Updates on Random.
This weekend was lovely. We didn’t do much after a very long night out with friends on Friday. It began with a festive Chopping Block Christmas party at the Telephone Bar. We had drinks and ate dinner. It was great talking to Matthew again and meeting his new wife, Lorie. Rachel looks wonderful and her…

Blueberry pie
Lately, I have been exploring “healthy” baking. Last week I made an apple cobbler. I used whole wheat flour, apples, a few tablespoons of Sugar In the Raw, two tablespoons of lite butter, cinnamon and nutmeg. The entire pie was about 700 calories. (That’s good, right?) Tonight, I wanted to try a blueberry pie. I…

For Hire
If anyone knows of any freelance and/or full time work in the tri-state area, I suddenly have some time on my hands. Today is even more bizarre than last week’s bizarre day. And here I thought it wasn’t possible. (Days like today, no, weeks like this, make me believe in God. Because this is entirely…

Tales from a Texas bathroom.
At a rest stop in Texas, Toby and I pulled over to use the bathroom and buy some bottled water. Driving through the chimney top of Texas is like driving on a heavily-policed piece of brown cardboard. We had driven through Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, California, Arizona,…

Days of Yore
Apparently, last year I kept deleting posts as well. But the year before I wrote about Xena. Good times.

PROOF!
Toby Joe and I saw an apparition on the L train last night. We were pretty sure that this person was no longer around. But lo and behold, we managed to capture him on camera. (Click on the picture to zoom.) P.S. Admittedly, this will only make sense to maybe three of us.

Geo I'm an asshole
To the sphincter(s) who choose to drive like speed demons, out to revenge upon anyone going the normal speed limit at 7:45 in the morning, in order to maybe hit the BQE 1 tenth of a second faster than had they not been a total asshole, all the while driving A GEO TRACKER?!! ARE YOU…

My commute
Currently, I work in Chelsea on 7th Avenue and 19th street. I hop on the L at Graham Avenue (the closest L stop to our house. It’s about a 7 block walk). I take the L to the 6th Avenue and walk up to 19th from there. This takes anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes.…

A Moving Story.
We’re almost done opening every box from our recent move. I think we have about 5 left. Last time we moved across the country, we ended up with some broken pottery. Which is such a bummer considering we hand threw it all. These things happen, though. This time, it seems we’re coming out breakage-free. And…

Let there be cable…
We will finally have cable come next week. (Assuming one of us can actually be there.) You know, there is a reason that drugstores, video stores, malls, and dry cleaners are open late. WE WORK FOR A LIVING. Why can’t cable, electric, gas, phone, and bank people work a later shift? This “window” thing they…
