- Chelsea is going to be a ghost town this weekend during these shows
- awww, I love pregaming with uber fun ‘mos
- how do I always end up at shows for comics whom I know very little about?
- OMG JOAN RIVERS! She has about as many original parts as dolph lundgren’s character did in ‘johnny mnemonic’, but even this incarnation of her is a national treasure
- why am I such a sucker for montages? Wow, Kathy has really done a lot of cool stuff. And that Eminem video for real the slim shady still holds up in terms of utter randomness
- dude, why was she never on 6 feet under? It would have been incredible!
- oh snap, she made fun of deaf people. teddy’s gonna be maaaaaad.
- brb, I am currently pee’ing myself as I recall her impression of Snooki re: their grammy’s red carpet chat about bumpits and boyfriends
- this is actually pretty gd funny
- omg, these stories about her mom cursing at her and drinking boxed wine are hilarious. me and dad could TOTALLY have our own show. though obviously my dad would be kathy griffin and I would be drinking boxed wine.
- I think me and her have similar reactions to life’s poignant moments (aka fear and humor as a defense mechanism)
- wow, she gets freaked out around famous people just like me
- um. Has anyone noticed that she talks EXACTLY like sean?
- it’s great that Kathy is doing law & order, but I really need her on CSI vegas
- she is making fun of oprah and celine dion. I think she is officially my hero.
- it is highly unlikely that I will ever stop laughing at the oprah impression
- it’s really refreshing when an LA celeb shows genuine love and affection for nyc
- it must be really hard for her to be friends with susanne somers without making mr. roper jokes all the time
- I still can’t wrap my head around her doing new years shows for cnn. they were kinda asking for it.
- whoa, 2 hours and I was still laughing. Kathy, I heart you!
Fun review: Kathy griffin @ msg 2.18.10 February 19, 2010
Possible signature drinks in honor of the groundbreaking television experience that is gossip girl February 12, 2010
- the vapid whore (a stupid, overly simple drink with promiscuous ingredients. Vodka and simple syrup)
- the dan hump-rye
- Dorota’s Apron (a quiet and respectable low alcohol drink designed to help one keep one’s composure while quietly plotting world domination and perhaps similar to a sloe gin fizz)
- the headbander (whiskey sour with a twist)
- Rufus’ DUMBO (a drink marketed to be ‘edgy’ and from the wrong side of the tracks, but in reality is fancy and too expensive for median income consumption)
- i’m chuck bass (a beer cocktail mixing Bass beer and champagne)
- the queen bee (you guessed it, a honey cocktail!)
- the asscot (cognac, seltzer, a splash of scotch, ginger ale)
- the GG Cocktail (dirty show meets dirtiest work in the english language that isn’t a curse. Basically, a dirty martini)
- the Serena (a tequila based drink resulting in bad life choices)
- the Vanessa (a drink that looks stupid but tastes…stupid. I don’t know what’s in it, because I would never drink it)
- the Jenny (a fairly weak drink but garnished with narcotics)
- the subway (aka water. a completely nonexistent drink since no one on this show seems to have ever seen a train despite being nyc lifers)
- tights aren’t pants (a drink that pretends to be practical, acts like it’s comfortable but classy, but is really just downright trampy. Aka, a sake bomb)
- the plot thickens (aka an alcoholic milkshake. Completely childish, stupid, wrong, nonsensical, and beyond awesome)
Things that are cool about being 30 February 11, 2010
- old people still think I’m young
- particularly the old men at the irish rover who find me precious
- instead of being in my LATE 20s I’m in my EARLY 30s which just sounds nicer
- my friends are not boring so I still get to live young
- I love even numbers
- I have a numerically valid reason for avoiding bars in NYU territory
- I am still at the median age for my local hipster bar
- I am far enough below the curve in terms of domesticity, that I can play it off as being ‘low maintenance’ and ‘a conscious choice’
- I am old enough to date politicians and oil magnates without it being a huge scandal
- I’m unequivocally a woman and not a girl which justifies a slightly overzealous approach to handbag shopping
- I can now say that I have been a beastie boys fan for exactly half of my life and a keanu fan for three quarters of my life
- I am a force to be reckoned with at restaurants, since my tastes are firmly established
- the bands I listen to have been around long enough to place me in the younger age bracket of concert going demographics
- since I will not be seeing vampire weekend live again
- fun, but poor life choices never go out of style

Reasons I Love Lisa February 10, 2010
A guest blog in tribute to my dearest Lisa on a completely random day. There is absolutely no reason I’m doing this list today, promise. Completely random. I just love her so much.
