Oh LOL @ “friends” who are the most relentless about “read this thing that I wrote,” “watch me do this,” “do this thing that caters to my needs” (and god help you if you don’t do it all, because you will be on the receiving end of the mother of all guilt trips) but who — when YOU finally get to do something you enjoy — have nothing but a nasty, indirect jibe to offer. No “nice job,”...

What is Your Book Title?
Chiara recently noted that she passes her time writing three line biographies of herself in the third person. I like the idea, but I’ve found myself writing self-help book titles for myself and others.
For a lady I met at a conference the other day, I titled her book, “How to dress like a fashionable professional boss lady without caving to the shapeless suit or looking too...
On Youth
On the plane back from Miami yesterday I was sitting next to a woman who’d had so many plastic surgery sessions, I could literally see the line where her normal tissue ended and her collagen injections began.
“How old are you,” she asked. “19?”
“I’m nearly 30” I replied (side note: OH MY GOD I AM ALMOST THIRTY)
“You aren’t. Or if you...
“Also, I’m always available for emotional support. Call me before any...”

megsokay asked: Can we talk about Jewish stereotypes in British culture and cinema? Because...okay...when I was living in London it suddenly became apparent in one horrific and embarrassing moment that Brits have very little real understanding of how Jewish people exist beyond stereotype (unless that Jewish person's name is Daniel Deronda).

Dreams, Callista Gingrich and Blood Suckers
Last night I had a dream that I was sitting on a train next to a bunch of vampires.
I knew they were vampires because I’ve been doing a lot of research into blood suckers lately. It started when I watched Callista Gingrich make a tribute video to Nazi propaganda talking about American Imperialism. From there it went to googling every public appearance C.G. ever made. Then I put together her...

Chiara: What does is say about us that we have cats named Emily Dickinson and Bridget Jones?
Joy: And we have discussions about how we think our cats are happier when our apartments are clean.
Chiara: WE ARE PARODIES OF OURSELVES!!

In the early stages of my current relationship, I was bemoaning the fact that my travel schedule caused me to miss apple picking season. After listening to my whine, my current boyfriend showed up at my door with handful of freshly-picked apples (earning him the nickname “Bon Iver” amongst some friends). This small gesture (and there’ve been many more since then) carries much more meaning for...
