Heather and Derek, The Papa, Snakes on a Babe, and Bonnie Prince Billy.
Tobyjoe and I met up with Heather and Derek yesterday for brunch at the Coffee Shop on Union Square. What was supposed to be just a brunch ended up with a visit to the Beard Papa, the Leica gallery, and a ride on both the Cyclone and the Wonder Wheel at Coney Island. Coney Island…

Ball Joints, Marathons, Blogs, and Travel
It’s hot and there’s a lot going on. And I’m sorry for the lack of updates as of late. We’ve been running around, doing things, taking care of business. Plus, there was the vacation and all. Plus, I’ve been Interneted out as of late. I think I’m going through a phase. It’s either that, or…

Downtime
Hey there, people of the fine Internet, Tobyjoe and I had a discussion. We’re going away for a while. Soon, we’ll be in a not so secret, remote location without the Internet and we’ve decided to take this site down while we’re away and give it a proper rest. (Goodness knows, I could use it…

Heat Wave
It’s a hundred degrees in New York City and people are grumpy. Sweat dotted the shirts of most commuters. New York City’s bowels are rearing their heads. A filmy, visible stench wafted up Broadway on squiggly cartoon lines. Only this smell isn’t meant to be funny. I walked home. I walked the same route I…

Julianne Puts the Moore in Crazy.
We watched Freedomland last night. It’s another movie where Julianne Moore loses her mind and acts like a hysterical female. As I watched this last night, it occurred to me, yet again, that no other actress pulls off the crazy quite as well as Julianne Moore. Her plethora of crazy scenes immediately came flooding back…

Yesterday
Usually when I sense something bad is about to happen it doesn’t. Yesterday, I left the house and immediately sensed that the things taking place around me were off (or on, depending on how you look at it). There had been a car wreck. It took place not minutes before I left the apartment. I…

Bye Bye World Cup.
Well, the World Cup has come to an end. I actually started crying into my New York Times Sports Section this morning. As many already know, I have grown absolutely obsessed with football over the past month. I can’t even put words behind how fantastic it’s been. I take a great long sigh seeing this…

My Luck With Cell Phones Might Not Be As Bad As I Thought.
For kicks, I plugged in my black Razr this morning. You know, the one I washed not three months ago. It’s without a SIM card because the one I do have is currently sitting in the pink Razr I lost on Friday. But wouldn’t you know, the phone is working. I’m not sure what to…

Today's News: The Good. The Bad.
I have good news and bad news. I’ll start with the positive. The woman from the New York Athletic Club wrote me back about the soccer league. She was super kind and reassuring. I’m going to actually play on Wednesday and am giddy with excitment but I do need to buy a pair of shoes…

Someone Explain This To Me.
When I first saw this article over on Gothamist, I started to believe in God. And then I read it. “A TA spokesman couldn’t say when service would be boosted. It will take at least several months – and at least $320,000 in signal-related work – before the older cars can operate on the rails…
