A Waiting Quarter
When I was growing up, one of my most favorite beach “casino” games was the one with all the quarters. Seeing all those shiny coins waiting to drop off that ninety-degree angle and fall with a clink into the metal cup before me was too much for me to avoid. I would beg my parents…

We Gonna Have a Real Good Time Last Night.
Last night, I met Missy at Von for a few beers. And then we went to Bontanica and had a few more beers. There, we were joined by Toby and a coworker of his as well as my brother, Ryan. We also ran into an old friend, Jimmy but he left right away because he…

Flickr
Last week (and today) I uploaded a bunch of new images to my flickr account. Go on over and have a look. Some of them are from the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and the Cherry Blossom Festival.

Cellular Nightmare
This weekend, Toby Joe and I finally changed our numbers from San Francisco to New York City. We walked into a store on 5th and 14th, which sported a HUGE sign that proudly read: T-Mobile Authorized Seller. (Yeah.) For the past 9 months, Toby Joe has been using a phone he dropped down 6 flights…

Oops
This morning, I got on the 4 train going in the wrong direction. This wouldn’t have been a problem on any other train, but the 4 train is an express train and so I ended up at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge instead of at Grand Central Station. Mistake and all, it still only…

On Friday night, right after I spent the day up at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in Mid-town, I met Lindsay, Jon and Toby for sushi. After we finished eating, Jon headed home and the rest of us headed to the Bronx to see the first Gotham Girls Roller Derby bout between the Manhattan Mayhem and the…

Pictures
Here are some of the images I developed last night. This roll wasn’t very exciting. Ah well. SANDWICHES! A pullout couch on the side of the road. Meeker Avenue, Brooklyn. Our view of lower Manhattan from the fire escape. Upper Manhattan. My sweet mother. :] My taller than me little brother.

Heroin
Yesterday, I attended an all-staff meeting at the bar. My boss (we’ll call her Lucy) arranged it so that we could get any problems and/or concerns out as well as tell her what she needs to purchase to make our jobs easier. I gave my two cents and so did everyone else. Lucy mentioned that…

Updates on Random
I finally broke down and did what every other Internet person is doing; I added Google ads to mihow.com. I feel like such a hooch. Let me know if anything looks weird. I worked at the bar last night and slung booze to Williamsburg hipsters, my husband and his friends. And I’m tired today because…
