West Hollywood, I love you!

1. So, today I was going to go the West Hollywood Book Fair, for two main reasons – one, to hear Jessica Abel speak and two, to make fun of Wil Wheaton for still riding on his TNG fame, only, this just in, I’m a crazyface, and the book fair is actually tomorrow. Well, oops. [...]

Dear Everyone,

No need to thank me, or anything, but tonight I invented a recipe for rootbeer cupcakes, complete with melty icing that looks and tastes like the ice cream that melts over the top of the glass when you get a rootbeer float. And calories shmalories, because I burned them all off in the baking process [...]

Misc.

So, turns out there is a band called the Barbarellatones. This is both good news and bad news. The good news is that there is a band called the Barbarellatones. The bad news is that I should have thought of the name first, because my band called the Barbarellatones would have been girl group meets [...]

Dearest Rufus Wainwright,

That was completely and utterly transcendent and amazing. That was the happiest few hours of my life. I think it was the happiest few hours in the lives of everyone who was there tonight. The karma inside the Hollywood Bowl was amazing. There was some dude wandering around the area where I was sitting giving [...]

The actual title of this post won’t fit in the space allotted

Things towards which I harbour an unreasonable amount of animosity, but that I am considering possibly becoming more open minded about in order to become a more well-rounded and less embittered individual: 1. Dating 2. Organized group activities 3. Babies 4. Small dogs 5. Broccoli (although I am making headway and can now consume broccoli [...]

Two things:

1. Because inquiring minds wanted to know, you can see what my apartment looks like over at my Flickr page. 2. I have been secretly blogging over at my new blog about L.A. that exists for the purpose of telling my mom what I’m up to but haven’t told anyone yet, but I’m telling you [...]

Why did we leave that party early?

1. Such an astounding concentration of douchebaggery in one tiny-little grad student housing apartment can be so overwhelming. 2. These conditions could have be mitigated somewhat had I been roaring drunk – unfortunately, two tiny glasses of wine and a cookie consumed at the mixer earlier in the evening doth not a roaring drunk make. [...]

Dear Everyone,

I just wanted to let you all know that I have bought a ukelele. I feel that I am now about 35% closer to achieving my dream of becoming a world renowned rockstar and iconoclast. I am also fielding applications from anyone who would like to start some kind of uke/new wave fusion band. Love,Alexandra

Oh, X-Files.

I have discovered that there is a television channel here that screens X-Files all night on Monday nights from 11:00 until, like 6:00 in the morning, which is pretty much a really great invention. They are also just screening random episodes in what appears to be no particular order, so it’s like X-Files surprise grab [...]

Oh, marvelous!

I am coming to you today, not from my apartment, but from the apartment just across from my apartment. Why? I will tell you. Because there is a major electrical problem in my kitchen so they’ve put me in this apartment for the next few days while they go in through the walls and fix [...]
