Something to fill the space while I’m gone. I kinda liked this picture by my friend Sadef of me at work! It was at a birthday dinner Centro Vinoteca in the West Village for our lovely friend, Kiran P.

By Sadef A. Kully

I thought the blurry effect under the dim lights looked super cool. Post on the deliciousness of that dinner coming soon…when I get back!!

By the time you’ll be reading this, I’ll be on my way to South America (my very first time, yaay!). I have been eager to go, especially Buenos Aires where I’ll be for Thanksgiving — it may be my first turkey day out of the country! But I’m ridiculously excited .

It might be a little quiet here…I’m not taking my laptop with me (I know…I’m chartering unknown territory without my laptop which I’m usually glued in front of updating this thang). But I am taking my camera and I’ll try my best to update you all while I’m there. If you don’t hear from me, trust I’ll be eating lots and lots of steak. Otherwise, I’ll be catching up on my trip after I land. While we’re talking about it, anyone have amazing recommendations for Buenos Aires specifically? On another note, I’m starting to feel like a packing pro. I’m ONLY taking my little carry-on bag and started thinking of the few things that are starting to be my travel-musts.

1. My new Heys USA 26″ 4WD Metallica Hardside Spinner carry-on.

My cousin made his own makeshift cover for his iPhone…

Cousin's creation

Totally grabbed it thinking it was a cookie bar wrapped in napkins. The fat kid in me lives on.

Hi everyone!! I’m sorry for the dead air on here. I took a few days off and recuperating from weeks of non-stop work, running around, and all that jazz. I’ll still be posting soon…just thought I’d explain since this is the longest I’ll go without writing anything!! In the mean time, these songs have been on repeat on my playlist so I thought I’d share .

Foster the People – Pumped Up Kicks
Beyoncé – End of Time
Lupe Fiasco ft Skylar Grey – Words I Never Said
The Hours (Calvin Harris remix) – See the Light
LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem
Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP - We No Speak Americano
Stromae ft. Kanye West - Alors on Dans

I’m so random.

Meet Jack and Oren:

Jack O'Brien and Oren Katzeff of Cracked.com

I was fortunate to meet them during my trip to Miami. They are Very Important People at cracked.com. They even gave a speech with a Powerpoint about the awesomeness of the site (for example, did you know Cracked.com has one of the most engaged audiences? More than Comedy Central, FunnyOrDie, and The Onion combined? Now you know). After their speech, they were signing copies of You Might Be a Zombie and Other Bad News: Shocking but Utterly True Facts. I’m pretty sure it was the longest line of ladies that conference saw all weekend, but for some reason or another when I got to the front I never got my copy of the book (I think the guys were too engrossed with talking to the fans ). I saw them later as they were just leaving for the airport and told them how I really wanted a book and totally waited in line for it, so Oren promised me he’ll send me something better: a signed copy of the book from the ENTIRE staff of Cracked.com. And lookey what I got in the mail!

I'm pretty sure he meant 'in the world' which is so sweet of him!

So basically, I just wanted to give a giant THANKS to Oren for sending the book (I’m sure the rest of the staff was entirely confused but they were nice enough to sign it anyway — I feel really special ).
