Karaoke!
As announced earlier this week, Mo and I have actually organized karaoke for this evening. Hooray!
Before you head to your various New Year’s Eve Eve festivities, come to K-Town from 8-10 pm and sing your face off for a few hours. Details here. Come one, come all!

Awesome TV alert!
So, I know that The Internet is buzzing about Ronna and Beverly. And they should! It’s hilarious and original and should have been picked up. However, I have a bit of a personal connection to the whole story: Brandon worked on the show, and has been saying for the past several months how ridiculous and awful it was that Showtime passed on the pilot.
Thank god for second chances! The pilot...
It is coming.
Prepare yourselves, New York-based karaoke aficionados. There is a massive Karaoke Outing being prepared by yours truly and Mo truly for Wednesday, December 30th (otherwise known as New Year’s Eve Eve).
I plan on revisiting my old Mayoral grounds for some excellent BYOB, tambourining, and shrimp chips.

Totally agree. If you’re a man and unmarried, being 30 something and wanting kids is admirable, a sign that you’re becoming an adult. If you’re a woman and unmarried, being 30 something and wanting kids means you’re desperate, lonely, and two steps away from robbing a sperm bank.

Bonus to Holiday Airport Madness
Getting to stand next to a deliciously dishy Josh Radnor. Just as cute as in real life, ladies. Even when obviously cranky and hating the TSA.

You're Not Fooling Anyone, Campbell-Ewald
For those of you not in advertising, Campbell-Ewald is an almost-100-year-old agency based in Detroit. It makes most of its money off of Big Money clients (Health Care, Automotive, Armed Forces).
In an industry where being “hip” is king, being viewed as old, stodgy and (gasp!) traditional is a death sentence. So C-E did the equivalent of ditching Talbots and buying a whole new...

Anticipates Your Presence!
A friend of mine had her email jacked by a spam bot, but the resulting email (which I assume is a bad computer translation) is hilarious:

Realization
Kurt’s dad from Glee is the same dude from those Time Warner ads. Supporting the gay sons and not killing the puppies FTW.

This reminds me: all I want for Christmas is for Elton John and Lady Gaga to have a beef.
Brian Ulicky, you’re my hero. I’ll come rescue you at Julian’s anytime.
It’s JULIUS, Kate. GET IT RIGHT. (When’s the next Stevie Team Meeting?)
Oh, CRAP. I knew that. This is what happens when you keep me away from The Bar With The Best Jukebox And The Most Sads...

Field Guide To High School Relationships
pinkindiaink:
Doing a multi-part SparkNotes field guide to HS relationships.
The entire time I was writing this, I could hear the dialogue from Mean Girls echoing in my head. (“Girls who eat their feelings, girls who don’t eat anything, sexually active band geeks…”)
Um, Kat? You’re wearing sweatpants. It’s Monday. YOU CAN’T SIT WITH US!

BREAKING NEWS
Remember LA Gear? The funky colored hi-tops that Paula Abdul loved that came with the little California license plates?
That’s right, of course you do. I bet you thought they disappeared a long time ago, right?
WRONG. They still exist, and you can actually buy them out here. In fact, you can buy the pair pictured above (for a whopping $75!), as it is from their 2009 line. Even better,...

Rachel stumbled on the Ur-blog. “The one all the blog-haters must be reading,” she tells me. It’s about eating waffles and watching TV in the big city!
I might be addicted to Starbucks flavored hot chocolate. Oh my goodness, it’s so good! The gingerbread and the peppermint ones: SO YUMMY!! I highly recommend them.
Oh my goodness … it’s deep and gruff and sounds like he needs to...
Congrats!
A huge, heartfelt congratulations to Soraya, Rachel, Dennis, Naveen, Richard, Morgan, and Brian for making it into the 2009 Silicon Alley 100. Way to go, you guys! Totally deserved.
The sad part is that I know how this goes.

Problem: The buttons in the dialog boxes of this web application are named very differently (“add”, “save”, “delete”). That confuses the user.
Solution: All buttons have to be renamed (standardization) to “apply”

Best joke: probably naming the movie “city (comma) state”
Excuse me, Nick, but it’s HOMESTAR Runner, not Homester.
Thanks stopping by, you guys. Thanks for breaking my cow lamp.
I haz a website!
Fortunately, it’s not written in Kitty Pidgin. But it does have an interactive resume!
