I’ll Trade You My Rove For Your Warner.
Recently, Bush was interviewed by a German newspaper. He was asked what his best moment was in the five years of his presidency. Bush answered: “I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5-pound perch in my lake,” The worst, he said, was September 11th. It’s a little weird for…

Who’s Magic Now, Bitch?
My first love was George Burns. I was no more than 6. There was a bit of an age difference and so I decided that it was time to find a new crush. And while my brother and I used to sit on padded bar stools in our living room and crank up the hit…

Turn and Face the Strange
We’re in the process of moving (and changing) mihow.com. You may have noticed. During the transition, the last two days are no longer with us (awwww). Sometimes, that happens. (They still exist, so if you would like to see them for whatever reason, let me know.) Anyway, if there is anything buggy or weird about…

R.I.P.
As of this afternoon, our beloved sky-bridges have been destroyed. For those who aren’t from Brooklyn, or who haven’t ever even been here before, the waterfront has been featured in numerous films throughout the years. Its architecture looks like something out of a train set. Its buildings have served as inspiration for many, many artists…

The Sopranos Are The New Kennedys
Yesterday, James Gandolfini was hit by a taxi while out riding his Vespa. He’s OK but the Vespa needs a little work. Over the weekend, John Ventimiglia was arrested for driving drunk and cocaine possession. Here I am thinking, “Oh! So that’s why he’s been acting like an ass lately!” (It’s a TV show, Michele.)…

The N/R Train.
I’m smitten with my camera. That’s probably pretty obvious. Yesterday, I spent a few minutes actually contemplating purchasing a police scanner. And then it occurred to me that I prefer taking pictures of people and happy times more so than death and destruction. Unfortunately, it’s death and destruction that viewers and publishers generally gawk at.…

The People Of Greenpoint.
Yesterday, I walked down to the waterfront to take some pictures and check things out. When I got there, I found I was more intrigued with the people than I was with what actually took place earlier in the day. (Captions are above each picture. Click the thumbnail to enlarge each image.) A guy from…

It Was More Like a Scorch.
How do you feel about the speech Stephen Colbert gave Bush the other night? Did you find it funny? Offensive? I’m curious to hear people’s reactions. If you haven’t seen it, you may do so here. It’s entirely worth it. (The last 10 minutes were kind of lame, in my opinion.)

Greenpoint Fire
There’s a fire on West Street. I called Anna to ask her where, exactly, it was. She lives over that way. It might be the skate spot known as The Bowl. It’s called the Greenpoint Market Terminal and there are two buildings on fire. It’s also my most favorite section of Brooklyn. This is the…
