Maybe my sister and I could work something like this for a holiday portrait gift for him? That might be amazing.
Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion
is on right now…
I’m trying very hard to disregard that this is all about them going to their 10th high school reunion, because there is no way that where they are in this movie is where I am now. Except they completely are — down to me being unemployed like Michelle, inflecting like a valley girl, and having super cute clothes. I cannot be as old as they are.
Also, -...

By now it is probably old news, but I am way too excited Lance is going to be on Dancing With the Stars. I don’t really want to have to watch that show, but I love that he is on it. In related Lancifer news, everyone needs to watch the episode of Kathy Griffin’s show on Bravo where she goes to Australia, because he and Kathy go to the zoo and hang out with koala bears and it is...
BREAKING NEWS
Golden Girls is on back-to-back at 4 p.m. EST on Lifetime. I know it’s tempting, but please don’t rush into your boss’s office and resign. DVR was invented for a reason.
Was seeing their house the highlight of your trip to MGM Studios too?

Dear Blue Cross,
Please tell me you’ve processed my insurance application.

Dad: You jumped out of a plane, but you don't want to ride the quads?

“You’re allowed to do nothing.”
Why thank you.
what you're missing
9 a.m. - Regis & Kelly (although they seem rarely to be on together simultaneously)
10 a.m. - my girl Wendy Williams
11 a.m. - back-to-back Will & Grace (can take or leave this one - depends on which season)
noon to 2 p.m. - back-to-back What Not To Wear (mock me if you will, but it is so damn heart-warming - & reminds me I should not be leaving the house looking homeless, despite...
drowning my stress in milk chocolate
I was hoping for more profound messages from my Dove chocolate wrappers, but maybe their profoundness is on its way…
Count the stars. (well, I do have some time on my hands…)
If they can do it, you know you can.
There’s a time for compromise… it’s called later.
Send a love letter this week. (two in a row that said this - really milk chocolate seers? this is best...
further accomplishments
for my adoring fans, clamoring for every update -
finally got around to cataloging some memories from, oh, 2000 or so - unemployment will convince you that using a gluestick to assemble memories of Cancun all-you-can-drink specials is an accomplishment
ran through the picturesque parks of Nutley, NJ
become very familiar with the subtleties of the Hoboken street cleaning calendar

way too excited about the Olympics
It is beyond precious and making me all patriotic and emotional. I am so lame and do not care at all…
And just learned that when way back in the day I would joke around about being from Zimbabwe? Not really as implausible as I’d always thought. Thank you Opening Ceremony for teaching me how ignorant I am.
Also, new favorite country? Cote D’Ivoire - so quality to pronounce

concert notes
there are boys that still wear Birkenstocks? and not even crazy corduroy-patchwork-pants-wearing hippie-ish boys, these were otherwise normal seeming boys
Counting Crows are in the running for the most songs with the “one perfect part” that I get obsessed with and shush everyone when that part is coming because I pretend it is profound and speaks to me deeply

unemployment update
note: Please refrain from asking me how the job search is going. I’m slightly on edge, prone to tear up, and am trying to not have to reiterate the fears and concerns that swirl through my head all the unemployed day by repeating them to friends and loved ones, despite how wonderful it is to have people that care. You have my sincere promise that when I have positive news of any kind, the...
on cinema
I really think I want to see that movie “The House Bunny.”
Listen, I never claimed to have sophisticated taste in cinema. DON’T JUDGE ME.
the story of my unemployment
Because I am absurd, right now I am much more concerned with taking advantage of having time off than finding a new job (give me a week - this will change - I will freak out). I think it’s worse because I have always been a days-off-from-work martyr (I have too much to do to take off! The world will collapse if I’m not here!), partially because I felt like if I was going to take off...
