Dispatches from my first night in Vegas: Woke up at 8pm covered in bread crumbs from an impromptu post-dinner nap in my room. I live like an out-of-control rock star.

Dessert sushi from Yamashiro last night. Yay for a 50% off Groupon or we’d never have bothered to try such a schmancy place.

This has been posted a gajillion times already, but I want it on my own Tumblr to pretty up the place. It’s a really *turns head to cough* fantastic Monique Lhuillier dress.

I love wall decals but I don’t trust myself to apply them correctly.

After watching “Alice in Wonderland” last night, I kind of want this.

Walked by the Kodak Theatre last night to get a glimpse of all the hubbub that was closing down Hollywood Blvd. Oscar was still in bubblewrap and rubber bands, not looking particularly glamorous.

ABOVE: OK Go acoustic set on the rooftop of the LACMA West Penthouse. Sans Dan (who is in Mexico), the band played a short six-song set that included “Here It Goes Again,” “Last Leaf” and of course, “This Too Shall Pass,” before debuting the accompanying music video. Pieces of their Rube Goldberg machine were on display inside (very cool), and the creative folks of Synn Labs were there to answer questions. Random celebrity sighting of the night? Weird Al Yankovic.

And not that it bears repeating, but: Damian Kulash is a fox. That man could not be any sexier if he tried. I can’t remember the last time I got this schoolgirl starry eyed - oh right, that would be the last time I saw OK Go in concert. Later, while bassist Tim Nordwind was behind the DJ booth, my friend and I didn’t know how to ask him for a photo without looking like total geeks, so I yelled “Great DJ-ing!” at him from about a foot away and then quite possibly flashed a thumbs up. We got the photo with him, but my cool points took a real dive last night.

Slowly catching up on Fashion Week(s), so I’m starting with Milan and moving backward. What are the odds that I could wear this Balmain to the OK Go release party tomorrow and not look like I accidentally dressed up to go to a midnight screening of “Alice in Wonderland”? Although those boys DO wear a lot of paisley.

Actually, on second thought, this outfit would be perfect for both occasions.

My favorite picture from the last roll. A quick snap taken while crossing the street that happened to be framed well.

It was hot out today. But in light of the weather back home, I suppose complaining about it would be kind of dickish.

OK, I need to stop trolling the internet whenever I get a little nick or cut because it makes me think I’m dying EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I got a tiny, minuscule thorn prick from a residual Valentine’s Day rose when I was tossing them into the trash yesterday. The prick didn’t break skin, and I could barely even figure out exactly where it made contact with my thumb. So naturally, because I am a giant wuss, I ran to my friend and primary care physician, the internet, to see what could be the worst possible outcome of this devastating injury.

Did you know that people can DIE from rose thorn pricks? There’s a huge cache of thorn prick-related obits out there. Granted, I couldn’t find many that were published after 1926, and all of them seemed to be caused by actual skin-breaking, dirt-drenching, bloody gardening wounds, not by packaged roses bought from Trader Joe’s; nevertheless, it sent me through a routine panic.

Some rational part of my brain acknowledges that an (albeit poetic) death does not await me, just as it hasn’t awaited me the last eighteen hundred times I’ve been through this, but I still can’t help but freak out. (I mean, deep down, I know the only reason I continue to blog about it is so that someone will know what happened to me if I suddenly die). I hate this. I hate this so, so much. Being a hypochondriac, mysophobe, whatever you want to call it, is like being forced to ride a roller coaster when you really hate roller coasters. You know you’re going to come out fine, but there’s still a lot of screaming on the way down. You’re strapped in for a scary ride that’s beyond your control, and you just have to keep telling yourself that it will all be over soon and you’ll be OK, really.

Ugh. It sucks. In other news, check out how blunt obits were back in the day: “Her suffering was intense.” Is it any wonder the internet makes me freak out over little things?

You know it's been a while since you've done crunches when you mistake sore abs for a tummy ache.
