    I am working on a new series of photographs. I have named it “Cool Props”. I have noticed that there are an alarmingly large number of people who instead of using wood (as I am told you’re supposed to) to level their air-conditioner units, they’re using books. And I find some of the choices comical.…

    This weekend, Toby Joe and I decided to have a “feel-good” weekend in film. We watched Tarnation and The Machinist, and Hotel Rwanda, three of the most depressing movies I have seen in quite some time. The Machinist was OK. It pulled out a few film cliches but Christian Bale did an excellent job, probably…

    It’s not even 11 AM and my armpits are already starting to saute the onions. I even wore Old Spice for Men after someone told me to buy it. And it was working for a while. Now, it’s not. Maybe I didn’t put enough on. But surely by 6 PM, I’ll be offensive. No one…

    Today, the MTA begins to randomly search through bags. Last night, while eating at a new restaraunt in Greenpoint called, Queen’s Hideout we briefly discussed our new situation and I think I can speak for everyone at the table and say no one cares. We understand. I’m curious to hear what others think, however. Do…

    We are SERIOUSLY considering buying one of these. Only a black one. And a five speed. Are we just suckers for all things cute and small? Does it come with Firewire?

    How much do I want to get a hold of the previous version now? Someone should buy it for me. (More here.) What’s the big deal? It’s just two clothed people having sex. The company who makes the game was forced to reevaluate projected sales after WalMart and Target announced they would discontinue selling the…

    Last night, after dinner at the falafel joint on Bedford Avenue, a drink with Gerry (on a patio), a brief affair with Tasti D-Lite, Toby Joe and I headed home to flip through our 1000+ channels. Time Warner has been good to us. We should probably learn how to spend more time with him instead…

    When Toby and I got engaged, we had the hardest time shopping for a ring. For starters, we wanted a blood-free diamond, free of Sierra Leone. And considering the majority of America’s diamonds come from there, we were assuming we’d need to find something other than a diamond. So I set my sights on gems…
