Wine wear
Recently, my mom bought one of these witchy little gals: In case you can’t tell from the picture, this is a little witch outfit you can put on a wine bottle. How did I never realize that wine bottles can also be dolls? As a kid, I had … Continue reading
Mellow fruitlessness
I am enjoying the autumn-esque nature of this rainy weather. (Especially since I know it will be sunny and in the low seventies again over the weekend.) Thick sweaters, tights, boots. Pumpkin spice lattes. And, of course, fall decor. (Warning, headline contains the word motherf***er.) Since McSweeney’s told me to, I decided to make some … Continue reading
Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of Hollywood. Maybe.
I had a big, emotional weekend. So emotional that I’m going to skip right over it all for now and talk about it later. For now, Kevin Spacey! At the Curran! In Richard III! Thank goodness Martina told me about this or I would never have known, probably. I will admit that the publicity shots … Continue reading

This is random, but I found this lady’s video of her home birth online today. As someone who has considered having kids someday, I found it incredibly comforting. Because it’s really, really boring. No one swears or yells at anyone, nothing is loud, and she’s very calm. And that’s impressive, considering a) she is birthin’, and … Continue reading
Island Living
Much as primitive man used to do, I fear the approach of winter. And so, just as primitive man would, I feel driven to paint my kitchen furniture in cheery colors before the sun leaves us for the year. Some of you may have seen the kickass kitchen island which Adam picked up for us … Continue reading

Erin: “Maybe we should all come back to your place and hang out on Thursday instead of going to a restaurant.” Kris: “That sounds good. More mellow.” Erin: “Do you guys have any fun games here?” Kris and Gene laugh a lot. Kris: “Oh, yes.” Gene: “We have Magic: The Gathering!” Erin: “…” Kris: “And … Continue reading
Library sale!
If there is one thing I miss the most about San Francisco, it’s living three blocks away from the 22 line. The 22 line, as of course you know, takes you from the Castro to Fort Mason. And Fort Mason, as you also know, is where the annual SF Library Book Sale is held. Now, … Continue reading
