Hey, if you didn’t know (or maybe if you didn’t see the big purple sign to the left), I’m writing for a new site for Neutrogena called Beautiful for Good, which launches today. If you like my witty repartee here on Funny Strange, I think you should definitely go there and check out my thoughts on healthy beauty, and tell us once and for all: what’s in your bag?
If I ever have a kid, I want them to be able to do this:
I'm so in the home stretch for Christmas, dude. We're leaving on Saturday, my local gifts have been delivered, far-away gifts sent, and pre-holiday errands run. Tomorrow I'm cleaning out the fridge so it won't smell when we get back, and then I AM DONE. Done, I tell you! I even visited my grandma and delivered her gifts in person. Ha! Ha HA! Next up: a report from Carmel, where we will undoubtedly commit some crimes.
I have to say, I've been really stumped for gifts this year. Everyone I know doesn't need anything, I feel guilty about the environment but don't know if people really want me to donate to charity on their behalf, which essentially means that someone else gets a gift instead of them, blah blah blah. I was still out trying to get stuff at 7:30 pm yesterday, and like everyone had the same "I'm so over Christmas" look on their face.
I felt that way, until the moment I found out about this. The most perfect gift ever. The gift....of steak. My in-laws got us this once, and I swear it lasted for months and months, every meal of which we were like "I love them, man. They are thoughtful gift-givers."
Anyway, if you're still looking for something to get someone (not me, because you know I already bought myself one of these), Omaha Steaks is running this totally amazing sale, and I think you should order one for yourself, and one for your hard-to-buy-for relative. Yes, it's organic and grass fed. Yes, it's freaking delicious. And yes, they do send you a free set of steak knives, a cutting board, and some more free hamburgers with every order. It comes packed in dry ice, in case you're doing a production of Macbeth this Christmas and need something for the witches' cauldron. Yes, they also have things for vegetarians, Mr. Picky.

4 (5 oz.) Filet Mignons
4 (5 oz.) Top Sirloins

Um, I don't know when my career decided to take a turn for the incredibly cool, but apparently now I'm a fashion writer. I mean, I've always been a writer, and I've always loved clothes-- I guess it just never occurred to me that you could actually MIX the two, and end up getting paid for shopping. Yeah, on Friday I went down to the Beverly Center to buy a coat at H & M, and ended up doing a review of the new M by Madonna line. This, after a week of fashion shows and parties for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Whoo-hoo!
Also, I am very, VERY excited because my novel comes out soon, and there are a bajillion people on MySpace who want to read it. Just LOOK at the cover! So, while I am a tad bit embittered at having to do the whole "small press, self-promotion, hustling the novel myself" right now, I know it's going to pay off. And also, I get paid for shopping.
I am not that much of a football fan, but I just thought I'd share this SUPER COOL video from MudKids, featuring someone I sort of know. Soooo catchy! Go Blue!
