Fun

A.W.O.L.

After walking around in agony since Wednesday morning, I made the executive decision to skip boot camp this morning in exchange for more sleep and a Pilates video. I am still so ridiculously sore that I’m moving like an 80-year-old woman — this weekend I’ll attempt some light cardio, go to yoga with Nikki to

Yeehaw!

Believe it or not, I went square dancing last night. Many thanks to Sean for being up for the adventure. We’re going to recruit a large group next time and make an event out of it, so get ready. We also discovered (thanks to a tip from Nicole), the Leela Lounge, a great new upscale

Boo

At least two different people told me that I looked hot and should dress like a goth more often. I don’t think I could handle the time and effort it took to put on that much eyeliner on a regular basis. The rest of the pictures (from Kirsten’s party and more) are here. Happy Halloween!

I’m Tired*

*for best results, just imagine Madeline Kahn in Blazing Saddles. You can tell how busy I am by the amount of crap piled up on my dining table, the number of dishes in my sink, and the degree to which my apartment is in a state of general disarray. Thankfully, after tonight (planned night in),

Ooh — I Got a Shout-Out!

From Ms. Lusty Lady in her recent Village Voice column. (I’m the L. who used the phrase "dating yourself.") Thanks!

Yes, We’re 12.

Any weekend that leaves your abs in pain from laughing hysterically is a good one, at least in my book. Thanks to all for another year of ridiculousness, summed up in a phrase that made me laugh more than anything in a while: while searching for the word "flaccid," John mistakenly uttered the phrase "flatulent

Wicked Huge Lobstah!

I figured since I’ve been so lame about blogging lately, the least I could do was give you a good picture. I was up in Maine this weekend with the family, and after my irritating trip up (which I’ll expound upon some other time), I had a relaxing weekend, and enjoyed an amazing lobster roll

Real Men Do Yoga

I don’t ordinarily blog about work — it could have negative repercussions. But today, I’m making an exception. A portion of the floor on which I work at the new job is under construction, and I am fortunate enough to have the construction less than 50 yards away from my office. The gaping hole that

Nothin’ Gonna Break My Stride*

Somehow the rest of the week absolutely flew by. Work has been super-busy, which is great, but my hours are creeping later and later. Had dinner with some of the beach house ladies at Mercadito Grove Wednesday night, and yesterday was a whirlwind — an offsite meeting for a chunk of the day, running around

Fall Ahead

I spent my last "official" weekend out in Kismet this past weekend. I was actually happy that the house was quieter than usual — a perfect pace to wind down and truly enjoy every ray of sun, each grain of sand, and the welcoming waves mellowed by the presence of the full moon. I couldn’t
