Picture this: You’re Matt Lauer. You’re feeling pretty good about that. I mean, YOU ARE MATT FREAKING LAUER. You shave, you get dressed, and you go to work, which today involves interviewing THE once-talented-it-girl-turned-total-hot-mess of the moment and you are all pumped up to ask the hard questions, and maybe…just maybe…get some well-lit mascara soaked tears in the process. But… Read more →

Summer Travels When You CAN’T Just Pick Up and Go.
It‘s kind of like a trunki for grownups. I mean, even though I have a full set of luggage that Scott and I share for the wedding, there’s something about this case that SCREAMS Business Traveler. Either that or “I implement my odd sense of humor into even my travel gear.” {more accurate.} At any rate, I totally freakin’ want… Read more →
Close Eyes, Hit Play, Smile.
My sometimes writing partner/always friend Eric {I like to call it an open-writing-marriage} sends me hilarious pick me ups pretty much on the regular. Having trouble getting motivated today? Me too. But I’ve got my eye on the prize, and I’m getting amped up to come out swinging. EFFING SWINGING M*THERFUCKERS!!!! Read more →
KaBoom June Gloom.
I don’t know about the rest of the world (because I’m way to lazy to look up a weather report) but the first week or two of June leading up to the official start of summer here in LA are notoriously gloomy. And I know a lot of you have been getting pounded by tornadoes which does not sound like… Read more →
Dammit.
…And that’s why you brush your hair and put on makeup even if you’re running late for your DMV appointment. Because otherwise? You end up having to show THAT jaundiced lunatic of a picture to every power tripping security guard in the Western Hemisphere as your official state ID. FOR.EV.VER. Do you think the girl behind the counter that day… Read more →
Oh, Behave.
1. Wayne Brady 2. Gordon Ramsay (I told you how he told me to behave, right?) 3. Judd Nelson in 1985…but not in 1985 because I was four, so he’d have to time travel to now, and if we’re time traveling then I for sure have to include ~ 4. Michael Schoeffling circa 1984, but also time traveling to today. … Read more →
Dudes: I totally went to the Idol Finale.
So, if you follow me on Twitter (which uh…if you don’t, I can wait while you go ahead and click over) then you may have noticed that I WAS LIVE AT THE AMERICAN IDOL FINALE AND AFTER PARTY LAST NIGHT BITCHESSSS. (To be clear, I’m not calling you guys bitches, I’m just using the slang to make myself feel bad… Read more →
I have this thing for Wood.
Ever since I reorganized my files and did it in an color-coordinated and aesthetically pleasing way, I realized that keeping my work space clear and zen is INCREDIBLY helpful to my productivity when there are three people running around my house gossiping about Valley Jewish Geography/Singing the Sesame Street Song at the Top of their lungs/Building Sandboxes ten feet from… Read more →
I made you a mix tape.
I made this effing nightmare from hell widget for a director I’m currently hoping to woo. But it came out pretty awesome right? And it was HARD to do. So, now it’s a blog post! Happy Hump Day ~ hope you’re somewhere that you can rock out! Read more →
Sick.
Since the first week of February, our three person (well, two plus one tiny) household has endured a total of four rounds of antibiotics, three ear infections, two bouts of food poisoning, one helluva car wreck leading to broken rib that was already cracked thanks to one case of asthmatic bronchitis leading to the resurrection of childhood asthma that’s been… Read more →
