What a wonderful place the Internet is! I started a blog on the salon.com blogging platform, Open Salon, a while back just to see what it was like. I don’t usually see much action over there, but it’s just a mirror of this blog, so I didn’t expect to. But this morning, I got four e-mails in a row saying I had comments and wondered what I had said to incite love from strangers, so I went to investigate, and it turns out my blog post from yesterday is one of their editor’s picks featured on the landing page!
How neat! Open Salon has a very robust community of active bloggers and commenters, and although I’ll admit I’m not using it to its full advantage at all, I’d definitely recommend opening an account of your own and checking out their editor’s picks each day.
Other than that, I’ve been blogging at donuts4dinner.com all week, for some reason. You probably don’t care about my new ratings system or burger review, but those of you who have heard my years of cries for dinner at the much-exalted restaurant will be pleased to note that I HAVE EATEN AT PER SE AND AM THE HAPPIEST GIRL ALIVE.
tiny oysters and a big, ol’ pile of caviar
Now I can go back to eating nothing but pizza, assured that I have had all of the good food there is to be had.

CONGRATS!! Couldn’t have happened to a nicer gal. :)
Miss Katie, I’ll admit, I read your blog, but rarely comment. And I am living vicariously through your dining exploits.
Your bite-by-bite/play-by-play of your Per Se experience was wonderful. What diverse tastes and creations! A dream-worthy dining excursion.
HEY! I just updated my Facebook status and then happened to see that you liked one of Alison K.’s statuses on my news feed and thought, “Didn’t I have some sort of interaction with Crystal lately? I looked all over Facebook before thinking to check here. If it’s not obvious, I have a TERRIBLE memory.
But hello! It’s so neat that you’ve been reading. I’ve opened up your blog in a tab so I can spend the rest of the night reading it like a nerd instead of, you know, CLUBBING or GETTING DRUNK AND MAKING MISTAKES like normal girls our age. Yes!
Hooray! Before your famous-people-you’ve-seen-in-NYC tab at the top of the blog, you should totally add a list of all the ways you’ve achieved Internet fame. You’ve got the coolest virtual resume of anyone I know.
Cool! I’d never even heard of Open Salon, but I’m going to set up an account ASAP.
Because, as we’ve both known for some time now, my number-one goal is To Be Like Katie Ett in All Things.
Look at you, going all big-time!
I’d never heard of the Salon blog thing either. May have to investigate.
I’m not even going to comment on your fame; I’d rather talk about food. I don’t even WANT that food, and I want it. I’m so sick of Chinese food, except we found this amazing noodle place that’s down an alley behind some buildings across the street from the school we work at. They’re potato noodles, in this spicy-as-hell broth that you add even more spice (plus some kind of soy milk something) to, and oh sweet baby Jesus, I’m gonna miss that stuff when I come home.
Sweet on the feature spot! We all knew you were famous. I mean, we know who you are, after all.
Would you think less of me if you knew I’ve never had caviar in my life… and don’t know if I want to?