1. She writes the best haikus
2. She loves pie. As someone who loves pie’s distant cousin, cake, I can totally relate.
3. She makes amazing french toast (still bothered by the fact that she doesn’t eat it).
4. She talks about how great my hair is…like all the time.
5. I like the way you combs your hair.
6. I like the stylish clothes you wear.
7. It’s just the little things you do.
8. That make me want to get with you. (sorry, creepy, but that song has been in my head for the last 5 minutes).
9. She sends a good postcard.
10. When you get her riled up she’ll insult your sexuality.
11. And probably insult the orifice you most commonly use as a sexual being.
12. She writes great lists
13. To this day, I have never had a hangover as fun as the one with her.
14. She knows where the best sandwiches are.
15. She likes great beer.
16. She’s Mr. Pibb’s biggest fan.
17. She makes me laugh all the time…and sometimes pee my pants.
18. She loves the Mets and as a fan of a losing baseball team, I can relate.
19. She has an uber comfortable bed.
20. So many things that I want to say, you know I like my girls a little bit older. I don’t want to lose your love tonight.
Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji urodzin Lisa! Sto Lat!
Kocham Cie,
Tsvel Kuzyn Tadziu (Gay Cousin Ted)
liveblogging the season premiere of Lost February 2, 2010
btdubs – i’ve never watched the show before
- Matthew Fox should stop flying. it’s just not fair to the rest of the passengers on the plane
- that guy is talking during the show. that is soooooo not allowed
- the first rule of Lost night is that you don’t talk during Lost night.
- the word buoyant is funny
- people on planes share a lot. no wonder i don’t like flying.
- makes you wonder, what would you say to someone who just died an hour ago
- man, if there was a show with like, Lost meets CSI…i would never leave the house again
- btw, the csi vegas team would’ve figured this out hours ago
- its really funny when that guy talks about television
- um. why are they using the song ‘more than a feeling’ in a commercial
- how in the name of god is that woman alive? she was clutching a bomb
- when did this show turn into the movie ‘the Mummy’
- number one sign of bad acting: the in pain sounds are exactly the same as the sex sounds
- bloody people kissing is totally gross
- ugh, there are way too many feelings on this show
- i feel unhappy just looking at these people
- matthew fox looks like a hot science teacher that you never really understand, but would totally bang anyways
- i HATE when people call other people ‘boss’
- wait. she died in an underground mine explosion and both her sneakers are still on? do any of the laws of physics apply? or does just calling it Lost make whatever ok?
- i wonder if the marketing folks ever thought to use the black smoke for an anti-smoking campaign? something like ‘i got the black smoke pops’.
- “under the milky way” is in car commercials now? oh good.
- hold up, no one is in the women’s bathroom after a flight from australia? don’t even get me started.
- YES, STOP CALLING HIM BOSS
- figures, a world of guitar cases and no guitars
- the music on this show is totally stupid. please someone help them.
- ugh, a magical island and there’s still kids
- the word coveralls is funny
- um. when someone says there are risks, wouldn’t the correct response be ‘what are the risks’?
- damn. everyone on this show has to watch the people they love die like 17 times.
- ok, i am enjoying the show, but everything they say reminds me why i don’t do yoga
- where do these people get the guns from?
- omg, i really want to be there when rachel has kids and tries to explain this show to them
