Dear Alaska Airlines - and the rest of you too... Why no wi-fi??????
I could be getting real time response to my minor melodramas.

Airplane Etiquette
Dear window seat guy on 5+ hour flight to LA,
It was really impolite to keep your window closed the ENTIRE flight... Even when the pilot announced we were about to fly over incredible views of the Grand Canyon. I know you felt how excited I got and knew how my eyes lit up... Even though you wouldn't make eye contact.
If it was retribution for me sneaking peaks at your iTunes playlist, I'M SORRY! Its just that with 2 hours left, I ran out of Cosmo, US Weekly, and Life & Style... And I forgot a book and headphones.
Poor planning shouldn't result in punishment of such epic proportions as missing the Grand Canyon.
Geez.

PS. I can't believe how much Huey Lewis you own.
PSS. Seriously, your bike helmet under the seat... What *is* that about?

More Reasons I Have Thought Of To Not Work Out
1. My colorist told me not to wash my hair everyday. And I *can't* not wash my hair after an effective workout.
2. I'm hungry and shouldn't work out when all I can think about is Baked Cheetos. Will work out AFTER Cheetos.
3. What if all of the ellipticals are taken? I mean, this MUST be primetime gym action.
4. It's really pretty out, I should go for a run. Do I need a jacket? Should I match in case I run into anyone?
5. How do Rachel Zoe and Anna Wintour just *not eat*? It seems so much easier than having to sweat each day.
6. Who has time? What with work and meeting friends, it just falls through the cracks of importance to me.
7. Would rather help boyfriend set up wireless printer. Yes, I hate it that much.
Fine. Going. Soon.

Knock Off the Knock Offs?
There's a certain thrill of finding a great knock off handbag off Canal Street in NY, but despite the momentary "high" I find at acquiring one that's passable for the real thing, I've recently learned a few things that kill the buzz.
A (and B-Z), the fake designer goods industry supports organized crime, forced child labor and terrorists. At first, I laughed at the absurdity of linking the recessionista desire to save a few bucks and still get what you want and something so evil, but Google "fake handbags" and "terrorism" to get an idea of how closely they are actually linked. The NY Times had a recent piece on this as well.

Sorry to be a Sunday Funday buzz kill, but that trendy, but affordable Balenciega isn't so cute & cool when you consider what it fuels...

Dating in an Overly Digital Age
As much as I am addicted to all things tech - Blackberry, Facebook, IM, Twitter (and who knows what I have yet to discover...) - when it comes to guys and dating, it's equally as dangerous as it is fun and flirty.
Back in college, I shudder to think of what texting and Facebook would have added to the insanely fratty Florida State experience. But at the same time, not having the option to get in touch meant that some good things faded away. Of course, so did some train wrecks.
Either way this Glamour article, made me think about all of the crazy new rules. Many seem obvious like, don't change your Facebook status from "single" to "in a relationship" without a discussion with your dude... but others, like sending regretful texts while drunk ring just as true as dialing up your college ex's old school answering machine at 3am. Of course, now those late night sentiments can be shared with millions via social networks or sites like TextsFromLastNight.com.
Above, all, perhaps we have to member that all the world's the audience now. What you think you may be sending to your latest love could ended up broadcast to your boss.
The most useful advice gleaned from the article, I now pass along: iPhones and Gmail have programs that disable your texting/e-mailing during peak drinking hours, unless you can pass a sobriety test.
That's a lifeline ladies, use it.
