I love Samantha Ronson. I do. I love everything about her: the sneakers, the chicken legs, the fugly hair, the Lindsay Lohan boning. All of it.
Seriously, she reminds of James Dean, but with a vag. Badass.
Another picture of New Hampshire from my friend Adam. It’s truly the greatest (and most underrated) state in the world. Beautiful, untouched, and full of toothless wonders (my mom’s favorite insult for hicks).
Seriously, I am so pumped to be going there tomorrow.

Inviting
Yesterday, after much toiling, I finally sent out the invitations to our wedding. Hurray! I absolutely adore the final product and was kind of sad to see them go becaue they are so pretty. I owe them all to Linda & Harriet, run by the amazing wife & husband team Liz and John, both who graduated a year behind me at the world’s finest academic institution this side of the Androscoggin River, Bates College.
Liz designs everything, and she is amazing to work with and super talented. I drool over their blog just about every day, wishing I was as crafty and creative as she. Did I mention they are based in Brooklyn? A math lesson:
Bates + Brooklyn = the best shit ever!
I was lucky enough to find Linda & Harriet through a friend (thanks Alyssa!) who directed me to their website, so I am now doing you the same favor. Enjoy!
[The picture above is stolen from their website, and is totally the invitation I will use for that kickass clambake I hope to throw one day at my imaginary beach house Down East]

Chelsea Clarke, June 2008, MV driveway. 5x7 oil on masonite
Last week my dad and I drove up to Martha’s Vineyard Massachusetts to visit my grampa, who rents a house there every June (Vineyard Haven, for those who visit MV). We don’t do much there but fish, and play horseshoes and chill out, so I had time to do a couple paintings. This one I did on our porch looking down our driveway.
I love when my comedy friends bust out stuff like this. So beautiful - and very soothing! Chelsea is talented (also, very funny).

“Sandcastle Disco” might be the worst song name ever, but Solange Knowles is rockin’ it here. I love this song! And her single “I Decided” is ridiculously good, too. Either the apocalypse really is coming, or Pharrell and Mark Ronson are better producers than I realized.
One of the pregnant girls from Gloucester, MA and her 20-year old boyfriend went on GMA to talk about her pregnancy and the rumor of a pregnancy pact among the 17 pregnant girls from their town. Aside from giving their future daughter the stripper name Chloe Jade, they are extraordinarily articulate and seem very grounded. Good for them.
It’s an interesting interview, but especially worth watching because the news anchor whispers goodbye to the girl’s baby belly in a way that totally reveals his molester-y tendencies.
Also their Boston accents are glorious. Mass pride!

Sadness is
Overall, I find feeling sad to be extremely frustrating. There’s no real resolution to it, and it doesn’t go away when you want it to.
Kind of like a crappy ex-boyfriend.

My two favorite picks to replace Tim Russert on Meet the Press. I can’t decide who I love more!
PS: Too soon?
