Just woke up. Here’s a little slice of life from last night.
THE SCENE: TC’s basement during a raging birthday houseparty.
Ariel lays on the floor, shivering. She looks green.
TCand Nwalk downstairs.
Ariel [through chattering teeth]: Hey guys? Could you grab me a blanket?
TC: WOAH! What’s wrong with you? Are you ok?
Ariel: Got a little sick. Feeling cold. [...]

Today, Jen and I hung out! It was really REALLY cool to get to meet a fellow blogger and really CLICK. Like leggos, but less plastic and more talking. We even went to a cool music performance at Jack Straw Productions. I like making new friends who you sort of already know but haven’t ever [...]

A: The stewardess says “futzing” over the PA.
In other news, hopefully my computer will be arriving today and I can be updating more frequently. But for now, it’s back to my book marketing seminar.

Vent: ’80s Retro
…this is actually a chat conversation from over six months ago…I was cleaning out my files and found it…
ArielMeadow: I’m irritated by the fact that everything early 80s has become hip.
ArielMeadow: That trend was so predictable that I’m embarressed for it.
stephen_hecht: So we’re out of the 70s retro?
ArielMeadow: Oh my god, Steve.
ArielMeadow: [...]

The scene: Loft party, late night, freeway on-ramp outside. The sounds of party banter (aka badinage) fill the room.
Enter: TC. Points at a white cake with fruit on top.
TC [to Ariel]: “This is the goodest pizza.”
