Feeling blessed and stuff
I had nothing to wear tonight, and while I wasn’t stressed about it, I wasn’t super psyched to get decked out in something from 2002 either (you know, just my vintage electroclash duds, NBD). Then just now (after polishing off a thing of Garlic Lovers Hummus while pondering my closet) the doorbell rings, and it’s my mail lady with a package from one of my ‘fairy...

NY Times Editorial - Separate and Not Equal →
“Civil unions are an inadequate substitute for marriage. Creating a separate, new legal structure to confer some benefits on same-sex couples neither honors American ideals of fairness, nor does it grant true equality. The results are clearly visible in New Jersey, which continues to deny same-sex couples some of the tangible civil benefits that come with marriage.”
I am lacking in both style and brains

This is the trailer for a movie I’m in with Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Rashida Jones, Andy Samberg, Tom Lennon and a million other people you know.
I saw a cut of it and it’s fucking hilarious. Comes out March 20.
A million other people I know, indeed. I see Sarah Burns and Greg Tuculescu in that million!!!! Swoon-balls.

Because the first cover of 2009 only looks worse than its predecessors.
This should go without saying

But all you Boston area peeps should feel free to to contact me between the 16th of December and the 8th of January. I’m going to be home (well, at my parent’s house in Needham), and not only do I want to meet you, but I’d also love it if you came by my mom’s store (where I hang out/shop/”help” 90% of the waking hours that I am home) Second Time Around. Here’s I video I made last time...

Here’s something weird!
I was in this goth outfit for another project and happened to be singing and talking about Dave Matthews. That seemed like a funny idea and we shot it in about 15 minutes. Pardon the horribly off-key high note in #41. You’ll hear it.

There is something so oddly cathartic in going back and reading emails I sent during the week my mom died. It is weird to revisit a time during which I was so upset, sleep-deprived and numb. I don’t even recall the emails I sent. Amazingly, I sould really cohesive and strong in most of them. I’m proud of myself.
In them I also write about stuff that happened that I’ve completely...
A friend once sent me this poem when I was too much of a mess to appreciate it. Now I can. By Rumi.
My worst habit I get so tired of winter. I became a torture to those I’m with. If you’re not here, nothing grows. I lack clarity. My words wrangle and knot up. How to cure bad water? Send it back to the river. How to cure bad habits? Send me back to you. When water gets caught in...

Anyway, this picture fucking sucks. Remember a while ago when someone wrote some overwrought ridiculous shit about how we should respect Bush because of something something? Where’s that guy now? HC didn’t even singlehandedly destroy American hegemony or anything. This is the first viable female contender in a major party presidential primary. Not just that, but she’s...

All this home talk reminded me of this amazing quote that my mom wrote on my whiteboard in my freshman dorm room at Indiana. Great words from a truly quote-worthy man.

Make Banana Bread!
I found this banana bread recipe online, and it’s easy and delicious. I add in some brown sugar (using less regular sugar) and cinnamon.
Just thought you might like to try it some day.
Ingredients
3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar (can easily reduce to 3/4 cup)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups of...
Secret Millionaire Is Not So Secretly Horrible
One of the greatest things about being friends with Eric Scott is that he turns me on to some of the best trashy reality TV out there. Tonight’s selection, complete with IM commentary, is Fox’s Secret Millionaire, in which rich people pretend to be poor for a week and live in poverty, searching for inspiring po’ folk upon whom they then dump thousands of their own dollars out of...
WatchNew Jay-Z video for “Brooklyn Go Hard.” So good.
This makes my dorky Park Slope self feel hardcore. Clearly, I am not.
