Meena is Trying to Kill Me
Meena had me up at least six times last night. That’s about once an hour. There is no way I am getting any sort of valuable sleep. I’ve nodded off at work twice this week and, last time I checked, that’s not very professional behavior. She climbs up on the nightstands on either side of the bed and starts messing with things. She’ll throw my clock on the floor, or my phone, sometimes she’ll turn off my alarm…drives me nuts. She will stop if I brandish the spray bottle at her, but I don’t want to wake up, PERIOD. This weekend — no lie — I am going to wrap the nightstands in aluminum foil. Cats supposedly hate it. Hoping it will deter her from the nightstands, but my guess is that she’s going to just end up delightedly eating it.

Up-cakes
I made these cupcakes for our Oscar party. I’m sure you can figure out the inspiration. Before you kiss my ass for being so artistic, do know that I found the idea online. But I think they came out great. And Jeremy came up with the name. Maybe I’m not too creative, but I can execute the crap out of someone else’s idea! Anyhoo, the cakes are Amy Sedaris vanilla (with my own homemade vanilla extract) with vanilla buttercream/marshmallow fluff frosting. GOOD TIMES.
After the jump, a photo of the awesome idea Lisa came up with for “Up in the Air.” Continued…

Palin Crossed Border For Canadian Health Care
Every time I think I can’t find her any more distasteful and hypocritical, she surprises me.

Blast From the Past Music Video
Living Colour, “Cult of Personality.” The band that opened for Fishbone/English Beat sort of reminded me of these guys, and I’ve been thinking about them for a few days. I saw Living Colour live a few times back in the day, and Vernon Reid was always amazing. I remember going to a benefit show at the old Ritz in NYC more than 20 years ago. The show lasted forever (10,000 Maniacs, Billy Bragg, Jefferson Airplane and more) and my friend put her head down on the stage at one point, she was that tired. Vernon, playing guitar, stepped over to her and gently put his foot on her forehead and pushed her head back up — never missed a note. Hilarious.

Happy Birthday, Ken!
Mr. & Mrs. Fitch
Last night I was pleased to be invited to a performance of the off-Broadway play Mr. & Mrs. Fitch. The play stars John Lithgow and Jennifer Ehle, as married NYC gossip columnists finding themselves out of things to write about. The two find inspiration in an unlikely way, and then have to deal with all the positives and negatives that their inspiration brings.
The show is quite light fare, laugh-out-loud funny at times, liberally peppered with literary and cultural references, and a terribly fun way to spend an evening. Lithgow and Ehle have a great time playing the Fitches, and if you’ve ever wanted to see John Lithgow in his boxers, this is the play for you. We spotted David Hyde Pierce sitting directly behind us — he seemed to really enjoy the show, laughing a lot. We enjoyed it, too. Thanks to my girls at Showtime for the tickets. I definitely recommend Mr. & Mrs. Fitch if you’re looking for something to see off-Broadway. The space at the Second Stage Theater is pretty cool, too. I think maybe it was a bank or something at one time — there were these tremendous walk-in safes near the box office, complete with the big spinning wheel on the door. Neat!

Why Does a Salad Cost More Than a Big Mac?
Sad and true. I learned a lot about this stuff while I was researching for some articles I wrote about school lunch programs. Appalling.

Fishbone Follow-Up
Really? You went to a Fishbone show, stood front and center in the pit and then decided to sue when you got hurt? Why do you think my 41-year-old ass was BEHIND the mosh pit, safely ensconced against a security barrier? Sigh. (This incident didn’t happen at our show, btw)
