  • Weekend Wrapup

    Still dealing with the number crunching, but managed to fit in some fun this weekend.  Friday night I had sushi with Gabe at Le Miu, a spot in the East Village.  Some of the chefs have Nobu pedigrees, and although they are trying to do some inventive things with the cooked dishes, I think we

  • Just Catchin’ Up

    First of all, in case anyone was wondering what was up with yesterday’s post, Vox is a new blogging system that’s in previews right now.  I’ve been playing around with it — let me know if you’d like an invitation.  Not sure I like the way it displays here on TypePad when you cross-post, though.

  • I Know, I Know . . .

    I haven’t been writing as much here as I used to.  It’s not that I’m not still busy, because I am.  It’s true that the number of jackass stories has dwindled dramatically as compared to last year (thankfully).  The main reason I haven’t been writing as much these days is because we’ve kicked up the

  • 100 Grand

    Okay, so I’m a little late, but I wanted to err on the safe side (if we’re really counting accurately, I’m up around 101,968 visits including those from before I started using sitemeter).  Either way, I’m over the 100,000 visit mark, which is pretty exciting.  Thanks to all of you who stop by!

  • Feed Me

    So some of you may have been getting sporadic email updates from Bloglet at times when I updated this site.  As you probably know, Bloglet has been incredibly unreliable lately; I’ve gotten comments from friends that they hadn’t gotten an update in weeks and they were worried that I had cut them off.  It wasn’t

  • Feelin’ the (Link) Love

    When you’re out of town for the day and then return to find your traffic numbers are ridiculously higher than normal, you wonder what happened.  Upon inspection, you notice that Hugh has linked to you, lamenting the fact that you won’t be at next week’s London Girl Geek Dinner.  Sadly, I’m not that much of

  • I Don’t Know Who You Are

    But there are definitely people from the Department of Justice reading this.  Come clean people — who are you?  You’re making me paranoid. . .

  • Whew.

    To start off: Gothamist makes Forbes’ Best of the Web!  Hooray! And now, for the ridiculously fun weekend recap.  Friday night, after a trip to the spa for a little microdermabrasion (I know it’s froofy, but my skin felt soooo soft the next day), I met up with a fairly significant posse from the beach

  • Fame*

    As I was riding the subway to work on Friday morning in a pre-caffeine haze, a woman came up to me.  "Are you Laren?" she asked.  "Yes."  "I thought so.  I read your blog all the time."  Whoa.  I tell ya, that put me in a great mood for the rest of the day.  So
