Random Thoughts for Today
– I hope this weekend's weather report is wrong — I really need a good beach weekend. If not, I suppose I'll get a relaxing getaway weekend nonetheless.– I like packing for trips, but am always afraid I'll forget something important.– I'm enjoying Top Chef Masters, although the judges are much nicer to the contestants

It’s A Bird, It’s a Frog, It’s . . .
Every day on my way to work I pass a billboard on the side of a phone booth for the movie version of Underdog. What this means is that the theme song (which I absolutely love) is stuck in my head for at least an hour — or until Hold the Line pops back into

Weekend Wrapup
Started off the weekend with a farewell party for Teddi, who’s moving off to Seattle for 6 months. As much as we all want Teddi to be happy, we selfishly want her to hate Seattle so that she’ll come back to NYC. I’m going to put her in touch with Geek and his family, who

Burgers Galore
After a very long day on Friday, Jenn came over for dinner. We shared a good bottle of wine, some olive tapenade from my night with Ted Allen, and I made what was quite possibly the worst pizza I’ve ever made. I’m going to blame it on the fact that I didn’t let the dough

Triplex
Well, I had quite the movie-filled weekend. I started out with the X-Men on Friday night (my first exposure to an X-Men film) for tons of action, effects, and explosions; then on to An Inconvenient Truth on Saturday, for a bit of consciousness-raising; and finishing with Keeping Up With the Steins on Sunday, to keep

The Recap
While you’re all still voting (I’ll keep the poll open until midnight, Eastern Standard time, this Friday), I figured I should (finally) give a recap of New Year’s Eve festivities and the aftermath. I had a few party invitations which were all, unfortunately, way too far apart for comfortable party hopping, so I did the

The Weekend Wrapup
After the Vendys and a whirlwind of a week, I stayed in Friday night. I must have been exhausted because I slept for 12 hours. Saturday I went to the gym, visited the Dosa cart, then headed up to Westchester to spend the afternoon with a group of my high school friends and their kids.

A Full Belly
Well if I don’t have the energy to write a Gothamist column tonight, the least I can do is write something over here. I’m feeling a little sluggish after the ribs and pulled pork at Blues, BBQ and Fireworks (lunch) and macaroni and cheese (dinner), but at least I went to the gym beforehand. Thanks

Because I Am Tired and Lazy
I am not going to go bother with the details about my weekend. As usual, it’s really all about the food roundup, so I might as well get right down to it, starting with the amazing lunch on Friday at Aureole to send off the lovely summer associates who kept me out so late the
