meaghano:
me: your current assistant is on a date.
joco: what? really?!
me: yeah. but you know, a 2nd date. arguably the most important date.
joco: true. i mean, i support that. i always supported you going on dates.
me: …
*uproarious laughter*
And I told him that I couldn’t go because I had to assist a yoga class (which I did—I went to the date sweaty and just out of spandex and everything, I swear—tip number 4, come to think of it, for avoiding date number 3). If you got me fired, I’m moving in with you, Suri Cruise tree and all.
Tips for avoiding a third date while on a second date*:
- Tell him that you have a Suri Cruise ornament** hanging on your Christmas tree.
- Tell him that you made it yourself.
- When he says, ‘Um. As in Tom Cruise’s daughter?’, smile and nod like a deranged maniac.
*These tips were just tested tonight and the actual outcome remains to be seen. Stay tuned.
**Images of the Suri ornament are forthcoming, I promise. Again, stay tuned.
On having a straightmanfriend who gets IT™:
Sam: Who would you rather have sex with, Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga?
Lindsay: Do you even have to ask?
Sam: Gaga! I just wanted to hear you say it! Oh Lindsay we are having so much fun today!
Last night I got an email from my love, Andrew, with a link to an article whose headline reads Woman Accused of Setting Fire to Husband’s Penis. In the body of the email, Andrew included this note: ”This is my new favorite court case. So gorgeous!”
It turns out that it pays to know people with a passion for Australian law. Full story here. You’re welcome.

Star Star, The Swell Season
I saw Glen and Markéta perform this on PBS recently and about died, that’s how good it is (how good they are). You can and should download this Christmased-up version here.
Notes to self:
- If you go on a first date expecting to hate the guy’s guts, chances are you’ll be pleasantly surprised (and totally relaxed—what have you got to lose, amiright, since you’re pretty sure that you hate him already?).
- Even if you do hate the guy’s guts, you’ll have been right making it a win-win, really, because you know how much you love to be right (you love it a lot).
Please mark your calendars: This Thursday, the incomparable Tyra Banks will teach Cookie Monster how to smize. Ok! Magazine said so, so you know it’s true. 4 pm on the CW. Be there or regret it forever and ever.
In honor of last night’s Project Runway finale, let’s all take a moment to think about guest judge Suzy Menkes’ hair (from here).
