I Let the Music Speak

Monday, January 30th, 2006

I am happy to report that Sandie, David, and baby Dane received the Baby’s First Mix CD I compiled for the lil’ superstar! Boy, was it difficult to find fun/baby/child-themed songs with no explicit lyrics or mentions of drugs and violence. Whew. Er, is this when someone’s going to tell me Jordy is a Communist? [...]

Of All the Things We’ve Made

Monday, January 30th, 2006

If you find yourself near a working television set at 4:30pm today, please tune into MTVs “Made” to see the third episode I helped story edit last season. This particular episode is about Danielle, an overweight teen who sets out to lose sixty pounds over ten weeks. I learned a LOT about nutrition working on [...]

All You’re Givin’ Me Is Talk Talk

Wednesday, January 25th, 2006

A few months ago, a friend of mine — I’ll refer to her as Betty — encountered the age-old dating quandary: Why doesn’t he call? Although Betty is a fabulous person, she couldn’t seem to meet someone that would return her emails/phone calls in a timely fashion after a (seemingly) fun and successful date. After [...]

Chrome Wheeled, Fuel Injected & Steppin’ Out Over the Line

Tuesday, January 24th, 2006

If you’ve spent more than two minutes with me lately, you’ve probably realized that I’m now officially a “Lost” nerd. I’d say about 70% of the words out of my mouth of late have focused on electromagnetivity, dharma, Lugers, and army knives. I’ve not only bought every episode of Season Two on iTunes, I’ve joined [...]

Adventures Close to Home

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

Photos from Melissa’s housewarming party in Hoboken! Melissa and Kim man the bar. Job well done. Melissa and I catch up on some reading. We only read it for the, you know, articles. Liz assembled this montage of yours truly performing my “I’m walking down a non-existant staircase.” Spectacular, I know. Kim keeps it coming. [...]

Sadly Sorta Like a Soap Opera

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

Say hello to my little friend, whose considerate habit of awakening me at the crack of dawn every morning is surpassed only by its caterwaul. And the NY Post, whose eloquent news reporting is surpassed only by its staggeringly extraordinary headlines. I’ve recently become a fan of steamed vegetables. My favorite is steaming broccoli, carrots, [...]

Who Shot the Go Go Dancer?

Wednesday, January 11th, 2006

And finally, the last batch of photos I will post tonight (I hope you have a fast connection). These photographic gems were snapped last week at Andrew’s 25th birthday party at Rififi. Happy Birthday Andrew! Will congratulates the birthday boy. Kim and Jenny: Queens of mad hot 80s dancing. Party monsters.

Gold is the Reason for the Wars We Wage

Wednesday, January 11th, 2006

Photos from Tina and Phil‘s New Year’s Eve party. See ALL of my party photos HERE, and visit Tina and Phil for additional pictures. I presented Tina and Phil with a novelty gas station made entirely of CHOCOLATE. It was a…gas! Bryan and Rui. Jeremy and Daniella. 2 cute + 2 B = 4 real. [...]

Take Me to the River

Wednesday, January 11th, 2006

A few weeks ago, my parents and I enjoyed the acclaimed three-hour Circle Line cruise around Manhattan. I highly, highly recommend this relaxing and educational tour, which focuses on a lot of little-known NYC history. Here are some of the sights. See ALL of the photos HERE. The lovely Brooklyn Bridge. That’s my dad. He [...]

She’s Running Out, She Runs, Runs, Runs, Runs *

Wednesday, January 4th, 2006

I happened upon the horror film Creep tonight in my neighborhood video store’s new release section, and the DVD’s cover — a bloody hand pressed against the fogged window of a London subway car — was intriguing enough for me to give the film a shot. Once I arrived home, DVD in hand, I did [...]
