I'm going to do something here I rarely ever do. That is, I'm going to actually post in this little blog o' mine. Here's what's up, y'all. I'm about to transition to a new role at work, and I'm incredibly jazzed about it.You know I love lists, so here's one for you. Why I'm stoked:- My new managers are hilarious and incredibly supportive. And we type with monster claws.- This is a new team being

So much for me being better at updating this. I hope all is well for those of you who might still get alerts for this or subscribe to it or whatever.Yesterday started my birthday week, and it's already a crazy one. Someone call/text me and remind me to come back later and update on everything that's going on, because it's going to be awesome.But if you want to know what I'm up to tonight, you

When Emma asked me if I wanted to go to the 7:30 RSO with her, I said I shouldn't because I already had tickets to the 9:30 show and I figured that once was enough. Well, after seeing it, I kind of wish I had gone to both.I'm getting ahead of myself, though. You probably don't know what RSO is, if you're reading this. Rated RSO is a show that the composer Ryan Scott Oliver (see what he did there?

I'm trying to think of interesting ways to update you, dear reader(s), on what is happening in my life lately without sounding like a broken record, because I really have done a lot of the same stuff this past week, but I'm drawing a blank.I'm working at going out less, especially during the week, and going to fewer "events", though that's almost impossible in the next few months with all the

Sometimes I can't believe the hatred that spews out of the mouths of people who claim to be doing work of "God". I won't get into questions of religion and my personal beliefs here, because I think that's a very private matter, but I will say that if there's one thing I do believe in, it is that we are all deserving of love and equality. I think that's pretty obvious.

Last night I caught a nice little set from Johnny Gallagher in the East Village with my friends Louise and Rob, and then we hit my favorite Italian place followed by my favorite trashy dive bar. I must say that my decision to wear cowboy boots was a great choice, and that Rudy's will stay classy forever. There was even a dance party to "Single Ladies" with a bunch of random cute hipster boys; my

I made it back to NYC after a lovely little break in Tennessee and Texas. The holidays were nice, if uneventful. Actually, I think they were nice because they were uneventful. Mine were comprised mostly of hangtime with the family, playing with puppies, playing the piano and watching a lot of movies.Then it was back to the city and "real life", if you can call it that. I've already caught up with

So, as you can see, I pretty much stopped blogging this year. Oops. I'm still all over the internet, but I spend more time elsewhere (like Twitter). I'm going to try to be better about this though, because perhaps there are still some people out there who are interested in reading about what's going on in my life (besides the douchey comments I make on said Twitter). So, here's my resolution - a

New numbers for the countdown:7 days until Kely comes to NYC to be my dapper date for the weekend.9 days until the Tony Awards (the event for which I need a dapper date).17 days until my conference in Houston. Yeehaw!19 days until I see my dad in Paris.Hope life is well with everyone reading this. :)

This past Sunday in NYC, there was a big rally for marriage equality organized by Broadway Impact. I had the good fortune to get involved with this group a few months ago, and I volunteered to help out with the rally. This truly is the great civil rights fight of our generation, and I was thrilled to get to be a part of a day that turned out to be so amazing.As you may have seen all over my

I've been really terrible at updating, and I apologize. However, I think it's going to be a trend here for a little bit - my lack of posting, that is. There's just too much going on. Right now, I'm sort of busy at work, wrapping up everything from the 09 campaign and shifting into 2010 mode. I will be on a new team with new portfolio starting June 1st, and I'm really excited because I will get to

The beauty of my job is its flexibility. I always have a ton to do, and generally work pretty long hours, but there are some nice perks. For one, I can take a little bit longer of a lunch break than usual, if I put in the extra time to get things done later in the day.And that was absolutely necessary on a day like today. The weather is gorgeous and it feels like the city's finally waking up to

Guess who I met on Tuesday night? Go on, guess.Ok, clearly you can already tell since there's a picture right here, but I'm excited to tell you that it was THIS GUY:My friend and I won HAIR lotto because we wanted to see Jay go on for the Tribe (with the surprise bonus of Paris as Woof!), so we were in the right box. During one song, Tribe members pull people from the audience to dance with them

I don't have the energy for an update in prose, so we'll resort to the bullet-point format:I found out for certain that I will be returning to TFA next year on the recruitment team.I'll be working with schools in Dallas and Louisiana (most likely, it's about 90% set).Hooray for Iowa for embracing equality. Great quote of Friday: "You can get married in Iowa now, but just not to him." This guy has

Gavin, who stars as Claude in the Broadway revival of HAIR, has made it publicly known that he does not read reviews, not even his mother's. So I wanted to make sure he knows that he should not read this blog post, because it is one giant (albeit glowing) review. ;)As you regular readers are aware, I was more than excited to be attending the Opening Night performance of HAIR on Broadway tonight.

