Santa Wants Me To Be So Mad Luxurious
Do you know what I can do now, post-Christmas, that I couldn’t do before?
I can crack open a bottle of wine from a CASE OF WINE, sit in a CASHMERE BLAZER with CASHMERE FINGERLESS GLOVES and A CASHMERE SCARF, play SCRABBLE SUPERDELUXE EDITION or SIMS 3 WORLD EXPLORER EXPANSION PACK, fix myself an elaborate dinner prepared in a CUISINART ELITE FOOD PROCESSOR and LE CREUSET CASSEROLE with a...

My parents are in town for Christmas, and they’re staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel, which is owned by the Dorchester group (which bought The Hotel Bel Air in 2008 and immediately installed some stupid-looking modern sculptures and fountains for no apparent reason). Ever since a very kind employer put them up at the Bel Air Hotel 20 years or so ago, it’s been where my folks stay every...

The Saddest Story In The World
A month ago I bought some rustic apple tarts, La Brea bakery by way of Gelson’s.
Me: Mmm!
P: These are good!
Me: Should I put some ice cream on them?
P: Oh yes, for sure.
Me: Ooh, they have raisins! Mm!
P: Oh, yes, raisins.
Me: Wait, are these — is this —
P: What? [big bite]
Me: Oh my God, stop eating, stop eating!
P: Mm, why? Oh boy, these are great!
Me: THEY’RE...

GRANDPA TORINO
by Tess Lynch
If, when Chad proposed that we do this Christmas-themed week, he meant “any movie that reminds you of Christmas, by way of your own tangled synapses,” then I’m right on target with this essay. If, however, he meant that the movies on which we’re writing this week are supposed to be about Christmas, I’m in trouble. Oh well! I guess I’ll find out...

Until the coroner’s report is complete, a process that can take up to eight weeks, it will be unclear what caused Murphy’s death at such a young age, but if there is anything to be gained from her tragically young demise, it may be a raised awareness of the dangers of sudden death, Zipes says. “There are approximately 1,000 sudden deaths a day in the United States,” he...

Things That Make Me Laugh
(inspired by Molly’s epic This Recording Post of a similar nature)
Stupid lyrics
When animals feel ashamed of their outfits
Parrotheads
White people
When Dave Matthews broke his rib in a freak grape-eating accident
The unbridled hatred people have for Dane Cook
People who become anxious wondering if their soda is diet
Japanese toys
Confessional vlogging

The Office
I have a great new pitch for a show!
Okay, so it takes place in an office, but it’s not like The Office. This office will be way more like real offices. So we’ll follow our lead character, Mary, through a day at work, okay, just so you get an idea of what I mean.
OPEN ON MARY IN THE CAR. IT’S REALLY EARLY. SHE’S IN TRAFFIC. SHE CALLS HER BOSS.
