Drinking in LA vs. Drinking in NYC

What do you guys think? Pretty accurate?

I can’t remember the last time I drank drank in LA (as in go out to a bar/lounge, not just have a beer or two with dinner…or get tipsy at a wedding ), but what I do remember are the early last calls and the relatively cheaper drinks.
Oh, and at least one person being a DD so he/she could drive us home.

Because I’m Sure I Can’t Be the Only One

There are some things I find weird about myself (sometimes, in conjunction with others in my life) but I know there must be others out there who do the same…right?

I occasionally weigh myself before and after pooping just to see if there’s a difference. (It’s never as much as I expect or hope.)
Every few months, J will lie on top of me and “play dead.” I then try my darndest to try to get out from under him, just to see if I would be able to escape if he were ever to die or pass out on top…

Star Wars Business Cards

The past few days have been rough. Little Aerin fell ill for the very first time in her life — thank goodness she had gotten her flu shot last month! — and I ended up catching her cold too. We sent Claire away to her grandparents’ in hopes that she won’t get sick, and the household has been a disarray of used Kleenex, dirty laundry, and VapoRub.
But I remain in high spirits, because my beloved Knickerbockers are 5-0 for the first time in almost 2 decades.
Needless to say, inspiration has been running dry (inversely proportional to the level…

90s Flashback ["Answer Me 1997"]

I have a new obsession.
(And if you’re friends with me on Facebook, you probably already know what I’m talking about.)
It is a Korean drama called 응답하라 1997, or Answer Me 1997.

As the title suggests, the show revolves around a group of friends who graduated high school in 1997. The story unfolds through a series of flashbacks as they attend their 15-year reunion — and with the majority of the 16-part series taking place during the last decade of the 20th century, you can’t help but be taken back by the numerous 90s references.

Pandy’s Puddle

There’s an episode of Ni Hao, Kai-Lan which revolves around Tolee’s relationship with his stuffed panda bear, Pandy.
In this episode, titled “Pandy’s Puddle,” Tolee the koala bear is utterly devastated when Pandy falls into a muddy puddle, and as a result must be separated from its owner to take a spin in the washing machine.

This is the only episode of Ni Hao, Kai-Lan that Claire cannot watch.
To further clarify, this is the only episode that is forbidden from being played at our house.
Why, do you ask? It’s because Claire relates so much to Tolee and his attachment…
