It Is Not Just You
“is it just me, or is there sort of a joan jett vibe going on here…??”
Is a question I just received on Tumblr and get often. I quite deliberately brought a pic of Joan and a picture of Aerosmith from 1970-something to my hairdresser and said, “Give me a hybrid of these two cuts.” That’s the story. Nothing else to see here.

She was half-kidding. Posing the question as I’d imagine a mom in the 60s would ask if I was a “drug smoker of grass” or not, as a bit. Made me laugh when I heard it.
I called her back and said the conversation would be way more in line with the current climate if it was the year 2003. Maybe as…
I love this. I was labeled “alt” too when I started but I started...

…discussing the other most important “Dick” Clark in America. Also this video gives me a boner. I miss you, President Bill.

Here’s something that’s annoyed me… at some point in the 48 hours since it premiered on Sunday night, the reaction to Lena Dunham’s new show Girls has turned exceptionally nasty. Not “Hey, I didn’t like this show” nasty, but more like “I’m going to use Facebook and Tumblr and Twitter to tear…
Thanks for writing Alex! I say that dudes who have opinions like this are...
A Confession About The Kind of Person I Really Am
I am very organized. I file receipts. My home is spotlessly clean. I do not save emails. I keep a schedule. I brush my teeth four times a day. I floss TWICE a day.
But
I THINK I am the type of person who has a neat purse. But I am finally ready to admit that I DO NOT.
I start EVERY morning and say, “Today it’s going to be different” as I put my cell phone in the little...

You guys - this tumblr and new posts will be missed. Hillary #4life
textsfromhillaryclinton
It’s been an overwhelming—and hilarious—week for us here at Texts from Hillary (TFH). What started as a joke at the bar between two friends turned into a national conversation about Secretary Clinton and went as far as talks about 2016. After a week that included 32 posts, 83,000 shares on…
I'm "Half" Feeling Silly That I'm Name-Checked...
…. in this article when I have nothing to do with Two and a Half Men, absolutely no beef with the show. I just thought it would be funny and obnoxious on Twitter to bombard one of the showrunners with period humor. I am not successful at all in terms of having my own show - so I guess that’s why it doesn’t matter at all that I do it. It’s silly but I kind of enjoy that...
Whenever....
I write kind of a from the hip/heart and other body parts blog post like the one I wrote last night I always feel badly. I was not TRAUMATIZED by the bartender - merely annoyed at how dudes treat ladies and most people when talking to people who work in entertainment, assume you’re struggling and need suggestions like “Why don’t you go on Saturday Night Live?”
Then this...
hookersorcake asked: Your writing piece on NYC was hilarious! The way you kept talking about yourself and all your accomplishments, bordering on pathological, almost like that Gilly character on SNL... If you hadn't made the bartender character so stunningly juvenile I woulda fell for it. The wrap up ending rant how men are pigs and everyone wants you romantically and how its just so doggone hard being such an...
I Was Alone At a Bar....
I’ve been in New York City for the past ten days on a writing retreat. I used to live here (‘98 to ‘02) and NYC has always felt like home to me. I hated living here when I did but I was young and stupid and oh, who cares. But it’s a great place to visit - especially when the weather is bad and it’s not tempting to want to be outside. It feels good just to be in a...
