I Got Cat Class & I Got Cat Style

Monday, May 29th, 2006

Last year I worked a bit on a forthcoming documentary entitled Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos which tracks the rise and fall of the acclaimed soccer team. The other night before An Inconvenient Truth I saw the trailer (check it out HERE!) and MAN! Soccer, Studio 54, Mick […]

New York, You Got Me Dancing

Wednesday, April 5th, 2006

NetFlix sues Blockbuster.
SNAP. Yeah, I said it. Jealous?
On a related note, I had a dream once a long time ago featuring a scrolling marquee of the number 636. I woke up perplexed, then later in the day checked the mail and saw I had a late fee of $6.36 from Blockbuster. That was one of […]

(My) Space Age Love Song

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

One of the things I love about my corner coffee shop, aptly named The Coffee Pot, is that on Sundays I can enjoy my cup o’ joe and find sections of the Times scattered haphazardly about the shop. When I sat down on Sunday, the Style section’s front-page article, “Here I Am Taking My Own […]

I’ve recently become a fan of steamed vegetables. My favorite is steaming broccoli, carrots, caulifower, and […]

Another Girl, Another Planet

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

I just came across a news report about two California teenagers, performing under the name Prussian Blue, who record neo-Nazi pop music, presumably to fulfill their crazy, Svengali mother’s own desires. Have you read about this? The girls are currently in hiding. I can’t imagine why. If you can stomach it, the official […]

Eardrum Buzz

Currently listening: Steve Forbert, Go-Betweens, Echo and the Bunnymen, Frente!
Check out this sweet Subway Tweed photo featured on Flickr. In related news, a woman not-so-stealthily took my photo on the train this morning. How rude. What if I were a member of the Witness Protection Program? Sigh.
In real news, Bob Woodward screws up. TSK.
This “news” […]
