AD/BC: A Rock Opera
A year ago Alison (Braids) and Katie (Katie) injected my slumbering brain with a shot of Jesus related comedy. The shot lay dormant in my system for nearly a year, finally surging to life several days ago as I lay somewhat nude in a pile of bodies next to several pillowcases full of onions, with no hope or intentions of ever leaving that bed again. As the...

Today in New York
I wrote a page of balogna on the bus today about my 30 hours in New York, in the snow, out on the street, seeing my friends, etc., but I don’t need to bore you, so here’s just a couple of lines of it.
I sat down with my buttered everything-bagel, surrounded by a constantly-changing mix of people, good and bad, interesting or barely noticeable, smelly, funny or just plain loud and...
BachFest
My Mom never listens. She thinks Bach is a downer. Oh well. I recently learned that Bach was an orphan. I bet some of you did, too.
The Annual Email From My Brother:
Season’s Greetings all,
It wouldn’t be my favorite time of year without ten full days of nonstop J.S. Bach, and there wouldn’t be that without BACHFEST. Tune in to WKCR - 89.9 FM, or listen though iTunes...

“Maybe you should look into preventing, like, the next swine flu or something, instead of spending your resources getting all up in people’s business and, like, making judgments about how some people have chosen to live in tiny ridiculously expensive apartments and to spend their days surrounded by a bunch of fellow strivers with delusions of grandeur, working and...

I’m gonna pull a Dan Riesser and make make fun of you on Tumblr for being so late in the game with all your love for The Wire in late 2009. Here’s an article from the New Yorker about David Simon that I would’ve posted in 2007 if I had a blog then.

Dress for the Evening
Elegant hot black dress? Or dress that kind of makes me look like a candy cane?
Gonna have to go candy cane.
Going Home
I’m having a problem with my FB that my friend from New York is trying to help me with but I couldn’t get it right. She wrote back the following,
“We will fixski when you are herearoni. I promiscle.”
Can’t wait to see her!
People of New York
I will be in town all day the 22nd, 1st half of the 23rd. Then, NJ Transit will welcome me back with open arms on my descent to the beach.
I’m then back on the 30th at some point until 6pm on the 1st.
I want to see you. I want to meet you on your lunch break. I want to ice skate. I want to reunite with the International bar, dance on the Bowery, and just know what it’s like again to...
They say it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Having moved from NYC to L.A., I have to feel this way about falafel.
“Now Vimeo and parent corp IAC are coming under legal attack for promoting the creation and distribution of these so-called lip dub videos in the form of a suit filed by Capital Records, which is seeking retribution for what it alleges is copyright infringement.”
Hey, semi-journalist — “Lip Dub Videos” is redundant, like PIN Number. I learned this when I finally got...
Redeye Monday 12/21
Anyone taking a redeye Monday night? We can go to the airport together. And drink wine with a side of xanax in great anticipation of the next five hours of suck.
Alison.
So, this is how I’ll always be remembered. I do most often make a run for it, and generally leave friends on opposite-side street corners waiting with frustration. Jillian took a picture of this moment, so you know it’s true.
She also just got me all teary-eyed at work. Jeeez.

Delbert Shoopman (my new life motto) (via delbertshoopman)
Since we’re all having our say…My prom night I’d just broken up with my boyfriend, and I was screwed. And I had, maybe, 2 boyfriends, for very short periods of time in high school, and this is the 2nd time I’d...
