Go Weinerschitznel!
In just 25 small minutes, we’re going to hit the local pub and root for Germany. With England out and the USA a fading memory, I need a new team to get behind. I have chosen Germany. Why have I decided to root for Germany? Sure, they have no Crouch but that’s OK. There can…

Are You Cool All the Time?
For those of you who live in hot areas but lack central air, I have a question: do you leave your AC on all the time? Do you turn it off during the day? If you do, do you have pets? Does it cost you a fortune? I want to know everything about your AC…

You mark that frame an 8, and you're entering a world of pain.
I left at noon yesterday for a companywide retreat to Bowlmor lanes at Union Square. I am positively awful bowler. The most annoying part of the day was when an entire, freshly manicured thumbnail broke off into the bowling ball. The gutter ball that came directly following said tragic event was well expected. Now, I…

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Even if Enland doesn’t win The World Cup, at least they will hold this title. Like I needed another reason to love and admire the Brits. (Photo taken at Nevada Smith’s right after England beat Ecuador.) What’s your beer of choice? Lately, I have been enjoying Paulaner Hefeweizen or any cool, cloudy wheat beer. But…

I'm Dreaming of a White July 4th.
I work on 42nd Street and Madison. I have worked here for a little over a year. I’m not crazy about Midtown. Actually, I really can’t stand Midtown. The people are grumpier, yet they seem to be wealthier. It’s weird, Midtown. And even the bodegas, delis, and chain restaurants take note of the higher income…

Who knew he didn't stop at cheeseburgers and girly drinks?
Today I discovered that Jimmy Buffet has a song called Dickhead When he’s out drivin’ he’s a Dickhead in his car. When he’s out drinkin’ he’s a Dickhead in the bar. When he’s at a party he’s a Dickhead drinkin’ beer. He’s got to be the winner of “Dickhead Of The Year”.

Save Us All. Quit Smoking.
“Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona declared today that the evidence is now ‘indisputable’ that secondhand smoke is an ‘alarming’ public health hazard, causing tens of thousands of premature deaths from heart disease and cancer among nonsmokers each year.” Surgeon General Warns of Secondhand Smoke “There is no safe level of secondhand smoke, and even brief…

I'm Vagina Man's wife. Fear me.
Tobyjoe and I headed to Nevada Smiths on Sunday to watch the England vs. Ecuador game. At 9 AM the upstairs bar was already full so we headed downstairs where there was more room. Soon, the downstairs was packed as well. We stood there for about an hour and a half watching people trickle in…

What the Hell Happened?
I went to the gym to watch the second half of the Italy/Australia football game. (I promise you, I won’t talk about soccer forever but for now I am really, really into it and it makes me happy.) I ran for 45 minutes and hopped off to watch the last 3 on the floor. At…
