Khaliah: I totally think NYC is the absolute wrong place to move to with hopes of finding love.
Me: Me too!
Me: I mean, sometimes I think I'll just move on down to North Carolina and find love and write romance novels while living in a luxurious plantation-era home. i think about all the people i know who are in love and most of them didn't meet in NYC in the conventional dating way propagated on SATC.
Khaliah: That's like going off to college at SLC and thinking you were going to find a straight boyfriend.
Me: I KNOW! WHICH IS WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD HAPPEN!
Khaliah: I totally thought I would go to college get a boyfriend and lose my virginity.So did not happen. I think SATC is all just fantasy.
Me: Well yeah. Duh. So is SLC. Ha ha ha ha ha.
Moratorium
Also, now that I’ve seen the Sex and the City movie, I can declare that era of my life, at long last, to have come to an end. Henceforth, I will not make any comparisons between my life and the Sex and the City genre.
I love it when I make promises I know I will break. Mua ha ha ha ha ha.
Sex and the City: In real life, my Big love has...
Wife wants to know if I really meant it when I talked about how New York was not a place people should come to to find love, or if I really meant it about not caring about finding love.
To clarify, Wife, I wasn’t taking issue with people finding love in New York City. What I was talking about was that I am befuddled when people say (or the media beast says people say) that people come here...
“I have a feeling women are going to be dressing a lot weirder in the next few...”

I got the biggest laugh of the Sex and the City...
Samantha: (throwing sushi at Smith) I'm not the kind of woman to cook all day and wait for a man! Enjoy your homemade California roll!
(She exits. Smith removes a red velvet heart-shaped box of chocolates from his bag.)
Laura: Duane Reade!
(Entire movie theater erupts into laughter and applause. After the movie, several groups of women are heard remarking, "Remember when that girl said, "Duane Reade.")

Sometimes I worry that when von Hottie becomes internationally famous and my main source of income, I’ll never be able to do anything other than take pictures in my bathing suit, and I’ll live...
Sing it, sister.
Like My Grandma Girl #1: Where do you get bras? Girl #2: Victoria’s Secret, because no one else has my size. Girl #1: What size are you? Girl #2: Buttloads of huge. —St Marks Place & 1st Ave Overheard by: Mariah via Overheard in New York, May 26, 2008
Things We'll Never Get To Do With Our Dead Mom →
Reblogged from my blog which I can should never share with my family, but that my little sister and I find hilarious, Happy Dead Mom Day.
She’s our dead mom, and we can blog about her if we want to.
Girlfriend, if you are looking for love, get out...
With the premiere of Sex and the City being last night (Bastards! Why wasn’t von Hottie invited! I need to fire my press rep. Oh wait, I don’t have a press rep.), the internet is all a-flutter today with nostalgic reminiscences about people’s own gee-whiz arrivals in the City, chins up and eyes a-goggle, looking for love amidst the cocktails, just like Carrie Bradshaw and Co. ...

I will not get a twitter. I will not get a twitter.
I really want a twitter. It’s like Facebook statuses but you can see all the time. I say funny shit on Facebook.
I will not get a twitter. I will not get a twitter. I will not get a twitter. I will not get a twitter. I will not get a twitter. I will not get a twitter. I will not get a twitter. I will not get a twitter. I will not get a...
Wife and I ran away to join the (mb) circus.
Wife wrote up a very good synopsis of our MediaBistro Circus experience yesterday. I was expecting a lot of indie/hipster blogger/designers wearing graphic tees and blazers, but instead it was a lot of corporate media people who were like, “I keep hearing about this internets thing you kids are doing.” I found the presentations engaging and useful, but some of them were literally...
What do they know that we don't?
Last week my sweet Granny passed away, and when I called my big sister today to say Happy Birthday, she was crying because her Grandpa had just had a heart attack and passed away.
I know a bunch of people right now with grandparents who are very sick and just barely hanging on, and it’s making me wonder that if they’re all going now:
What do they know that we don’t?

I was running around trying to finish things for the baby shower I’m throwing Saturday for M & M and I took an hour to get a mani-pedi and I really didn’t have that hour but I took it and I get home and the leis have arrived for the baby shower (finally! and they’re not rotten!) and I’m trying to unpack them and refrigerate them but I have to leave in five minutes...
It wouldn't be a famous birthday without an...
My wife has been watching a lot of political debates lately, and decided the person she really wanted to hear from was me, so she asked me six questions on the eve of my 28th birthday, and because I fell asleep BEFORE MIDNIGHT on my last day of my 27th year !!!!!!, I woke up at 6 am to answer her questions.
Here is the interview, in its entirety (via May in the Bay):
Ladies and gentlemen,...
“I’m wearing diamonds and pink panties.”
– It’s my birthday, bitches!
27 goals
On my 27th birthday I asked strangers and friends to give me goals for my 27th year (which p.s. is the best pick up line ever).
Here are the ones I actually accomplished:
1) Travel to two states you’ve never been to. (Ohio and Iowa).
2) Sleep in on a Tuesday. (Does it count as sleeping in if your internal clock is set to never go to bed before 2 am?)
3) Go to a strip club and get a...
