Thank you, Easter Bunny
On Saturday night, Toby and I met up with some folks we’ve known for years. A friend of ours, Jessica, was visiting from Seattle. Which basically just means an excellent reason to go out and spend cash. And it was well worth it, too. But I have to say, I was so disappointed that neither…

Leggs Luther
Leggs Luthor of the Brooklyn Bombshells wrote me today letting me know the NYC’s only All-Girl Roller Derby Season Opener is on April 1st. For those of you in or around the NYC area, we should totally go and watch her kick some ass. Yes. Here is the information: April 1st – doors open 8pm,…

More pictures
The roll of film posted below was shot as a test roll. I needed to make sure my camera still worked as the last roll of color film I had developed had some weird gradient coming in off the side of each print. (As seen in the image below.) Toby insisted that I shoot a…

Some Pictures
Here are some images I took this weekend while I was walking home from work on Saturday. It was just before nightfall and the light was nice. I like dusk sometimes. (Click thumbnails to enlarge.) Conflicted. Meeker and Lorimer under the BQE. Again. Spattish men and twigs. An old abandoned gas station hut. A couple…

What comes around, got around.
I work at a bar in Brooklyn. Its decor is made up of a lot of pictures of naked ladies. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily pornographic in nature (though, I guess that depends on our definition of pornographic). Its Russ Meyer meets Pulp Fiction meets Betty Boop meets a hundred girls with herstorys. (Put this…

When did you come out of the closet?
(Please note: The above title was supposed to be “When did you come out of the blog closet” but I am so irritated with the word “blog” and how it sounds, I have decided to stop using it.) I get a lot of email from folks who take part in SPD asking me to change…

CCLB
The first time I ever heard of the band Soundgarden, I was 15 and dating a boy who was way too old for me. He was sort of a moron. But I only figured that out in retrospect. Skinny 15 year old girls aren’t the sharpest breed. He used to play me music. And while…

P.S.
Next week’s version of Self-Portrait Day will fall on a Thursday. And unless something remarkable happens, that day will remain on a Thursday. The reason is, is because yours truly picked up a Tuesday night bartending/ waitressing shift here in good old Williamsburg, Brooklyn. That’s right, I’m designer by day, waitress/bartender by night. And while…

Vera Drake
On Saturday, after checking out The Gates and having brunch at <a href="http://thegreydog.com/" target="blank”>The Grey Dog, we decided to see Vera Drake at the Second Avenue movie theater in Manhattan. I have always been a fan of Mike Leigh movies. As a matter of fact, for a long time during college the movie <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0107653/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnxteD0yMHxzZz0xfGxtPTIwMHx0dD1vbnxmYj11fHBuPTB8cT1OYWtlZHxodG1sPTF8bm09b24;fc=1;ft=6;fm=1”…

Devine, part 2
A week ago I wrote about a show I went to at South Paw in Brooklyn. There, Kevin Devine played an acoustic set. He played songs from hew new C.D. (due to hit stores in May) as well as some older songs. At times it was just him, at times Margaret White joined him, and…
