Can I just say...

Why is lightning so scary in New York City? Jeebus.

Awwwww

Please watch this. Even if you hate Will Ferrell, you'll like "The Landlord". I promise!

Oh, and I'm obsessed with his nose. I could stare at it for hours!

Last night Ryan, Sarah and I saw Talk Radio on Broadway, starring my recent crush Liev Schreiber. (I think the crush started when Joe and I had to fly to Virginia for a shoot and Liev was on said flight, crammed into his seat, since he's 6'3" and it was a 50-seat plane. I concentrated on him to forget about my fear of dropping out of the sky.)

Anyway... Talk Radio is brilliant and I highly recommend that you see it. The set was fabulous, and the use of microphones really upped the drama. It's running until sometime in June and it's your chance to see "the greatest actor of our generation" (I keep hearing that anyway). Get tickets here.

Hmm, now that you mention it...

Miranda July is clever, isn't she?

Check out her site for her new book.

I would like to introduce the ugliest shoe in the world.

That's all. Just thought you'd like to know.

Who wants to come over and make this with me?

This sounds delicious!

Do this for Al and for the earth.

It'll take 30 seconds.

This is just disgusting...

How cool is this!

If I had $500 I would definitely buy this. I hate the idea of having an aero bed taking up space in a closet, and this actually looks pretty comfy. Via ApartmentTherapy.

Lean on Me...

Read all about Ryan's and my relationship when finances are involved.

Caveman...

Ha. If you're bored, check out the Caveman's Crib. It's entertaining for at least 10 minutes.

Madame Tussaud?

Is it me or is Brad looking more and more like a wax figure?

Gah, this is all I can think about right now.

Am I supposed to relate to this place?

The Factory Retooled
Wow, it's so ironic that they offer an $18 cosmo called the 27th Street. I think the real statement is that they sell Colt 45 for $6. And you get to look at photos of Paris Hilton while you're there.

If you don't feel like reading the whole article, here is my favorite quote: "I’m an enthusiast and I express myself sensually and I can barely hold myself in,” he said. “I can tell that there’s an element of the pulse, of neurotic, erotic perfection.”
