ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Kimchi and Soybean Sprouts Soon-Tofu Edition
It’s no secret that I love Korean food. I think I post about it every month (or at least that’s just the way it feels). I’ve written about galbi, pork bulgogi, kimchi pancakes, squid, crab, and who knows what else. Well, now I come to you with more Korean food adventures. This time I tackled …

Opening A Box (Really, That's All This Is)
Almost every day, I get an email asking me what it’s like to be me. Well, maybe not every day. Or even every other day. Okay, never. No one ever asks what it’s like to be me. But if someone were to ask, I’d refer them to the above video which I shot for no …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Baring It All
After two episodes of simmering tension, Jill and Bethenny finally came face to face on the latest installment of The Real Housewives of New York City, and it was just as awkward and uncomfortable as you’d imagine it to be. There’s truly nothing more divisive than a sidekick separating from her Master (a phenomenon I’ve …
Adventures On Chatroulette!
For the first time ever, I decided to log onto Chatroulette, the current Internet sensation that randomly pairs webcam users together for what will hopefully be a moment of divine kismet (but usually turns out to be one person inevitably staring at a penis). I didn’t know what to expect upon signing on, but I …
ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Blood Orange Martini Edition
It’s been a while since I posted about a Fresh Cocktail Hour. In the past, my friends and I have conjured up Bloody Marys and jalapeño margaritas from scratch. At last I have a new addition to the canon. Last weekend, in a fit of impromptu citrus indulgence, I decided to buy some blood oranges …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PREVIEW: Here's A Shock: More Bitchiness!
It’s Thursday, which means tonight we’ll once again be inundated with loads of good TV. Chief among the offerings is Real Housewives of New York City, which looks to serve up yet another healthy dose of drama for the masses. Not everything is catfights and bitching though. In the clip above, Kelly talks to her …

AMERICAN IDOL RECAP: Ain't Got No Satisfaction?
American Idol moved onto the big stage last night, and without the presence of Lilly Scott or Todrick Hall or Alex Lambert or Katelyn Epperly, I feared we may be worse for wear. After all, it’s safe to say that none of those four truly deserved an ouster last week (I’d have reserved that honor …

KELL ON EARTH PHOTOCAP: She's All Hat
Every week I extol the many virtues of Kell On Earth, and while normally I live for the high drama and screaming overlords, this time around, I come praising the series itself and its notable depiction of a hectic office. Often times, the workplaces we see on TV tend to be glamorous salons or fashion …
CNN Has Made Me A STAR!!
About nine months ago, I posted a video of me sitting behind a crying baby on YouTube. The resultant post garnered a whole bunch of comments, setting off a fierce debate on whether it is the parents’ duty to silence their kid or if it’s the passenger who just needs to get the hell over …
