If I were to add up all my “unnecessary” expenditures over the past three years, I’m positive that I could account my general lack of funding for getting my nails done on one expense: concerts. I absolutely love concerts- the lack of personal space, the sense of community among the audience, the buzz […]

So I generally try to avoid portraying myself as a boy-crazy teenaged girl in public settings, but this is an exception. A week or so ago I got around to seeing Sweeney Todd (the big-screen version of Steven Sondheim’s blood-soaked musical), and I am virtually certain that I can now claim I’ve seen the […]

It is fairly well-known among my family and friends that despite my distaste for low-brow entertainment, I love comedy aimed at the 13-30 year old male set. Family Guy, South Park, Little Nicky, Dane Cook… you name it, I probably love it. It’s generally racist, classist, endlessly misogynistic, […]

FEIST :
Last night my friend Sonal treated me to Feist’s concert near Times Square. It was amazing. Feist did an excellent Nina Simone cover, rocked the house, and was completely otherworldly.
