Holiday Card 2005

Wednesday, December 28th, 2005

Happy Holidays!

Every year Steve designs our holiday card and this year-thanks to my uncle Eli for scanning it-I am sharing it with you! We have been designing our cards for years because where else can a Jew and a Catholic find a card with a menorah and a X-mas tree as well as Smokey, Simone [...]

A Black Coat Fairytale

Tuesday, December 27th, 2005

I am purposefully not writing about the strike last week. I know everyone probably has a great story but for me, after missing work on Tuesday during my second week of a new job, I got a ride into Manhattan and slept on a pals couch on 21st Street. I haven’t been home or able [...]

Imaginary Boys (But Only One)

Tuesday, December 13th, 2005

Lately, like early this week on the Metro North coming back to NYC, I have found myself running into and then running from people I haven’t seen in years (like that really sweet boy from high school). Maybe this is literal, figurative or metaphorical and maybe all of the above…either way this is something [...]

To Pee or Not to Pee

Saturday, December 10th, 2005

I was on 59th Street and Lexington today when the worst thing that could possible happen, happened. I had to pee.

The Daily Grind

Friday, December 9th, 2005

Today is my last day off before I start my new job. I spent the entire day watching season 2 of Arrested Development. Now if every day were like today I would definitely not be calling it the daily grind. Maybe something like the how absurd are we as American’s to possibly let this show [...]

What a Week off of Work Gets You

Friday, December 9th, 2005

Finding this on the internet was probably my most sober moment this week and I just found it a few minutes ago.

Tom Cruise Kills Oprah and proves that Amy is a dork because she finds it so funny

West of the BORDERS South of the Sun

Wednesday, December 7th, 2005

The other night in Aimee Mann Ipod land I was tipsily getting off the train at Ditmars when I spotted a familiar face from my brief time working at Borders in Mt Kisco. It brought me back to all my bookstore years I had in Mt. Kisco (there were 5 of them). I think that [...]

I’m Back!

Sunday, December 4th, 2005

We have our internet back! It has been about 3 weeks of spotty to no wireless service and now I’m back and running. I have a new camera and a new job so expect almost daily entries from here on out!

Rock on!
