Today
Remember that scene in “The Devil Wears Prada” where Miranda is on her way in and everyone goes into a frenzy and Stanley Tucci screams “Gird your loins!”?
Yeah, that’s what today is going to be like.
Minus the 6-inch heels. So I guess there’s that.
Make that 38,539
I don't watch that much TV
And yet I feel like I’ve seen the commercial for SMASH about 38,538 times.
Why yes, yes I did.
sotheresthat replied to your post: If you were confused too
I only knew because someone else linked. Did you get the smoking hot New Zealander in your search?
If you didn’t even bother to Google Martin Henderson when Dinklage instructed you to, let me do you a favor.

By the way, this is not the Martin Henderson I got when I Googled.
I don't get it.
I Googled Martin Henderson as instructed by Dinklage.
What am I missing? Help me Tumblr!

Julie Frost, the woman next to Madonna is wearing a dress designed by the wife of someone I went to HS with.
So, I practically know Madonna.
And to be clear, I haven’t seen the guy since before most of you were born.
Nevertheless.
Focus on the Family ad during NFL playoffs ...
And during the Golden Globes an ad for the Church of Scientology.
Does anyone else think this makes some kind of weird sense?

Right?
It’s not that Facebook isn’t fun. It’s just so … obligatory. And there’s more than a few people that, if we’re being honest, you wouldn’t have *chosen* to be there.
Or is it just me?
Self-knowledge
Really what I should do is subscribe to In Style. I pay $4 when I buy it on the newstand. It’s roughly $1 per issue by subscription. I would save $35 a year if I just subscribed. Not exactly change-your-life money, but still.
But I won’t. Instead I’ll keep doing what I currently do, which is convince myself that I’m not really an In Style reader. I just pick it up when I...
Aaaaaaand I'm sick
UGH.
This week
Might be horrible.
Sam is sick. I think he’s on the mend, but it has not been pleasant.
Maddie says she is sick, too. Hard to tell if she’s sick or if this is a bid for attention. Either way, also not pleasant.
Preston has to leave tomorrow night to go to D.C. for a family funeral.

Know any great B2B PR people in NYC?
Yes, I’m looking again.
I can’t figure out how to put the listing link here, so if you go to the careers page look for “Manager, Marketing Communications.” Or just hit my Ask box and I’ll send you more information.

Dear conservatives,
Mitt Romney is not a liberal.

WatchHow about a radical idea that really isn’t that radical? Sheryl Sandberg in this video talks about how she and her husband manage careers and family.
At the end of the day her idea can be summed up thusly: Women’s careers need to be as important as men’s and men’s participation in the home needs to be as important as women’s.
She takes the position that the...
Well *that* was creepy

Yeah. Weeeeird.

Every time I try to make sense of Republican tax doctrine I get lost.
For example, rank-and-file House Republicans are willing to increase taxes on the middle class starting in a few weeks in order to avoid a tax increase the very rich.

This week my great uncle Bill passed away. I last saw him at his 80th birthday party in Florida.
But he was a big part of my childhood. Actually, to be fair, it was his wife, my great aunt…

Is it just me?
Why do PR crises or significant inbound media inquiries always (ALWAYS) happen at 4pm the day before a major holiday?
Am I the only person this happens to?

I need to remember this.
Sigh
I got nothing.
They were gorgeous but way too expensive. Lord & Taylor was have a 50% off sale which is what was making me think I could go for it, but then of course not on THOSE coats. I had a 20% off coupon that was good for everything other than COATS.
I got frustrated and left.
Still no winter coat, still $250 Lord & Taylor gift card.
But how sweet are you guys? THANK YOU so much...
