My Appointment at the Genius Bar.
Tobyjoe and I purchased a computer for my dad recently. I use the word “purchased” but what I really mean we took his credit card number, clicked a few buttons, and had it shipped to our house. Tobyjoe spends the majority of his day talking to computers. He tells them what to do, how to…

Brooklyn Nap Ends In Horror.
Yesterday I had a doctor’s appointment on the Upper West Side. Since I was basically heading to a different state, I left the house at around 12:30 in order to get there in time. My appointment was long. It lasted nearly 2 and a half hours. They drew blood, ran some tests, told me I…

To Gothamist, With Love.
I discovered Gothamist about a year ago. I had heard about it before, but I never really checked it out. And discovering this particular Web site was different. I actually remember doing it. I had become totally annoyed with blogging, and completely frustrated with blogs in general. I was in search of a decent, non-NYT,…

Snip Snip!
A friend of mine had a baby boy last week. Nico wrote me yesterday to tell me the news. I couldn’t be happier for them. After Nico forwarded me the email, we got to talking and the whole circumcision thing came up. I must say, the whole “to snip or not to snip” question hadn’t…

On Boston, Beds, Pools, and Dancing.

Barbarian Group Photo Booth.
Rick and Keith set up a photo booth at the Barbarian Group Holiday party on Thursday night. Basically, you walk in; press a button and a picture is taken. It’s stored on a hard drive and a little while later it shows up on a huge screen on stage. It was quite fun to watch.…

Heavenly Boston Cream Pie
Tobyjoe and I are heading up to Boston later today. Tomorrow is the annual Barbarian Group holiday party so we decided to go up a day early. We’re staying at a hotel that happens to have the infamous Heavenly Bed. That’s right, Internet. Tonight, I’ll finally get to take this thing for a test drive.…

Some Contemplate Suicide When They have a Migraine. Me? I Suffer With Style.
The other day while suffering through the final stages of the most traumatic 12-hour migraine, I flipped off a great movie to watch the Style Network. The show that was on at the time was called Style Original Special, Tom and Katie’s Wedding I loathe Tom Cruise. I don’t dislike him in that I’m-secretly-obsessed-with-him kind…

Roast the Bean
Tobyjoe turns 29 today. He’s a wee lad. This is a picture of him when he was a really wee lad. He’s sitting with his sis. Here is another one. He didn’t even dye his hair. Whose hair does this so quickly? Bean’s hair, that’s whose. This is the Beanager: This was taken by a…
