who knew



I just learned from my new friend, last.fm, that the one and only britta phillips was the voice of JEM! britta was in one of my favorite bands, luna. currently in a lovely duo called dean and britta (with dean wareham from luna). had no idea she was the voice of jem ("truly outrageous"). i loved jem as a child and remember the day in like second grade when mom picked me up from school and presented me with a jem doll. i remember the doll had a really cool pink dress on. and that is all.

the latest

Dear Me, Mom, Dad, and Zach,

Apparently you are not the only ones who read my blog. I recently became aware that my blog had a setting in it which made it searchable. For example, if you type someone's name or a hotel (that may or may not be a client we work on. apparently that is top secret) it will take you to my link. I have since turned off that setting. Less creepy. Now I can go ahead, confidently in my dorky entries without the fear that my client, boss, etc is reading about what my cats did today.

with that being said. here is the latest.

the casstevens came to vegas! it was a great trip. it gave zach and i a good reason to visit the liberace museum which i used to pass everyday on my way to work. the costume room was amazing. i am attaching a photo of dad posing with his favorite of the costumes, the stars and stripes hot pants number. esther treated us with spa treatments at red rock and dad treated us with a fun dinner at tao. i am very excited because claire is starting school at vassar in new york this week!!! cannot believe it.

zach and i returned last weekend from NYC. the main purpose of the trip was to see zach's team (um . . our team, i mean) play the last game we will ever see them play in the historic yankee stadium before they tear it down. here is the amazing part. they actually won! usually if zach's presence is detected in the stadium they will lose, no doubt. but it was a grueling 13 innings of not much happening. until finally the yankees got that extra run making the score 3 to 2. all i cared about was the fact that i got my stadium hot dog and popcorn. we had really good seats as you can see in the one of Jeter's back to us. Mom and Steve kindly got the tickets and airfare despite their loyalty to the Boston Red Sox. that is love.

i think the other highlight of the trip may have been just walking around and getting knishes off the carts. well, there were other highlights. we saw zach's friend keith from SVA who photographed our wedding, we also met up with zach's ex boss who led us into a bar surrounded by rockabillie asians in the east village. this is where the inevitable happened. shake face.

but of course, the biggest news of the day is Biden has been chosen for Obama's Vice President.
