  • May the Force Be With You

    I swear that the dogs in the big dog run at Washington Square Park were trying to do this while I was walking Moxie this morning:

  • Stuck in my Head: Hang Up The Phone

    One of my all time favorites from back in the day (had a brief cameo in the movie Sixteen Candles). Became irrelevant with the invention of call waiting.

  • More Tales from Tales (This Time, With Video)

    One (of many) event at Tales that I didn't attend was the Spirited Awards. Instead, I went and ate dinner at Cochon with some friends. Given the fact that it's historically a long, drawn-out affair with very little food (and the food that is served isn't particularly good), I think I made the right choice.

  • Poof

    "And like that, poof. He's gone."* I am not a person who disappears. At least not deliberately. If I don't return a phone call quickly, I'll likely send an email letting you know I got your message and that I'll call when things slow down. If I don't want to talk to you because you've

  • Mawwiage

    As much as I wanted to do that bit from The Princess Bride at my sister's wedding tonight, I am restraining myself. She's much more grown up now, but this is still one of my favorite pictures of her. Congratulations to Katie and Pete! Looking forward to celebrating with you this weekend.

Caucasians) and watch the Big Lebowski.  Once they had kids, the tradition slowed down, but last year I watched it up in VT (sans mac & cheese, unfortunately),

  • Words of Inspiration. Sort of.

    Heard this the other night at Vandaag. And it's been stuck in my head ever since. I found it impossible not to whistle along!

  • Weekend Wrapup

    An excellent and fairly well-balanced three day weekend, I'd say!  Friday night started with a quick stop at a birthday celebration for @Lincolnwrites, then on the Red Hook express for dinner at Fort Defiance with @livethelushlife @mysteryaction & @shotsandcuts before heading to Sunny's for Jill DeGroff's art show, where I met several folks in person

  • Hot Date

    It seems somehow wrong how excited I am about the hot date I have with my couch, a home-cooked meal, and Up on Nextflix tonight, especially since it's likely that nobody else is joining me. Sigh.
