Party Shuffle
So I’m sitting here doing some work and I’ve got my iTunes on "party shuffle" mode, which, although it doesn’t really create the party-type atmosphere that might lift me out of the grey-day funk I seem to be in, makes me smile each time a new song comes up — I never know what’s going

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted . . .*
Today is my first official day of a two-week vacation. "Where are you going?" you might ask. "Nowhere," I’ll reply. It’s two weeks in NYC — time to do all those things I threaten to do all the time but never quite get around to as much as I’d like: go to museums, movies, possibly

Back in the Game
The plague seems to have passed once again, hopefully for good this time. Made it to work yesterday, and even to our work holiday dinner. One more day and then I’m off for two weeks for a vacation right here in sunny NYC. But tonight, it’s Slice on Ice — the Slice Pizza Club trip

It’s 4:30 pm — Time to Get off the Couch
I’m actually wrapping up this weekend before the weekend’s over, for a change. After a somewhat draining week at work, I stayed in Friday night, stopping briefly at Von Singh’s for dinner on the way home, then flopping on the couch watching The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and knitting presents

ABC’s of my Weekend: Art, Burgers, and Crudo
I love how I’ve gotten into this ridiculous habit of "catching up" on my weekend activities sometime mid-week. I’ll throw in some of this week too, just as an extra added bonus. After recovering from my cold among other things, I was ready for a fairly mellow weekend, so I started off with a visit

‘Tis the Season
Well, I made it through the double-header Thanksgiving, and I suddenly feel like the holiday season is upon me with a vengance. Holiday parties and events, shopping, making gifts (of both the knitted and chocolate varieties), putting together all the holiday tips for the doormen, and just my general busy social life — it’s a

Early to Bed, Early to Rise
That’s tonight’s motto. Although I didn’t overdo it at all this weekend, I’m feeling a cold coming on, and I do not want to be sick for Thanksgiving. That would be so like me — to get sick for my time off. So, I’m taking some preventative measures. This weekend was great, and very social.

Visiting Another Blue State: the San Fran Report
Jenn and I had both stayed up late to watch election returns last Tuesday night, so when we met super-early on Wednesday morning, we were both incredibly cranky and depressed, hoping that the worst was not yet inevitable. During our flight over Jesusland (as the map that’s been going around now calls it), our pilot

Playing Catch Up (and Other Games)
Once again, my blog is lagging behind my life. I got back last night from a great food and friend-filled trip to San Francisco, where I could counter at least some of the shock, grief, and depression I was feeling about the election results. Ugh. I’ll do my best to post my pictures, etc. tonight,

Urban Punkins
Stumbled across this pumpkin patch in Herald Square on Friday night. Not sure how or why they got there — the Great Pumpkin, perhaps? Happy Halloween!
