i've written for the hairpin, GOOD magazine, gawker, FREEWilliamsburg, and a few other places who were willing to have me.
one of buzzfeed's top 90 tumblr blogs of 2011. lol.
I make a lot of GIFs. Many of them are about New York.
oh, and one time the new york times used the word "dreamily" to describe the way I answered a question.

I was quoted in Nadia Chaudhury’s great piece on The Awl today about movies you will sit through, “commercials, bad cable edits and all.” My two selections? Overboard and My Cousin Vinny:
Overboard: Kurt and Goldie have been together for nearly 30 years, and their real-life relationship is one of only two things that makes me believe true love is possible. The second thing is that Randy Newman song used during Overboard’s end credits.
My Cousin Vinny: Mona Lisa Vito (Marisa Tomei) is one of my favorite movie characters, and denying myself the opportunity to hear her say, “I’m an out-of-work hairdresser” during that final courtroom scene is practically self-harm.
- coworker 1: Who are you rooting for?
- bobby: I don't even know who's playing.
- coworker 2: You know every track on the Lana Del Rey album and you don't know who's playing at the Super Bowl?
- bobby: Sorry. Priorities.
THANK GOD YOU’RE BACK, TUMBLR. I’VE BEEN TRYING TO REFRESH MY DASH FOR LIKE THREE HOURS.
Thing I almost shouted at the Diet Coke-drinking person who threw me shade as I filled my cup up with Coca-Cola Classic at the work fountain.
- If Fiona Apple and Lana Del Rey, through some miracle of science in which an egg could be fertilized by an egg, had a baby together, would that baby grow up to be a singer or an actress?
- If Lana Del Rey and Neil Patrick Harris started a gang would it be called “The Three Names Gang” and do you think they let you join?
- If the world actually ended in 2012 and all that was left was Born to Die, would “National Anthem” BECOME the new national anthem?
- I just made up a rumor that Lana Del Rey is in a feud with Raven Symone. Why are they fighting?
- Explain the 2005 “incident” that caused Lana Del Rey to decide never to patronize another Chipotle?
- If Lana Del Rey were an ice cream, would she be dairy free?
- If Lana Del Rey were an ice cream, would YOU be dairy free?
- What is the name of Lana Del Rey’s favorite bakery in Paris and why can’t we find it anywhere?
- If Lana Del Rey and Meryl Streep played Dance Central 2 together, who would get the highest score?
- Would you describe Lana Del Rey as an “in-ground pool” or an “above-ground pool” and how cold is the water?
Bobby & I went a little nuts submitting questions for The New Yorker Lana Del Rey chat?
Whoops! Sorry, Sasha.
This is my brain attempting to understand irony.
