It's better to get the slut out when you're young. Nobody loves an old slut.

About Me

Haley didn't like/appreciate/understand my hilarious quote. She's given me a tremendous inferiority complex.

In an unrelated note, by and large, the men in Philadelphia are not attractive. I'm extremely concerned for/about my love life over the next few years...

I like to make up words. Or use other people's words.

My Interests

Lots of superficial things like hair, makeup, clothes, and handbags. Oh yeah, shoes, too. But I'm also into deep things like art historical and philosophic theory, the WTO, the current state of the polar ice caps, and Mariah Carey's lyrics; those things are lethal, man. Also, the use of semicolons.

I'd like to meet:

people who are polite and have manners.

Music:

Lately: Voxtrot. Voxtrot. Voxtrot. Shearwater ("Red Sea, Black Sea"). Wilco. Nada Surf. The Blow ("Hey Boy" in particular). The Knife. White Rabbits. Architecture in Helsinki. Ratatat. Dr Dog. Guillemots. St Vincent (listen to "Now. Now."). The Walkmen. Bright Eyes.

I'm putting this back in here.. but I'll probably take it out again soon.

Movies:

Vanilla Sky, Gone With the Wind, Cruel Intentions, all the Harry Potters, American Beauty, Mean Girls, School of Rock, Adaptation, more I can't think of.

Recently screened: The Lives of Others, Blades of Glory, The Namesake, Notes on a Scandal.

Television:

The OC (RIP), I Love Lucy, The Office (US and UK), Grey's Anatomy, America's Next Top Model, Project Runway, Entourage, Weeds, Sex and the City, Full House, the Hills, the Soup, Best Week Ever, and lots of TLC and HGTV shows that I doubt anyone else watches: What Not To Wear, Property Ladder, Flip that House, Flip this House, Designer's Challenge, Hidden Potential, Sell this House, Buy Me, etc.

Should I be embarrassed that this list is so long?

Books:

All the Harry Potters (in order of preference: 4, 6, 3, 1, 5, 2), Gone With the Wind, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, Running With Scissors, Valley of the Dolls, Bergdorf Blondes, The Devil Wears Prada, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, etc. Of course, it goes without saying, I also enjoy trashy celebrity tabloids such as US Weekly and Star.

Current read(s): The Year of Endless Sorrows by Adam Rapp and The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera.

Heroes:

Me.

Tribute to My Fair Haley

If you peep my comments section you can plainly see that Haley is obsessed with the idea of my blogging about her.  She is so unabashed about her self-love (interpret that any way you'd like) it ...

Ashley and I are delusional

This is an honest-to-God almost 10 minute conversation that Ashley and I had over Gmail chat today regarding a fictional In-n-Out/Tasti D Lite owned by Rachel Bilson, Mandy Moore, Jake Gyllenhaal, and...

The homeless are entertaining sometimes

So last night on my longish subway ride home from the Upper West Side I was mildly entertained by a homeless man with one tooth.  He danced with a pole (and got dowwwwwwn) while he sang Hot in He...
