Catching Up

For the past couple of months, I’ve been on a feverish pace to catch up with the rest of the world. It’s like when you were in middle school and you missed Saturday Night Live. Monday morning, you were screwed! I think there’s a certain amount of pop culture that are on the required reading [...]

Bloomie To Ruin City Again

So as you may know, Bloomberg got re-elected today. Which steams me pretty good. I voted for him last time but not this time. The thing that probably bothers me most about him is he tries to sneak things in on you. And before you know it, it’s too late to do anything about it. [...]

Call Me A Cab

I just saw this on Gothamist. It’s great! It’s the blog of a cab driver. She’s female which is unusual too. She settles an oft-wondered question too. How much to tip a cab driver? She says it should be like you are in a restaurant. 20%. I find a lot of people at work tip [...]

Energy Hogs and Breaking Up Without A Word

Two things. First is, I was reading Rolling Stone and there was a mention of this silly game that the Department of Energy had put on their website. It’s called Energy Hog. Basically, you have to do things like caulk the windows real good before the Energy Hog can enter. Who do they think will [...]

Dogs Like To Dress Up Too

Sunday, I went to Tompkins Square Park to watch the dogs get all gussied up for Halloween. I took some snaps. But my battery went dead, and so there weren’t so many shots to choose from. But here is a sampling: This dog wears a hat, wifebeater, and shorts. It is a costume if you [...]
