Sage Advice From a Wise Prof

Nothing is permanent.

So, when you are in distress, feel better knowing that your pain will soon go away.

If you're in good times, live them up, because they will be gone soon, too.

Gems From Kristie Regarding the RNC, 2

On the possibility of Cindy McCain as First Lady:

"Maybe she'll get Botox covered under health care."

Gems From Kristie Regarding the RNC

McCain says: "I wear his [a dead soldier's] bracelet, and think about him every day."

Kristie says: "Mr. Support-Our-Troops should be wearing about 5,000 bracelets right now."

Trying To Wrap Our Brains Around Palin

Me: Allison posted a pic of her wearing a FUR STOLE. Who wears fur these days? Especially when you're a politician!

Jego: Give her a break . . . she was, after all, mayor of a town that had less people than the building I'm living in.

This Is What Exhaustion Looks Like

Here's Nate, after a night of playing at Brandy's on the Upper East Side, an awesome gig that is slowly making him nocturnal. Sometimes he doesn't get home until 6 or 7 AM. This photo was taken this morning at about 8. It's really typical of what I see through his doorway after a Brandy's night--exhaustion so complete that he doesn't even care he's hanging off the bed.

Back In The Swing

School started again on Wednesday and it's pretty clear that this semester is going to be a pretty intense time. It's great to see everyone and hang out in the newsroom again--it really feels like home. I'm still interning a couple days a week and I will be working on a couple other projects unrelated to school over the next few months as well. So I will blog intermittently, but it's gonna be a busy few months. By the way, here's a photo of Hearst Tower, for those who don't know it. This is where I've been working (on the 34th floor) since the end of May.

We Heart Grad School

Mike: I'm going with the one haircut a year approach.

Kate: It's worked so far.

Mike: Saves money for food and commodity costs.

Kate: Mike = recession-proof.

Mike: No job = recession proof.

Kate: YES that means I'M recession-proof too!
.

As Good A Reason As Any

Kate: I was thinking about going to China for a while after graduation.

Mike: Ah, that's a good idea. You like being tall.

On Glasses as Optional Accessories

According to Erin:

"I hate eyeglass fashion because I'm forced to wear glasses.

It's like wearing hearing aids as fashion."

Scary Junior High Fashions . . .

ARE BACK!

Run, run for your lives!!

Best Concert Ever

In May, I went with a friend to see Marketa Irglova and Glen Hansard (of Once fame) perform for their first time at Radio City Music Hall. The concert was nothing short of incredible. They performed for two and a half hours without a break, and Hansard opened the show with a gorgeous rendition of "Say It To Me Now," acoustic, without a mic. It was beautiful. A friend pointed me to a YouTube video that captured the moment.

If My Life Were a Movie

I never get tired of this game. Friends and I have been known to wile away hours over cocktails discussing which actor would represent which person if all of a sudden our lives were to be turned into a movie with a Hollywood casting call to end all casting calls. So, I present here who would play the people in my life. There's little consistency in my choices--some actors are chosen because of looks, some are chosen because of mannerisms/character. But, click on the name of the actor/celebrity to see a photo if you're curious. Some will be left blank, because this game is far from finished. If anyone has anyone to add, or you think I have assigned you the wrong representative, or you have a better suggestion, please let me know. Also, these are subject to change with no warning.

Mom: Amy Madigan as Annie in Field of Dreams, particularly.
Dad: Harrison Ford because dad always liked Indiana Jones so much and they are now both completely gray.
Dylan: What's Eating Gilbert Grape-era Leonardo DiCaprio
Mitch: Elijah Wood not as Frodo Baggins.
Kathy: the lovely Kirsten Dunst
Kate: Chloe Sevigny--It's her vibe. Or something.
Kristie: Liv Tyler (complete with baby these days)
Amie:
Aaron: Lawrence Fishburne as Morpheus
Terry: Joe Pesci
Jan: Seth Rogen--the funny factor plays a big role here
Travis: Cold Mountain-era Jude Law
Nate: a young Tom Stoppard
Robin: Vanessa Ferlito
Erin: Laura Prepon. The voice. The Jersey. Can't deny it.
Fritzie: Natalie Merchant
Mike Hurley: Michael C. Hall as Dexter
Michael C.:
Justin:
Heather: Maggie Gyllenhaal
Duy: a young, Asian John Cusack. Or so he says.

