Somehow, we managed to explore four parks in one day after both Universal Parks the day before– superhuman powers, I think. #1 Hollywood Studios: We left the dog, Jules, at the kennel here. They require you to come walk her twice a day, and she gets to stay in an air conditioned kennel twice the… read on >

Orlando Part 1: Universal Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios
There was a line to get into some more lines to get into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. This is the entrance above, which I thought I would never reach in the blazing heat. I recommend finding each place where water spews out, and running in it with the children while you walk the… read on >
Bravo Moves to D.C. For the Summer
Top Chef D.C.: Did Alex steal the pea puree or not? I guess we’ll never know (despite the fact that they film the whole show). He seems like a possible douchelord of the day after his latest aggressive antics, and possibly for his poor taste in glasses. Last season of Top Chef had front-runners the… read on >

Mint Nails FTW
I am OBSESSED with my mint nail polish. I bought it about two months ago and have been wearing it since then. You can find Revlon’s Minted color at places like CVS or Walgreens, and it’s merely $5. I get compliments every time I wear it, and the color is a must-have once you start… read on >

Ben Folds & Nick Hornby Collaborate on Lonely Avenue
Nick Hornby, one of my favorite authors (About a Boy, High Fidelity, A Long Way Down), collaborated with Ben Folds to create an album. Hornby wrote the lyrics, Folds wrote and sang the music, and then voila, an album named Lonely Avenue. The album should be released around September 28th, and while it seems unusual… read on >
Andrew Bird
I go through phases of music obsession, and currently my Andrew Bird obsession is returning. Although he hasn’t released an album in a year, his last album, titled Noble Beast, is pretty much amazing. He produced it himself. His other albums are good too, especially The Mysterious Production of Eggs and Armchair Apocrypha. I think… read on >

Find Your Next Sundress
I learned today that dark jeans in summer are never a good choice. I don’t know why it took me so long to realize this, but as I sat in my car driving home hot and sad, it hit me. If I buy more dresses, the less I will have to suffer through this new… read on >
