re: Gilda Radner and Gene Wilder
Cathy: So did they ever have biological children?
Katie: They tried for a long time, but she couldn't...she had something, like, three miscarriages.
Me: That wrecks havoc on the uterus.
Katie: So does ovarian cancer.

I Love the 90s (via Fops and Dandies) →
My friends make fun of me because I have a bookshelf OVERFLOWING with magazines that I refuse to cut up and/or throw away - this is why! At the rate our culture goes, we’re going to have an “I Love the 2000’s” by 2011 and I just know those “old” Vogues and Nylons are going to come in handy…I just wish I’d saved my Seventeens and ELLEgirls as well.

How To Make Your Own Judd Apatow Movie →
“To create your protagonist, simply take yourself (unless you are a woman, in which case take yourself with a penis), then graft on a glaring flaw that would have made you the subject of fun in High School (a virgin, fat and lazy, a complete pussy). Make sure it’s a flaw that doesn’t prevent them from being charming (such as “face burnt off” or “is Hitler”) and can be easily solved in...

I want this guy's career. →
Not only did he write two of my favorite Who episodes of the new series - “Blink” and “Girl in the Fireplace” - he also wrote the parody Doctor Who and the Curse of the Fatal Death, which includes the following plot detail:
“The Doctor invites his old foe to meet him on the planet Tersurus. The planet is a ruin, the home of a now-vanished race of supremely...

drunkbrunch: I just bought tickets for this summer’s performance of Damn Yankees at City Center. I’m sure I will have no problem finding someone to go with me! OK, I need to buy tickets to this ASAP. The highlight of my senior year was playing Lola in the fall musical (and getting to kiss my crush who so totally was not as into it as I was).

UGH my computer is falling apart.
In terms of technology failing me, when it rains, etc. etc. etc. My digital camera’s battery lid now only stays closed with the aid of scotch tape. My printer hasn’t worked since freshman year, but I’ve STILL moved it with me to the THREE residences I’ve lived in since then because I felt guilty throwing it away. My Powerbook is a POS that has a battery life of twenty...

I always miss birthdays, but that doesn't mean I'm...
So Monday was my darling Julie’s 22nd birthday and, in the midst of all my finals and thesis worry, it straight-out slipped my mind. I called her late last night to wish her a happy belated, but instead left a rambling voicemail in which I blabbed about dildos, shipping costs, and “getting crunk.” I can only hope she heard those words and know that it was really my way of saying...

The First (and Hopefully Only) Sartorialist... →
Is anybody vaguely disturbed that The Sartorialist has deemed himself God? I understand that he has gained a certain amount of clout in the industry, but doesn’t this “make-over” go against the original spirit of what his blog was about - namely, celebrating the sartorial choices people make that separate them from the rest of the pack?
Though I can’t say his photos have...

Last night at Rope I found myself in control of the jukebox and spent a good $5 programming the next hour. Songs that got people dancing (chosen by me): 1. “Ain’t No Mountain” 2. “For Once in My Life” 3. “Let’s Get It On.” (There was no Fleetwood Mac, which the bartender said he would correct ASAP.) Songs that did NOT get people dancing (obviously...
My windows overlook obscene wealth.
drunkbrunch: According to Curbed, an apartment in a condo building directly across the street from me just sold for more than $4 million dollars. Me too! As if taking away my Manhattan view wasn’t bad enough.

Today is gorgeous: 70’s, sunny, light breeze. I wore a dress and bare legs to my morning class and, since Thursday is the beginning of my weekend, want nothing more than to join my friends for happy hour and maybe flirt with a cute guy or three. Unfortunately, I left my 10+ page critical introduction until the very last second and am stuck inside ranting about Mary Gaitskill and Truman...

Today my Abnormal Psych prof managed to make the entire lecture about pathology in love relate to Sex and the City. My notes look like this: “Levels of falling/remaining in love: 1. Normal (Charlotte) 2. Neurotic (Miranda) 3. Borderline (Carrie) 4. Moderately Ill Narcissistic Personality (Samantha)” Shame it won’t be on the final, because I’m never going to forget that now....