As for me, I will cast the person I get compared to the most: Uma Thurman (from what I hear, especially in the Tagheuer ads).

Things That Make You Go Hmm

This guy sat across from me from 14th Street to Church Ave in Brooklyn, a Q-tip sticking out of his ear the entire way. Toward the end of the trip, he rummaged through his bag, shook a couple pills out of a few different bottles, and gulped them all at once with a swig of water. I have come to no conclusions about this guy other than he must have had quite a headache.

Collected Thoughts

1. The other night, Nate and I were shocked by a new Verizon commercial that featured an interracial couple. I can't find this commercial on YouTube, but I swear we saw it. So, go Verizon!

2. Watched the Mets win today from the upper deck.

3. Jonah is exhibiting behavioral issues again and it is breaking my heart. If he keeps it up he's gonna be sent upstate.

4. Finished In Cold Blood--what a terrific book! Loved it, want to see the movie, and also want to see Capote.

5. I am 6 months away from getting my Master's Degree.

Love, Love, Love

My best gal-pal from undergrad, Amie, got married last weekend, and I was one of her bridesmaids. Ame and her new husband are hippies. And their wedding reflected that. Everything from the cake (see below) to the flowers to the music (she walked down the aisle to "Something in the Way" by the Beatles; they were announced at the reception to "Truckin'" by the Dead; their first dance was some Phish song) to the dresses (all of them, even Amie's, were 100 percent hemp) had Ame and Denny written all over it. But the best part? It all felt really organic and natural. The ceremony was beautiful--it was outdoors, and the girls all walked in bare feet. Our bouquets were simple daisies and sunflowers. Also, the pair have been together for eight years, so it felt really wonderful to watch them get married--like it was just the natural thing to do. The couple wrote their own vows, and they were just beautiful. Though I originally protested the dress (hello--is there anything in the world that's more the opposite-of-me?), I eventually got over it, because the dresses really worked. And, I was really happy to be a part of the whole thing.They had a photo booth at the reception. This is possibly the best thing I have ever seen at a wedding. Everyone loved it. They had dress-up bins with all sorts of costumes, and there was a glue stick on a nearby table for guests to glue a photo in the guest book and sign their names. Here I am with the other bridesmaid, Amanda.

The wedding cake. That's a little Denny-and-Amie figurine sitting on the side of the cake. Thankfully, it tasted as good as it looked.

The girls: me, Amanda, Amie, and Amie's sister Cindy.

Obsession Confession

So, it's been more than a month--but now I have a TEENY bit more time on my hands so I will be updating more frequently, because, truth be told, I really love my blog.

Some of you may know about a little obsession I have with dance. I go to as many performances as possible; I go to see all the cheesy dance movies; I rewind and watch dance scenes dozens of times (I'm looking at you, Dirty Dancing finale), and I watch So You Think You Can Dance loyally. My favorite styles are hip-hop, lyrical hip-hop, contemporary, krump, swing and ballet.

Here are my favorite two dances of the So You Think You Can Dance season so far. I just needed to have them in one place so I can watch them, obsessively, over and over again. The first is hip-hop with Chelsea and Mark; the second is hip-hop with Katee and Joshua. Both routines are choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon.

Where I'll be in 2025

...as written by one of my professors. Not even kidding.

Lurie, a precocious Albany-based editor and regular Facebook correspondent, was one of a very few New York City residents who in early spring 2008 knew that surprise-governor David Paterson’s surname had only one “t” letter in it. Lurie also knew just how profane an environment the state capital could be. Said Lurie: “Every third word I heard in Albany was the f word.” This shocked Lurie’s Craft II professor, who until that moment had not realized journalists cursed. Said Lurie: “The guy had an odd way of looking at things sometimes.”
Lurie was an accomplished student of business while at CUNY J and continued to achieve great things within the world of economics and finance after she left. Much to the surprise of those who knew her, Lurie in midlife took a break from heavy-duty business reporting and in early 2025 moved to Iowa where she joined with classmate Fritzie Andrade to open a successful salon that brought together artists and readers of 10-K financial reports.
Lurie is also remembered as Professor Wayne Svoboda’s first—and, so it seems, only—friend on Facebook. Said Lurie: “Somebody had to do it. Otherwise the whole situation seemed so sad.”

