As a quintessential Taurus who knows how to appreciate some good comfort, there was no way I could not report on this. The hip and swanky W Hotel has recently opened a new facility in Hoboken, NJ. Minutes from the city, the majority of its 225 rooms boast sweeping views of the Hudson River and NYC skyline. The Jersey haters out there, aka everyone not from the underestimated state, should note that Hoboken is actually a vibrant, bustling city worth giving a shot. It’s mostly a young professional commuter city with a budding nightlife scene; in fact locals can now add the W’s Chandelier Room on the list of places to schmooze. And the commute? $1.75 in exchange for a Path ticket will get you out of the Garden State to Wall Street in 10 minutes and 34th Street in 20. Compare that to the $2.25 MTA has the nerve to charge you to move within the city, subjecting you to a jarring, standing room only ride, at the mercy of track fires, service changes, and train traffic.

Not to diss NY. I like it here. But I’m just saying.

The suites range from a cozy 280 sq ft with all the basic amenities to a lavish 1,088 sq ft 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo. Um, I’ll take that one please? Click here to check rates on all the rooms if you’re daring; I mean it is a luxury hotel.

I just love the swag (for a lack of a better word; I HATE that word...) in this piece. Homegirl in the front during the first set is my fave. But the guys are adorable doing the arguably feminine moves during the second set.

Anywho, the choreographer goes by the name of Erik Saradpon and my amazing Google skills has uncovered that he is a member of staff of the Temecula Dance Company in San Diego, CA. You can view his fan page here.

It's like Winter Olympics meets Buring the Floor. Loves it!

Jennifer Love Hewitt of Ghost Whisperer in Max Azria

As usual she and the dress are adorable all though I wish she'd take a risk every once and a friggin while. Her choices rival that of a 16 year old Taylor Swift. :x

Jennifer Carpenter of Dexter in Zuhair Murad.
Not familiar with this actress but I'm loving this look. It makes me think of a nice tall flute glass of vintage champagne. Mmhm!

...always plan my class schedule around my must-see-tv schedule. Last year I made the mistake of not doing so and took a Monday night class, causing me to continuously miss Gossip Girl and suffer from bitter withdrawal as a result. I practically lived in hiding that season trying to avoid spoilers.

Until I found this little gem. watch-gossip-girl.com is a site where you can, well, watch Gossip Girl. Any episode, any time. Sure you can watch episodes on cw.com as well, but if you're anything like me, you've missed so much that you need the option to see an episode from 2 months ago. cw.com isn't as kind as to offer you that much.

How to watch episodes:
The site will prompt you several times to download this 3rd party, crappy video player but it's not necessary. Instead:
1. Click on the episode you would like to view.

2. Scroll to the episode description and click "Start watching episode..."
3. A pop up will appear. Click "cancel".
4. A warning window will appear. Click "ok".
5. At the top of the page click "Press start then click here to watch"
6. Scroll a little and voila!

The list looks crazy long but it takes like 5 secs tops to get through. 3.5 if you have a particularly fast internet connection. Another bonus to this site is that it's really blog; there's an editor who comments regularly and you can discuss the big OMG moments with other die hard fans.


But in other news, I would like to give a HUGE shoutout into the universe to the two amazingly good Samaritans who caught up with me 2 city blocks later after I left my debit card in the ATM today. Seriously, I couldn't have been luckier. May God bless them with the same kindness they gave to me. :)


heart always,
