    Let me begin by saying that I’m against the death penalty. I don’t believe that the state has the right to take someone’s life. It’s also not a foolproof method. Time and time again, we have executed innocent people. If you don’t believe me, try picking up a copy of Deadline some time. It’s frightening…

    Years ago, I watched a man named Chad convince his best friend, Matt, to make a deaf woman fall in love with him. The plan was to have her fall head-over-heels and then leave her broken hearted. She did fall in love with Matt. And even though he fell in love with her as well,…

    I haven’t ever had much luck with digital cameras. I either had trouble with the color, the quality of the images (sharpness, etc), or the speed at which the camera was able to capture them. No camera I used seemed to capture the look of film and I grew up using only film. I tried…

    I am trying to give up swearing. I have decided that it sounds awful. (No offense to anyone who swears, I do too.) It really sounds awful especially to those who overhear it. This morning there was a teenage boy on the L Train letting them rip like audible face farts. It was early. He…

    Today, I purchased the Nikon D200. It’s freaking amazing. I have been using a Pentax K1000 for about 17 years. I used a digital Elph for about three and then took a baby step and purchased the Canon Pro1. Finally, I own a real camera. I’m really happy but I’m having a little bit of…

    I just took a gander at the Earth Day booths outside Grand Central. I took some pictures. P.S. If one more person emails me and/or calls me “Missile Fart” in person, I will make sure and live up to said name should I ever be in your company. DO YOU HEAR ME!

    Recently, a few gents who work with Tobyjoe launched a site called Paperless Petition. Basically, it’s a way of opting out of receiving the phonebook and therefore saving the environment one less wasteful product at a time. They launched it just in time for Earth Day. There’s the catch, however. Won’t they run them anyway?…

    My sister-in-law sent me three pictures yesterday. The photos were the considered “rejects” that had recently come back in the proofs sent over by a professional photography studio. I wasn’t so sure they should actually be considered rejects, however. Internet, check this out. (In all honesty, this is the type of thing that has Tobyjoe…

    Tobyjoe and I have added two names to our list of girl names. And I figured I’d keep the Internet up-to-date. If we decide that Winter Boudreaux doesn’t work. We both like Hannah and Enid. But I worry Enid might not go over too well if we’re still living in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

    Last night Tobyjoe and I headed to BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) to see an interview with Jonathan Lethem. The night was fantastic. We ran into Mia and Charles which was a pleasant surprise as Mia had said she wasn’t planning on going. We sat with them and sipped wine (maybe a little too much…
