Overheard in New York
Am I the only person who finds Overheard In New York kinda off-color at times? This was taken directly from their “Totally Awesome Quotes” section: Title: Go Back to Israel! Jewess: That’s the third time you mentioned Jews. What’s wrong with Jews? Goy: They are demanding, confrontational, and have a hard time telling the truth.…

A Slice of Heaven.
Last night, I visited the Barnes and Noble on 46th street to pick up a few things for the project we’re currently working on. I also wanted to pick up a new book for myself. I ended up getting The Good Life by Jay Mcinerney. Judging by its cover, you might figure out what it’s…

The Mainstream Media: A Fountain of Misinformation
On Tuesday night, those of us watching the State of the Union heard breaking news about Cindy Sheehan being arrested for (and I quote) “unveiling a banner” while seated in chambers. Everyone heard that. That’s what was reported. Two other people were arrested as well. But I didn’t hear about that until a day later.…

Cop Shoot Cop. (Not the band, honky.)
An off-duty, rookie cop walks into a White Castle. He is intoxicated. It’s 4 in the morning. He’s carrying a gun and isn’t supposed to. That’s rule number one. He broke it. He orders his meal. While in line something happens. Words are exchanged. Since it’s 4 in the morning, the witnesses have varying accounts…

We’re Starting a “Club”. Everyone is Invited.
Tobyjoe and I got to talking last night. We have an idea I think is absolutely fabulous and absolutely easy. Should it work it will prove satisfying for everyone involved. Here’s the deal: The first 5 people to send me their addresses via email (people I DON’T regularly see, please. There’s a reason. It’s not…

The Feast of Fiction
It’s been one of those weeks where I am second-guessing everything I say or do, talk about, eat, wear, think, or forget. Plus, I’m tired. I’m currently reading Charles Baxter, The Feast of Love. Last night, I lay in bed reading. Toby was at the computer. I was at the part where Chloé’s life changes…

The State of The Union: Real Time.
(If we don’t get too distracted as I am really naked, too.) 7:30 PM: Call Missy to see if she knows of a public place to watch the SOU. 7:35 PM: Stop in Mugs Ale House. Bartender laughs at my inquiry about whether or not it will be shown. 7:50 PM: Stop by Matchless. Woman…

Yeah, About This James Frey Guy…
Over the weekend, no matter what form of media we came in contact with, no matter what radio station, TV station, magazine or newspaper we held, everything was about James Frey, Oprah and the fact that he wrote a book and apparently lied through a lot of it. Air America’s Satellite Sisters interviewed Bill of…

Shames Frey
This morning CNN asked “What do you think?” about the whole James Frey scandal. I figured, what the hell? It’s my birthday, I’m going to send them an email. To Whom it May Concern: I’m more disturbed with the fact that the American people are worked up over this than with the fact that the…

Happy Birthday to me! (Thanks to Nico for sending me the song. I danced, oh yes. I danced.)
