THIS IS OUR YEAR FOR A THANKSGIVING with a twist. I’m living in my first apartment that really feels like home (hooray!), so last week my mom packed a bag and drove down the coast to spend the holiday with me. We’re going to be eating an all-vegetarian meal with some dear friends in Charlotte. On the menu is old-fashioned corn pudding, apple crisp, mashed potatoes, sautéed kale, and baked squash with apples. What won’t we be eating, you ask (turkey and ham aside)? Seaweed. Yup, that’s right. Because we already tried that on Thanksgiving. [click to continue…]

NO ONE HAS EVER ASKED me for procrastination tips (which is surprising, considering how hiding from looming work is something Cancerians are famous for). But if anyone is interested in mastering the fine art of procrastination, here’s my first tip: jezebel.com. They have strange videos, celebrity news, nonsense and an array stories on women’s issues posted daily. This week, the editors are paying video montage tribute to two of television’s favorite women as they gracefully exit off-screen. Yes, I’m talking about Oprah and Susie Greene. Who would have known these two would have so much in common? Turns out they both can scream (one with significantly more profanity, however). Watch them here and report: who do you think wins for greatest lung capacity?

THINGS ARE GETTING a little grizzly down here in North Carolina. I’ve got assignments coming out my ears, and my closet seems to have projectile vomited all my clothes into the many corners of my apartment. So please forgive me for the lack of blogging presence while I gather myself. But luckily I did get to take a break on Halloween last weekend, for which I dressed up in one of Erin Dollar’s fantastic homemade beards! Remember this post on Erin from way-back-when? Well, I’m now officially in the sisterhood of bearded ladies. Hooray!

LAST WEEK MY DAD WAS visiting me in North Carolina (hence my brief hiatus from posting here), and we spent a great afternoon at the movies seeing Whip It. My dad is over 60 and currently lives on an island in the middle of the Pacific, so he thought the movie was hokey and strange (although he did enjoy the surround sound), but I was smitten. I may even start roller skating. Alia Shawkat (of Arrested Development fame) and Ellen Page play besties in the movie, and as it turns out they’re great friends in real life! I love this interview with them (watch the full video here). I wish we could all hang out and talk sisterhood, don’t you? (Plus: for a whole heap of movies all about sisters, check out our homemade directory.)

WHILE MY TSP PARTNERS in crime, Marion and Paige, are busy getting healthy this week–what with tackling BMI myths and detoxing out the wazoo–I am slouching in front of a computer for hours on end, eating copious amounts of Vanilla Heath Bar Crunch, and staying up so late that my eyes may permanently cross. When they suggested I write a corresponding post about my health this week, I thought about it. Then I saw these photos of Natasha Lyonne by Richard Kern for Vice Magazine, and I knew I couldn’t lie. Readers: I have not done anything healthy for days. There, I said it.
P.S. Vice is calling this photo series “Acting Out at Home.” Awesome.

IN ANTICIPATION OF MY TREK southward, I’ve been nesting like nobody’s business. In my head, I see my soon-to-be new apartment as beautiful, clean and cozy, smelling like fresh-baked muffins. (While trying to not envision all the hard work it’s going to take to get me there. Eep!) But my vision just may come true now that I’m a part of a sisterhood with such creative and generous women.

THE SISTER PROJECT HAS been a-buzz in the last several weeks with the completion of our updated master movie list in The Sisterpedia. TSP’s Paige gathered all the sister movie suggestions from our blogs, your comments, and emails, and compiled them into a handy go-to list with descriptions and everything (perfect for your netflix queue). I’ve talked about some of my favorite sister movies here, here and here. But what about you? What sister flicks do you love? Have we missed any in the master list? (The clip above is for inspiration, from Mermaids.)

IF YOU HAVEN’T POKED around the other corners of The Sister Project in a while, you may have missed some of our fantastic posts on the sisterhood of crafts. And what I mean by “may have missed” is totally missed, because I have been the lamest crafter among the blogging sisters of TSP…until now. [click to continue…]
