Update to the update.

tbaldwin: Actually… You halve and grill a pear and fill it with bleu cheese ice cream, drizzle with honey. Maybe some toasted walnuts. Not half bad. Taylor, I would like to hire you as my personal chef. Job requirements are keeping me stocked with libations and making killer hollandaise sauce for Eggs Benedict. I can pay you in snarky commentary and joy.

November Resolution

I am a writer. I write. That is what I get paid to do. That is what I do even when I’m not billing my time. So why don’t I write in my own Tumblr? I will. I swear I will. I absolutely promise I will. (“…break this resolution soon” is what those sentences end with.)

Dear Friends,

I have a very hard time believing that I pull anything that could be construed as “stunts.” ashleybeatrice: -annemarie, both nattylight and I have agreed that you indeed do have a pair (maybe two) for the stunts you pull. And for that we love you

“Write me back (now).”

– I love Liz e-mails like nobody’s business. Well, mine. And hers. But nobody else’s.

42. Be a well-informed voter.

rulesformyunbornson: And don’t publicize your choice. Your vote is anonymous for a reason. While I am super stoked to cast my vote (this is not my first election, I just love my civic duty) I am not excited for the result. Because I play Keanu Reeves in every discussion with everyone I know, no matter who I talk to, everyone will resent me on November 5 whatever the outcome is.

XOXO, Hypocrisy

Seriously? Seriously? I mean, this is Nate. Nate Archibald. He has probably done lines of coke off high-priced hookers’ asses with Chuck Bass as recently as last week. Why is he acting so affronted at seeing Jenny Humphrey dancing in leggings and a bra? Seriously.

TV Week, Part III

Dixon, is that you…about to give or receive a kidney transplant from the notoriously socially-challenged Seattle Grace surgery staff? I hate seeing guest stars on Grey’s. It means their chance of dying is 60%, their chance of almost dying right up until the very last possible moment and making me bite off all my nails in terror is 40%, and their chance of remaining happy, healthy and...

A Halloween Tradition

Nat: What should I go as for Halloween?
Me: Slutty Failing Economy.
Nat: How the hell do I go as that?!
Me: Stick a one-dollar-bill here...and here...and here. 
Me: And then when people ask, tell them you couldn't afford more.

Doesn't this seem a little similar to some J&As? →

(via practicallyneutral) Favorite moments include: “Everyone knows I’m the only one around here with no-arms-on experience.” and “This is my grocery list: awesome thing, awesome thing, awesome thing, awesome thing, awesome thing…” “Where do you shop?!” “Skymall.”

The hits (just keep on comin')

Me: Why have we never been on Best Friends Jeopardy?

Stephanie: What is, we've never tried out, Alex?

(Really) Old School

Me: Does it help that I know half the song "Country Grammar" in Latin?

Stephanie: Maybe never tell anyone else that. Ever.

Slashfood Saturday?

Shoot, it slipped my mind…is it possible that Food Blog Friday, just like the Imo’s pizza I just put in the fridge, will taste even better the next day?

“Really? I imagine [Friday] being a lot less laid back…and involving Nerf...”

– John Mark, when I told him that the office was pretty low-key today.

Blogowing

These days, Joy keeps me going But I can’t manage to find happiness. Joy reminds me I’ll be happy again, But I’m happiest when I’m with you. I really hope Joy knows what the hell it’s talking about. — In the meantime, I should really stop wallowing on the blogosphere. Though it reminds me that there are people out there with worse problems—and that...
