Every now and then, something truly, remarkably random happens to reaffirm my love for this city.
Last night, I went to the East Village with some friends to grab dinner and scope out some bars for my upcoming birthday. Our walk eventually led us to Alphabet City, and as we made our way up toward [...]

First of all, kudos to Kiefer and the gang at Fox for winning 5 Emmys for 24. I actually cheered out loud when the awards were announced.
Also, kudos to Conan and NBC for putting together an awards show that I’m not embarrased to admit had me cheering and laughing out loud. That song [...]

In case you haven’t heard, leading astronomers around the world have decided to reneg on previously accepted scientific fact and have demoted Pluto’s status as a planet in our solar system. Pluto is no longer a planet.

Things That Would Not Be The [...]

Since writing about my wedding registry dilemma a few days ago, I have consulted a variety of different sources for gift suggestions. Most people have suggested either cash or gift cards for the registry stores. Yes, these would help me avoid purchasing housewares that I am not yet old enough to feel comfortable [...]

I received quite an interesting comment to my previous post this morning….
Dear Amish, I think it may be interesting to you to know that your blog/you were the hit topic last night in my bed.

Last Friday was my company’s annual Promotion Day, a day set aside for the whole company to celebrate the announcement of the new promotes for the year. The firm goes all out - the day consists of 3-4k people gathering in a big venue, some rah-rah speeches from leadership, a surprise guest speaker, and [...]

What do a Trolley, 80s Outfits, a ton of booze, and a big black lady’s boobs all have in common? Nothing, unless you’re my friend Phortner, in which case they’re all a part of an annual event celebrating your birthday. Last weekend I flew out to Chicago to partake in the Second Annual [...]

This post was meant for Gawker
But I couldn’t quite figure it out
Couldn’t think of a good subject
Writer’s block, without a doubt
I thought about the heat wave
But that’s so yesterday
Besides I’m sitting indoors
So its not that bad anyway
Yes, I’m apartment hunting
But I can’t write about that
I’ll end up getting angry
Fucking brokers, those asshats
I could try to [...]