Reason Why I Love Kate No. 4,682

Me: Hey!
Kate: Hi, I have a question and I can't seem to do this by myself.
Me (growing worried): Why? What? What's wrong?
Kate: (sighs) I have been searching for the perfect bathrobe. Which has been like a month-long journey so far.
Me: A . . . bathrobe?
Kate: Yes, a bathrobe. And I think I found one but now I can't decide which color to get.
Me: You're telling me the sole reason for this phone call is to help you decide what color bathrobe to buy?
Kate: . . . Yes.

Most Annoying Trivia Competitors Ever

Here's the scene: Trivia night at the Lighthouse in Park Slope. Fritzie, Erin, Eliot and I are in two teams participating in the game. Sitting on the next two bar stools were a man-and-woman team who really could not have been bigger douchebags if they tried. Between shouting in our ears and making ridiculous comments and just being generally douche-y, these two were riding our nerves. However, the following comment proved to be the one to beat.

Fritzie, who is Mexican and fluent in Spanish and French, is arguing a point with the trivia host on a question about a translation of the song "La Cucaracha."

Fritzie: I'm Mexican, and this is the translation I learned growing up.

Woman Douchebag: You're in AMERICA NOW. You're in AMERICA.

Reporting in the Bronx

Erin: i am going to be in the bronx all day tomorrow, from 4 to like 9

Me: oh my god, what? are you serious?

Erin: kill me!

Erin: oh wait I'm a young, white girl in the Bronx - someone else will probably take care of that.

Sweet Asa

Fun!

This is such a great idea. I want to remember to do this on all future trips. Very reminiscent of my London jumping photos, some of which I will post once I find them.

Mitch and Kathy Come to Visit

So my brother Mitch and his girlfriend Kathy came to visit me for the weekend. I was thrilled to see them, and thrilled for an excuse to have some fun.

Here are some of the things we did:

• walked through Central Park
• went to the Museum of Natural History to see the butterflies and the H2O exhibit
• had lunch in the Upper West Side
• went to Union Square, where a hungry squirrel ate peanuts out of Mitchell's hand
• toured my school
• went to the Build-A-Bear store on 5th where Mitch and Kathy added two to their collection
• took a pedi-cab ride down 5th
• ate BBQ in Times Square
• went to see Horton Hears a Who at the AMC on 42nd Street
• on Sunday, spent the morning at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, where we bought cactuses

Looking at some of the awesome plants at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden.

OK, It's Time to Give Up the Dream and Go to Bed

I will dream about Obama getting the nom.

Good night.

Damn. Clinton Wins Ohio.

AND she's pulling ahead in Texas. WTF is going on here?

If Wolf says that Texas is "a nail-biter" one more time, I will flip. That is all.

Texas is Going to Rock & Roll All Night

Texas will likely not be called until the wee hours what with their caucuses and all.

The race is Texas between the Dems is thisclose and the gap is closing a bit in Ohio.

CNN is all high-tech with Apple technology--their big flat screen may as well be a giant iPhone. The political analyst who is laying out the nuts and bolts of how this election is actually working is using the "pinch" element to zoom in and zoom out of maps and graphs.

Holy Teleprompter, Batman

Can McCain make it any more obvious that he's reading off a teleprompter? I mean, really.

And if you're gonna run for president, try pronouncing Taliban correctly. It's not Talley-ban.

Thank Goodness Mike Huckabee is Officially Out

. . . considering he's the most boring speaker I've ever heard.


CLINTON WINS RHODE ISLAND breaking Obama's winning streak.

Clinton's also gaining in Texas, but only 4 % of polls are reporting so far.

"It's Like Marrying a Girl You Didn't Want to Date!"

So said a political commentator on CNN in regards to McCain joining forces with the president in terms of now supporting Bush's tax cuts, which he initially opposed, and he will go to the capitol tomorrow to get his all-important (and when I say important, I mean notsomuch) endorsement from the president.

