    I just got back from the DMV where I got my New York license plates and registration completed for my 1975 Volvo. At first, the mission seemed impossible. I got there at around 8 AM and the line was already around the corner and half way down 34th Street. Like this: Only I didn’t realize…

    Toby called earlier to tell me that The Morning News picked up my Cool Props series. I will have more to show this weekend. I’m still looking for the Bible and Harry Potter. Apparently, I get a free dinner if I find a Harry Potter Cool Prop.

    It isn’t every day you hear Gwyneth Paltrow utter the phrase, “Can you say ‘Fuckstick’ a little louder?” But that happened today. I got up at 5 AM in order to make it to the set by 6:30 AM. I wore a brown shirt and a skirt and some brown shoes to match. I wore…

    I am listening to an interview on NPR with Clinton. It’s really quite good. And I have to say, I really miss the guy. He’s bright. He speaks well. I miss him. Click here to hear it.

    We came up with a heavy screening process after 9/11 to thwart the possibility of another terrorist attack. Now, the Bush Administration is talking about giving “Frequent Flyer” passes to travelers who are constantly flying. I guess bitching pays off. So my question is this; won’t it be possible for a terrorist to get a…

    Does the groom-to-be have sex (oral or whatever) while at their bachelor party? I think I have asked this question before. I can’t remember. I’m curious nonetheless. Is that the idea? I think brides-to-be just get shitfaced and puke. They might end up naked and covered in grass stains, but other than that, I don’t…

    There is a show called Godless America on This American Life. If you haven’t heard it, check it out. It’s a really great show. (I’m particularly fond of Julia Sweeney’s story.)

    Tomorrow morning I’m getting up at 5 AM and heading into the city. Sometime yesterday, Toby wrote me to see if I wanted to be an extra in a movie. His boss’s wife is a producer and he was trying to find young, 30-something people to fill a few spots. Toby told him yes. And…

    I always found the Atkin’s Diet to be dangerous. It’s nice to see I am not alone. Who, in their right mind, suggests eating very few (if any) fruits and vegetables?

  • NPR — RIGHT NOW

    NPR is airing a show right now about independent journalists/blogs. There is a discussion taking place about validity, fact-checking, etc. And something occurred to me. It’s easy to read some blogs and, at the very least, not totally throw it away as a pack of lies when you’ve become so cynical regarding “real” journalists and…
