The TV season is quickly coming to a close and for me this means rooting for my faves in the Reality TV world.

I pretty much always expect my picks to lose, although this is not always the case.  Take for instance the last cycle's winner of Biggest Loser, Michelle.  I loved her and could not have been happier to see her win.  On the other hand, my ( Read more... )

As I was coming in today, I saw one of those Christian fish on the back of the car in front of me.  This isn't unusual.  I see at least 4 or 5 of them on the commute everyday.  What made this one different is that it had the Star of David in the belly of the fish ( Read more... )

I figured I should get this last day up before my mom actually buys a ticket to LA and kills me for not doing it ( Read more... )

After the late night, we slept in until almost noon.  Matt was a trooper and actually got up first with Ange lagging the most.  We started off our day with the Empire State Building.  Matt and I paid extra to go up to the 102nd floor.  Hardly anyone does it, so it was nice.  It's enclosed up there, so it was warm and there was no pressure to move ( Read more... )

Hm....  I honestly don't remember how Tuesday started.  Probably with grumbling about who had to take a shower first.  All I remember is being back in Little Italy and eating pizza at Lombardi's, which was the first pizzeria in the United States (1905).  Let me say, a hundred years later and the pizza is still top notch.  We split a basic cheese ( Read more... )

The Trio took our first rush-hour Subway ride.  I have a feeling it was not your ordinary experience because after the first stop, I was able to claim a seat and by the 2nd the other two were able to join me until the train ended at Battery Park.  We rushed to the ferry and just barely made it on the 9:00 am boat to the Statue of Liberty.  It's a ( Read more... )

As most Sundays should start, we woke up late and headed straight to brunch.  Angela and I went to Perilla in Greenwich Village while Matt and Cynthia checked out MoMA.  Ange and I got there a little early so we did a quick tour around Washington Square Park, NYU and strolled through a mini street fair.  I almost bought some cute socks, but I didn' ( Read more... )

I was never around a computer long enough to type up my journeys in the Big Apple while actually there, so a day by day recount after the fact is going to have to suffice.

We (Matt, Angela, and I) arrived at JFK around 8:30am Saturday morning.  We took a taxi to Cynthia's place over on the Upper West Side and proceeded to nap for the next couple of ( Read more... )

With a horoscope like this one, I'm fucking hibernating the rest of the day as a precaution:

Instead of making amends for something you said or did yesterday, you might just dig your hole a little deeper today. Even with the best of intentions, you can still anger someone inadvertently. Of course, a heartfelt apology can do you a world of good, but ( Read more... )

I love the cheese that is the movie Mamma Mia!, but this weekend I had the chance to go see the stage version and reluctantly agree that it is indeed better.

It's impossible to beat the actual Greek islands where the film was shot, but the overall story is better told on stage.  The dads neither get stuck in the room over the goat shed nor do they ( Read more... )
