Marc Jacobs & reality TV? Would I like? →
(via ilovelovely)
My instinct is: Marc, this is so below you. Of course I’d watch, but Marc Jacobs joining the Real Housewives is like Angelina Jolie joining Project Runway….as a contestant… or Karl Lagerfeld tapping Lauren Conrad to design a capsule collection for Chanel. It just doesn’t make sense.

You know what feels good?
Forgiveness.
Forgiving someone and just letting it go. Life is too short for grudges. It really is.

Heaven.
Thomas J. Sennett: What do you think it's like?
Vada Sultenfuss: What?
Thomas J. Sennett: Heaven.
Vada Sultenfuss: I think... everybody gets their own white horse and all they do is ride them and eat marshmallows all day. And everybody's best friends with everybody else. When you play sports, there's no teams, so nobody gets picked last.
Thomas J. Sennett: But what if you're afraid to ride horses?
Vada Sultenfuss: Doesn't matter 'cause they're not regular horses. They've got wings. And it's no big deal if you fall 'cause you'll just land in a cloud.

Adventures in Cable Land starring Gossip Girl.
Time Warner Cable: What's the problem ma'am?
Me: My DVR IS NOT RECORDING. It keeps saying it's scheduled to record, then it just doesn't.
Time Warner Cable: Hold on one moment while I send a signal to your box (lots of time elapses, box reboots)
Me: Okay, it says the time again.
Time Warner Cable: Try to record some-
Me: OMFG. IT DID NOT RECORD GOSSIP GIRL!!
Time Warner Cable: That's probably a good thing, my daughter said this season sucks.
Me: But I NEED Chuck Bass.
Time Warner Cable: I'm pretty sure Vanessa has that covered, ma'am.

If this is empty, this doesn't matter.
Dorothy: It's my fault.
Jerry: What?
Dorothy: It's not fair to you, this whole thing.
Jerry: Come here. Tell me, let me help.
Dorothy: I took advantage of you and I did it with the help of a kid. I was just on some wild ride. I thought...I thought I was in love enough for both of us. I jumped at your proposal when it was still just hypothetical. I did this, and at least I can do something about it now.
Jerry: I'm not a guy who runs. I stick.
Dorothy: I don't need you to stick.
Jerry: What do you want? My soul?
Dorothy: Why not? I deserve that.
Jerry: What if I'm not built that way?
Dorothy: I think we made a mistake.
Jerry: What if it's true? Great at friendship, bad at intimacy. That's the theme of my bachelor film.
Dorothy: I know, I watched it. I know it by heart.
Jerry: I don't like to give up.
Dorothy: Please...My need to make the best of things, and your need to be responsible...If we don't do something now, we could lose ten years being polite. Let's just call this next road trip what it really is: A nice long break.
Jerry: What about Ray?
Dorothy: Well, you'll be friends.
Jerry: Friends?
Dorothy: Yes. Of course you'll be friends.
Jerry: I'll take him to the zoo. So this break is a breakup.
Dorothy: Come on, this isn't easy for me. On the surface everything looks fine. I've got this great guy, and he loves my kid. And he sure does like me a lot. And I can't live like that. It's not how I'm built. If this is empty, this doesn't matter.

Tumblr, meet Courtney. →
One of my favorite people in the whole wide world Courtney is now blogging on tumblr with her new blog I Love Lovely.
Follow her if you love someone with fabulous taste (she chose me as a friend! HA!), a great fashion sense, a witty sense of humour…she will make you laugh and smile and feel inspired. A great friend, fashionista, fiancee, and much more. I can’t even accurately...

I'll never get used to this.
[Scene - F train stops at Broadway/Lafayette, very pregnant woman gets on, all seats in the area are filled by men. Train stops at West 4th, by this point no man has gotten off or attempted to give her a seat. She's clutching the pole and her belly. Note: I was standing up during this, obviously. If I was seated this would've never happened as I would've stood up IMMEDIATELY]
Me: (looking slightly peeved at closest 3 men) Do you think any of you might be willing to get up and give her a seat?
Man #1: What? Why?
Me: Isn't it obvious.
Man #2: If she wanted a seat she could ask.
Me: I'm sorry I don't think she should have to.
Man #1: This isn't the 'olden days.'
Me: Oh so, because women can now vote you shouldn't relinquish your seat to a pregnant woman? (Pregnant woman is half cheering me on/ half horrified. A man finally gets up - Man #3 - she thanks him and sits down)
Man #2: Women don't want men to hold doors or give them their seats. It's anti that feminism garbage.
Me: I don't know who told you that but for future reference if a visibly pregnant woman gets on a train and it's muggy and she looks exhausted or even if she doesn't - OFFER HER A SEAT. It's beyond the right thing to do.
Man #1: Why do you care? Are you pregnant? You don't look it.
Me: No, but my good friend Georgina is and I swear to God if this ever happened to her and I was there this convo would have escalated awhile ago.
Man #2: (Mutters something about liberal women.) I turn back on my ipod.
[What is wrong with people??? Why isn't it instinctual to give up your your seats to elderly people, injured people, and/or pregnant women? Am I missing something?]

1 hour + $25 = 5 lunches. →
I’m a big fan of bang for the buck. These ingredients might come up to more like $30 in NYC - and maybe $35 if purchase the organic options, but a great diverse menu with some yummy picks. Great job, Lemondrop!

You know what the great thing about a true friend...
That it doesn’t matter how long it’s been or what’s happened in between. You can always pick up right where you left off, without a moment of hesitation.

Peggy and Pete, revisited. →
I always tell people I’m trying to convert to Mad Men (not that this is hard these days) about this scene…attempting not to give too much away, I try to explain to them how amazing this moment is. Not a surprise to me that last night at the Emmys, for Peggy’s nomination they showed this scene (part of it).
I still believe this quote from this scene might be the best in Mad...
