  • Let Your Fingers Do the Clicking.

    Recently, a few gents who work with Tobyjoe launched a site called Paperless Petition. Basically, it’s a way of opting out of receiving the phonebook and therefore saving the environment one less wasteful product at a time. They launched it just in time for Earth Day. There’s the catch, however. Won’t they run them anyway?…

  • Eat Me Bailey!

    Last night Tobyjoe and I headed to BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) to see an interview with Jonathan Lethem. The night was fantastic. We ran into Mia and Charles which was a pleasant surprise as Mia had said she wasn’t planning on going. We sat with them and sipped wine (maybe a little too much…

  • Molly Molly Out-Come-Free!

    I have to be honest about something, while I love living in this city, there are days that it’s an absolute drag. A New Yorker can witness some of the most inhumane acts from one day to the next; sometimes it’s hard to keep a positive and kind outlook toward my fellow neighbors. I’ve seen…

  • I Can Smell Hype Like a Fart in a Car.

    Now that we have a car that we can (almost) actually use, Tobyjoe and I have started noticing and discussing gas prices. We’ve decided that using up an entire tank of gas just to move the car from one side of the street to another is a sure sign you’ve become a New Yorker. Although,…

  • Conspiracy Theories. Why Do We Love Them So?

    I’m listening an interview on the radio right now about conspiracies surrounding 9/11. Today, Maddow interviewed Mark Jacobson of New York Magazine who recently wrote an article on a new generation of conspiracy theorists. I’ve always been a little blown away by the number of people who believe that the administration KNEW about the attacks…

  • Friends. How Many Of Us Have Them?

    Yes, I totally just quoted a Whodini song. Yesterday, was a really, really rough day for me. My head was all over the place. I wasn’t very pleasant to be around. I certainly wasn’t very pleasant to know. It sucked. I sucked. I should bury my head in the sand instead of attempting the social…

  • Proof

    This morning, the L Train was a complete nightmare. But today, something really cool happened. I was standing on the platform waiting for the train, knowing full well I would have to wait for at least one to go by before getting on, when someone came up to me. “Hey, did you once work at…

  • Saint Patrick’s Day and New York City

    It’s not even 10 AM and I swear that all of New York’s tourists are already drunk. It’s a complete mess out there. The three blocks I walk from Grand Central Station to Madison and 45th are filled with green faces, stickered pant legs, green top hats, green umbrellas, green everything. It’s insane. The parade…

  • Mr. (i give you the) Finger

    Go over here and get pissed. (Oh my god, I could totally work for the New York Post. The headline? The hell?)

  • Link Love

    It’s Sunday and I feel like sharing. First, I’d like to direct you to this woman. She’s not only a wonderful photographer she’s also a really kind person. I just found out that Rion and her husband are moving to Paris. New York City will miss her greatly. My little brother got a new digital…
