    Last night, after dinner at the falafel joint on Bedford Avenue, a drink with Gerry (on a patio), a brief affair with Tasti D-Lite, Toby Joe and I headed home to flip through our 1000+ channels. Time Warner has been good to us. We should probably learn how to spend more time with him instead…

    I find it entirely amusing that this past weekend kids were waking up with Harry Potter hangovers because they couldn’t put the book down. It’s an absolute frenzy and everyone seems to be infected. Well, everyone but Pope and me. I tried to read one once while on vacation. I’m not even sure which book.…

    I got off the L Train at Bedford Avenue in hopes of sneaking a little Tasti D-lite softserve before meeting up with Toby Joe. There were grumpy people everywhere due to New York’s newfound wave with heat and humidity. And all I could think about was ice cream. Earlier, I had put half of what…

    Let’s talk about the camp created to take the homosexual out of the homosexual. The place is called The Refuge. The New York Times wrote about it on Sunday. I had no idea this type of camp existed. Similarly, there is another called Love and Action. I wonder if they have a camp that takes…

    There are new ads up in Grand Central. In May they were home to Pepsi Oneify advertisements. In July, HSBC moved in. (Incidentally, I like the HSBC ads especially if they feature actual people from the neighborhoods they mention in New York City. They are friendly, eye-catching advertisements and I find I am drawn to…

    London ended up getting the 2012 Olympics. While the idea of hosting them in New York City sounded kinda cool, I know that come the time, it’d become an absolute nightmare. So congratulations, London. ;] Maybe we’ll all come to you.

    Since I wrote so much yesterday, today will be a day of images. (You may click on these bitches to enlarge them.) Yesterday, when I finally left the office, I took pictures of the drummers in Grand Central. (I also took a video, which can be seen at the bottom of this post.) Next time…

    From CNN: Survey: Northeast has dumbest drivers. The state of Rhode Island leads the nation in driver cluelessness, according to the survey. The average test score there was 77, just eight points above a failing grade. Those in neighboring Massachussets were second worst and New Jersey, third worst. Yay Rhode Island! Go New Jersey!! New…

    My rabid fear of flying brings out some of the weirdest ideas and spoken word. I’ve asked Toby Joe what clouds are, how a plane works, whether the wings are attached and if they can handle being hit with a 90-degree wind at 37 thousand feet. It’s almost as if when I’m afraid, I become…
