Ann Coulter continues to prove her complete lack humanity and intelligence.

Jeez, I wish I’d been on this train.   These people did not enjoy this enough.

I have officially heard of everything.

Now when you eat gluten-free is will really be gluten-free. WHA?

Even if I become a celebrity?

Target: September 14: Joseph Altuzarra drops. Who’s gonna take me, I will have just had the bunion decapitated.

My latest obsession. I want them all.

No kidding. It’s like learning a language when you’re young vs. old.  Duh.

The weather is super spectacular. I want to marry it. That is all.

I am not happy about the Algerian plane crash, but I am happy to know it crashed and didn’t just DISA-FUCKING-PEAR like Malaysia fight MH370 (where is that plane).

I could eat a whole watermelon. This is not a joke. I am like that hotdog guy who always wins the eating contest. Here are some interesting new ways to eat them, as if I needed a new way.

I gotta say that little Prince George is one cute little dude.

Love Michelle Obama. Here she is on working mom’s. I had one of those part time gigs where I thought I was gaming the system, but really, the agency was getting five days of work from me, and paying me for the three I was “officially” working.

I could have told you this about dogs.  #rileypracticallysitsonmyheadwhenipetotherpooches.

Lush eyebrows are so back in. Wish I still had my high school unibrow.

Countdown to bunion decapitation surgery: 49 days.

Really good website discovery: Medium. Happy reading.

I love a little whimsy.

A seriously great commercial. Ah, graduation always gets me.

One of my students just snagged herself a totally fabulous first job. She thanked me. #yayforjamiegladicouldhelp.

Who doesn’t need a little color for the summer?

Peter asked Jake to trim the hedges–curious if this is what he was thinking?

And you thought I never agreed with Republicans.

In case you know, you want to try out for Cirque du Soleil at some point.

My boy is coming home tomorrow! Let the summer begin.

I love Tina Fey like I love my family. Seriously. And damn, I love these commercials.

Does anyone else hope it rains on Kim Kardashian’s ass on her wedding day? This spectacle makes me want to turn in my “citizen of humanity” badge.

I am hot for the Mad Men mid-season finale. I’m just hoping it’s as totally excellent and fulfilling as last week’s show, which really might be my favorite of the series.

It’s amazing what’s going on outside your house.

Team Angelina.

This documentary about Roger Ebert looks really, really good.

Is this why I’m always hungry?

Hey Jake, this could be good news for you. One less thing to wash.

Kind of loving this new site I found.

Good move NBA. Donald Sterling shouldn’t just be banned from basketball, he should be from living with the rest of us.

One of my top five foods is eggs. Talk about versatility.

It’s spring. I have major de-clutter mania. 

Named best magazine cover of the year: Boston wins.

Reading The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, who just snagged the Pulitzer for it. Epic writing. Mega engaging story.

Great article on why Louis C.K. is the funniest dude there is. Agreed.

I went away for eight days, came back and ALL the flowering trees are blooming. I should go away more often.

This video is a little piece of what makes Boston the best.

90% of the people on South Beach should not be wearing a thong. It’s like an ass-a-thon. But not a pretty one.

I have such a hard time meditating, but no problem laughing, so this is some very good news.

mini-4The Pay-It-Forward system is a winner.

Twitter makes Marie Claire look stupid. Good job, Twitter.

And let’s hear it for SELF-ESTEEM.

So, that’s why we haven’t re-done the bathroom.

Gosh, I love a sweet potato.

Letterman’s retiring, let’s get us a woman to take his place. (p.s. not that i’m up that late anymore, but still.)

Red Sox Nation gathers for the first game of the season. Go, Sox!

The brotherhood of firemen is like the most perfect thing I’ve ever seen.

That’s some flower power.

As if the 17 year old super talent, Lorde isn’t cool enough, this just made her a brilliant, too.

Hey wait, I thought there was a treat involved. Dogs react to magic.

The mother of invention.

A girl and her dog (you know I’m helpless in the face of pooch pics).

micro, macro, beautiful.

I’m a sucker for any before and after’s. Here’s a fun one. You can play too. Just get out your pictures.

Mindy Kaling’s not only hysterical, she’s smart.

New Lorrie Moore out now: Bark. Can’t wait to read.

Kim and Kanye on the cover. Team Sarah Michelle Gellar–who cares?

Listen, marriage is hard. I’ve been at it for 26 years, but I’m just a little grateful the perfect Gwyneth, who’s been selling us how to live, isn’t so perfect after all, but perhaps just a marketing genius.

This is a little like that old game “Mystery Date,” but way better.

I can’t really believe these are paintings.

This isn’t exactly a gratitude, it’s just a question, WHERE IS THE FUCKING PLANE? This is what I think, in case anybody cares, and nobody should, since I have no aviation knowledge whatsoever, except for that I don’t think it makes any sense that those things stay in the air to begin with. I think that the plane was hijacked by terrorists, and on the way to doing whatever they were going to do with it, the pilots or passengers put up a fight, and the plane crashed. I don’t know where but that’s what I think. Here’s where the New Yorker comes down on the issue.

I’m really grateful to my art director partner and friend Stephanie Zelman. She is talented and all that, but she is so good to me. All the time. No matter what. And I love her for it.

YES!  No limits, baby.

Nice article on tv finales. And we know I love me some good tv.

Best use of Facebook. And in Massachusetts, yet! Love.

More good closet storage solutions.

Scandal: yeah, OMG, indeed.

I love anything Jackie O. These photos, included.

Right now it’s 18, but tomorrow will be 54. Migraine alert.

So grateful for all the messages from friends about the passing of my awesome uncle Louie. I am very, very sad. Your thoughts and love make me feel better. Thank you. A lot.

My friend Bob, did a story on the preserving the marathon memorial in Copley Square for WBZ, and guess who he interviewed?! I’m about 30 seconds into the video.

In other news, it’s cold. AGAIN.

Tomorrow night, Lena Dunham is hosting Saturday Night Live. CAN. NOT. WAIT.

Good stuff on creative people.

They aren’t dogs or babies, but still.

I particularly like the two presidents having sex.

My poor boy Riley was diagnosed with Lyme disease last week, but is finally starting to feel a little better. Big woof to the inventor of antibiotics.

Grateful to all those moms who came to the high school to paint for the After the Prom Party last night. Flower Power.

I heard a rumor that it’s going to be 40 this weekend. I’m thinking of going to the beach.

Ally lost her phone. It tracks to a house on Cypress Street. Please return it, the whining is killing me.
