(I wrote this just now, because I was sleepy, and feeling tousled. And I lack my morning coffee. I suppose it ended up being a good thing. NB: the girl is not me - I make no claims as to my own physical appearance, attractive or otherwise. Seriously, the girl in my head had black […]
Up until recently, my coworkers in the immediate vicinity have been almost exclusively female - making my workplace resemble something of a bizarrely grown-up dorm room, complete with sudden bursts of giggling and the faint aroma of Demeter perfume. But a few weeks ago, this happy estrogen-filled atmosphere was shattered by the arrival of the […]
So I managed to sustain my first dance-related injury (whut whut) - I feel so hardcore man. Erm…I wish I could say it resulted from some incredibly complicated and tremendously impressive maneuver but, unfortunately, all I really ended up doing was rolling over onto the outside of my right foot (how is that possible again?) […]
The New York Times has apparently uncovered the truth behind something I have known for years: my participation in my high school’s marching band during the halcyon days of my youth has irrevocably scarred me for life. Finally, I now have an explanation for why my fellow white-gloved musicians always seemed Categorically Undateable: they were […]
This morning I woke up and sat up in bed, and there was a large grey tabby cat staring at me from the window across the way. Like a big Bubba cat, of Godfather-ish proportions. It made me laugh.
The weather is cool now and HALLELUJAH FINALLY I get to wear all my nice fuzzy longsleeve […]
I’m not normally very bitchy - no really. However, in light of yesterday’s hip hop class at Broadway Dance Center I feel compelled to make a few remarks on the subject of one participant in particular. Namely you there, Large Girl with the Overplucked Eyebrows and Prominent Sheepshead Bay Accent. Please listen up, as I […]
Now that I find myself most conveniently located across the street (basically) from Union Square, I am often inspired to forgo the more reasonably priced Food Emporium - my longtime one stop shop for cheap beer and tasty rotisserie chicken - in favor of the new everyone-loves-to-hate-it Whole Foods. The decision tends to inspire in […]
A couple of weeks ago I started getting an inordinate number of calls from various 718 numbers. As this was shortly after I had posted a desperate Craigslist roommate ad which, stupidly, included my cell phone number, I ignored them just like I ignored every single other unrecognizable number. Since at that point I was […]
I get the feeling this is going to be a recurring theme…I mean, I guess it might be sort of a given that, after Apartment #1 in the Darkest Heart of Ghettofied Brooklyn, and Apartment #2 in the Easternmost Subwayless End of Aging Yuppieland, my current place would be something of an improvement. Yeah, it […]
So I’ve been experimenting with not sleeping - or, rather, I’m not preventing myself from sleeping, I’m just filling up the most of the 24 hours of the day as I possibly can with constant activity. It’s interesting, though the jury’s still out on how well it’s really working - I am seriously so out […]
