    It’s not every day a client gives you artwork like this: and tells you to run with it. I’m designing a valentine’s day invitation advertising a romantic meal for two for a local bar/restaurant here in Brooklyn. The owner is going to be serving erotic food and sexy deserts. It should be a pretty cool…

    Last night, I ventured out to see Kevin Devine at South Paw in Park Slope. While I was watching him play, after having just consumed a meal made up entirely of sushi and chasing that with a glass of dry white wine, I imagined writing something spectacular about his music and the show. I imagined…

    I’m sure by now everyone has heard and/or read about Apple’s latest invention.. But holy crap are they ever miniature! And holy crap are they ever cheap. So much for the PC world complaining about the price. Now, get out there and convert! (They will even work with your existing monitor). Over dinner last night,…

    I had a not so original idea this morning: Take a picture of what you see out back every day for one month. I’m not sure if I’ll follow through with this for two reasons. One, I’m lazy. And two, it’s been done before (and flawlessly) by so many other (more interesting) people. I think…

    We live near the BQE (Brooklyn, Queens Expressway.) It’s literally about three or four houses down—houses that are butted up right next to one another. I can see it from the front of the apartment as well as the back. During the day and often times at night, the house shakes with the passing of…

  • Myself, a can of tuna, and three kitty cats.

    Last night I was opening a can of tuna when I realized it was filled with oil. Annoyed with myself, I thought, “You ALWAYS check this kind of thing, Michele. What the hell?” I turned to check on the other can of tuna I purchased at the same time. That tuna was submerged in water.…

    At a rest stop in Texas, Toby and I pulled over to use the bathroom and buy some bottled water. Driving through the chimney top of Texas is like driving on a heavily-policed piece of brown cardboard. We had driven through Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, California, Arizona,…

    Currently, I work in Chelsea on 7th Avenue and 19th street. I hop on the L at Graham Avenue (the closest L stop to our house. It’s about a 7 block walk). I take the L to the 6th Avenue and walk up to 19th from there. This takes anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes.…

    Last week (Saturday morning to be exact), we moved into a new one bedroom apartment in Greenpoint/Williamsburg. We love the place. It’s pretty big. There’s a lot of light (except for that middle room, but nothing a few candles can’t cure). There’s a laundry machine (but no dryer). There’s a view of Manhattan and it’s…

    Nothing major has changed in Brooklyn. And if it had changed, it’s now changed back. I know how folks like to repeat the past. Maybe it’s just that Toby and I have changed too much. After all, most folks don’t completely rewrite their lives in two years. But in a city the size of New…
