I just spent a very lovely (and very hot) weekend in Boston, visiting a dear friend from college and her family. (Her son just turned two and I only this weekend met him! We fell instantly in love, obvs.) Between small-town 4th of July parades, a busy morning at the Museum of Science and evening ...
Past, Present, Future
When I graduated college, my grandparents got me a diamond necklace. A modest pendant of three diamonds evenly spaced on a vertical silver bar, I can still remember standing on my front porch where we'd gathered after the ceremony for lunch, my Grandma handing me the small box. "It's nothing, ...
One Spectacular Film
The Spectacular Now is more than meets the eye, and frankly, that's what makes it so great. I didn't get to see much at Sundance back in January - I was anchored to the Press Office from 8a to 6p every day, managing volunteers, seeing that press got their tickets and screeners, that publicists ...
To tip or not to tip?
When I was deciding between two apartments in NYC, one in Manhattan and one in Fort Greene, I had a lot to consider. Did I want a view of the skyline from a fifth floor studio, or did I want to be in the skyline from the 15th floor? That kinda thing. Though the apartments were very similar, one ...
10 Movies in 20 Minutes
As we watch the opening weekends of so many summer blockbusters zip by like lightpoles outside your car window on the highway, I'm keenly keeping an eye on the films slated for the second half of the year, a time typically known for its weightier titles. Several trailers have popped up recently ...
The Lowland
My first week in New York, I barely left my apartment. My days were filled with unpacking, figuring out ways to fit my entire life into 200 square feet. By my second week, though, I began venturing out more purposefully. I wandered to different neighborhoods, my metro card getting me to Brooklyn, ...
Saturday Morning in Central Park
I'm fairly certain I can't write anything new about Central Park. Every poet as rhymed it, every romantic has dreamed it. It really is everything you've heard about it: sprawling, diverse, alive with both nature and the city it serves. This weekend, I found myself wandering the Park in search of ...
Cilantro Lime Chicken Soft Tacos
It's only recently that I've started putting together simple dishes in my new (and very small) kitchen. Pasta salad. Mac and cheese dolled up with broccoli and chicken. Nothing fancy. My main priorities are that it's cheap to piece together and perfect for leftover lunches throughout the ...
An eleven
At the end of the day yesterday, the company president at the new gig stopped by my desk (when you're a staff of 12 that's not such an odd occurrence) and asked how my week was going so far. "Scale of one to ten," he said. Please. Without missing a beat, I replied, "It's an eleven." He ...
Dynamite in the Water
I just read the sad news that Hollywood icon Esther Williams passed away today. She was 91. The loss of classic film stars is inevitable, I realize. But I am truly saddened by Ms. Williams' passing. She was a unique gem in Hollywood of any era, with a calling card that set her apart from any ...
