Josh & Josh are Rich and Famous

Josh & Josh in The New York Times!

Josh and I are still pinching ourselves about being in The New York Times this week, featuring our short film "Jonathan, Just Because." (Left to right above: Josh H, Kirsten, Josh K, and Adam.)

Crazy!

We're so, so excited about the New York premiere on Sunday in Midtown.

And, never fear: For those of you who can't make it to the premiere, the film will be showing on Towleroad soon.

Scavenger Hunt | Bonus points to the reader who can name the New York magazine currently featuring a photo of Josh H. and Adam Lehman nearly kissing, along with a blurb about the film and its premiere.

Monday

Home for the first time in days. Pajamas, Frosted Flakes, and Rachel Maddow. Couch, blanket, and pillow. This is also known as the good life.
03.09.09 | 9.06p

Digging Kelly Clarkson's new album. Listening to "I Do Not Hook Up" with the volume cranked way up. This better be the second single.
03.09.09 | 11.02p

Yay for late-night, meandering-yet-meaningful marathon phone conversations with Josh K. Totally takes me back to our college days.
03.10.09 | 12.48a

What better time to start a new book? Next up: "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath. I've meant to read it for years, and when I saw it on my bf's shelf I knew it was a sign that it was finally time.
03.10.09 | 12.53a

Tuesday

Rolled over my 401(k) from my last job to my Roth IRA over at Chuckie Schwab. Spiffy! I feel like Gordon Gekko up in here. Now off for a power lunch with Suze Orman to talk derivatives. ;)
03.10.09 | 12.38p

At the beauty parlor up the street, gettin' ma hair did. My stylist has spent the last few minutes cooing about my "adorable little ears." Who knew my ears would be such a hit?
03.10.09 | 2.02p

My first issue of The New Yorker arrived! Time to go and devour it. Love Michelle Obama on the cover. (Love her, period.) But wait, is the mag being snarky with this cover? Hmmm.
03.10.09 | 3.18p

I subscribed to The New Yorker for years, but had to cancel last year due to a pseudo stress disorder from piled up unread issues. Nevertheless, I'm trying again. Fresh start, people. Fearless!
03.10.09 | 3.20p

On the train, reading more of "The Bell Jar." In a way it feels like "Catcher in the Rye," but with a female protagonist. (And an unreliable narrator as well? Stay tuned.)
03.10.09 | 5.58p

Munching on chips and salsa while Josh K captures "Jonathan, Just Because" footage. Saw part of the kitchen scene put together tonight and got very excited. Twelve days till the premiere!

Mobile Mini Blogging, Vol. 6: Weekend Edition

Saturday

When we woke up and saw on the news that it was 62 degrees outside he turned to me and said, "Wanna do a picnic in the park?" I fell for him a little further.
03.07.09 | 11.45a

A dog, two guys, his great-grandma's picnic basket, a bottle of champagne, and a spot on the top of the hill behind the Met. Blue skies. Couples, kids, strollers. My hand on his knee.
03.07.09 | 1.01p

A lengthy, neck-in-neck Scrabble game ensues on the picnic blanket. And, dear lord, after all of that work it's a tie: 256-256. Is this Scrabble's way of telling us we're well matched? ;)
03.07.09 | 3.19p

We tidy up after our lunch and then out come the books as we sprawl out on the blanket.
03.07.09 | 3.28p

Popping sour Starbursts at Josh K's apt while he logs and captures footage from his short film "Jonathan, Just Because." Progress! Only two weeks left until the New York premiere....
03.07.09 | 6.49p

While 40 minutes of footage loads into the computer we flip on Bravo's "Real Housewives of New York City." So trashy! So fun! (And they're shooting right outside my apt! So weird.)
03.07.09 | 8.12p

In the car with my guy, on the way to a party in Astoria. We pass Silver Cup Studios where they filmed "30 Rock" and all of the HBO shows and I genuflect in my seat. Seriously.
03.07.09 | 8.57p

Sunday

Street-side brunch in Hell's Kitchen with my friend Alisha on a 60-degree afternoon. French toast, scrambled eggs, career chat, and a heaping side of boy talk. Then, off to see a play together.
03.08.09 | 12.20p

Just saw the play "Distracted," starring Cynthia Nixon. It's funny, moving, smart, relevant, well staged, features great performances, and will give you plenty to talk about. I'd say get tickets.
03.08.09 | 4.33p

Southern-style dinner party in Harlem. Hello fried chicken, biscuits, greens, hoe cakes (yes, you heard that right), and chocolate cake. Twice as much food as there were guests. Yum. So, so full.
03.08.09 | 8.29p

I finish McEwan's "On Chesil Beach." The ending? Didn't see that coming. I curl under the covers on my side of the bed, rub the dog's belly, and kiss my guy. What a day; what a weekend. Gratitude.

