- omg sayid was hot when he got off the island. and dang does he know his scotch

Fun review: new york stories: the annual MothShop All-Star Review @ city winery March 25, 2010
- omg I love city winery. ok that’s a dumb statement. I love wine.
- but seriously, those may have been some of the more amazing scallops I’ve had in my life. The buffalo pizza was kinda meh though.
- on the upside, I like goat cheese sometimes. Who knew! And the bread with it was outstanding.
- oh right, the show. it’s really cool seeing what is basically a live podcast. It’s a neat reminder that no matter how cool something is on the interweb or on headphones, a live performance will always take poignancy to that next level. Even (or rather especially) if the show is just someone telling a story onstage with simple lighting.
- poignancy is probably the word of the eve. even though I liked some of the stories more than others, each one definitely struck an emotional cord. This is particularly strong coming from me, as my emotional cord hasn’t worked since 2003.
- even though the theme was ‘new york stories’ (which drew me in) I felt like these stories could have taken place anywhere and that the location was just wallpaper. I think as new yorkers, we have this tendency to categorize things as either ‘new yorky’ or ‘not new yorky enough’. I love new york and do this more often than not. maybe it’s not that things are ‘new yorky’. Maybe it’s just the ‘human condition’. maybe my emotional cord is more defective/destructive than I realized.
- I think it’s safe to say that everyone’s favorite story of the night was stanley alpert. he was once kidnapped at gunpoint (on his birthday), held for several hours, threatened with his savings account getting emptied and more. It wasn’t so much that this happened to him, or how he told the story (really well). it actually changed him and made his life better (or so it seems). These are the stories I love to believe in. when the worst thing becomes the best thing.
- ugh, look at this list, I’m like 3 items away from joining oprah’s book club. gross.
- have I mentioned that I love the upright bass? Perhaps the only upside to the rash of old timey bands sweeping the nyc music scene is that people are playing the upright bass again. oh, yeah, the point being the bass player (keith) would start playing when the stories hit the 10 min mark. That was really cool. I almost wish that people rambled more so I got to hear more bass.
- oh, and big ups to paul, the wicked cool sound engineer who talked to us. you have a dream job and don’t live in Brooklyn and talk like a normal person. only in new york.
Jobs of yesteryear and the reasons I would have been fired from them March 24, 2010
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124251060
- lector – would cigar rollers of cuba enjoyed my readings of lists about sandwiches? I would guess no. keanu reeves never got big there. Nor did haikus.
- elevator operator – who knew that elevators only worked that way in the movie about the chocolate factory
- copy boy – apparently editors don’t like when you annotate your thoughts on their copy
- pinsetter – sounds like the beginning of an old timey version of a ‘did you hear what happened to lisa in brooklyn?’ story. Five tuppins says I trip myself on the pins and sprain my ankle
- river driver – it would get old pretty fast when I kept telling people that I wore red flannel before it was cool. sounds cold, wet, and dangerous too. my parents used to get regular calls from summer camp saying I was not a strong swimmer.
- iceman – even in the roaring 20s, I suspect America wasn’t ready to see ‘slippery when wet’ tshirts and bumper stickers
- lamplighter – lisa+petticoats+ladder = the invention of the emergency room and the downfall of health care
- milkman – can’t you just see the headlines in the old timey post? ‘milkmaid exchanges clotted cream for biscuits and more: Connections to jam embezzlement sought. Industry udder’ly devastated’.
- switchboard operator – from what I can gather, giving love advice to callers in long distance relationships was strictly verboten.
- typist & typesetter – two different jobs that I would be fired from for the same reason. Scattering the word ‘meow’ throughout the documents.
Possible comments from my future shrink in observance of my phone habits March 23, 2010
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/23/health/23cases.html?ref=science
- for a device that is silenced, it holds a commanding power over you with particular regard to boys
- just because your dad texts you while he’s in therapy, does not mean that it’s helpful
- it is not a productive use of our time for me to figure out why your alarm clock app is wonky
- that’s a pretty weak Teeter score you got there. How does that make you feel?
- Gchat status bars are not the place to broadcast your ‘breakthroughs’
- does criticizing the carnal habits of your gay cousin make you feel better? and he’s not even your real cousin?
- why is that guy yelling?
- when I asked to see pictures of your family, you showed me one of your parents, one of your quasi gay cousin, one of your ¼ cat, and about 17 microbrew and sandwich shots. What do YOU think that means?
- sped is not appropriate contact name for someone
- no you cannot liveblog our sessions
Thoughts I’ve had during the last 12 (twelve) days without coffee due to my lingering cold/plague March 22, 2010
- person talking to lisa in the morning: blah blah blah blah. lisa: I hate you, I don’t care, I hate you.
- why is everyone yelling
- a gaggle of women at work are trying to talk to me and I have no coffee to mitigate. It’s like I’m mormon with multiple wives and no caffeine. None of the wives have made me chicken soup.
- the only thing making this remotely livable is getting to have honey in my tea. I wish someone would beekeep with me.
- I wonder if putting honey in coffee makes it good for a cold. Anyone tried it? do I even care at this point.
- I wonder if this means I don’t have to do Passover since I have already made the greatest sacrifice one can make
- today was not the day to send me a forward
- I want my bamf hour back
- sorry, I haven’t spent all day thinking about what your best qualities are. Oh. That was out loud.
- holy mother of god that man sitting next to me on the train smells amazing. oh. It’s his coffee. I could totally lick his face.
Come hive with me March 15, 2010
Reasons YOU should consider a joint beekeeping endeavor with me once it’s legal
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/15/science/earth/15bees.html?src=me&ref=general
- do you really think it’s a good idea that I handle 20,000 bees alone?
- 100 pounds of honey!!! I could break a honeyeating world record! There isn’t even one on the books!!!
- Dude, we could make an entire cookbook’s worth of food with that.
- see what happened? It started with beekeeping and I just got in the kitchen and made you amazing baked goods.
- perhaps beekeeping is the gateway drug of domesticity for me
- it would probably lead to me having the entire rooftop completely to myself…and YOURSELF
- which would definitely keep me off the streets
- Lost is ending soon
- didn’t you say you always wanted a pet bee?
- we wouldn’t have allergies anymore and it might help with the whole mosquito bite issue
- “it’s such a positive, happy thing to do.” You love positive happy things!
- we’d get to dress up like the ghostbusters all summer!
- http://www.nyc-bees.org/coregroup.html how hot is adam?
- queens never does anything sustainable and Brooklyn is watching and laughing
- BISCUITS