This past week was hellish, though it was marked by a few bright spots. I don't want to talk about the negative things, so I'll just mention the good stuff.For one thing, Gossip Girl came back! (Love Blair and Nate together, by the way, so haters to the left.) Then, I finally won the HAIR lotto, which was fantastic. Katie Couric was at the show that night, by the way. Then on Friday, which was

I don't even know where to start to describe this weekend. Oh, here's an idea for this post's structure: I'll tell you what I did after losing the Hair lotto each day, since I tried 6 times this weekend (since Thursday) to no avail. After trying and losing on Thursday, a friend and I gave it a go at the Rock of Ages ticket lottery, where we both won!  The show is cheesy, campy and filled with '

It's the first day of spring, and I had high hopes all week of busting out sundresses and sandals.Too bad, because when I woke up this morning, I was greeted by fluttering snowflakes outside my window.NYC weather, you are officially on notice. Get your act together, now.

When I last left you, I was on pins and needles waiting for the weekend. Well, it measured up to the hype.As you might have gathered by now, I'm a little obsessed with Broadway shows. Similarly, you might have noticed that I'm becoming addicted to Billy Elliot. I had been keeping up with the rotation of who played Billy which night because I really wanted to see my favorite actor in the role

Today's rule for living is simple: sometimes you need to CELEBRATE!I don't care if you're celebrating winning the lottery or a good hair day, it's important to applaud yourself every once in a while and treat yourself to some extra fun.Tonight, we're celebrating the birth of one of my good friends up here by (gasp!) going out on a weeknight for dinner and drinks.Tomorrow, I'm celebrating payday

My next week in a nutshell:Tuesday - Last day of vacation at home, then fly back to NY in the evening.Wednesday - Back to work with an overflowing inbox, then to my Performance Techniques Workshop.Thursday - Working, working, then Flavia's birthday dinner.Friday - Work, payday (!!) and - gasp - a free evening!Saturday - Hopefully a spring cleaning of my closet, and then a birthday party.Sunday -

I haven't been to bed before 3 a.m. all week (Or, at least asleep. I'm currently sitting in bed right now, but wide awake.) Maybe it's because with the strange work agenda of the week coupled with the weird lazy weekend and my excitement about this coming weekend my internal clock is all screwy.So it leaves me lots of time to goof around on the internet. Or read magazines. Or pack my bags,

I love a good lazy Sunday. Actually, I've had quite the lazy weekend, though I'd like to think it was pretty productive as well.Though Andy Samberg might think that Mr. Pibb + Red Vines = crazy delicious, my favorite combination is Pretzels + White-Chocolate-Cherry Dip from the Biltmore. And instead of watching the Chronicles of Narnia, I've been filling my entertainment quota with an America's

Everyone needs a sure-fire solution for the days when you're just feeling down. Here's mine:1. Go home and change into your PJ's.2. Order takeout from your favorite restaurant.3. Watch a fun movie.Options, in case that combo's not going to cut it for you (er, me):Have a glass of wine, see a Broadway show, go to Tiffany'sTonight, however, I'm opting for the simple 1-2-3 approach.#1 is pretty

I have turned into a terrible blogger. I keep saying that I will do better if I blog in little bursts, just covering one quick topic, but then I get lazy or forget and have too many things to talk about. This happens so frequently that big things don't even get mentioned. I'm going to try to catch everyone up.So, I'm chilling in a hotel in Newark, watching the Oscars (which I'm really

I'm not sure what happened between us. For a while there, we had a really good thing going. My Monday nights were cleared indefinitely, blocked off for a little alone time with you. Those nights really meant something to me.But now you've just disappeared from my life. Without so much as a phone call. A text message even?

