I am drowsy, tired, eyes are literally closing as I type this but I want to type this, so I will go on because we should do what we want, even when adversity is in our way. This is not real adversity, of course, but small adversity. These little bits of conflict and obstacles and all these small truths..these can sometimes weigh you down or lift you up more than the big ones. They are valid. Who is to say they’re not.
Sometimes when you have a lot of shit going on in your life, or a lot of little nothings, and you feel that nothing is progressing and that things are stagnant, you just need to look around and recalibrate. You need to realize that the world around you is as replete with little pleasures as it is with little indecencies.
You started a new job at a PR firm that really has the potential to be something great, to be a path to a life that you never imagined for yourself but could turn out to be something magical.
You are laying in bed, drinking Thai Iced Coffee from a plastic container and you turn off the projector, decide to finish “To Kill A Mockingbird” another time, because the old will always be there to be enjoyed, but right now is time for the new.
You see the Eat, Pray, Love Premiere with good company and revel in Julia Roberts’ warmth.
You get an unexpected text telling you, ” I think of all my friends in ny, you’re the most fun to be around. Looking forward to seeing you more in the fall.”
Two of your best friends in this whole wide world are moving to your city and they are going to be at your fingertips sooner than you can imagine.
Your sister’s fiancee calls you out of the blue and asks you to be a groomsman in his wedding. He tells you he would really like for you to be standing there at the altar beside him.
It’s the little things. The little things that are the biggest.

Dinner with a Celebrity
An evening dining with Julia Roberts, the pretty woman herself, would be just swell. Where would we eat, you ask? Well, that is a very good question. We would eat at the most glamorous place in town, of course. But the town would not be Manhattan, Los Angeles, or any other cosmopolitan locale where people go to see and be seen. No, we would eat at somewhere out of the way. Somewhere where there is privacy and decorum. Somewhere where the locals could spot me dining with a star of Julia’s magnitude and fawn. Simply fawn.
Julia would order Steak Frites, because she is not one of those stars. You know…the celebrities who in interviews swear that they never eat junk and rarely exercise. The same stars who say that they don’t use a nanny because they’re JUST.LIKE.US. Well, Julia’s the real deal. And she’s eating steak and fries. And a cocktail. Maybe two! Old-fashioneds. (She is a big fan of Mad Men after all, and besides George —-Clooney, that is—- used to drink them all the time when they vacationed together at his home on Lake Como.)
The stories she would dish out to me concerning her Hollywood colleagues would be as delicious as my Lamb Milanese. Did you know that Susan Sarandon is a coke fiend? Or that Richard Gere can play the ukelele? Neither did I before my evening with Julia. But these are the things you learn when dining with a star of her caliber. Things would get serious for a moment. Her eyes would well with tears as she tells me how she started acting as a way to compensate for the lack of attention her parents gave her as a child. But then, as if with the flip of a switch, she would flash that megawatt smile. “But look at me now,” she would say. Look at me now. With a toothy grin like that, who could refuse?

After Jennifer Love Hewitt admitted on the George Lopez show that she vajazzled her “precious lady” (see above) I am amused to see that this trend is actually, well, a trend.
Here’s a NY MAG article on putting the diamonds in the (hopefully not so) rough.
“When we saw Joann Pailey, the market director of Elle, wearing tiny diamonds glued on her eyelids at the annual Diamond Deco Ball at the Frick last night, we felt compelled to ask her what she thought about vajazzling, the new trend in which salons are offering to affix tiny Swarovski crystals to their customers’ bikini lines. Pailey looked at us blankly. “Va-what?” We explained. “I think I’m gonna stick with the eyes,” she said.
Frick Young Collectors chair Lydia Fenet was also not onboard. “I mean, I don’t want to rule it out, because I don’t want to insult any of my friends who might have this,” she offered, diplomatically. “But it’s not something I need to see. Especially at the Diamond Deco Ball.” But some of the other socialites in attendance were more open. “I think it’s kind of cool,” said publicist Susan Shin. “It’s a little bit of fun. It’s like that secret that you know you have that nobody else does. And you have that little smirk on your face, and you’re like, “Well … ” She reflected. “But you definitely have to be waxed if you’re going to do it, otherwise things can get pretty gnarly.” “I support whatever makes somebody feel beautiful,” said publicist Alison Aston. “I mean, I’ve heard of people doing, like carving out things, you know, as a design, tattoos, you know … and Swarovski crystal? How beautiful. Go for it.” But would she do it herself? “I don’t know if I want to answer that,” she said. Austin Scarlett, the lip-glossed candidate from an early season of Project Runway, approved of the impulse behind the idea, but quibbled with the material. “Generally any form of personal adornment I think is wonderful,” he said. “It’s human nature to want to beautify oneself. But I’d rather maybe some gold powder or something like that.” “You know, for Valentine’s Day I got a little fun toy, dot dot dot,” purred jewelry designer Coralie Charriol Paul. “So, you know, whatever tickles your down there.” “I think any help we can get in the bedroom, the better,” added Lisa “Lulu” Salzer, of jewelry line Lulu Frost. “I think it’s great,” declared designer Leslie Blume. “I’m sorry, I think it’s really, really, funny. And I remember ten years ago there was this Gucci campaign when Tom Ford was really hot, and he had all of his models strip down and there were shaved G’s in their pubes. I thought that was just a delight. Why the hell not? Why not? You know, we have too few ways to express ourselves in today’s society. Twitter is a bore.”
BECAUSE TWITTER IS A BORE.

Lost: The Plane Crash, in Chronological Order.
Brilliant. I can’t wait for all the inevitable DVD releases, that re-shuffle the show according to chronological order, or individual character’s storylines.
But I moreso can’t wait for Season Six. EVENT TELEVISION
