I’d rather watch ads.

[Okay, I've tried to post this twice so far. Each time I've done it, I've tweaked it (especially since I can't remember what I typed the previous time. Here's another attempt and hopefully it'll stick this time. Hmm. Server problems? And I thought it was just my connection to the Internet striking against me again]. [...]

Every Step You Take (Redux)

Stairmaster in your future? [I've recreated this article from memory. I hope it matches what I wrote.] My mom gave me this pedometer (see picture at right) that she got from the 99 cent store. She couldn’t figure out how it works, so that’s how I got it. I wore it watching the Yankees-Red Sox [...]

What the heck happened?

Something weird happened with my ISP. SSW15 and I wrote two articles on the 12th, and they both disappeared. I know that the server was down sometime this evening. I’m pretty sure I’m not dreaming, because I got a comment email on my article. We’ll try to recreate those missing articles….

In Hot Water

Back of the train in Brooklyn The hot water in the apartment came back on today after being off for the last two days. It was pretty bad in this nippy weather. It was back to the concrete slab bathroom and two pots of boiled water method of bathing. I can deal with a lot [...]

Baseball continued

And, now we know – Chicago Cubs vs. Florida Marlins, Boston Red Sox v. NY Yankees. Plus, the Mets’ pitcher Al Leiter on Fox doing the color analysis of the Cubs/Marlins game – the Marlins, Leiter’s ex-team? Baseball in October never ceases to surprise me. Wonder if the news in CA is up yet? Gov. [...]

Baseball

It’s 10:35pm; do you know where your children are? Just when you think it’s time to give up with baseball, they suck you back in… This Boston v. Oakland, Game 5, is turning out to be quite a watch. The A’s are trying to tie it up – again – and poor Johnny Damon had [...]

“If It Wasn’t For Your Love” there wouldn’t be so many people

Cue Soundtrack: Heather Headley, “If It Wasn’t For Your Love”. [Windows Media] Go ahead, hit the link — it’s the couple’s song — and keep on reading. Dragonboaters salute the new couple There are certain experiences that are hard to put into words, or at least are easier to put in terms of another culture or [...]

Mucho television

I think I’ve overloaded on the television stuff, but that’s just me. CBS’ “The Handler” starring Joe Pantaliano, he’s an FBI handler, that is, he preps the special agents who go undercover and retrieves them when their cases are done or get messed up. The series’ premiere was intruiging. Missed last night’s episode, but I [...]

Entertainment Weekly

And, before I go to sleep, I checked out the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, the entertainment magazine. Dated October 10, 2003, it’s the Photo Issue – “The Year’s Best Pictures,” with George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones on the cover (probably to promote their upcoming movie). Love these kinds of issues – glossy pictures, and [...]

Floating in air

[I'm actually writing this on the 4th, but since I'm the admin, I get to warp space and time in this little domain. It also fits neatly that gap between the 2nd and the 4th.] I went to the opening of the NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, which is part of their new [...]
