I forgot, until this very minute, that Robin told me the Eurovision 2012 finals will be telecast live next Saturday—and, for the first time in 8 years, I'll be in Europe at the same time! I am so excited.
Eurovision is, like, a bad but totally fun and riveting pan-continental high school talent show full of grown-ups with questionable hairstyles.
Here's Engelbert Humperdinck, this year's UK entry.
No, I don't understand how that happened, either. - May 14, 12
Nid wy'n gofyn bywyd moethus/Aur y byd na'i berlau mân
Gofyn wyf am galon hapus/Calon onest, calon lân.
Pe dymunwn olud bydol/Hedyn buan ganddo sydd
Golud calon lân, rinweddol/Yn dwyn bythol elw fydd.
I don't ask for a luxurious life/the world's gold or its fine pearls,
I ask for a happy heart/an honest heart, a pure heart.
If I wished for worldly wealth/It would swiftly go to seed;
The riches of a virtuous, pure heart/Will bear eternal profit. - May 07, 12Time was when I could meticulously plan an entire Paris Fashion Week's worth of outfits and cram it into a Vuitton carry-all duffel. These days, I can barely be bothered to think more than 24 hours worth of outfits ahead.Here is how packing goes for me now: About 18 hours before I'm scheduled to depart for overseas (or anywhere for more than a quick weekend) I throw a bunch of dresses, two sweaters, a half-dozen pairs of shoes, one book, travel documents, a clutch, an umbrella, and a tote bag into a suitcase—carry-on if I'm going somewhere domestic, check-in if I'm going somewhere I'm planning on doing a major shop (Paris, London, anywhere not domestic).I put my handwashing in the sink. Because I never have any handwashing powder, I use shampoo.In the morning I grab my phone and iPad chargers, my handwashing off the drying line and go.Most of the time I will forget something important.
- May 05, 12My friend Cat just put up the most amazing Facebook update. It goes:
We have a situation. The 17 year old boy across the street broke up with his girlfriend. She is heartbroken. The boy will not take her calls. She has gone on a hunger strike. She has been standing in MY driveway staring at his house on and off.
It's like The Virgin Suicides meets an 80s-era John Cusack movie all at once.
UPDATE: Cat just told me the girl's name is SLOANE. Is that the most perfect name for this scenario or what? Also, she is Japanese. So now this movie in my head (a) got really dark and ominous and will possibly play out like a horror movie I don't understand and (b) got subtitles. - Apr 22, 12
Is it wrong that I really want to do this?
From today's New York Times:Something medical is indeed happening in the newest diet to reach the United States. Dr. Oliver R. Di Pietro has been offering what he calls a K-E diet at his modest clinic in Bay Harbor Islands, Fla., since last July.
“I get a lot of brides,” Dr. Di Pietro said. “Nervous eating.”
It uses a nasogastric tube (a tube that goes through the nose and down the esophagus into the stomach) to provide all nourishment, with no carbohydrates, for 10 days. Dr. Di Pietro said body weight is lost quickly through ketosis, the state in which the body burns fat rather than sugar. Patients at his office are monitored during the 10-day period for things like constipation, bad breath and dizziness.
“Any extreme low-calorie diet is associated with side effects, kidney stones, dehydration, headaches,” Dr. Aronne said, “and if you lose muscle mass and water, what’s the point of that?”
While the tube diet is fairly unknown in this country, it has been popular for years in Italy and Spain, where it is used casually to lose weight before a big event, as well as for more significant weight loss. In England, where it has been offered for the past year as the KEN (or ketogenic enteral nutrition) diet, The Daily Mail asked if it was “the most extreme diet ever,” before adding that a National Health Service doctor was offering it.
Dr. Scott Shikora, the director of the Center for Metabolic Health and Bariatric Surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, said: “Putting a tube in one’s nose, it’s not always comfortable and pleasant. And this has to be medically supervised.”
Ms. Schnaider had the tube removed early, not because of discomfort, but because she was losing too much weight, reaching 127 pounds, 10 pounds down, in eight days. Her wedding is scheduled for June in her native Argentina.
“At first I decided not to do it for people who just want to lose a few pounds,” Dr. Di Pietro said. “But then I thought, why should I say 5 or 10 pounds are not enough? People want to be perfect."
They are willing to pay for it: $1,500 for the 10 days, which includes a screening and the equipment. They also have to feel confident enough to wear the tube in public.

Over the past couple of weeks, I've been to an Oxford reunion, a Dartmouth mini-reunion, and a Stuyvesant alumni volunteer event. All I need now is a Central Saint Martins pub night to round out the quartet of ghosts of educational institutions past.
I've never been a big joiner-inner as far as alumni things go—I do go to all my Dartmouth reunions (partly because, after all that tuition and those four rather harrowing-slash-dramatic years, I feel it's something I ought to do) and I feel like they're a great way to touch base with the past, reminisce, think about where you are now compared to where you came from—but I think lately I'm having sort of a mid-career crisis (normal, I hope). And every time in my life when I have a crisis of nearly any kind, my first instinct is to go back to school. I don't know why. It must be, like, an Asian-American disease or something—seriously, last Wednesday I was up until 1 a.m. researching part-time Ph.D. programs.Anyway, I'm not sure all this reunion/alum stuff I've been doing has helped me in any way, but it has given me a lot of perspective—and a lot to think about.At the Oxford North American reunion last Saturday, I sat at lunch with a man who was the speaker of the house in Canadian Parliament for the last ten years. I also talked with a Berkeley professor who's just started a company that's capable of predicting the probability of the occurrence of nuclear war (or something like that) at any place on earth at any given moment. And I also talked with someone who, back in the day, was on the research team that discovered stem cells. Stem. Cells.The best (okay, I don't know about best, but definitely funniest) point in all these conversations was when each of these people asked me, in turn, what I do for a living and I'd answer, "I'm a fashion and beauty editor." After which they'd ask what I do on a regular day, to which I would answer, "Play with clothes and lipstick."So, that. - Feb 24, 12

Living Alone, from the NY Times:
For people who are comfortable and even good at living alone, there is often another concern: a fear that the concrete has set, so to speak, on their domestic habits and that it will be difficult to go back to living with someone else. “It’s definitely something that worries me,” Ms. Kennedy said. “I can’t take the quirks back.”
The longer she lives alone, she said, the less flexible she becomes — and the less considerate of others’ needs. “If I go on vacation with a group of friends, I feel a little overwhelmed,” she said. “I’ve got to share this room with other people? We have to organize showers?”
Mr. Zimmer, the computer programmer, said he is also conscious of becoming too set in his ways, especially where sleeping is concerned. “I just do not sleep as well with someone else,” he said. “A lot of homes have double master bedrooms. I can really see the value of that.”
He added: “Looking back, maybe I should have had a roommate.”

This was our sixth-grade graduation song.
So heartbreaking. Whitney Houston is someone whose celebrity is, in my mind, inextricably linked to my own childhood. It's so sad she's gone. - Feb 04, 12
- Feb 04, 12The other night I was watching YouTube hair and makeup tutorials when I decided to finally try the BedHead Twisted Ribbon Iron I ordered a couple of weeks ago. I love it. It's so different from a conventional curling iron—which usually gives you round sausage-y curls. The BedHead iron is a different shape, so it gives you 1980s-ish waves. Like you're a character on Dallas or something.
