Will The Real Carrie Bradshaw Please Stand Up?

There was an article in the New York Times this weekend about the latest crop of Carrie Bradshaw-wannabes, who chronicle their dating lives and hope to land their own Mr. Big. The article made me smile because for as long as Sex and the City has been around, so have a slew of “real-life” Carries, [...]

You’re So F-ing Special

I came across a post on John Mayer’s blog this morning. In it, he talks about the disease of self-consciousness, although what I think he’s really talking about is the over-reaching effects of ego identification.
We live in a culture that celebrates mediocrity and he’s right when he says that we’ve all grown up being told [...]

Oohhh… Carla Bruni Naked

WordPress lets you track your hits, what people are searching under, so on and so forth. Now the blog I did about Mrs. Nicolas Sarkozy is still an all-time favorite, undoubtedly because there’s supermodels, nudity and scandale involved.
Today, I noticed a spike in traffic due to Carla Bruni. I didn’t know why until I came [...]

Wormholes in Paris

I had several errands to do today… It’s bitter cold (for Paris) right now and I lost my gloves in New York. Anyway, I walked around two opposite sides of town and got lost both times.
Paris, with its arrondissements, is built like a snail’s shell—or that’s what I read somewhere once.

The center of the shell [...]

Fame, Online-Style

I’m reading A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle (yes, I know Oprah’s big on it right now.) Anyway, I find the book rather interesting when it comes to ideas of ego, enlightenment and evolution. It’s worth picking up, if you like the whole New Age-y spiritual thing.
Yesterday, I read this sentence in the book, “The [...]

Me in KoreAm Journal

Well, I was featured in KoreAm Journal, which is the biggest Korean American magazine around. It’s a nice piece, although they did get some things wrong, like the album I’m working on, which is not my old EP, Rocktease, but the upcoming, FULL-LENGTH album, Love Like Everyone.
That album is why Brent and I have been [...]

The Mile-High Club Rules and Regulations

I don’t purport to know all the rules when it comes to joining the Mile High Club, but as a proud member (ahem), I can attest to the topic enlivening your average dinner party.

For my last night in NYC, a group of us got together to eat, drink and send me off in high style [...]

Tom Cruise, Dream-Invader

When I’m very tired, like I am now, I always have the weirdest dreams. Last night’s was a doozy…
It started out with some sort of surreal living situation with my latest celeb crush, James McAvoy (sigh). In my dream, though, like in real life I suppose, he was a small guy, shorter than me—which was/is [...]

Sick, skiing and the studio

That about sums up my week. After that last political blog (and the subsequent flurry of comments), I was knocked out by the cold/flu/sinus thing that just about everyone in the world seemed to have. BUT I found this great German-by-way-of-South Africa remedy in Whole Foods called Umcka. I recommend it to anyone who’s still [...]
