Man, I wish Sesame Street was real sometimes. Let's humor the thought for a second, shall we? Let's imagine that the world wouldn't freak out with monsters living among us, and that this place existed somewhere a couple of blocks down Gramercy. Talking birds, compulsive cookie eaters, the last mammoths on earth and all. You know, the works. And ( Read more... )

By the year 300 A.D., Rome had over 46,000 blocks of residential buildings up to five storeys in height. They were called 'insulae', or 'islands'.The view from my window is magnificent. Surreal, but at the same time, magnificent. The lights of a million buildings just join forces to chase away the traditional night. You've got a light on as well, ( Read more... )

I have a bone to pick with Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. I love the rolls just as much as the next guy, but it seems as though the manufacturers didn't pay particular attention to the confectionery's vulnerability to heat. When I bought this pack of Tootsie Rolls at the supermarket, and when I had the first one of the bunch, it was heavenly. It was ( Read more... )

I went to take the dog out for a walk two afternoons ago, and the half-hour I intended to keep it extended into about a four hour long Wizard of Oz-type journey across the mystical land of New York City. Freddy was bitching (no pun intended) and I had to buy him some doggie bones, 'cause he had this look in his eyes that threatened me, giving me ( Read more... )

The human mind works funny, it's a conclusion I've drawn based on experience so screw the rocket scientists who oppose experience with facts. "Fact" sounds like "fucked" for a reason. It's also funny how we kind of have so much to say sometimes but hesitate to say it for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately it's not easy for me to blurt stuff out ( Read more... )

I think a breath of fresh air is in order for me, so I stepped out of The Plumm to stretch my legs, hoping to soak up some good times instead if for a while. Work is good, but it's far from what should make a person's life and reason to get up every morning. And the occasional leisure trips are totally awesome, which is where I'm headed for. I feel ( Read more... )

Does having Lindsay Lohan drop by your club that you co-own with Chris Noth (Lindsay and Chris are not together as far as I know) make you or your place cool? Because I'm having second thoughts. Yes, there is Lindsay Lohan and her mammoth kahunas. Then, there is Chris Noth. Then, there is you. Then all those wacky New Yorkers. It's like a battle of ( Read more... )

I wish I were in the 80s right this minute. Only because I'm sure I'd definitely have been a rock star if I were legal during that decade. Kind of like Slash.

Okay, I will spare the whole rant about how all they're making these days are remakes of old movies or TV shows. Instead, I will let fake Jessica Simpson do the talking for me. I'm in love ( Read more... )

You know how before you were all famous and attending Oscar after parties sipping Merlot with Glenn Close, you were a regular kid scratching your crotch while watching evening TV in just your boxers? Yes, well I kind of ventured down that alley for a while for a couple of months now. And let me recount my favorite TV journey ( Read more... )

Let's give this another go ( Read more... )