Mike Huckabee is giving his concession speech.

Didn't See That One Coming

Texas polls are closed and it's official: McCain won the Republican nomination. Wolf Blitzer has been holding court on CNN and just congratulated John McCain on his nomination. Hip hip hooray.

Blitzer says that McCain's locking up of the GOP nomination is "historic." OK, sucky campaign and political scandals aside, what the hell is so historic about this? Another old, white, balding, Republican guy has earned the GOP nom. WTF?

Hillary is going to have to do some heavy thinking if she loses Texas--she needs to take it like a man and bow out gracefully. And then there will be two. Obama v. McCain. As it should be.

Just One More Reason to Hate Texas

Texas will begin their caucuses as soon as the polls close, which will be very shortly. Why is this state voting twice? I DON'T KNOW. Obama is still ahead in Texas. . . hopefully that remains the case.

CNN is reporting that Bush is preparing to endorse McCain. If I were McCain, I'd run as far away as possible.

Obama Ahead in Texas; Clinton Ahead in Ohio

We'll see how this goes--there are only a a fraction of polls reporting in.

Why Vote? It's Raining!

Officials from Obama's campaign have gone to a federal judge to appeal to have the polls open later at some polling stations in Ohio, reports Fox News. Apparently the weather has been keeping people from rockin' the vote.

McCain Wins Vermont and Ohio

MSNBC is reporting that John McCain won Ohio and Vermont--this is pretty much clinching his nomination for the Republican candidacy for president.

Texas polls close in about an hour and 15 minutes. It's so exciting! I'm on the edge of my seat!

It's the Economy, Stupid

CNBC is reporting that in exit polls, the economy was the biggest concern for Democratic voters. Lord knows that will sway their vote one way or the other, depending on who they deem more capable of leading the economy out of recession.

All Eyes On Ohio

The Ohio polls are about to close--there are quickly diminishing counters on every major news channel. In a day of voting that could determine who becomes the Democratic candidate for the presidency, Vermont, Rhode Island, Texas and Ohio are the states that are casting the votes.

Obama already won Vermont.

On CNBC, they are reporting that the liberals are voting for Obama. Surprise, surprise.

This is What You Call a LiveBlog

So for an assignment for my Interactive class, I am live-blogging the primary election returns this evening.

I decided to use this blog to do this instead of my school blog, because I'm far more comfortable with Blogspot as a vehicle than Wordpress.

I'm already a bit behind, because Vermont already closed their polls.

Anniversary

15 years.

I Like Hot Cocoa

My Sickbed

Don't let the smile fool you--I was feeling like crap, just getting over the worst of my week-long illness. All I could bring myself to do was sit on the couch and watch hours upon hours of Law & Order. Really--it's my healing regimen. I guess the cats thought that what I really needed was to be smothered to death. (There are four here. . . Sam's hiding by my feet under the blanket.) Shortly after this was taken I began flinging them around the room in fear for my life.

Convo Between Two Procrastinators on Deadline

Me: goddamnit i have had all day to write this article and i still have ONE line on the page. what the eff is WRONG with me??
Me: I'm gonna pout now.
Erin: I'm also pouting.
Me: good! we can have a pouting party. where we sit around and pout.
Erin: sounds like a great time! I'll bring the beer!
Me: sweet! I'll bring the melancholy!
Erin: mmm melancholy and alcohol. nothing tastes sweeter.

And Now for Observations Made in the Last Five Minutes

1. Drinking hot beverages is the only way to not die in pain from my throat feeling like I swallowed a porcupine followed by sandpaper followed by nail-polish remover followed by fire.
2. I can always tell when Frank's home because Cheese Doodles magically appear in the pantry.
3. Sitting in my desk chair staring at the wall is ten times more interesting than writing my article.
4. I am the worst procrastinator in the history of the world.

A Random Synopsis of the Last Few Weeks

I've been super busy lately and therefore I am not maintaining my personal blog (i.e. this one) nearly as often as I'd like. Here are a few updates in bullet-point fashion if any of my loyal readership is at all interested:

• I covered Super Tuesday by speaking with like, 30 Obama supporters, when all I needed was ONE Hillary supporter. (Read story here.)
  
