not competitive and I don’t care, but they still make me feel sad if I don’t win. What is that called?

El Manuel
I remember my ex telling me how difficult it is to read me sometimes. We jokingly discusssed writing “el manuel” and every time I’d make some nonhuman noise to signify I wanted something, we’d mentally write an entry. Well the guy’s no longer in my life (good riddance!), but el manuel turns out to be a great idea. I think there are various disconnects in...
The dirty end of HR
It’s not fun, but it’s something HR peeps occasionally need to do. I hate liars (I’ll start there). I want friends who will tell me if I look fat in those jeans (in a really nice, sweet way). I want a boyfriend who will tell me if he’s in need of a boys-night-out (again, in a really nice sweet way). I want people around me I can trust. Including employees. Part of my...
Party Time!
Hey ladies, We’ve gained many Tumblinas since we first discussed our meet up. So, with that being said, I am going to need one more ‘head count’ of who will be joining us THIS SATURDAY at 8 pm at the Beauty Bar. Perhaps we can all go over together for the ‘regular’ Tumblr meet up afterwards. So yes, kindly e-mail me or IM me (if you have my screen name) to RSVP...
The only thing we'll never be.
I just stumbled upon the boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend’s blog. Not the ex I’m jealous of; this is the ooooold one. The one from nearly five years ago whom he grew to loathe after an ultimately unhealthy five year relationship. But this was also his first real grownup thing. They had a dog together, lived together. Traveled together, knew each other’s families intimately. ...
Cure Me
I feel like things in my life will settle down if I find a nice boy to share time with. I won’t have as many urges to go out and meet everyone at a party, won’t constantly be scanning a room, won’t be trying so damn hard all the time, “just in case”. Haha, but then again, maybe that notion is what’s perpetuating the drunken debauchery, my too-often make out...

Vogue and Triglycerides
Has anyone seen the April edition of Vogue? They seem to have a brand new outlook. Well I read an article in there about an Asian woman who struggled with dieting (or “minus” as she calls it) all her life. It’s really refreshing to read about an Asian woman who isn’t 5’2” and 110lbs. I love that she admitted during a bad relations at Yale Law, she weighed in...
Lingerie
Okay - I hate lingerie. I never wear it. But I am thinking I need something cute for my wedding day. My dress doesn’t require anything too fancy - just something strapless with decent support and push-up capabilities. And I’d like to find a nice wedding lingerie set. Can you girls puh-lease help me?? I am so clueless!
oh, ebay, my downfall
uh oh, i have fallen back into my ebay obsession. i just hope it doesn’t get as bad as when i was a freshman in college and purchased a prada chapstick for $15 dollars. chapstick. when i recieved the two inch long tube of petroleum goo, i thought to myself “shouldn’t this have a prada purse attached for what i paid??”. i’ll be safe this time around, i have learned. i...
;-(
Quite possibly the hardest thing to do is watch my grandpa cry. This is a man who suffered through WWII first hand. Surviving two sunken carriers, a POW camp and the defense of Australia from the nazi/japanese invasion. A man who had what I affectionately call a “white anger”, where it took something very serious for him to become overtly upset and show emotion. I saw my grandpa cry (for the...
New Flea Market in Brooklyn →
dazzlingdelta: foodinmouth: Brooklyn Flea, the largest outdoor market in New York City, is opening in Fort Greene in April 2008! Every Sunday, starting April 6, the folks at Brownstoner.com, Brooklyn’s best website about real estate and renovation, will bring together top sellers of new and vintage furniture, lighting, records, clothes, jewelry, crafts, and more at a 40,000-square-foot lot at...
Panicking
My boss just told me she needed to “talk” to me about something. By her mood today (not with me, just not as cheerful as usual), I can tell that it’s probably not good news. I’m almost vomitting with nervousness. Tell me it will be okay.
Attn: Sarazucker →
The New York Times reports there’s a new emerging trend of hipsters being librarians. danhacker:That would be a pretty cool career change. Sarazucker- wanted to make sure you saw this. I know you were having trouble defending your career choice, but apparently you were way ahead of the trend!

detatched.
I’m experiencing all this with some sort of strange detatchment. Has this ever happened to anyone else with the death of a loved one?

Thought of the Day
I don’t know why people stare at me. Either they have nothing better to look at, think my hair is “weird” or they just think I’m hot. Anyone else find it weird when guys do that? Like…WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!
“There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well....”
– Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice. I find myself feeling this way quite often.
sigh.
when did it become so expensive to die?
lights on this Saturday!
Millions of people around the world are joining together to make a statement about climate change by turning their lights off for an hour. It’s called Earth Hour. Earth Hour is on March 29 from 8 - 9 p.m. local time, and it looks like it’s going to be really big. So far 25 cities around the world are taking part, including Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix and San Francisco in the U.S. Sign...
cookies make the world go 'round
you know when you have leftovers from a party and you take it in to work for the vultures because you won’t (or can’t) finish it all yourself? Well today I’m the vulture. jumbo-sized box of Milano cookies + premenstrual me = delicious self indulgence. i don’t even feel a little bad about it either.
SKIN DEEP →
I just found out from this cosmetics-toxicity database that my favorite moisturizer (Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer), probably the only product to which I’ve been faithful since high school, is a 7 (!) on a scale of 1 (could eat it) to 10 (could kill you in the longterm). Bummer.

Civil rights help
Does anyone know of a decent civil rights/social movement exhibit in a northeast city? It’s random, I know…I’ll go to Boston, NYC (obs), Washington, Philly, etc. Thanks!

VIP/Red Carpet events
Does anyone know where I can find listings online for “Red Carpet” type parties that would suit a musician? Any sponsored parties? Is this info even avail online???
Need to share and I can't really share this on my...
I’m trying to find a wedding dress, buy it and have it delivered in four weeks. Why can’t I ever do anything the easy way? Also, life would be a lot easier if I were flat chested. A. LOT. EASIER.
I'll miss you...
My Grandma died this morning and so I’m packing and getting ready to jump on a plane to my home town of San Antonio, Texas for the funeral and memorial service. I’ll talk to you all when I get back, I’ll miss you.
