Hiding from your family at the holidays
Oh ha, did I mention I’m on vacation already? Because I totes am.
About to undertake suggestion #4 on this list (apple clafouti for Christmas Eve morning because I’ve got it like that). Expect intermittent pictures of my niece being adorable for the next week or so.
Merry Christmas and all the rest!

“First impressions: My goodness, that is a lot of dwarves! And they sure do enjoy...”
– I didn’t actually watch the trailer for the new Hobbit/Lord of the Rings movie this reaction was based on, because I mean, …hobbits.
But I thought I’d put it up for Tall Megan who for whatever reason appreciates this kind of thing. It’s just so ridiculously nerdy I...

Can you believe we’re halfway through December? No, check that, can you believe we’re two weeks away from 2012?
My friend Phil recently said he feels like 2011 was a set-up year, building the foundation for a bunch of great stuff to come in 2012. I hope he’s right. I feel like I’ve been laying a lot of groundwork in both my professional and my personal life, and it would...

The Hairpin: A Clean Person's Holiday Gift Guide →
I either own or want everything on this list.
Last year, my sister and brother-in-law gave me these for my birthday (I mean, among other things), and I was ecstatic.

Yes.
Reader Dave had a few suggestions to add for the nixed “District 12” nail polish colors. They include:
“Electric (fence) Blue” ? “Black as a collapsed mine” ? “I’ve been in love with you my entire life but now I face the prospect of savagely murdering you in cold blood with my bare hands Peach” ?
That black shade sounds...

'Hunger Games' nail polish nixed →
I so want to know the names they’d come up with for the District 12 polishes. I’m thinking…
“You’ll Never Get Out Alive Olive” ?
“Poor People Pallor” ?
“Gray Skies Greige” ?
“All Hail President Snow” ?
…The squabble started a few weeks ago when American International Industries, producers of the...

A pretty girl at the movies alone
Can you get dumped by a friend?
A few weeks back, I emailed a friend to see if he wanted to go a movie screening taking place this past Sunday. We’ve known each other since college, but only see one another sporadically. He moved to New York a couple years ago from Delaware, where he decamped to right after graduation, but living in different boroughs and holding down very different jobs ...

I feel like I should take this blog out for a special lunch just the two of us and have a heart-to-heart talk about how even though I’ve clearly been devoting far more attention and energy to my other blog lately, I still love this blog very much, and would never pick one over the other. Because let’s be honest; there’s a lot of reblogging going on here lately, and some days...

Lauer out, Seacrest in?? →
I am extremely against this.
NBCUniversal is pursuing “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest as a possible successor to Matt Lauer on the “Today” show, if Mr. Lauer vacates his co-anchor seat next year, said people close to the company…
I'm not at all sure how
But I just banged my *chin* on my bathroom door frame. Hard.
And good night!
What's your best New Year's Eve memory?
The spectaculary terrible-looking New Year’s Eve comes out later this month, and I’m already harboring irrational feelings of rage towards it. Expect seemingly jaded characters to spew pithy one-liners about the “overrated” holiday and complain about how much “pressure” is put on the night to be amazing…only to inevitably fall hopelessly in love, sealing...

Happy December! I’m more than ready for it to be the holiday season - if not my favorite time of the year (early fall occupies that place in my heart), then at least a close second. My sister got the Justin Bieber Christmas album, which I unabashedly burned at Thanksgiving, and my decorations are up. So all I’m saying is, I’m feeling pretty festive. Which is apparent over on...
