you know what isn't a good idea
listening to very emotional inducing music that a friend wrote who passed away 3 years ago when you are already sad … and switching it to college dropout
you know another great thing ...
when you go from having no plans for this upcoming weekend to having dinner at alinea and drinks at the office and brunch at your favorite spot

i cant stop laughing
just got an email asking me if i “am having relations with [redacted]”
i responded that while [redacted] and i have a strong professional relationship and i have no problem putting in a good word for his company, [redacted] and i are not having “relations”.
i could talk about 90210 ALL DAY

gasp-shock:
Based on his restaurants, Paul Kahan does no wrong for me. This list meets those expectations (more than just food, though there’s plenty of that).
