I liked the Red Wedding song — very Sondheim-esque.

But people also falsely report thefts, assaults, etc., everyday — with equally profound impact on the accused. And you don’t see anyone saying “there are false reports of theft, therefore all reports of theft must be suspect.” Rape is a crime, just like theft is a crime. Why is it OK to say “oh someone somewhere…

Fan BingBing always brings it. Obviously Rhianna “won” the Met Gala this year, but BingBing also came to play. This cape, tho!

That last tweet. I can’t even bring myself to quote it. Holy crap, congrats for unseating Pamela Geller for title of Worst, Most Hateful Shit-Stirrer In America, Chuck C. Johnson. You deserve it!

Brooklyn Heights, tho. AKA the “UES of Brooklyn.” It’s always been rich and pretentious. (But having been recently priced out of BK myself, I feel you.)

This is very literally my worst nightmare. I have recurring dreams about finding out I’m pregnant after it’s too late. It actually keeps me up at night. As far as I’m concerned I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant needs to be reclassified from “reality TV” to “horror”.

Re: getting screened for skin cancer: I’m very fair complected, am terrible at this whole remembering to apply sunscreen thing, and therefore spent tons and tons of time in the sun sans protection (and some of it in bad-for-exposure places like Australia). I told this to someone the other day and she freaked on me —…

This dress was made for twirling.

Close! Gov’t relations, but our bread & butter is land use.

So, I walked into work yesterday morning and as soon as I picked up the phone, Lindsay Lohan’s legal problems became my actual professional problem. Yesterday I spent most of the day explaining what a “swole patrol” is. I usually work on zoning variances and City budget stuff. I don’t even know what’s going on…

In a lot of series the individual episodes are written and directed by different people than the the person who’s name is on it, e.g., Matthew Weiner doesn’t write/direct every episode of Mad Men. Check out the credits for individual episodes of shows you like. You’ll be surprised; I was. Although it makes sense,…

My SO and I watched Three Kings last weekend! We came upon it while sifting through the anals of Netiflix instant. We were both immediate like “HELL YES.” And I can happily report that it totally holds up. Actually, I think it makes even more sense post-Iraq II. Everything about it is so great.

I got stuck between two man-spreaders on the A train yesterday — 59th to 125th. I like to assert my right to the full space of my seat through an effective combination of constant knee bouncing and and sharp elbows.

Jimmy “I own the stadium so I will subject paying ticket holders to my band” Dolan made a douche bag choice? SHOCKING.

Could you please go back in time and tell 20 year-old me that? (That’s the the thing about being young/fearless stupid.)

I often forget that right on red is legal pretty much everywhere outside the five boroughs. And don’t even get me started about how NYPD traffic enforcement pretty much just guesses when it comes to enforcing traffic laws, especially with rules about cycling. Like, I bet if you went around and pop-quizzed traffic cops…

This series “Till Death Do Us Part” from the Post & Courier (SC, not FL — but still) takes on this exact issue and discusses how their obsession with gun rights, combined with deep-seeded but outdated ideas about women, religion, and privacy, makes SC and other southern states really fucking bad at domestic violence…

Pro tip 7: If you happen to be smuggling weed from Australia to NZ via plane because study-abroad SPRING BRAAAKE and NZ weed sucks (sorry, it does) and you just cannot bare the idea of throwing away amazing bud, double bagging and sticking it down your undies works really well. Just remember not to freak out about the…

This was me and my SO two months ago at the Ikea in Red Hook. We started out OK — we’d done research! We had a list! Then, the somehow our precious, guiding light of a list got lost and everything sort of just unraveled from there. We also made the fatal error of going on day when we were time-limited (please — if you…

Yes. Brunch should only be known for what it is, one step in the movement toward meal singularity: BREAKFAST SERVED ALL DAY. EVERYWHERE.
