I still don’t quite understand how it happened. One minute I was eating salad, next minute it was all over my keyboard and a little bit was on my floor. And honestly, I think I was more disappointed over the loss of salad than the potential keyboard destruction but that’s probably because I got this keyboard from the IT dept at Time Out New York. They have (or had) baskets of old banged up keyboards that you can take for free. I played with each one making sure it was lively and social. There was one that I thought I wanted but the minute I got on the ground with it it just fell asleep. Then this little guy came up to me and pushed its N key against my hand. Spunky! We took to each other instantly. “I’m going to take you home and put salad all over you!” I announced, and that was that.
A list I wrote was linked on NY Times humor blog
In times of stress I like to google myself. Also in times of joy and sometimes just when I’m bored. Well anyway, I just found this though it’s from Sept. My McSweeney’s list of pick up lines to use while moving is linked here.

On the Red Eye set
Sometimes they put me in the studio as opposed to the newsroom. I always try to do something completely inappropriate like lick the tabletop before leaving so it never happens again. Also, this sweater was too big and fit weird and I was kind of hating that I wore it though I like the color.
Joe McDonald is awesome and made this awesome video of Anna and me on Red Eye last night
Yay!
Another green room shot
Bill, Anna and Dr. Baden who totally complimented my earrings a few weeks ago. The man appreciates smart accessories.

Wherein I'm wearing a hat and admitting to assholish feelings
Anna took some videos tonight which I’m sure are far more watchable than this one which I took on my blackberry in the back of the car after Red Eye. Bill Schulz was in the front seat and Anna David, Joshua McCarroll and I were in the back talking about how we feel about our friends’ successes.
About the run-in with the guy doing magic tricks
Me shooting Anna shooting me
wait, actually it should be “Anna shooting me shooting Anna”
"Hey Anna, let me take a picture of us"
Anna, upon seeing shot: "Well that's very telling." Later I shot a similar video. Apparently I only have eyes for me.