• Last Saturday I went to New Jersey to spend the afternoon with my Gram. That was good. Sometimes it feels really good to get out of the city. Though the suburbs do scare me. A lot.
• Mitch moved into a new apartment over the weekend and out of the rathole he got stuck with after the fire. Thank goodness.
• My internship at ABC rocks. And I can't say anything more about it or Disney will sue the pants off me.
• I registered a Web site. . . . Soon, you'll be able to check out this blog, and everything else on earth I have any control over, on www.kathrynlurie.com. But not yet. I have to make it first. Funny how that works.
• Leonard Nimoy was at school on Thursday to observe the Journalistic Judgment class, which I am not in. I did see him wandering around the school a bit afterward though. He's one of the founding benefactors of my school. Which makes him super cool in my book.
• Just in time for the Oscars next weekend, I have finally completed the viewing of the last of the films that are nominated for Best Picture (a personal tradition going back years and years). I will write my own little one-line predictions in another post.
• I have been pretty ill all weekend and I'm currently trying to will myself into writing my Craft piece for tomorrow. I can't exactly talk because my throat is raw from this crazy severe coughing and near-retching for the past 48 hours. Fun times.

Will.i.am Rocks Too.

So, the United States scored 23 on a weird, vague list of the World's Happiest Countries. Number One on the list? Denmark. I'm sure it has something to do with the Little Mermaid statue.

Don't Know Why

...the passing of Heath Ledger is bothering me so much. But it is.

Let's Go To the Movies

I've been going to see lots of movies lately (what with my break from school), which (if there's popcorn) may be my favorite activity of all time. Here are a few I've seen and my teensy-weensy review for each..

Enchanted
Love, love, love Amy Adams. It did a great job of spoofing the treacly Disney love stories. Plus, it had my husband, Dr. McDreamy in it. What more could a girl want?

No Country For Old Men
Subtle, terrific acting--I was a pretty big fan until the ending, which, frankly, I thought blew. According to friends who have read the book, the ending is a better fit in the book, and there was a subplot missing in the movie which would have qualified it a little better.

I Am Legend
As a good friend of mine said, "If the world's gonna end, I want to be in the same city as Will Smith." In Smith I trust to save us all. Seriously, though, thought he was fantastic. And seeing Manhattan in ruins was icing on the cake.

Sweeney Todd
Johnny Depp can do no wrong in my book. Though she had an endearingly high, mousy voice, Helena Bonham Carter was difficult to understand when she sang. Tim Burton is a genius. I've never seen London so dreary and otherworldly. It was really beautifully done all around.

The Orphanage
This is a Spanish film by a new director, but produced by Guillermo del Toro (who directed Pan's Labyrinth, one of the best movies out there). This movie was great--it was a scary movie but not in a gory way (well, with the exception of one scene). It took a more classic approach--it depended on a things-that-go-bump-in-the-night element, and it was really effective. Interesting story, too.

Juno
This has been getting rave reviews. I liked it, but didn't absolutely adore it like a lot of people seem to. I saw it with Mike who rightly said that it seemed like the Juno character was almost too witty. She was, after all, 16, and pregnant. I liked Ellen Page, though, and the rest of the cast was great. I especially liked the Jennifer Garner character--she was very sympathetic and believable. . . and the movie was fun and entertaining. I definitely enjoyed it.

Atonement
It's been winning all kinds of awards and I am not anti-Kiera Knightley, but this movie just didn't do it for me. That's all for this one.

Swiss Invasion

My Swiss friends Mario and Martin came to New York to celebrate the beginning of the new year. When they weren't busy shopping (and oh how they shopped), here are some of the things we did..

We spent New Year's Eve on the Brooklyn Bridge with champagne.

The Swiss guys ate like Americans..

Cecilli and Mario had a very intense arm wrestling session.

The guys' first NYC cab ride.

On Fifth--heading toward the Apple store--AGAIN.

Went to see the tree at Rockefeller Plaza, of course..

And we spent some time in Central Park.

Updates to Come!

In the meantime, enjoy this very cute clip.
