Something I noticed about Obama and Mccain
Obama talks like Dave Chappelle when he is doing his impression of white people and McCain sounds like Richard Dreyfus

first time at a Bruni-worthy restaurant in nyc. yes, the bill was oh-so expensive (a $50 wine fee). yes, my $10 soup came in a shot glass more or less (several bowls full would’ve been more sufficient, it was so good), yes there was a very boozy, very annoying 40 something man slurring beside me (go communal tables!) but this place was quite the scene. Cozy, intimate, lively without being...

After hearing Matt Damon’s brilliant comparison of a Sarah Palin presidency to a bad Disney movie, I called up Sam and said “Let’s make a trailer for what that movie would look like.” Within hours, Dan and Amir were writing it, Ben and the CHTV crew were casting and producing it, and two weeks later, here it is.
Digg?

Impromptou Craft Beer Bar crawl
Here’s the itinerary for our impromptou craft beer bar crawl. Me, Kate, Chris, Kate’s friend Liz, Craver and Laura all participated. We started at Puck Fair - i’ve been there before, its quite nice AND its the first to open. We started drinking at 3 pm, i had a Schnider Weiss (always hard to resist at Puck Fair where it is $8) We then went to Jimmy’s which turned...

Vegan Options at the Airport: Slim to none →
I can attest to this- last time i flew- during a layover in Colorado, the only thing open was, of couse, the ever reliable McDonald’s. What’s a girl to do?

Things that are Dangerous
1. People who can’t walk/text message simultaneously
2. People who are drunk/unemployed/walking around the LES at 6 PM
3. People who walk side by side - 3 to a sidewalk
4. People with dogs on those leashes that get longer as the dog strays
5. Running from the East River down Housten Street at 6 PM and encountering these individuals
6. All things Spanish, like El Nino

What is a Juggalo? →
on the ride to a wedding in Philly during Hurricane no wait TROPICAL storm Hanna yesterday, the boys- Chris, Travis and Billy- helped explain to me what a juggalo is. Travis was telling us a story of a man he met on tour who had been saved by the Juggalos. Billy also had the song “What is a Juggalo” on his ipod for exactly such situations. the song includes these lyrics:

Books
I am proud you are reading a book i recommended. I’m reading a book you recommended that I’ve been wanting to read for awhile. John Kennedy Toole’s Confederacy of Dunces- so far its verging on LOL funny. I feel like Ignatius reminds me of some pompous pretentious you-know-whats i already know so its going to be very easy for me to tear through this one.

Wow - Okay, so rather than address the issue at hand, which is the completely unfounded and scurrilous argument that all omnivores are “cute animal haters/torturers,” you attack the source of the argument/opinion by decrying his weight and then hoping he dies? Not only is that stupid, it’s actually rather cruel.
As for the general weight level of New...

venting about restaurants
seriously, if i read one more restaurant reviewer gush about a new place serving ‘veal burgers’ ‘foie gras’ and/or ‘pork belly’ something or other, im going to slit one of these cute animal haters/torturers’ throats.
