    Take Action

    Celebrity Sightings

    • Christina Applegate and Chole Sevigny
      at the BWE 100th episode party. They are both so blonde. That color blonde that does not exist in real life but only with chemical enhancement. They're beautiful though.
    • Melba Moore
      in the airport in Nairobi, Kenya! We smiled at each other over Nescafe (aka coffee).
    • Parker Posey
      at Murray's Bagels. She looked really punk rock.
    • Jessica Lange and Sam Shephard
      at A History of Violence at Cinema Village. They were so cute and followed us everywhere from the movies to Cedar Tavern and back to the movies. They probably thought we were following them.
    • Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe
      pushing their baby down 13th Street. I was having a meeting at Cosi around the corner from my overcrowded office. I looked out the window and there they were. They stopped in front of my window and were doing the, who should take the baby conversation. I was trying to listen to the person talking to me but I could not and she was not the type of person who would understand my distraction by these celebs. They are both really attractive but almost too much so. His sneakers were new. His jeans were new. It was weird. I like imperfection.
    • Joshua Redman
      running on 18th Street. I realized that I've seen him many times before and just did not realize it. He was smaller than I thought he's be but I guess most people are.
    • Patti Smith
      which was not a big deal to me but my friend Marina apparently sees her all the time. This was her fourth sighting. I said she should say something like, "I see you everywhere. We should hang out." Marina wouldn't take the bait.
    • Leonardo DiCaprio
      with Isha on our way to the PATH station on 9th Street and 6th Ave. He is very tall but as my friend says, one cheeseburger away from being fat. His bodyguard "subtely" was wearing a jogging suit next to him. I guess they exercise together. He wasn't so hot to me but another girl flipped out when she saw him so what do I know.
    • Sam Rockwell and Liev Schreiber
      on New Year's Eve but you gotta buy me a few drinks to hear that story.
    • John Turturro
      in Union Square looking tall and handsome. I’ve always had a strange little crush on him.

    How To Save A Life

    400pxgreat_falls_on_the_potomac_river_1I had a great, great weekend in Washington D.C. Here's why:

    I saw a friend from college that I always enjoy seeing. We went hiking along the Potomac River which you see here thanks to our friends at Wikipedia. We talked for hours about the complicated painful things in our lives and the cool wonderful things. She got a little action that I hope works out for her.

    We got sucked into the NFL Draft. She is a big football fan. I am not but love the drama that surrounds sports. I got all invested in which guys went when. Plus Vince Young and Matt Leinert are cuties. Poor Matt going to sucky Arizona. And Denzel Washington's son was in the draft. Just a fun fact.

    I had dinner with a friend that I did Habitat for Humanity with in South Africa. We had yummy Moroccan food at Utopia which I highly recommend and drank too much.

    On Sunday I saw my Uncle Charles and it was so great to hang out with him. It was so nice to be with someone that has known me my whole life. I am so rarely around that and he is just such a great guy. I feel like I have been trying to connect with all of these new people in my life when I had family around me all along. It was a nice feeling.

    I also got a ton of writing done. 15 pages to be exact!

    My friend gave me two cds and I am loving The Fray. I can not stop listening to How To Save A Life. I am smitten.

    I did miss The West Wing & Grey's Anatomy but it's just TV. Or at least, that's what I am telling myself.

    I do love D.C. D.C. and Chicago are two cities I have little crushes on.

    I wish I could tell you that you didn't miss much, but "West Wing" was quite sweet. Alan Alda is a damn good actor. And "Grey's Anatomy" ...well, damn. Alex was an A**HOLE and Denny looks even better when he's standing up. I think it's the water on the set because he doesn't look nearly as good on "Supernatural."

    Isn't amazing how charming and beautiful DC can be and yet to live there is to feel all the things that make DC the antithesis to NYC. I just couldn't hang. But G-d its beautiful in the spring. RE: Uncle Charles- it never ceases to amaze me how the old adage:"Often what you're looking for is staring you right in the face" is so true. Congrats on the pages and the life well saved!
