Balancing working and socializing. Managed to locate a BBQ place on H street whose hot sauce reminded me of the sauce I used to adore at Smokey’s on Amsterdam Avenue. Tags: daily photo, food… Continue Reading

No Friday the 13th tattoo today, for important reasons. Instead heres a picture of the can in the bus to DC. There was wifi on the bus, but for some reason its TOS wouldn’t let me log on to photobucket. One more bbit of wackiness in an overwhelmingly wacky day. Too tired to worry about… Continue Reading
Safety First…
So this morning I’m heading into my subway station and there is one of those NYPD random search tables, staffed by three cops, supposedly making sure that our track rats can continue to lead lives undisturbed by Sarin gas or ninja throwing stars. Oh no, I thought, here we go. Because you see here I… Continue Reading

I used to get my salad here. Like, last week. Further evidence of economic downturn: this storefront on Fifth Fucking Avenue and 43rd Street used to house a Cafe Europa, part of a Deli chain that’s all around midtown.

At the end of it all, Jeff, one of my oldest friends, asked me what I thought and after fumbling for words I simply… Continue Reading

Two 3D Movies in two days! Last night a bunch of us went to see Coraline on the Upper West side. Given that it was the first night, an early evening show, and a big family neighborhood, the screening was surprisingly devoid of child fueled outbursts. There was one young lady behind us who was… Continue Reading
Wow…
This Tiny Ding Dong wants to thank everyone who sent such warm wishes yesterday for my birthday. I was bowled over by what people said. Thank you. In honor of Lux Interior’s demise, and because I thought it would be leaving the theaters soon, I took myself out to see My Bloody Valentine 3D in… Continue Reading
As of today…
I’ve been around here for 49 years. I have to say that the past few years have proved to be among the most surprising in all of my life. As I noted last week, despite occasional gripes, I am one lucky duck. People talk about who they were in their past lives. Even if I… Continue Reading