So, I've been wishing I had a regular update topic like some of my favorite bloggers out there, but I had trouble coming up with one that wasn't blatantly stolen. Now I finally have one of my own. Each week, I'm going to share with you my "Rules for Living". These are just little observations that I think would make the world a more pleasant place (at least for me) if more people would, well,

First of all, I apologize. I've been terrible at updating. Maybe I should update more often with little blips of info, so that the task doesn't seem so daunting when I feel like I have nothing significant to say, which is the current scenario. Nothing terribly exciting is happening right now for me. Mostly, I'm just looking forward. What am I looking forward to, you might ask? (Now you're

I think I forgot to fill you all in on this one. I have recently enrolled in a musical theater class here in the city. On Wednesday nights, I head down to 24th Street for my Performance Techniques Workshop to sing my little heart out. So far, I have gone three times and I'm really enjoying it. Any outlet to sing is welcomed with open arms by this girl, of course.Deciding to enroll kind of

Maybe it's because I'm a super fan of his. Maybe it's because I blogged about the same thing just a day before. Maybe it's because I went to the Duncan Sheik concert tonight. But Matt Doyle's blog post definitely made me tear up a little.--------On a related note, the Duncan Sheik concert was what he called a "record release extravaganza party".

A week ago today, I was sitting at the final performance of Spring Awakening. The entire experience was exhilarating and uplifting while also being very touching and bittersweet.I don't have a lot to say about it, because the whole day was just beyond words, really. There are some details that I have to mention, though. Walking into the theater, you could feel the energy. It was obvious that

I have had the most utterly random day. Let me explain:I woke up in Queens, where I had stayed the night before at my friend Jericho's place, along with another of our friends, Christa. This was my first outing to Queens, as a matter of fact.Then we decided, after a lazy morning of Facebooking and Googling ourselves, that we should go to Ikea in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

Somedays I feel as though my life is like a movie scene, or perhaps from a TV Show. Today, it's like I'm in an episode of The Office. Especially after the wacky lunch conversation that just went down.

I've been putting off posting because I didn't know what to do to make my 100th post awesome. It's a lot of pressure, you know? I had several ideas, all of which involved me coming up with 100 of something. And try as I might, I didn't have the patience or the interest in writing 100 facts, blah blah blah... and you wouldn't have wanted to read that either.So, instead I decided to share with you

I sincerely hope you're watching Gossip Girl right now. The triumphant return of Jonathan elicited a cheer at my household.

I had seriously the best weekend ever. If I tried to sum it up in words, it would be all wrong for two reasons: 1) I would ramble on forever and you'd get bored, 2) It would still not accurately capture it. So, they say a picture is worth 1,000 words, so here's a more succinct version.After work, some of the girls went out for dinner on the Upper West Side. This restaurant is great. Yummy Chinese

"Just tell me G.G.Three words, eight lettersWanna be your rock, girlBe your steps at the Metters"This is entirely too funny. If you're as big a fan of The Greatest Show of Our Time as I am, you will love this. At least I hope. See how many references you can catch.And you know that I most certainly do love this show entirely too much. I wanted to point a couple of things out. First, the Pinkberry

Just so you know, I'm back in New York, after a wonderful vacation in Kingsport and Paris. Since I am sure to have more time to procrastinate and faster internet access now, expect more thorough posts. Here's a preview of what might be to come:1. Rena and I are going to start working on a project. I might need your input.2. Should I start doing a regular posting day, ala RubyTurtleHippie?3. A

And that's because the author of said times is your guest blogger today!!!! My name is Samantha. Emily and I met while in college at OU.

So, with New Year's lurking around the corner, most people are probably taking this time to think about resolutions. They are making decisions to change something about themselves in the coming year, beginning on 01/01/09 and last for 365.24 days after that.Not I.I am going to use this opportunity to take a snapshot in time of the things that sum up my life right now and see how those change

I am going into serious Gossip GIrl withdrawals. I need my weekly dose of Blair, Chuck, man bangs and Dorota. Not to mention my weekly snark from Daily Intel's coverage of "The Greatest Show of Our Time". Luckily, Gossip Girl's return to glory is just over a week away. In the meantime, I've been filling my need for media consumption in various forms, from the high-brow to the basest of

I arrived in The Greatest State at around 4:00 p.m. Friday afternoon, and it is simply delightful. The main thing I keep thinking of is that there were so many things I didn't even realize that I missed!This is another disappointing post, but I'll take the time to actually compose a comprehensive list and update with it later. I just wanted to say "Howdy" from Texas, y'all!

