Hey. Last night we went to go see Jonathan Safran Foer at the Barnes & Noble in Union Square. He’s the author of two pretty great novels – Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Most recently he wrote a book called Eating Animals, which is a serious discussion about the moral implications [...]

It feels like all I’m really doing right now is counting down to this Saturday, when I’ll heave my white ass on to a Bolt Bus that’s DC-bound. The temp work is coming much less frequently and I still need to eat. I’ll spend next week at home with family and dogs for Thanksgiving. They [...]

Facebook is suggesting I reconnect with myself. How existential.
Someone needs to come pick me up off the floor right now!
I want to be a singer!
I love having my own Christmas tree in my bedroom.
Just got confused reading a book. Looking for the pause button.

The water taxi to Red Hook is free on the weekends and we were headed to a party. After a scenic ride on the East River we disembarked and were met by water taxi staff.
“You do realize that the last water taxi back to Manhattan is leaving immediately, right?”
The subtext of this was so obviously, [...]

I gave man-birth to another hilarious piece of writing. Click here to read it on NinjaPancakes.com!

After a disappointing trip to Trader Joe’s yesterday (too many people!), I wandered back out to Union Square to grab a bench, maybe read a little. But there was a crowd forming around some guys doing ridiculous gymnastics – backflips, splits, and everything else. I stuck around just long enough to take this picture:
He lined [...]

I was borderline catatonic this morning. Every atom in my body resisted getting out of bed. How can I be this exhausted when I don’t even have a regular job? Oh! Because I’m lazy!
In Europe, today’s date is the same if you turn it upside down:
6/11/9
Oh, nations of Europe. Your socialized medicine and liberated sexuality [...]

There is only one way to deal with an unpleasurable temp job. Keep a bag of candy somewhere on your person. A day at Prada meant that I had Swedish Fish in my jacket pocket from about noon to 5:30 PM. And it helped. Anytime it got to be too much to bear, I’d reach [...]

So I’m in Ollie’s to score some cheap Chinese grub. I go downstairs to use the bathroom and open the door to what is presumably a large public restroom. But no. It’s a single toilet. And it’s occupied. My eyes are met with the sight of a man with his back to me and his [...]

Dear Coen Brothers:
Between Barton Fink, Miller’s Crossing, and now A Serious Man, I think it’s time you two got busy on a cheesy slapstick romantic comedy. Where does all this existential life-is-a-meaningless-void angst come from? It’s time to pump a little cliched happiness into the atmosphere. Something starring a witty and dashing male lead who [...]

I finally made the time to ride a lap around Central Park, something I’ve wanted to do ever since I had my bike here. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. I had to dodge lots of pedestrians and marathon volunteers (they were setting up for the marathon today), but it put me in a [...]

I love a good radio show and I especially love a good podcast. Comedian Marc Maron has been podcasting for a little while now and his show has consistently been great. I find myself looking forward to Mondays and Thursdays when new episodes go up.
His episode from this Monday featured an extended monologue [...]

It began when the girls started swapping stories about times that guys had cat-called at them. Mostly good natured – a girl is walking down one side of the street when a guy on the other side shouts across to her. “I see you, girl! Thank you for MAKING MY DAY!”
So I shared the story [...]
