BFF
I hope you have a BFF like mine. One whose voice on the other end of the phone can make your blood pressure go back to normal. One who you’re quite certain has never said a truly mean word about you behind your back. One who lets you throw up all over her sublet when you get food poisoning while visiting her. One who if you hurt her feelings, you’re in a terrible mood until you make it right....

I just filed my adoption papers. This kid is going to dance at every party I ever have. If you want to see the full interview and hear this little pipsqueak talk click the link.
My children will be required to do this OR star in a drumline. Either one.
Confession: City Poser
Hi, my name is Genna and I’m a city poser. I had a sneaking suspicion, but this trip has proved it. I’ve been in LA for three days and I’ve turned into a completely different person.
Evidence (you know I love bulleted lists):
I have voluntarily exercised every afternoon. My gym membership in NYC has been frozen for three months.
Jack Johnson has mysteriously jumped...

First Impressions
I’ve only been in LA for like four hours but I’ve already started comparing it to New York.
In LA, all the restaurants have a valet line of ridiculous cars where douchebaggery runs amuck. In New York, democracy reigns — everyone either walks or gets out of the same smelly cab. (Point: NYC)
In LA, there is a personal oxygenation system in my hotel room. In New York, the air in my apartment...

Off to La La Land
The forecast says its going to be 80 and sunny all week. I’m staying on Sunset Blvd in a hotel with a pool, and I’ve verified with the concierge that they’ve never had any kind of rodent activity. If there’s a Pinkberry, I may never come back.

Bl(blog)og
For a big part of the New York media and hipstery population, personal blogging — especially on tumblr — is totally normal. I’m currently “following” 33 people, and they post in a similar theme and frequency as I do. But it’s definitely a weird thing to have a blog; to put yourself out there with each post — “I think this story about my ride on the...

Oldest Child Syndrome
Being the oldest of three kids has probably influenced who I am today more than any other part of my childhood. I definitely took it way further than most and appointed myself Most Overbearing Big Sister on Earth.
I must have read Face On the Milk Carton too many times in middle school because I was convinced my little sister was going to get kidnapped on my watch. She probably still has...
One man's trash...
You know how everyone’s always talking about finding amazing things on the street in the city and turning them into beautiful art or furniture? Well I always get left out of that club because I don’t want to put my pajamas in a dresser that a Chihuahua has peed on. BUT on the way back from lunch yesterday, I had my golden opportunity.
The school across the street from my office was installing...

Subway Shorts: Worst Commute To Date
It started when I was slammed in between the doors getting on the 6 train. Big deal, that happens all the time, I shook it off.
Then, when I was getting off the 6 train, someone accidently kicked my flip flop off and it flew across the platform and into the 4/5 train on the other side. I decided to go after it, and the train doors closed before I could get off. Fifteen minutes later, I was...

My Mom Still Owns My @ss
Mom: Hey!
me: Hey Mom!
Mom: I caught up on your blog today. You've had some funny ones lately.
me: Oh thank--
Mom: But you need to go ahead and take down the word "godd@mn" right now.

Mom: It's in the Kappa Kappa Genna entry. Go change it.

me: Yes ma'am.
Mom: Okay bye doll, love you!
The Women of the '08 Election
Everyone’s been blogging, twittering and facebooking about politics so much lately that its all starting to feel a bit played out. So…in an effort to join the conversation in a meaningful and philisophical way, I decided to use my sick Photoshop skillz to illustrate who I think should play the women of the election in a movie. PS: Bristol and Willow Palin and Malia and Sasha Obama...
