  • Josephine

    The Volvo ran really well this weekend. We took it to New Jersey on Friday night. The gas mileage is pretty OK. I have two problems with the vehicle. We don’t have air conditioning. Which normally doesn’t matter, but this past weekend the weather was downright brutal. It was so bloody hot. I can’t even…

  • Toby Joe took some Pictures.

    I’ll let him explain the process. There is one HOT image of my contorted face. Oh my. “You make me nervous when you do this.” “You always catch me at really ugly times.” “Come on! Quit it!” TJ’s feet on my father’s boat. (More to come).

  • Hurricane Isabel Arrived Two Years Late

    Yesterday afternoon, Toby and I heard thunder rolling in over the city. I love thunderstorms. One of the reasons I wasn’t able to embrace the West coast – more specifically, San Francisco – was due to its predictable weather. There is nothing more intriguing that the schizophrenic weather of the Northeast. Growing up with it,…

  • Actually, I’m Really Asking

    Why would it be that iced coffee cost 88 cents more than regular, hot coffee? I just had a discussion with a cashier regarding my having purchased iced coffee and she charging me more for it. Iced is more? 88 cents more? That’s entirely arbitrary. That’s the way we do it here. So what you’re…

  • What We Don’t Know Might Hurt Us.

    Yesterday, the New York Times reported that the New York State Health Department has urged that restaurants stop serving foods containing trans fats known as chemically modified ingredients that significantly increase the risk of heart disease. Already, the mere request has trigged opposition. A friend told me that it’s none of the governments business what…

  • Look What Anna’s Ass Sent Me

    I pulled this out of the comments from the first post, but it really needs its own thread. For those of us ladies who have either had or been the receiver of a girl crush, I give you this article. It’s good stuff. But it fails to mention the girls who turn it into pure…

  • A Day In Music

    Late Saturday night, a friend of mine is playing at the Mercury Lounge. They call themselves Channels. You might recognize the one fella, that’s Jay Robbins of Jawbox fame. Darren (the guy on the right) and I go way back. We knew each other back in State College, Pennsylvania. Toby and I are heading to…

  • Oh Bloody Hell

    I really really really really really need to stop listening to the Mountain Goats song called This Year. I’m going to make it through this phase if it kills me. I’m going to make it through this phase if it kills me. Someone give me another song this good and I might kick it quicker.…

  • Walking the Car.

    The other day, after meeting Ethan to do the ol’ car switcheroo, I took it for a walk. We met in Greenpoint where he changed the plates and I removed the registrations sticker. I added mine. He took his tools, blankets, and paperwork from the inside. I was getting a car. What’s more, an old…

  • Clap Your Hands Say Mihow!

    Today, I was on the L Train grooving out. Quite literally, actually. I really was dancing at the time, but only the upper part of my body was getting down as the bottom half had to act as anchor to keep from falling. I was grooving out to Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. (Which, for…
