Soda-pop-a-go-go

Monday, November 16, 2009

Well, friends, my brain is about to fall out. I have spent all afternoon smashing my head against my exam list, and then all evening doing the reading for seminar this week, and I have some reading on British cultural history to do before bedtime, but I think it’s time for a soda pop break! [...]

DONUT-INFUSED COFFEE.

Sunday, March 1, 2009

IT IS TRUE. IT EXISTS. What is driving me crazy, though, is that last week sometime, I had a conversation with someone that went kind of like this: “Did you hear? Intelligentsia is opening up this new, excessively-pretentious-sounding store in Venice. With hydraulic pods or some shit.” “Really? Wow. I heard there’s some place where [...]

Dear Intelligentsia Coffee,

Thursday, February 19, 2009

It is very nice that you are opening up a pretentious new location in Venice with fancy hydrolic pods or something, but please will you open a store in West Hollywood in the empty storefont near my house. I will give you hundreds of dollars.  Thank you. Love, Alexandra Dear office computer, It has taken [...]

And also I presented some conference papers.  And spent a respectable amount of time wearing leopard print.

I’d like to stay and try my first champagne

Thursday, September 18, 2008

I bought fifteen yards of orange chiffon and then made curtains.  They are lovely.  And orange.  And chiffony.  And on Friday we’re going to the Singalong Sound of Music at the Hollywood Bowl!  I have decided to dress up as drunk Liesel.  This will involve wearing a dress and drinking (cheap) champagne out of a [...]

Awesome things I should tell you about before I forget!

Monday, September 8, 2008

1.  I am going to the Chris Leavins Story Hour!  Amazing! 2.  The other day, Cute Earnest Barista was like, “Hey, you should come to this show we’re having next week!  I think you’d really like it!” which either means that Cute Earnest Barista likes me, or that Cute Earnest Barista is worried that nobody [...]
