This aired on SNL this past weekend but I’ve been to busy to blog about it. Dibs told me about this and I love it. Rock on, Tina Fey!
Politics is such an emotional subject, especially when it comes to a presidential election. I had watched the Texas debate with Peter, who’s an Obama supporter. Me? [...]

My (first) wedding was in Costa Rica in December. I arranged everything when it came to where everyone was staying, meals, drinks, activities, the wedding itself, for one week for 20 people. (If you’ve ever done something comparable, you know how difficult it is.) All people essentially had to do was buy a plane ticket [...]

I have amazing guy friends. Across the board, my male friends (gay, straight, coupled, single) have always been kind, supportive, non-judgmental and all-around cool, treating me with plenty of love and respect. But for some reason, I haven’t had as much luck with my girlfriends. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got some wonderful girlfriends [...]

Now that I’m in the Land of the Best Television on the Planet (yep, the good ol’ USA), I’m getting sucked back into the idiot box. I’ve always been a fan of America’s Next Top Model and the new season starts tonight. It’s a horrible popularity contest (where Tyra Banks is always the winner) and [...]

For those of you who don’t know, I’m hard at work on a new album. It’s an album of lovesongs called Love Like Everyone and it’s about love in all its various incarnations: desire, hope, longing, romance, bitterness, anger. So nope, not all sappy tunes, though there are a couple. (You can hear a demo [...]

I just saw the teen pregnancy (and so much more) flick Juno. I know I’m a little behind, but I’ve been in France! What a fantastic movie. Ellen Page is remarkable and ridiculously talented, but anyone who saw Hard Candy knows that. She certainly deserving of the Oscar nomination, if not the win. But considering [...]

After the studio, I met up with my friend, Eyoko, who was the fantastic stylist for my video, Obvious.
We grabbed a bite at Bite, which is a cute little sandwich/salad spot on 14th Street—and low-key like we wanted. Eyoko brought me a rose (awww) and we caught up on our crazy lives. Aside from working [...]

I kid. Mostly. For whatever reason, whether I’ve had a boyfriend/date/significant other or not, Valentine’s has always left me feeling valentine-less and somewhat sad-sackish. Even today, I’m here in NYC while Dman is in Paris and how romantic can that possibly get with nearly 4,000 miles between us and 6 hours time difference?
So of course, [...]

It’s snowing in NYC today and I have to admit, it’s really beautiful. I hate cold weather, but it always seems like it warms up a little when it starts snowing.
Here’s the camera-phone view from where I’m currently staying in Chelsea:
Tonight, I’m supposed to go see my producer’s band play at the Living Room. But [...]

No day of rest for me. When you’re trying to finish a record, there’s no such thing as a weekend off. But that’s ok. I’m happy to be in here singing, although I’m having a hell of a time trying to nail this one vocal. Ugh. It’s just not working and it’s so frustrating!
Anyway, it’s [...]
