Return from the Beach
Sigh. It’s not easy to come back from sun and fun filled weekend in Kismet. Especially when you’ve only got one final week (albeit a short one) to go at your current job before a two week vacation. Despite a nasty cough and a case of laryngitis (also an unfortunate high school nickname), the weekend

It’s Band-Aid Season!
Break out your swine band-aids, because it’s that time of year again. Last week, walking around the city, I saw women everywhere, leaning against buildings and lampposts or just sitting at their desks applying band-aids to the war wounds caused by the onset of spring, or more specifically, the inclusion of summer shoes into our

As Tom Petty Says
The waiting is the hardest part. Thank you all for your luck and good thoughts yesterday. I’ll keep you posted. But in the meantime, I’ll tell you about the rest of yesterday, as there was some good food involved. Since I happened to be on the East Side, I stopped by Pampano’s taqueria on the

Strangely enough, I also didn’t really take any pictures, even of the food. Not really sure why. I arrived late on Wednesday night and had delicious pork

A Dodgeball Story
Sometimes I really feel like I know everybody. Well, maybe not everybody, but I certainly know a hell of a lot of people. When I met my friend Katie last fall, someone told her that if she talks to me for ten minutes, we’ll find out that we know at least one person in common.

Explanations: Why I Am the Way I Am
In case anyone out there was wondering why, despite the fact that I live alone, there’s enough food in my cabinets and freezer to feed me for a month, take a look at my family’s cabinets. I’m convinced that if my dad and stepmother were trapped for three months in their house, between the cabinets

Jackasses — Not Just for Dating Anymore
So I’m walking to work this morning and I paused at the corner to allow a van to turn in front of me. The guy driving had the fucking New York Post perched on his steering wheel, apparently trying to read while he was driving. Hell, if there are morons like this guy creating life
