The Weekend in Pictures
From top to bottom: 1) The Lovely Miss Katie and her sister Jenny at he birthday dinner at ‘inoteca; 2) a dragonfly at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden; 3) we convinced Jeff to stay in town so that we wouldn’t have to drive upstate (thanks, Jeff!); 4) after drinking wine in Jenn & Carolyn’s backyard

Aloooooooha!
I’m back from Hawaii and am kicking myself for not scheduling a much longer trip. I stayed in Waikiki (a.k.a. tourist central) and didn’t see all that much of Oahu, although I managed to go snorkeling (saw some huge turtles) and hiking. If I go back, I’d love to go to the North Shore of

The Safety Word is “Bananas”
Nothing has made me laugh harder than that particular phrase in a loooong time. No, I can’t even begin to explain. The long weekend was so much fun that I had to stay out at the beach last night just so I could enjoy yet another amazing meal (pulled pork sandwiches (pig roast leftovers) with

I Made the Empire State Building Disappear
So I tried to take a picture of the Empire State Building on my way home tonight — the way the light was hitting it made it look almost fake, like part of a movie set. Apparently, my camera phone sucks — you can’t even see it at all. I’m home tonight packing for an

Back in the Saddle Again
And I’m waaaay tan. I week at the beach was just what I needed. I was able to clear my head a bit, and now the clouds aren’t quite as heavy as they were before I left. Three books, one lobster dinner/birthday party (complete with John’s traditional lobster hypnosis session, pictured above), the first smoked

The Non-Beachy Beach Weekend
True, the only time I got to put on my new bathing suit was when I got into the hot tub, and I didn’t see the sun all weekend, but I had a wonderfully relaxing weekend at the beach. My dinner turned out great (damn, I love that grilled pineapple salsa!), I got to shake

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

Glam-o-rama
So apparently according to my mom, the old picture had to go. Via an email today: "I think it’s time for a new picture of you on your blog – that smile is starting to annoy me. You need to evoke a different persona once in a while." Well, mom, still smiling here, but now

A Little Erotica, A Little Porn
I finally managed to make it to Rachel’s In the Flesh reading series after several months of scheduling conflicts. Although I certainly enjoyed the readings/performances, my favorite part of the evening was seeing so many people whom I hadn’t seen in way too long (okay, there are probably more links, but I was getting lazy

Weekend Wrapup
The few moments last weekend I didn’t spend either at the movies (Poseidon at the IMAX), chowing down on swine (Pigfest), or on the couch recovering (from Hallie’s wedding), I was apparently mugging for the camera with Doug. Lovely, aren’t we? Pictures of the Pigfest and a few from the wedding where my tongue isn’t