I know I should be talking about the holidays, since it's December 24 and all, but I have something different in mind. If you know me at all, you know that music is a very big deal to me. In fact, it might be my very favorite thing. I'm kind of weird in the way I listen to music, though. Maybe I have an obsessive personality, but I get on these kicks where I have a few favorite songs that I just

My dear friend Sam asked me to do a guest post over on her blog today, so in lieu of double-posting my Christmas Eve sentiments, I will just link you on over to the post I did at The RubyTurtleHippieTimes. Oh, and it's T-minus 4 hours until the greatest holiday of the year. Get excited!

I apologize for my sub-par blog posts lately. It's just that there's been a whirlwind of activity leading up to the holidays and just no time to get my thoughts in order.I do think there are a few important things to point out, though.1. I am at my mom's in Tennessee for the first stop on my Christmas vacation. Then I'm off to Paris after Christmas.2. You know that earlier post -- the one about

I'm about 40 minutes away from Christmas vacation. I do have to work from home on Monday/Tuesday, but it's a little different when I'm in the comforts of my mom's house instead of in the office. I don't really have time for a thought-provoking insightful post, so here's more linkage and video!OU people, if you haven't seen this yet... Well, there are no words really.And I'm in love with this guy:

Some really fun things have happened in the last 24 hours, y'all.Let's begin with the scene I caused in the middle of our Christmas party last night. Even though I had it set to be recorded, I really wanted to see the announcement of the Heisman winner live. So we paused our revelries to watch the last 10 minutes, and boy was it worth it. We're all in silence as the envelope is opened, followed

Or, more specifically, since this is my blog, let's talk about MY feelings.A) ExcitedThere are two very good reasons for this feeling. First, I am going to the Apple store today to get my Christmas present - an iPhone! Prepare to hear me speaking in my "iPhone voice" all Christmas break. You love it. The second reason is that in one week I will be at my mom's house for the first half of my

I have another rant - completely unrelated to my feminist/politics discussion just a few minutes ago - brewing in my head right now. However, since it is about specific person, it's probably best not broadcast over blogspot.That's all. I feel a little better now.

I've been so full of Christmas cheer lately, but now for something completely different:I am not, and never will be, a feminist.I care about equal rights for all people - regardless of race, gender, age, or creed. However, I am not a feminist. I am a woman, but women's rights aren't an issue that gets me riled up. I'm not hot and bothered over abortion law. It's not the most important thing that

I feel like since Christmas is just over two weeks away, I should probably fill you guys in on my wish list. I mean, that way you have time to scour the stores to find the best deals. Here are my top three Christmas wishes:3.2.1.Thanks in advance. I mean, I have been so good this year. And just remember:

Y'all, this is serious. OU's going to the 'ship. Tonight, as usual, I watched the game at the OU Club's designated bar, The Press Box. Lauren and I met up super early to guarantee that we would have a table upstairs for the Big XII Championship. That game was mind-blowing. OU is officially the first team in NCAA history to score 60+ points in five straight games. Suck on that, Texas. The energy

A few things I'm currently loving:1. Britney's new CD - It's all great, but I especially enjoy "Blur" and "Mannequin."2. Sour Patch Kids - The yellow ones are my favorite.3. Robert Pattinson's singing voice - It's definitely not expected. There's something gritty about it that I really love.4. The weather in NYC - The cold is my friend, when I'm bundled. As long as the rain stays away while I'm

I think my mind is rebelling against adulthood by making me think like a 14-year-old schoolgirl. That's the only explanation I can come up with for some of my recent interests. I mean, Jonas Brothers... really?And Twilight. Why do I love it so much? It's embarrassing, really. But, my friends are enablers to my addiction, so at least I'm not in it alone. I really shouldn't have downloaded the

You guys. Ashanti stole my look.I totally have (and rock) that hat. Though you'd never catch me in boots or a coat that hideous. I wore my awesome beanie to the Rockefeller Center tree lighting tonight. Four hours in the cold to see some sparkly lights... so worth it.

