GO FUCK YOURSELF, DIET COKE!

GO FUCK YOURSELF, DIET COKE!

I have a feeling that you may read this and think, “I quit soda in high-school. What’s this girl’s problem?” or, “I didn’t think Jamie would be the kind of girl to drink diet soda.” Well, I am, or I was. My friends know I drink soda; I order it at every meal. It’s like [...]

L.A. TIMES BLOG, BRAND X INTERVIEW

L.A. TIMES BLOG, BRAND X INTERVIEW

X Questions: Reluctantly Moving to L.A.’s Jamie Sneider Brand X, The Los Angeles Times September, 2010 Most performers come to Los Angeles with dreams of Hollywood fame (or at the very least, paparazzi attention). Jamie Sneider came with a blog — a reluctant one. An NYU graduate and longtime New Yorker, she and her now-ex-husband [...]

ZUMBA AND SHAKIRA

ZUMBA AND SHAKIRA

I like the two words “Zumba” and “Shakira.” They remind me of David Letterman’s, “Oprah, Uma. Uma, Oprah.” This morning I took my first Zumba class. I’ve been wondering about “Zumba”, and since I am trying to get out of my paralyzing comfort-zone, I decided to check it out. I’m also trying to religiously go [...]

FROM SEXY TO SLOB: MY NEW MAKEOVER

FROM SEXY TO SLOB: MY NEW MAKEOVER

“I always try to look my best,” my male friend explained upon my arrival in Los Angeles three years ago, “Because you never know who you will run into and it’s important to always look your best.” I’ve been thinking about this sentiment and exactly what is my best. I have come to the conclusion [...]

YOM KIPPUR IN SANTA MONICA

YOM KIPPUR IN SANTA MONICA

I battled over what to do for Yom Kippur. My plan was to attend the 11:00 am service at the Laugh Factory on Sunset Boulevard, but I wasn’t sure that I wanted to go. I was very exhausted from a hard week. My boyfriend and I stayed up late watching Season Two of “Mad Men”. [...]

SINK OR MEDITATE

SINK OR MEDITATE

I’m in a mood that makes one want to pull up to the bar, order the darkest red wine and smoke a couple cigs. (I have to keep telling myself that you care about this post because it’s slightly personal.) This week has been tough. Very, very tough. Lots of crying and lots of speculation. [...]

NEW YORK CITY IS MY LOS ANGELES LOVE AFFAIR

NEW YORK CITY IS MY LOS ANGELES LOVE AFFAIR

I had a dream last night that I was shown an apartment in NYC. I didn’t exactly recognize the neighborhood; it was a mixture of the West Village meets the Lower East Side meets downtown Boston, not far from where I’m from. The apartment was very circular, like a box of four rooms, with very [...]

MAYBE IF I WROTE A FOOD BLOG, YOU’D READ IT.

MAYBE IF I WROTE A FOOD BLOG, YOU’D READ IT.

“Maybe if I wrote about the ‘Top 10 Reasons You Should Get an iPhone’, I’d get more hits on my blog,” I said to my boyfriend tonight. There are times I wonder about this blog: Why the fuck would anyone want to read it? Who cares? It should be more topical. I thought about how [...]

ANTHONY BOURDAIN AND ERIC RIPERT, A REASON TO BE TURNED ON.

ANTHONY BOURDAIN AND ERIC RIPERT, A REASON TO BE TURNED ON.

I found myself thoroughly turned on watching Anthony Bourdain’s 100th episode of “No Reservations”. Bourdain brought along heartthrob chef, Eric Ripert (Le Bernadin and “Top Chef”), as his co-host to explore the local food movement in Paris, France. Some girls love Robert Pattinson, some girls love Johnny Depp, but I’ll take Eric Ripert anytime. It wasn’t until I [...]

THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE AND TAKING A CHANCE

THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE AND TAKING A CHANCE

Four months ago my boyfriend’s sister said to me, with the force, accuracy and aim of a marksman, “You’re stuck in the past. That’s your problem.” We didn’t know each other that well and I was a bit taken aback. Given that she had just recently met me, a tiny voice in me muttered, “No, [...]

MY SENSUAL DENTAL VISIT. WHEN’S MY NEXT APPOINTMENT?

MY SENSUAL DENTAL VISIT. WHEN’S MY NEXT APPOINTMENT?

The title sounds like the making of a malpractice suit, but I just had a really good experience at the dentist office. So good that I feel great about life. If you knew me personally, the idea of enjoying the dentist sounds like a big fat lie. Let me give you a little background: I [...]
