Mama to an 1-year-old girl and a 5-year-old shih tzu. Married.

I've blogged for lots o' websites; written essays for McSweeney's and Hackwriters; and worked on a ton of sitcoms. I watch a gross amount of Bravo and HGTV, and am hanging on to the pipe dream that one day I'll own a quaint little B&B somewhere on the coast of Italy. Won't you come visit?

Do you think it's weird that all celebrities have long, gorgeous, healthy-looking, flowing locks? Don't. Because all most of their hair is fake. They wear extensions. Weaves. Bogus hair, people! They just don't cop to it.

Now, I love me some clip-in hair extensions. I occasionally wear them to work or when I'm going out. It gives my boring, thin hair a little oomph. But I admit it. And you know who else admits it? Teen Mom Chelsea Houska. Hell, Chelsea goes well beyond admitting it. She actually posted a video of her "fixin' dat weeeave". (I think Queen Elizabeth was the first to use that phrase?)

Ah, butt dialing. It's gotten countless people in trouble -- cheating lovers; shit-talking friends. But(t) now it's dovetailed into a new realm: Accidentally butt-dialing 911 mid-crime. What are the odds? Slim, to say the least. But hey, this really happens.

Nathan Teklemariam and Carson Rinehart, both 20, were hanging out recently when one of them accidentally dialed 911. When the operator answered the call, unbeknownst to them, they began talking about their desire to get high. "I just want to smoke weed so bad right now," one of them reportedly said as the dispatcher in Fresno, California listened to the conversation. But after a half hour or so, the discussion went in another direction. The boys were narrating a burglary they were allegedly committing -- and the operator heard every last word.
