is that plaid shirt a nod to the crispy seattle weather or are you just trying to stay warm in front of the refrigerator?*

i'm in love again.


ASHLEY MERRIMAN of TOP CHEF is makin me palpitate a teeny tiny lil bit.
ashley kinda looks like zach beirut's tougher cooler older bro except ummm ashley...is a girl?
it's like when i watch the L word and shane makes me feel all funny. it kinda fucks with my program.



so far she has proved unremarkable chefwise but that means nothing to me..LOOK at her, totes hot tattooed brochef style, it's really getting me. sam mason, i am maybe over you?



i mean, you guys:



dying? DYING.

ps, i swear my weekend trip to seattle today was decided before i watched the episode and found out she is the chef at branzino in belltown...i SWEAR. i swear!

pps if you don't think i am eating there tonight you are SO FUCKING WRONG.

ppps ashley, CALL ME.

*wins for best use of clueless quote as longest fucking blog title ever. thank you.

ohh, hi everyone. hi.
i hate not posting everyday, it feels wrong and weird but long days and shitty hotel internet..."high speed" my arse (BRITISH!) make it so hard.

i do want to take this special minute to tell the world that i am in love again.

may i present the object of my affection:



VITO SCHNABEL, welcome to this illustrious and admittedly dubious distinction.

STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT.
actually no, please, continue.



way. too. handsome.
we saw him last night at the bar at HIX while we had dinner.
i died approx 50 times and then one more time for good measure.
sighhhhhhhhhhz.

calling all in transit

i'm on an early REM kick right now.
