CRINGE upstairs at The George Pub, 213 The Strand, London WC2R 1AP

7:30 pm

Live From Studio Five will be there filming, if that influences your decision to go in a positive manner.

Books and drinks readily available for small amounts of money, which would influence my decision much more if I were you.

“So you’re saying the decade began with a self-indulgent half-true memoir by a character with a victim complex put upon by a society that doesn’t understand him while he self-consciously manipulates a cult following and that it ended with a self-indulgent half-true memoir by a character with a victim complex put upon by a society that doesn’t understand her while she self-consciously manipulates a cult following?”

Having very unfortunately caught the end of The Hulk this afternoon while completely sober, I see now why I thought this movie was shot in black and white. Because it mostly was, save for some bad green and purple.

I’d feel bad for calling Jon’s dad except that I remember how much he enjoyed it.

“Amy Poehler: What’s some good advice your mother gave you?

Tina Fey: Always wear a bra. Whether you think you need it or not, just wear one. You’re not going to look back and regret that. I also remember her telling me one time in middle school that if a boy ever asked me on a date and I didn’t want to go, I should make sure I was polite about it, which was hilarious because she gave me that advice about 15 years too early. I was like, “Mom, it’s not coming up, it’s fine.” She was like, “Just make sure you’re kind.”

AP: There are a lot of girls who look at you as a role model. Maybe they’re really smart and funny but aren’t quite getting a lot of boy attention, and they’re stressed out about it. What would you say to them?

TF: You know what? Let the boys practice on other girls. Let them treat other girls like crud, let them learn how to French kiss for, like, 10 years, let them give some other girl a bunch of crappy Valentine’s Day gifts, and then you just move in when they’re fully formed.”

twentysomethingtales:

What I’m totally missing from the United States right now…

And yes, I am procrastinating like crazy today. I really need to get working. Instead I decided to have a tablespoon of Nutella and make a Photoshop collage.

Baby carrots.

Rosebud Salve.

Mario Badescu drying lotion.

My New York magazine subscription. Especially for knowing that every Monday night was reserved for me-time with the crossword at the back of the mag.

The Atlantic Monthly, which I didn’t subscribe to, but bought pretty regularly.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Not like I really eat these more than once or twice a year…but not being able to have them makes me crave them.

Pinkberry. I might just try out this “My-Berry” business they have going on in Paris, but I’m slightly afraid. Furthermore…Pinkberry DELIVERY. Best. Thing. Ever.

My regular face wash, Clean & Clear deep clean cream cleanser. (Try saying that five times fast.)

Hulu. And Netflix.

I can send you some Reese’s and Rosebud Salve from London if you like (they sell the latter at American Apparel here). My own list would be much less glamorous: the L’eggs black microfiber tights they sell for $5 at Duane Reade; Smuckers seedless blackberry jam; Karo syrup; cornbread stuffing; my preferred lady times product; that pre-shredded pre-ziploc’ed monterey jack cheese for nachos.

Leo, you are a fancy lady and I am… from Oklahoma.

P.S. Oh wait, also the New Yorker and 30 Rock.

P.P.S. And Kiehl’s tea tree oil shampoo. Okay, I’m not entirely a Kraft Foods-craving knuckle-scraper.

three happinesses for today

The happiness of being missed.

The happiness of staying in bed all day listening to Neil Young.

The happiness of roadkill that turns out to be not roadkill at all, but a clump of leaves, or a paper bag, or a discarded sweatshirt.

Tracie sent me this yesterday, but I didn’t check my email until this morning, so probably all of America knows about this already and they’re rolling their eyes at me, all sleepy in Europe.

SMM-

Your choices are all quite good, but this is actually the #1 Thanksgiving afternoon/evening film of all time.

I suggest you agree with me, lest you want to spend the evening on the third floor with Fuller, who has not gone easy on the Pepsi.

Correction: the best Thanksgiving Day movie is Addams Family Values. This is fact, unassailable, absolutely above discussion or question.

Oh yeah, I thought everyone knew this? We are planning an American Thanksgiving in England, and this is second on my to-do list of crucial ingredients, right after Locating Cornmeal.
