I had a breakfast meeting that I somehow miraculously didn’t sleep through and it was with this dude who has real young kids. I was asking questions about the kids because I guess it’s fascinating to talk to men about their kids, kinda. They always love their children as much as they should or more, but they are a little more openly weirded the fuck out by them than most moms. Totally...

Pleasant memory: My ex-boyfriend ordered TimeWarner cable for the apartment we shared for six months after I graduated college. After we had a really nasty break up and he moved out, he left the cable box that neither of us planned on using. He told me to return it to TimeWarner. I didn’t feel like that was really my job, so I didn’t. Not returning a TimeWarner cable box is really bad...
I’m obsessed. It’s so campy and perfect. It’s a callback to the Britney era.

OK, so this morning I was walking back from Coffee Bean and “Blame It On The Alcohol” came on my iPod. I was thinking about it and I decided that that song is probably a forever jam. It has that vibe about it. It’s kinda funny, it’s dancey. It’s got what it needs to be played at weddings for all of eternity.
So I was thinking about that and then I was like, “If...
suburbandecay asked: Why the globe? There's video of Christmas 1990, when my then 6 year old sister received a globe. She screamed with joy usually reserved for My Little Pony or Skeletor's Castle. Do globes bring you such joy? We should all be so lucky.
chasingcoolness asked: Molls, I like the cut of your jib. Do you want to go out sometime? We can just hang out, drink a bunch and ride bumper cars and talk shit about old dudes at the batting cages. Or we can get some Orange Julius and talk about the mid-90s, whichever you think is better.

househuntinginparis asked: Not a question, just a link - found an AMAZING tote bag on ebay that looks like something you might rock since you seem to like cheesy vintage stuff: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200499601581
No, not my listing and no I won't be bidding on it (another tote bag is the last thing I need!) but gosh darn it those pockets are great.

missmarymackk asked: In a YouTube video of you and your momma around Christmas time where you ladies are discussing braids and Johnny Carson and your momma repeats a phrase you used to say to her as a child. It sounds like she is saying "crazy mealz" but it is difficult for me to make out. I would like to know what exactly she is saying and its significance. Thank you kindly.

When I was a kid, probably around the days of middle school, I used to stay up late to watch stand up comedy shows on cable. I remember walking into class the next day and reciting the jokes I heard as if they were my own. I was betting on the odds that no other kid within earshot could have been…

Yesterday I experienced anger.
I was listening to the Savage Love Podcast (basically like a really grounded super gay-friendly version of Loveline, in case you live under a rock) and some chick called in with a problem that blew my mind.
OK, so she’s just out of grad school, dealing with mad debt and living at her dad’s house. She sounds like a theatery privileged little monster. Her...

Any post tagged “this is divorce blogging” on youngmanhattanite has been cracking me up. But like, no. I definitely am not down with dating divorced older men. Sorry. I thought that was pretty obvious.
You know, when I was in NY a few months ago I ate dinner with Emily Gould and we were chillin there and I mentioned that I’d met some bro who said he was youngmanhattanite and she...
