Kristen Bell’s sloth meltdown: how I live everyday.

thedailygrace:

Since Casey and I have been together we tend to have consistently great Valentine’s Day Days.  Which doesn’t really go with our whole mission statement as a couple.  I’m a notorious “THIS IS TOO MUCH PRESSURE” for all Holidays and Birthdays.  And Casey is in a constant state of low key-ism.  So why does V-Day always go so well?  I asked Casey this question the other day along with a string of other questions like:  Are you proposing on Valentine’s Day?  Are you proposing on our Anniversary?  Are you proposing to me right now???  Inconclusive on all fronts.  But, my theory is that V-Day is perfectly timed in the middle of absolutely nothing and also just close enough to the big holidays to add a little “let’s make up for not going out on New Years”.  And, I’m about to get real annoying up in here and add that I’m also lucky to have one of those really sweet guys who would never let me go without flowers, chocolate and extra hugs on a Holiday that mandates it.  I know, I know, I know.

So, what are your plans for Valentine’s Day?  Do you hate it or love it?  Do you have a formula for success?

Yes. I already blogged about this. 

Tangential: I lost it on Chris when he informed me that I need to update my bio because of Leila and Caitlin’s numerous name changes. It’s just … the two of them are literally all over every piece of professional paperwork or resume or web video description that I have. And I just get so tiiiiired.

They get it.

I am more impressed that you found another way to plague us with the “no image” square.

LAist has nice things to say about Pig! Make those reservations for this Thursday at 7!

In the span of about 30 minutes, Pig: A Restaurant slices and dices through the pretentiousness of the food scene. And while we didn’t get all of the New York-centric nuances (maybe an LA version is in order?), the humor does translate well on the left coast. We guess it’s because a-holes are a-holes everywhere. And everyone loves bacon.

I haven’t seen last night’s episode of 30 Rock yet, but between this and last week’s House Hunters joke, I’m feeling even more of a Liz Lemon mindmeld than usual.

Personal hero Adam Roberts came to the show last night! And he liked it!

We just saw a hilarious skewering of the food world at L.A.’s U.C.B. (Upright Citizens Brigade) called “Pig: A Restaurant.” Actress Lauren Adams tackles everyone from Gael Greene to David Chang in this play written by Leila Cohan-Miccio and directed by Caitlin Bitzegio. Based on real world food experiences (Leila ran the blog Grub Street and Lauren worked at Balthazar and D.B. Bistro Moderne), the show imagines a Brooklyn restaurant called Pig: A Restaurant where the hostess answers the phone “This is Pig: A Restaurant, I’m Aurora: A Hostess.” Like most hip restaurants nowadays, every dish there is made with pork (to the chagrin of the owner’s dead husband’s kosher-keeping parents) and the signature drink is a Brooklyn (“which is the same as a Manhattan, except you drink it in Brooklyn.”) The show flies along at a clip and for anyone with passing knowledge of the food world (at the opening night party, Thomas Keller is turned away because he’s “not on the list”) you’re bound to appreciate the knowing, wicked humor of these very talented restaurant industry vets. And if you’re in L.A. you’re in luck: there’s another show on February 2nd at 7 PM. Go see it; you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll crave pork belly.

Ten! Ten tiny baby piggies were born at the Dublin Zoo! All are precious and pink and sweet and all wish you would come see Pig: A Restaurant at UCBLA at 8 tonight! The piggies are sorry about all the plugging on this blog lately! It’s just that they have a lot going on!

The tippety top Bachelor fan blog loves the show! Read as Caitlin and Leila dish about romance, roses, and whether Jake Pavelka is a serial killer.

James Taylor, “Fire and Rain”

Whoopsie doops, started reading the excellent Girls Like Us and went down a rabbit hole of late 60s/early 70s folk rock, culminating in listening to this song about a hundred times in a row, like I’m back at New England summer camp.

In New England, James Taylor, like khaki shorts and duck boots, has never ended.
