Yesterday my mother called. I pulled myself out of depression long enough to have an “I’m doing fine” conversation with her. Giving her any indication of my present situation, mentally and physically, would have had her out here in minutes and me on my way to the local loony bin. Not a pleasant option.
“How is [...]
As summer comes to a close, I can’t help but feel a bit of nostalgia over the, ‘last days of life’, as I would refer to it as a bratty, braces-clad, sun-drenched teen. Returning to the monotonous-drum of school after nearly three months of freedom was hard for any teen, but especially hard for a [...]
I just got word via Rolling Stone Magazine that MGMT is working on their new album. The eighteen-year-old girl inside of me is screaming and shedding an obsessive tear of excitement right now. Oracular Spectacular was my favorite album for six months straight until my boyfriend, best friend, neighbor and I-Pod banned me from it [...]
Most of us have seen Point Break, right? If not, I can recap it in a few simple words. Keanu Reeves: FBI agent/surfer dude. Patrick Swayze: Zen Surfer/Bank Robber.
This might be one of the best pieces of shit ever–with Patrick Swayze spewing out “enlightened” comments, and Keanu Reeves saying truly [...]
It seems we’re all on a budget these days, and finding cheap things to do around town–or, better yet, free things–is a definite plus. A city the size of Los Angeles brings a slew of free entertainment, both good and bad.
Jazz night on Fridays at the LACMA tops the list of [...]
Although I’m likely to break an ankle in the process of sporting these, I’m fully prepared to rock the platform pump this fall. Lucky for us, designers at every price point are looking to get you in a pair of these too. Here’s a list of some of our favorites so [...]
GOODNIGHT SEVERANCE–
The homepage for the State of California’s Employment Development Department laughs in my face. Lets just call it what it is. You’re a joke that can’t hold a job and has to rely upon the government to survive. UNEMPLOYMENT CHECKS. There, I said it. “To file a claim start here.” I can’t believe I’m [...]
Any comedy troupe that produced the likes of Amy Poehler, Adam McKay, and Horatio Sanz must be legit. The Upright Citizens Brigade is an improv comedy troupe founded in Chicago in 1990, which has since moved cities and now boasts Hollywood and New York locales.
Last weekend I experienced my first [...]
I recently discovered this cozy little hideaway tucked in the quiet strip of Melrose between Doheny and Robertson in West Hollywood. And let’s just say I’m slightly ecstatic with this find.
Deep booths and chalkboards with the daily specials line the walls of this dimly lit restaurant, leaving a feel of [...]
I love plaid. Not mid-90’s flannel plaid, but good, button-up, cotton plaid. It’s simple, preppy-chic at its finest.
But, for some reason, so much good plaid is done bad. And bad plaid is scary. Like “I just ingested road kill and my sister is also my cousin” scary.
And, for some reason, the [...]
