WatchHere’s the first episode of Secret Santa, a web series by UCB beta team Pantsuit. I’m in it, along with Anthony Gioe, Deb Tarica, Alex Fernie, Neil Campbell, Suzi Barrett, Mary Holland and Greg Tuculescu.
This was one of the most fun days I’ve had since moving to LA. I spent most of the shoot laughing at everyone else. And eating cheese doodles.

LA-versations: Intelligentsia Coffee, 12/10/11
Older man waiting for his coffee: Your daughter is just beautiful.
Kate: Thank you.
Baby E: No shit, guys.
Older man: She reminds me of my daughter. She just turned twenty years old.

Kate: Cool!
Baby E: This city, I swear to god.

WatchI had no opinion of Bruno Mars until last night, when he sang “Greatest Love of All” to me at the Grammys Nominations Concert. Now I’m in love with him and his cheekbones.
