“We need to cut these things that aren’t constitutionally mandated, that are kind...”
– —Sarah Palin, on President Obama’s State of the Union address, to Fox News’ Greta von Susteren, Jan. 26, 2011.
Dear. God.

Your existence in the political realm isn’t constitutionally mandated, so when I do I get the pleasure to see you financially cut off from everyone who...

YAY!!
Someone once told my mother “Sparkles are your color.” We laughed about this for days, but I’ve got to say, sparkles really are Betty White’s color.
Stevie!!
So adorable!
I’m going to a friend’s birthday party in New York tonight. I just realized two things about the clothes I am wearing for said party:
I have not worn any of these items (shoes, stockings, skirt, shirt and outerwear) in a year if not longer.
Put altogether, they make me look like Alywoowho, Nordic Warrior Princess of the Winter!

I think what’s more important than saying, “You didn’t care about this before!” is saying that we should continue to care about this in the future. The machinations of domestic politics even in countries you’ve never heard of do affect what happens in your life, particularly if you’re a US citizen. Like it or not, we’ve got our fingers in all the pies and not in a YAY PIE kind of way....

Anne Hathaway Will Probably Make a Surprisingly... →
Anne Hathaway has a certain outward innocence which you can tell is pushed out by the deep evil of her soul. She is too nice, too perfect. Just like one of those ladies you work with who you know goes home at night and pours herself a little white wine and stops pretending to be nice and builds bombs in her apartment, like a deranged Martha Stewart Bin Laden. The wispy flames we see in those...

Turns out it was frozen. It’s been doing that a lot lately but given that the thing is a third-generation brick, a relic of a bygone era, I should probably just start making funeral arrangements.
Insatiable cravings are so much easier to endure when you can’t identify precisely what they are for.
I wish I had some pudding right now.

Anne Hathaway to play Catwoman in next Batman →
Batman has found a nemesis for his next cinematic adventure – and it looks like a love interest, too. On Wednesday, Warner Brothers Pictures announced the first new cast members for “The Dark Knight Rises,” the third Batman movie to be directed by Christopher Nolan, the “Inception” and “Memento” filmmaker. Joining Christian Bale, who returns as Batman and his daytime alter ego, Bruce Wayne, is...

Is there a secret to getting an iPod to charge?
I thought you just plugged it into the computer.

Sometimes, the universe makes you spend all your days in your pajamas, eating omelettes, writing nothing, and feeling like you will only ever have contributed one story to the literary cosmos. And sometimes, even if that’s true, the universe hands you a large, perfect, and untapped readership.
My approximate reaction:
“What? What! WHAT!!!!”
Coyle, that is too good to...
I just made a butternut squash gratin with goat cheese and walnuts for dinner. For dessert I’m going to have the last piece of the tiramisu I made last week.
Add to that $3 wine from Whole Foods and “Bones,” and I am set.

YES to Alec Baldwin. I saw that...”

There are a lot of movies coming out soon that we’re all agreeing not to see, right? Like “Water for Elephants,” right?
I’d like to make a movie called “Leave Well Enough Alone” and have it be a slideshow of books that shouldn’t have been made into movies and books that I hope aren’t made into movies.

Baffles: He’s had a good career for someone so funny looking.
Alywoowho: I was just thinking how attractive he is.
Wish I coulda been here for the liveblog. Instead I watched with Baffles. He didn’t appreciate my commentary. Especially not the following (/preceding) three things…..
27 lip colors, 37 blush/face colors, and 116...
Oy.
I own an obscene amount of makeup.

Ellen Stewart died today →
I had the distinct honor to perform at La MaMa this spring as part of their annual Dance Moves festival which this year celebrated Ms Stewart. She was a vivacious, powerful woman who dedicated her life to giving experimental theatre a stage. She will be mourned and missed not only on East 4th, but all over the world.

A cruel person left this dog chained to the pedestrian walkway on the Williamsburg Bridge during the massive snow storm the other day. A nice person noticed her on his way to work and rescued her. Now he needs someone to give her a forever home! Read the whole story here.
Let’s find her a home!
