I swear – Fox’s “House, M.D.” is a great show. Dr. House knows he’s hardly a good person. But, he knows he’s a good doctor because he’s right. He doesn’t do it because he likes people or because he wants to save lives – or maybe he does care. Hard to say. This week’s episode [...]

Employees who blog ought to be careful, reports Tom Zeller, Jr., of the NY Times: As the practice of blogging has spread, employees like Mr. Kennedy are coming to the realization that corporations, which spend millions of dollars protecting their brands, are under no particular obligation to tolerate threats, real or perceived, from the activities [...]

Being the good boy that I am, and being that P works for them, I donated a pint of blood today at work. After going through the battery of questions (more than 30) and reading which countries were on the bad list, I was led to the bed closest to the room’s TV. Which was [...]

Yesterday, a friend and I tried another Brooklyn Restaurant Week’s selection, Caffe Buon Gusto on Montague St. Kind of odd that I went to law school in the area and had never been there, but it was nice – pricing wasn’t bad; pretty good eggplant parmagiana. Today, I attended a brunch at Alma Mater Undergrad [...]

My colleagues and I enjoyed Asian cuisine at Planet Thailand in Williamsburg Friday night. Good food – pad thai was good. Fried ice cream is always awesome. Curiously interesting locale – ex-warehouse, with Asian/weird art decor (a fountain at the front; a row boat at the ceiling; eh?). Funky neighborhood – very East Village for [...]

Last night, my colleagues and I continued our Brooklyn Restaurant week sampling, trying out the The Soul Spot, a Caribbean/soul food restaurant, on Atlantic Ave. and Smith St. Good food for a little place. Pricing moderate. Mmm. Tomorrow, we’ll be doing Planet Thailand in Williamsburg. This restaurant week thing has been fun. Oh, and yeah, [...]

It’s Brooklyn Restaurant Week, 4/11/05 to 4/20/05! Three course meals for $19.55, at selected restaurants, in honor of the Dodgers. My colleagues and I checked out Dhaka, a new Indian restaurant on Atlantic Ave., and we enjoyed the selection/moderate pricing, such that we ended up getting outside the 19.55 special (well, that meant ordering soup, [...]

Suffice it to say – I’m at Alma Mater as I write this, for Dean’s Day (wherein we enjoy some lectures and stuff) — lunch – sooo good. Chicken, nicely spiced and perhaps roasted – atop of a bed of wild rice and shredded squash – mmm. Plus, tiramisu — mmm. Alma Mater’s really did [...]

I got home Wednesday night, so this is a recap of the Wednesday that went on for 48 hours…. my jetlag is pretty much over already. Wednesday morning part 1: Before checking out of the hotel, I bought a Japanese yukata, a night robe that was quite comfortable. We went to several 105 Yen stores [...]

Cookie Monster’s going healthy. I don’t think it’s entirely implausible; Cookie just eats too much cookies. Besides, I’m sure he’d love the Snackwell cookies and other healthy/ier stuff. Dale Messick, the creator of the “Brenda Starr” comic strip, has passed away. Fascinating story about a woman cartoonist in an cartoonist age/industry predominantly male. Personally, I [...]
