I certainly wouldn't say this is the Burg's best work, but it's the only one featuring Rachel, me, and sis.

So Christmas was fine and all this year. I got lots of fun toys ( Read more... )

I think the most amazing thing about this video is that by virtue of being old and in black and white it feels completely whimsical. It's thrilling without being scary. If we saw something like this in "real life," for example, the guy who climbed up the NYTimes building- we'd call him a reckless idiot. But in this video, the guy's smile is so ( Read more... )

About a month and a half ago, I decided to make a regular habit out of doing push-ups.  I've always been pretty physically fit from the solar plexus down, and it seemed like a good idea to be able to even things out.  Also, I figured it'd be cool to be able to lift things.

The first sign that this was not going to be the kind of class that I'm used to came when the teacher introduced a "Sanskrit chant" that she summed up as, "basically ( Read more... )

So, being in Riverhead is definitely not as terrible as I had feared.  I've spend the past couple of days just unpacking, getting rid of shit (I have 3 full bags destined for the Salvation Army), and making my bedroom a livable space.  I must say, it's looking pretty decent ( Read more... )

So, it looks like I'm moving to Riverhead for a time indeterminate, possibly measured in months.  Starting this Monday.

Consider it a new trend: Plenty of people summer on the North Fork, but how many people Autumn on the North Fork?  You can thank me when you see it on Gossip Girl next season.

Despite its relative proximity, I don't think I'll be ( Read more... )
