4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days...
…is how long it will take me to get un-depressed from having watched that movie. That said: Go see it. Go see it because it’s amazing, and it needs to be seen, and not just because it’s controversial (but that’s most definitely a good reason). Go see it because it employs an impressive and effective subtlety on the part of the actors, the director, the screenwriter, and...

WatchWatch the speedy prowess of my French Bulldog, Dumbledore, as he victoriously fetches a tennis ball. PS. Note the cloud of dust when he reaches the ball. That’s my favorite part.

My Boyfriend Was A Kicker. →
“What about the kicker? Among athletes, kickers are considered the ladies of the team. They don’t have to work as hard as other people. They’re fragile, and so much of it’s mental. To a certain level, a big lineman guy—he’s doing a good job if he knocks another guy over. A kicker is doing a good job if he overcomes his emotions and fears and is able to concentrate. So...

This Guy Sounds Like A Real Gem →
What is it about athletes? What is it about sports, in general?? I get that they’re entertaining to watch, and it allows for people to feel like they’re a part of something bigger, but these athletes, these men are not GODS. They’re human. And they’re fallible, and they should be judged as such. Reading about this dirtbag Jerramy (SERIOUSLY?) Stevens makes me sick to my...

And One More Thing
I need a Step IX in My Spiritual Journey, so, if anyone has any ideas, please feel free send them my way. Actually, I’m kind of desperate, so I’m kind of begging you. Ideas! Please!

Review To Come
I am almost done watching Four Months, Three Weeks, and Two Days. I can pretty much guarantee that I’ll highly recommend it, but for the sake of formality, I’m going to wait. I’d also post a review on Bush’s State of the Union, except I don’t really have anything to say. Except, well, thank GOD it was the last one.

I have more posts up at Style Dose. Go see. And yes, I’m going to keep posting about them as they go up. It will never get old. For me, at least.

An Appeal:
If there is anyone (and I mean anyone) out there who reads this, can you please e-mail me? I’d appreciate it even more so if I didn’t know you. I know this sounds desperate, but I think we’re way past playing it cool. Honestly, I’m just curious. You don’t even have to say anything. You could be strange and mysterious and just write ellipses or something. Maybe...

What I Ate Today
1 (cold) Quinoa Taco from Snack Dragon, leftover from last night. (And no, I did not go out last night, but Nick may or may not be obsessed with Snack Dragon, and when I asked him to bring me one taco, he brought me ten. No Joke. He ordered “two of each kind”, including Quinoa. Oh well.) Even cold and kind of crusty, those things are delicious. 1/2 jar of Queso, 1/2 jar of Salsa and...

…donate some of your extra cash to the peeps in Cambodia. My friend Jenny is running in a 10K fundraiser there, and she could use the sponsorship. You can even pick where the money goes! I picked Child Protection & Education. If you choose to donate, which I think you should, make sure to put the donation “ON BEHALF OF: JENNIFER WINSTANLEY”. She’s also got a great blog...

The Waverly Inn Floods! →
Maybe it was the dirty martini I drank, coupled with the red wine, and topped with the glass of champagne, but I don’t remember a flood. Also, um, hello Page Six? I’m pretty sure I’m a bold-faced name. I’m just sayin’.

Back From Florida...
…And I’ve got big news. That I can’t tell you about yet. But in the meantime, I’m working on my spirituality post for tomorrow. And I’m late / procrastinating / tired, as usual. But with regards to my last post, I wish we had a Wal-Mart in Manhattan. A Wal-Mart that charged non-Manhattan prices. First of all, it’s open 24 hours and it has to be the BIGGEST...

I'm Generation Me →
I’m going to have to agree that all this Facebooking and Bloggery and MySpace-ism most DEFINITELY makes me more narcissistic. It makes me think that people might actually care what I did with my day, where I’m going for dinner, and what my dog looks like. But hey, to that point, some people DO actually care, so what does that say? Via (once again) Jezebel.

Why I Hate American Apparel... →
…And swear DAILY to never shop there again. Except for that purple hoodie. And that new v-neck tee. Or those must-have teal jeans. Ugh, Dov Charney, Why must you make me feel so DIRTY? Bottom Line? Jezebel.com says it much better than I ever can.

Chloe Sevigny in BlackBook →
I really like Chloe Sevigny. And I don’t know why. Sometimes I think she has to be one of the coolest, most down to earth (for a celebrity) people in the world. And then sometimes I think if I met her, I’d hate her and think she was ridiculously pretentious. Regardless, this is a great interview my friend (via my sister) Mike Ruffino did with her for BlackBook Mag, and it just made me...

Aside from feeling remarkably prolific today (Have you seen how many posts I’ve done? This has to be a record!), I’m also feeling very fabulous, as I’m having dinner at the Waverly tonight with other fabulous HuffPo girls - Anya, Lesley and Liz. Although, now I’m feeling less fabulous and more dorky, as I’m probably the only one blogging about it. Oh well. Those...

Let Me Count The Ways
I like Tumblr. I like it a lot. It also makes me understand why I will never be an internet bajillionaire. Mainly because, if someone came to me and said, “We’ve got this great new idea! We’re going to come up with a site called Tumblr, and it’s just like a blog, except not”, I’d laugh in their face. Well, look who’s laughing now. (Hint: It’s not...
