Just to be over then back to another one.

Look, it's been a pretty busy week all around so I haven't had time to post! It'll be much better after this weekend. Should I list it all out for you?

On Monday, I met up for post-work drinks with Zan - a monthly ritual. It includes amazing Pear Martinis. We sit at a table by the window of Whiskey Park, a bar on Central Park South. We talk about a myriad of things, but this past Monday we saw many a suit pass by and deduced that these were people having to do with the Fox up-fronts. They were going into Central Park following signs that said "FOX" and big balloons with "GLEE" written on them. It was pretty sad how much detective work we did when all we really had to do was ask one of the suits. Or, ya know, make our brains work faster. These monthly get-togethers are so much fun, though, and I'm looking forward to June's!

I'm still pining the Pine. In fact. Look at this picture of Chris Pine & Zoe Saldana in Japan -

Could a blond crack my Top Five?! On a related note, somebody coined the term "Pine Flu" on the internet this morning, and I'm taking it.

Also, Zan attempted to guess my Top Five just from reading this blog, and she was very close except she included Keanu Reeves! Keanu is totally a fascination, not a crush. He hasn't written me in a while... Anyway, can you guess my Top Five?

I'm currently reading the 900-page behemoth that is 2666 by Roberto Bolano. I love it so far. The version I have is split into three books/volumes, so I'm getting mighty ambitious with this cross-country trip - I'm bringing all three. I've got really long flights...

I got a good haircut in New York! Yes! And it wasn't too expensive, meaning, I shall be going back. They took off a few inches (my hair is getting long long long) and it's all healthy and fun now. I'm excited to know there's someone I can turn to in the city for my haircutting needs - and it won't cost me $100. Whatchoo think?

On Tuesday night, I accompanied Erica to Trainwreck, where Dave Holmes was guest-DJing, and the fellows from Passion Pit were there to celebrate their latest release, Manners! Check it out! It was a fun time, and Mr. Holmes (remember that guy who lost to Jesse Camp in that MTV VJ contest but then continued to have a better career with MTV than the winner? THAT'S Dave Homes) was a very nice dude.

Last night I had a lovely date with Kells and Erica at Sweet Emily's (addicted, fact.) and we've decided to continue this three-fifths of Curbside tradition for a weekly date. Next week? Possibly...perhaps...seeing Star Trek again. Kelly hasn't seen it!! And I think I've convinced her with my flurry of Pine pictures. I think I've infected her. PINE FLU!

Then Erica and I came home, watch Kris Allen win American Idol as the Entertainment Weekly with Adam Lambert sat on our coffee table, and then I packed and I'M LEAVING TODAY AT NOON FOR LOS ANGELES!

Jesse awaits me and I couldn't be more excited to see my dude and get some FACETIME in. Sporadic updates will ensue this weekend, but I should be back to full-fledged afterwards.

What are you doing for Memorial Day Weekend?

Sit right down and make me smile.

Last night, o, beloved last night.

My friends, my friends! I know I write about how much I love them all the time, but I DO. They keep me going. And they definitely kept me going last night.

Because I wake up at 7AM every morning, I tend to leave Trainwreck by midnight at the latest. Well, last night, I was having too much fun to leave. I was dancing to Erica, Rob, and Baya's jams. Making new friends who work for magazines. Discussing Twilight and wastes of life with Katie Brown. Shaking it with Perry, Gaby and Jiscilla. And lots of other people, of course.

Random conversation last night:

Dude: You're engaged to the guy from Motion City Soundtrack, right?
Me: Haha, yes...
Dude: When they play New York, can my friend and I get backstage passes? You see -
Me: They're not playing New York.
Dude (continues to talk, not hearing me): I mean, I'm not really a fan, but I'm a fan of the bands they're touring with...
Me: Yeah, that's the way to get a favor out of me.

FAIL!

Also, part of the reason I stayed is 'cause somebody thought that since I was engaged, I might have CHILDREN. In a joking manner, but meant to call out my nerdy early night. My stubbornness got the best of me. I got another drink. Whatever, I'm a cool mom.

Oh, and Tyler and I noticed that Pete Wentz was there as we walked out. No Ashlee. I don't think? Anyway, I was having too much fun screaming the words to "There's a Party in Your Bedroom" and dancing around to care.

Tyler and I did step out into a monsoon, though. I was carrying KB's copy of Twilight, so I didn't want to get it wet on the walk to the subway, so I just put my coat on top of my head and hugged the book close while Tyler guided me down the sidewalks like I was blind. Good dude. We had a conversation this morning -

Tyler: I didn't even remember why my clothes were all soaked.
Tyler: So I figured it rained or I peed everywhere
Me: Yeah, that's a legit thought.

Ha! So now I'm waiting for this quite busy work day to be over, because you know what's waiting for me?? COUCH! TV! YES! And oh boy, my Pie Maker comes back tonight...

It's no Fianz replacement (OBVS!), but I fully anticipate warm, fuzzy feelings while watching the Pushing Daisies premiere.

Speaking of the Fianz, he tucked me into bed last night with his voice, as he does every night, and I am so excited for his extended break from tour starting on Sunday. I can't stop thinking about it! I'm squealing! Yay! Love life! My friends! Kittens! Unicorns! Wow, I'm annoying.
