What your favorite Christmas movie says about you... →
While my favorite Christmas movie (Home Alone) is not on this list, my other favorite is.
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
What It’s About: Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) tries to have the perfect old-fashioned family Christmas, and is of course beset with disaster upon disaster. Randy Quaid shows up, being a jerk, plus there’s Beverly D’Angelo, Johnny Galecki, and...
WatchMost wonderful, heartfelt story of Christmas 2010. Of course Santa is two adorable gay men in Chelsea.
Academy disqualifies scores for 'Black Swan,' 'The... →
Interesting to note: Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ score for The Social Network is still eligible! I will say that of all the things that have impressed me about films this season, that score is high atop the list. Flawless. I hope it gets recognized. It’s a bummer, though not at all surprising, that the ineligible films are in fact ineligible.

Can I share some good news?
Last week, at work, I won an award. Like kind of a big one. It was recognition for my efforts on a particular account and it included some nice exposure [plus a surprise little bonus.] This is an account that I have worked really hard on for nearly 12 months and to be…
I love reading things like this.
My 2011 might involve a huge move. I...

I really don’t understand why everybody made a big deal about Vampire Weekend’s “Holiday” song being used in a Honda commercial. When I first saw it, I honestly thought nothing of it. What is wrong with you people? Do you know how many indie bands are used in commercials, t.v. shows and…
I 100% agree with all of this. An upbeat, fun song with the word holiday in it? Brands...
Some people got really excited about the first snow in NYC this morning. I was not one of them.
But I AM excited about the DVDs I have been picking up. Last week I made a big CyberMonday DVD order from Amazon, and forgot what I ordered within seconds, making me really doubt that I’d ever watch them. Amazon told me one could ship immediately, one wouldn’t arrive until mid-January, and...

I love when I get to mix business with pleasure, and I love meeting other blog people. Today I did both! I had lunch with Cat, whom I’ve been following for a while. She works for an entertainment site, so I brought along my coworker who does digital outreach and boom! Business lunch.
We went…
YAY!! So glad we finally did it!
Except — cockroach sighting?!...
