As a result of having collapsed into bed at the unthinkably-early time of 9:45PM last night - which was in turn due to the fact that I had spent the entire weekend reacquiring hours of rest that were lost between Thursday and Friday, thus wrecking my already-tenuous sleep schedule - I found myself, somewhat predictably, […]
There are certain times when you can sit in the park and look out at its cracked paved swaths and feel that your world is teetering on the edge of chaos, bleeding into a million lives.
On the surface things crawl with motion: roiling with color and chatter, the skaters, the God-shouters, the baby-pushing mommas cross […]
Good morning Friday! I am sleepy.
Last night was a night of discovery for me. I discovered that it takes little else other than standing around at a bar, in a crowd comprised almost exclusively of the opposite sex, and looking small, cute and blonde in order for one to be bought a drink.
I discovered that […]
After months of what has become an increasingly evident behavioral pattern, it has become clear to me that I may have just a teensy bit of an obsession with the New York City housing market.
I don’t know quite what it’s about, really - I mean, it’s not as if I have the money to invest […]
Though I am kind of swamped at work (my mad Photoshop skillz are always in demand these days, whut whut) and have had little time to update while at home, as I have been taking mad crazy Simonson classes with this mad crazy Cuban guy (well, okay it was just last night, but I forsee […]
It has recently been pointed out to me (by a coworker of mine who has probably overheard me complaining about this muscle I recently pulled in my side) that I “seem to enjoy pain.” Really? Do tell.
“First it’s you in the summer with all this sweaty yoga, you come in and your neck hurts and […]
There was a time when the venerable Urban Outfitters was like a beacon of hope in the impenetrable fog of the fashion world.
Then, they fell into suckitude. And they fell HARD.
When I first was introduced to their almost unreachable realm of coolness, back in oh, 2001 or so, they had a hot, slightly gothy, slightly […]
Contrary to popular belief, I do a number of things at my job in addition to messing around on the Internet and writing strange, pseudo-allegorical fiction - most of them are too uninteresting to write about here (oh if I’d only had this blog at my LAST job as an immigration law paralegal - THEN […]
It should be unsurprising to those used to the hectic chatter of the New York City real estate press (that is to say the number of blogs and papers devoted to, among other things, hyping the Next Big Neighborhood - a title which is re-conferred with such unerring regularity you’d think they’d run out of […]
I must offer up a trite and utterly unexciting excuse for my prolonged absence from this place: I have a cold. Or rather, a stomach virus/inner ear thing/cold, which came upon me the day after New Year’s, presumably as a result of my overindulgence in alcohol and bar-hopping (which, if this is the worst of […]
