Merry Christmas to All…

…and to all a good night!

The Best Way to Spread Christmas Cheer*

I don’t know about you but I’m so sick of the whole “these are rough times” mantra that seems to pervade everyone’s living styles these days (I know times are bad, and don’t need to be reminded of it every nanosecond, OK? I’M LOOKING AT YOU, MEDIABISTRO DAILY E-MAIL UPDATE.). Perhaps I should be a [...]

Thank GOD the 90's Aren't Making a Comeback Anytime Soon

While home, I discovered that my mom has been making some serious headway on scanning all of her rooms full of photos (seriously, in the old house, she had a back “wing” dedicated solely to cataloging; when she designed her new pad, she included a sweet craft room in the design). She’s up to the [...]

I'm Still Here

Just at a loss for blog time… And on a plane now to…Tennessee! Stick with me, I’ll be back soon. xo K. (P.S. Once again, having malfunctions with my new MacBook, which won’t let me upload my Central America photos…hence the last of recaps thus far. Going to try to make it to the Genius [...]

Relocated

Hi! I’m chillin’ over at Secret Agent Josephine’s pad, home to the beyond adorable Baby Bug, for the day, while she takes a much-deserved blogcation. Come say hi when you have a minute! Oh, and there’s a very good chance I might be in court in Monterey while you’re reading this (Friday morning) silently cursing [...]

One Score and Five Years Ago, Part II

(The second installment of a three-part series, maybe four. Read the first, One Score and Five Years Ago, Part I, here lest you be utterly confused. Who am I kidding, my life’s not all that comprehensive; you’ll be fine if you start at age 10.) 1993, age 10: I was always an athlete, even at [...]

On Touching Mariah Carey's Body

I’ve interviewed a lot of celebrities over the past few years – more than I can count on 500 fingers and toes. Some impress (Stephen Colbert, Bill Nighy), others greatly disappoint (ahem, Richard Gere! Chris Noth!), still others just make me want to pee my pants from laughter. Jack McBrayer of 30 Rock hilarity (are [...]

How 'Bout Them Apples?

In going back through my archives for my People editor today (Yay! I’m working for People now! Woohoo!), I found this conversation from cocktails with Ben Affleck while promoting Hollywoodland in December 2006. I’d never really had an opinion about Ben one way or another, but after spending a short evening with him, I think [...]

Second Chances Aren't Overrated

I’ve always harbored such unfounded resentment for Brooklyn – the boroughs in general, I suppose. I can’t really explain this bad taste in my mouth or when I became that Manhattan snob. Brooklyn has never stolen my boyfriend or gotten that job I was up for. It hasn’t yelled hateful expletives or destroyed my personal [...]

This is How a Wedding Should Be Done

My zany, off-the-wall cousin Andrew is marrying the beautiful, clever, talented Kelly this weekend (seriously, dude, how did you land such a catch?). Unfortunately, it saddens me to no end that I won’t be there to witness the big day, which I’m sure will be filled with lots of laughter and lots of flatulence if [...]