Friday

I feel really good about yesterday's interview. It's a great position at an outstanding magazine, and I feel lucky that my qualifications seem to match up really well. Holding good thoughts. :)
03.06.09 | 10.02a

Last night I saw the play "Inked Baby," starring Tony-winner LaChanze. Unfortunately it was a bit uneven, and though I enjoyed the night out with my guy, I can't say I recommend the play.
03.06.09 | 10.40a

Can we talk about how much I love the Trader Joe's in Brooklyn? Healthy food, great staff, and the lowest grocery bill in town? I'm so there.
03.06.09 | 12.31p

An ex called today and it was actually a really nice, warm convo. We're both settled and happy and I think we're finally able to be truly happy for the other. A little peace and resolution.
03.06.09 | 1.35p

CNN reports that 651,000 Americans lost their jobs last month and 8.1% of the country is unemployed. It's shocking the number of friends I have who were laid off and are still unemployed.
03.06.09 | 2.37p

The beauty and wonder of a mid-afternoon nap, my dear sirs and madames, is not to be underestimated. Especially with the promise of a big night ahead.
03.06.09 | 4.21p

The woman across from me on the train is plucking her eyebrows entirely unselfconsciously. Just wondering: Is this really something that can't be done at home? (At least it's not nail clipping.)
03.06.09 | 8.17p

Dinner with the boys (and the boy) on the Upper West Side. I love this neighborhood. Such a beautiful night, too. I have fantasies of living up here some day. (But then, don't most New Yorkers?)
03.06.09 | 8.40p

In a miles-long line for opening night of "Watchmen" with a posse of 8 (including Josh K. and the boy). Are the rest of these people as excited to see Patrick Wilson in spandex as I am?
03.06.09 | 10.11p

"Watchmen" deserves an Oscar nom for visual effects, no question. The opening sequence is a masterpiece itself. The rest? Our group was split in their opinion. But in the end I'd say see it.
03.07.09 | 2.58a

In a cab with my guy, windows part-way down, whooshing through a silent Central Park. His hand in mine, the smell of early spring coming through the windows. I rest my head on his shoulder.

Tuesday

Breakfast at the coffee shop up the street. Brown sugar oatmeal on a cold, icy winter morning. I write in my journal, flip through Vanity Fair, and read another chapter of my book. Aaah.
03.03.09 | 9.45a

I broke up with a boyfriend here once. It was heartbreaking to watch through the giant plate glass windows from my table as he walked down the street and out of sight. I never saw him again.
03.03.09 | 10.16a

The financial markets have hit a 12-year low. Oy! What's going on, you know? Remember when the Dow hit 14,000? It's now less than 7,000. That's kind of mind-blowing.
03.03.09 | 11.03a

One sure investment in an economic downturn? Love. Muahahaha! Inordinately sappy, but true. Midday text messages from the bf are the best. (My apologies if you're now nauseated.)
03.03.09 | 12.30p

STOP THE PRESSES! Big news: I have an interview on Thursday at an awesome magazine for a position for which I seem to be ideally qualified. Fingers firmly crossed!
03.03.09 | 4.35p

Just got back from two and a half hours of Coronas and burritos with Lisa, talking until we were hoarse about magazines, movies, and guys. Reminded me how much I miss my mag ladies.
03.03.09 | 9.38p

Back in Brooklyn with my guy. You know you've found the real thing when he'll come to Brooklyn for you. ;) Picking out an outfit for tomorrow's big interview. So looking forward to it.

Monday

Snow day! Eight inches of snow have fallen. The bf's work is cancelled. We pull the covers up and burrow in. I can hear the snowplows on the avenue below. Sounds of my MN childhood.
03.02.09 | 9.36a

New York City schools are closed due to the snow for the first time in five years.
03.02.09 | 10.50a

Making hearty winter food—cavatappi with a spicy faux-sausage sauce—while the bf does some work stuff on his laptop. The dog is asleep. The streets are coated in thick layers of fresh snow.
03.02.09 | 12.03p

Back in Brooklyn, I finished reading "The Reader." I was surprised to find myself crying at the end. It's tidy, no-nonsense Germanic prose, yet somehow it gets beneath the skin and into the heart.
03.02.09 | 4.43p

In catching up on DVR I'm reminded of how much I love Rachel Maddow. She's funny, smart, very quick, and one of the savviest interviewers on television. I think I may be harboring a slight crush.
03.02.09 | 7.14p

Time to start a new book! Next up is Ian McEwan's "On Chesil Beach." I really enjoyed "Atonement," so I'm looking forward to seeing what this outing has to offer in the McEwan oeuvre.

Experiments in Mobile Mini Blogging, Vol. 2

Sunday

I wake up with my guy curled up on one side, the dog curled up on the other. Promptly fall back asleep under the big pile of covers.
03.01.09 | 7.20a

Monet at the Met with my man. (Work that alliteration!)
03.01.09 | 11.33a

Josh K. said, "Meet me at the Plaza." So I did. Our friend, Elin, is staying there with her husband, Josh. No surprise: the hotel is beautiful. It made me want to have tea and crumpets or something.
03.01.09 | 5.43p

Josh K. and I are mowing down a large pepperoni pizza and logging and capturing footage from his short film "Jonathan, Just Because." Long live the great director! And god bless Domino's.
03.01.09 | 7.40p

I think it's so cute that New Yorkers use umbrellas in the snow. If you tried that in our home state of Minnesota you'd get laughed right outta town. Marge Gunderson would quietly judge you.
03.01.09 | 9.56p

Sunday night at ten and the subway is still packed. I do kinda love that about this city.
03.01.09 | 10.07p

The snow is falling heavily in the lamplight. The streets of Manhattan, unlike the E train, are deserted. Jem's cover of "Yellow" plays on my iPod. On my way to the bf's apartment.
03.01.09 | 10.20p

My day finishes the way it started: curled up with the guy and the pup. Gonna read a few more pages of "The Reader" and then click off the light. Outside the snow keeps falling.