My good friend Sam gave me the "Your Blog is Fabulous" award! I must say that this fact should go without saying, without an award, but I'm fully appreciative that someone else acknowledges my fabulosity. Haha, she's known it for years. So now I have to list 5 of my fabulous addictions and then pass it on to five others. 1. HeadbandsNot just any headbands will steal my heart. It takes something

I had an amazing Thanksgiving. Here are the highlights/interesting stories:1. My sister and I walked past the actor who plays Georg in Spring Awakening on Wednesday evening. I couldn't remember where I knew him from at first. I should have befriended him. (Or "boyfriended" him, as a friend suggested via text.)2. Patti LuPone is craaaazy.3.

Today's one of those days when I love living in New York City.I rolled out of bed at 8:00, thankful for not having to do a long commute this morning. Don't get me wrong, I usually enjoy my time to sit and read/listen to my iPod/people watch/just mentally prepare for the day. It's just that it's nice to not have to worry about the process of getting ready and traveling before even starting the

As if the amazing win over Texas Tech wasn't enough, my football watching experience was made complete by the following event:My friend Lauren and I met up at the Press Box, where the OU Club of NY gathers to watch Sooner football games. This just so happened to be the biggest game of the year, so the fans were out in full force. The game was the sole focus of everyone's attention, except for one

I saw On the Town tonight at the New York City Center Encores. This may not seem like something momentous, because I go to shows all the time. But it is.On the Town just so happens to be one of my favorite musicals. (Boiled down, it's about three sailors who have 24 hours leave to spend in New York City.) However, I only knew it from the music and the old movie with Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra.

I promise that I will post an update about the amazing weekend I just had as soon as I find adequate time. I'm only posting at all because I need to document for posterity how amazing today is going to be:1. Wall-E comes out on DVD. It's only the best movie ever. I actually doubt that I will even be near somewhere to buy it, but just knowing it's out there makes me happy.2. The Gossip Girl Daily

Yesterday, at work, they were shooting a documentary on the organization. Specifically, it was focused on an interview with our founder.However, I guess they wanted some footage of other people within the organization, because they came by my chute and asked Julie (my neighbor) and I if we minded them shooting video of us. We said it would be fine and went about our business.I didn't sign up to

It has been quite exciting and eventful around here for the past couple of weeks, which hasn't left a lot of time for keeping in touch, or blogging. Here's what's kept me busy.Tuesday, 10/21:I saw 13 for a second time, for two reasons. I wanted to see what changes they had made since previews, and the real reason -- Jason Robert Brown was having a talk-back with the audience afterward. I got to

I'm going to this tonight. It benefits Bette Midler's NY Restoration Project, so I hope she's there. That would be ah-mazing. I think it's going to be pretty great anyway. Now, I've railed and ranted about how I refuse to go to Wicked on Broadway. That's because the tickets are way too expensive and are never available on my discount site or at tkts, I've been listening to the music for 5 years

I realize that it's nearly 4 a.m. and I have to be up before 8 tomorrow and I should be sleeping. But I had to write this post while I'm still excited about it. Tonight, as I mentioned, some friends and I saw the midnight premiere of High School Musical 3: Senior Year.Well, to be honest, it turned into a 1 a.m. screening, because they had problems with the film. We were sitting there for an hour

I think they are a huge deal, whether they are mine or someone else's, and I enjoy celebrating them.In fact, I love them so much that once a year is just not enough.

You know what time it is, right? It's time for OU students to make the Southbound 35 trip to Dallas to see the Sooners "beat the hell outta" texas. Unfortunately, it's not that easy to get there from NYC, so I'll be rooting from here. I'm just a little sad to miss out on the the shopping, the West End craziness, a first-hand view of the game, and all of the "What happens at OU/tx..." moments, but

Sorry that I'm terrible about blogging lately. Work is sucking the life out of me. And kind of sucking in general.I don't like to write about downer things, so I suppose that's why I haven't been writing. I kind of hate Mondays.

Last night I went to the first preview for the new musical 13, with music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown, of whom we all know I am a huge fan.
