Dear Chris,

Wednesday, January 30, 2008

You look so super cute in your white suit. It breaks my heart that I did not spend this evening with you/that you did not book a bigger theatre. Your number one fangirl, Alexandra

Hey you guys! I got to chill with Spock!

Tuesday, January 29, 2008

So, tonight I was going to sit around the apartment drinking hot chocolate and feeling sorry for myself, I mean, feeling TRULY FANTASTIC, but then I found out that Leonard Nimoy and Natalie Angier were speaking at the Hammer. Yes, that Leonard Nimoy. And yes, that Natalie Angier, whose name has been butchered by many [...]

I don’t like learning about the French anymore. And, also, I might be kind of stupid. Possibly I shall quit my Ph.D. program and become a busker on Venice beach. Possibly a player of flaming ukuleles.* Possibly, possibly. *If you had been with me and Tanya on Venice beach a couple of weeks ago, you, [...]

Things that are currently awsome:

Monday, January 28, 2008

1. David Duchovny wants you to adopt a puppy. No, really! Doesn’t this just make you feel kind of fuzzy and awkward inside? 2. FINALLY. Great works of philosophy explained, courtesy of The Pirates!

Birthday, thoughts on.

Monday, January 28, 2008

It is my birthday in a week and a day. That’s weird. I’m not very good at birthdays. Apparently people throw parties for their birthdays. I have not had a birthday party since I was maybe eleven, because I feel kind of weird and awkward asking people to pay attention to me and celebrate the [...]

Two important things I have said recently in e-mails to Tanya:

Friday, January 25, 2008

(Or: quotations that will cement my future status as a Great Woman of Letters.) 1. “I went to Sephora today to get some foundation and I HATE THAT STORE. I go there and I feel really overwhelmed and stupid because I don’t know anything about makeup and tend to get whatever has a cute, gimmicky [...]

How to ingratiate yourself to your classmates and make Marxism class more interesting:

Wednesday, January 23, 2008

1. Inform them about Marx’s little skin condition. Yes. Boils. Marx had boils all over his body. That’s probably the most important fact one can know about Marxism, that right there. Announce that your new favourite quotation is “The bourgeoisie will remember my carbuncles until their dying day.” 2. Bring red velvet cupcakes to share [...]

Soon, my darlings, soon!

Tuesday, January 22, 2008

Soon there will be a blog post! Soon there will be replies to the millions of emails and blog comments that I need to reply to! Soon! I’ve put tonight aside as “catch up on interweb socializing” night. But in the meanwhilst . . . Tanya visited me in Los Angeles! Look at how charming [...]

Dear Chris Leavins and the Internet,

Tuesday, January 15, 2008

Ok, firstly. I am not entirely unconvinced that the current saga that is playing out on Cute With Chris is not, in fact, part of some conspiracy of your own design, part of your elaborate plot to take over the world with, you know, amazingness. Is there a Rhonda? I remain suspicious. However, I do [...]

How should I deal with my issues?

Tuesday, January 15, 2008

1. Anti-depressants? or 2. More alcohol? Clearly substances are the only way. This just in: The Dorothy Parker-like persona that I have been actively cultivating over the past couple of years suddenly isn’t very much fun anymore.
