Year: 2004

  • Holy crap

    I’m poor. I just worked out all our finances and whatnot. I shouldn’t do much of anything until I find more work. And to think there are birthdays and holidays and anniversaries upon us, it’s enough to make a happy gal weep. I can’t do all the things I planned on doing. And that sucks.

  • Updates on Random

    I have to run to B & H today because I seem to have misplaced/lost my digital camera cord. It’s a shame, too. Because I have all these images burning a hole in my camera. Later, I should have mihow.com’s eyes back. Speaking of little people, we watched Bad(der) Santa on Toby’s computer last night.…

  • Dumont's on Union

    Last night, after dropping 128 dollars at our local Key Food, Gerry called to see if we wanted to have dinner. Even though the move has all but drained our bank accounts and we’re trying to be as frugal as possible, we agreed because we enjoy Gerry’s company and I wanted fish. Gerry took us…

  • NY Cable?

    Toby and I have used Comcast for the past two years. It’s great, you can get digital cable and internet access for the low, low price of 120 bucks a month. (Yes, I realize that’s kinda pricey, but oh well.) However, here in Brooklyn, Comcast is not an option. Which is too bad, because I…

  • What if I drop my pants?

    I am wary of this invention called a clothesline. While I am using this clothesline in order to dry our clothes (after dumping liquid fabric softener into the rinse cycle, something I haven’t ever done before.) I just don’t buy the fact that they won’t fall every time the wind blows. Which basically has me…

  • Settling

    Every once and a while I have a moment of clarity and everything just feels o.k. Right now, I am sitting on the floor of our new and very empty apartment. I am staring up at the blue sky from the dining room floor. Toby is across from me leaning against the wall. He is…

  • Brooklyn Apartment Update

    I’d like to sincerely thank everyone for the feedback yesterday on here and via email regarding our apartment search. After a lot of talk and then a little pressure from one of the folks we seek to rent from, we have decided to go with the first apartment. We took the one a wee bit…

  • MONTEL DROVE MY HUSBAND TO MURDER ME.

    Yesterday, I spent the morning cleaning my brother’s kitchen and bathroom. Why, you might ask? Because the Monica in me is fierce. (Yes, I did just make a Friends’ reference but it goes with the theme of the post. Sort of.) Plus, I was bored and for some reason the Internet stopped working and my…

  • Morty is a hipster slut.

    I’m not sure what life was like before wireless internet. Now, you can sit in a middle eastern cafe on the corner of Bedford and North 7th and use “Morty’s” wireless internet connection. Which I probably shouldn’t be advertising on the Internet as I imagine the more people who know about my covert operation, the…

  • Punk'd

    I’m pretty sure that we were Punk’d yesterday. We had an appointment with a woman at noon to see three apartments in Brooklyn. We met her at her office, filled out some paperwork and then headed off with her and a “coworker” in her car. She was a small asian woman. And, forgive me for…
