    Soung just left. Sometimes silence is so loud. Katrina’s name came up over the weekend. And seeing Soung again brought back the cold reality that I won’t ever see Katrina again. I hadn’t realized how much I link the two of them together. I met Soung because of Katrina. Had that not happened, my life…

    In spite of all this bloody rain, I have had the best day. Nico, George, Jocko and I went to an art exhibit featuring the work by Jocko and Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth fame. The exhibit is up for another couple of weeks. If you’re in the area, check it out. I’m seriously considering…

    Tonight, both Nico and George are coming into the city to see Antony and The Johnsons at Carnegie Hall. I’m going to try and see it with them, if there are tickets still available AND I can leave work in time to get there. I have two phone interviews scheduled for tonight so we’ll see.…

    On Monday night, I was chatting with my brother on AIM about Jesus. We were both inspecting the Alternate Side Parking Calendar as currently we both have cars and I have received two tickets for forgetting to move mine. Plus, Ryan often drives around for a half an hour looking for a spot. He’s getting…

    Toby Joe and I met four years ago today. I just got a HUGE bouquet of roses delivered to me at work. Most of the women here are shocked. Wait, a man sent you flowers on the anniversary of the day you met? How on earth does a man remember that? I’d like to think…

  • Who Would Win in a Fight?

    Last night, while riding the MTA home, I was pondering some of the most brilliant questions I have ever had. Who do you think would win in a fight? VerizonMan? Or SprintMan? My money is on SprintMan. The trenchcoat is a much tougher jacket choice than the mechanic’s jacket. And monkeys are cool and all…

    Some of you might remember the “Cool Props” series I started this summer. I cracked up this morning when I discovered that two of the windows I took pictures of a few months back are without AC but the props remain. BEFORE: AFTER BEFORE: AFTER: They’re duct taped. Funny. See the rest by clicking here.

    I love how Microsoft is coming out with their new platform, Microsoft Vista, and they’re all excited about the universal search function that allows you to search words within documents as well as documents no matter where you are and what you’re working in. It’s kinda funny they are making a big deal out of…

    Last weekend, Toby Joe and I spent hours trying to figure out a way to record cell phone conversations for a project I am currently working on. We knew we needed a recording device, a cell phone that isn’t dependent entirely on Bluetooth (which is what I have), and a splitter to run one cord…

    A little over a month ago, I watched a bit on The Daily Show where Jon Stewart compared Lake George (the devastation seen in New Orleans) to Bill’s Monica Lewinsky. Not two seconds into the bit, my phone was ringing. I wrote about it. The following day, I tried to get an Anti-Bush T-Shirt through…
