If I Could Turn Back Time

Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow in Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.

This weekend marks a pretty major milestone — my 10-year high school reunion. My thoughts on the occasion? I’m going to defer to a cliche: Where has the time gone?

I will admit, I’m excited to go back. I had a good time in high school, and my graduating class of 96 students means one thing: I knew the majority of my classmates quite well. That said, other than the occasional friend request on Facebook, I’ve lost touch with most. I talk to my prom dates from both junior and senior years, and I keep up with my good friend Lauren that I first met in fourth grade. Other than a few others here and there, that’s really about it.

But maybe all the reminiscing this weekend will spark re-connections with friends from the past? In less than 24 hours, it seems I’ll find out.

Have a great weekend!

Sex is Back!

Jason Lewis in New York Resident.

Hubba hubba! Check out the latest issue of New York Resident, featuring the oh-so-gorgeous Jason Lewis, aka Samantha Jones‘ love interest Smith Jerrod in Sex and the City 2. Jason talks about shooting in New York, and the $100 cab ride he once took to the Lower East Side.

Inquiring minds want to know — will you see the next installment of Sex when it opens in theaters on May 27th?

Baby Love

Striped Blanket Friend from Giggle.

Last night, I visited a friend in Brooklyn who recently gave birth to the most adorable twin boys. To celebrate her momentous occasion, I popped into Giggle — my go-to spot for baby gifts on the Upper East Side — and picked out this Striped Sun Hat and matching Blanket Friend. They’re each part of Giggle’s own Better Basics line. I bought two sets for the twins, one in orange and one in navy blue. Can’t you just picture the cuteness as they stroll down the street!?

Breaking Up is Hard To Do

Daryl Wein and Zoe Lister-Jones in Breaking Upwards.

If you’re looking for something upbeat, this film is not the way to go. That said, Breaking Upwards is certainly worth a watch. Set in New York, it’s about a young couple that, after four years of co-dependency, decide it’s time to go their separate ways. They do so by strategizing their own break-up. Ouch. Yes, it’s a bit painful to watch at times, but the film’s authentic portrayal of New York is quite beautiful, and the variety of cringe-worthy dating scenes brought front and center by on-screen couple Daryl Wein and Zoe Lister-Jones offer some of the film’s best laughs.

What do you think? Will you check it out? If you do, let me know. It’s playing now at the IFC Center in New York.
