Lauren is obviously well acquainted with Elton John’s song book as she sings, “Beanie wearing sweeeats!” Oh, lazy sleep deprived Sundays.

Polarizing Topics
Tess Lynch is my kind of lady. Example:
1. Blind Items
I hate blind items. I picture the people who write them living in squalor, chewing on a splintering toothpick, and drinking the cheapest gin imaginable out of a dirty mug. In my mind, they work on typewriters, which is their only redeeming characteristic.

3. Musical genres: metal, top 40, country
Country especially. Do you really...
Interchangeable Parts
Me: Here’s a photo of my new boyfriend.
Whitney: Hot. Not blinking is the new thing.
Me: Not blinking is the new blinking.

“At some point you just realize it’s time to be out with all this grassroots hippie shit and in with the yuppie shit” - my mother’s wisdom
I just popped one of my acrylic nails off while picking TJ’s Oriental Cracker Mix from my molar. All class.

24 Hour Internet Party People
“One day you’ll be able to go to a party and be the only one there”
- Andy Warhol
I found this scrawled in an old notebook of mine this morning and was all, “Andy should come check out my apartment any day of the week”. Because while there may not be cocktails or pinatas, I certainly bring the festivities. Party of one, Mr. Warhol, party of one.
After enough sun & caffeine, I desire more sequins and snappy belted smocks in my wardrobe. If Seattle was always this sunny I’d be consistently dressed like an overeager art teacher off her meds.
WatchI posted about my love of Mary Roach recently. I’ve been meaning to read her latest book, Bonk, a study of sexual physiology for awhile now. Check out a portion of her talk at TED, above. A refreshing take on and exceedingly overdone topic.
File under: my kind of lady.

"I have no hobbies"
I often write about science, though I don’t have a science degree and must fake my way through interviews with experts I can’t understand… I spent a few years working as a freelance copy editor before landing a half-time PR job at the SF Zoo. My office was in a trailer next to Gorilla World. On the days when I wasn’t taking calls about elephant wart removal surgery or...

My new neighbor alternates between “Wish You Were Here” and “Enter Sandman” on electric guitar from 2-5pm everyday. Lucky me. </sarcasm>

Crash Into Me
The unemployment office phone line is currently playing an easy listening version of Crash, by Dave Matthews Band. Previously, I listened to Tears in Heaven, by Sir Eric Clapton.
Each instrumental cover has an added element of magic that reminds me of eating at the Chinese food buffet on Cape Cod off of Route 6 in Orleans between 1999 and 2005. Give rural kids a parking lot and an exceptionally...
