I have issues with pants. It goes like this. My pants don't fit. So I donate them to the thrift store and buy new pants. My pants don't fit. It was this last round where I almost immediately was like, Crap these pants I literally JUST BOUGHT don't fit, to get me to go to a tailor. Because: I'm of av...

The stimulus package is going to cost America a lot of money. And yeah, I've got some concerns about various aspects of it. But what's really been turning my stomach lately is the absurdly disingenuous response of Republican politicians and pundits. Why is it OK to spend extreme amounts of money we ...

Tupperware, baby! (Damn, I totally just signed up for their newsletter. That's going to be tempting.)   And, btw, totally a 2/3 cup, too. Gotta love. UPDATE:  Angela in the comments inspired me to add the link directly to the measuring cups on the Tupperware site. They've got a new design now, but...

Tuesdays are busy work days in the Los Angeles entertainment industry.

You are late to work on Wednesday because you have way too much packing for the overnight and so much crap to do in the A.M. and you forgot to move the alarm clock back to 6:30am. Or maybe 6.Even......

Starting new traditions: And speaking of Valentine's traditions, I just loved this funny post from Erin on BlogHer: Happy Valentine's Day...You Big Jerk. Finally, my Valentine to you: a Sierpinski Valentine from xkcd (love it!):...

It's accepted as truth: It's the potential anonymity of Internet communication that breeds the ugly comment threads, the virulent attacks, the hate. We blame the instrument. Bullshit. I had a realization while commenting on this post from A.V. Flox: The Night We Live-Tweeted The Suicide of A Despera...

I got on Twitter a while back, and for a while I did commit to using it daily. I twittered about my life and chatted with my Twitter peeps. I used the widget for my blog, and I thought of it as microblogging. As adding to my content. But it felt like noise over quality. It felt more intimate than I ...
