Spring Cleaning

Ok, so I’m cleaning up my blog roll a bit – I’ve gotten rid of all of the dead links and links to people who haven’t posted since, like, 2006.  I know a lot of you have moved and are blogging at new venues and I have failed at keeping on top of things, so [...]

Sandwiches

Are you on twitter? If so, you might be interested to know that Tanya and I have a new project going (as of about 1:00 am last night when I thought of it) called SANDWICHBLOG, wherein we are using twitter to tell you what kinds of sandwiches we eat. We have started this project because [...]

Dear Intelligentsia Coffee,

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 [...]

Burning question!

In honour of I AM GOING TO HAWAII IN JANUARY TO PRESENT PAPERS AND SEDUCE CABANA BOYS and also I AM GETTING PAID THIS WEEK, I have decided to finally get an Esther Williams swimsuit.  Esther Williams swimsuits have been the object of much covetousness on my part for some time. But should I get [...]

Well…good.

Oh, lord, the most ridiculous things happen to me.  Or rather, I tend to throw myself headlong into the most ridiculous situations without an apparent second thought. I can’t even talk about this.  It’s all too stupid.  I am still recovering from having just viewed Death Bed:  The Bed that Eats (the BEST FILM in [...]

IMPORTANT PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCMENT re: PIRATES

Friends, DID YOU KNOW that on facebook you can set your language setting to “English (Pirate)”? Now you know.  Now your life is about 73% better.  I know mine is. Yarrrr’s truly, Captain Xandra

Mermaids! X-Files! (What else is new?)

Oh, the internet is the greatest thing.  The internet allows me to transmit my hopes and dreams into a series of tubes, and then, on rare, sparkling occasions, actually finds people on the other end of those tubes who manage make my dreams come true.  Once upon a time, I said on this blog, “gee, [...]

Awesome things I should tell you about before I forget!

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 [...]

And then I died of plague.

I am back in Los Angeles, in a very pink room, which I think I am going to paint sky blue.  Being in this pink room is a vast improvement over the situation of two nights ago, wherin I was sleeping in the kitchen.  Yes, it’s true, I am that kind of lady.  Speaking of [...]
