Well, actually, downtown LA. This is where I’m mixing my record. We’ve started working on it and it already sounds great—I’m very excited!
It’s been almost two years since I’ve been in LA and coming from Paris now, I really see the difference between East and West Coast. People generally are more open here, friendlier, than [...]

Funny how life catches up with you and then you believe there’s no time for the important things—like blogging!
Just landed in NYC last night and am jetlagged so up at 6 am. Plus I’m staying at a friend’s place which is wall-to-wall windows so I imagine the break-of-dawn wakeup is inevitable.
What’s been going on…
1) Show [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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? [...]

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 [...]
