You’re an Oyster! You don’t have a ton of complexity or identity on your own, so you’ve made an effort to focus on making a nice and sturdy house. It gives you the appearance of being interesting as well as a good place to hide from your critics and those who might expose your secrets. [...]

…Cincinnati ?! We’re off to see the bris for P’s godson’s brother in America’s Heartland. It will be good to see one of P’s good friends, who happens to be going to law school right now. Now this is not exactly what I was expecting to do on Labor Day weekend – we as a [...]

Last Wednesday: Quintessence, Vegan and raw food. Very… interesting. Not something I’d do regularly, but it was different. Eye-catching, even. Kind of tasty and filling. Venieros Italian Bakery in the East Village – great stuff! Summer reading continued: Re-reading (or at least doing a better job of reading than I did of it the last [...]

Friday as the day where I didn’t go to work. What did I do instead? Among other things: NYC Transit Museum – saw the collages exhibit: “Paper Passages” by Chris Pelletiere. Loved it! Vibrant demonstration of the vibrant life in the subway. Pelletiere’s inspiration from his childhood in Brooklyn and enthusiasm for the medium is [...]

You’re Roots! by Alex Haley While almost everyone agrees that you’re brilliant, no one knows quite how to categorize you. Some say that you’re a person with an amazing family tree. Some say that you’re just a darn good storyteller. Others say that you’re both and don’t much care where to draw the line. What [...]

You’re Siddhartha! by Hermann Hesse You simply don’t know what to believe, but you’re willing to try anything once. Western values, Eastern values, hedonism and minimalism, you’ve spent some time in every camp. But you still don’t have any idea what camp you belong in. This makes you an individualist of the highest order, but [...]

You’re Ulysses! by James Joyce Most people are convinced that you don’t make any sense, but compared to what else you could say, what you’re saying now makes tons of sense. What people do understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once brilliant and repugnant. Meanwhile you are [...]

Hmm. Summer tv leaves much to be desired. Well, ok, “Doctor Who,” Series 3, on SciFi has been kind of entertaining. I keep missing “Eureka” – you’d think that now that I finally have cable, I’d actually watch the stuff I’ve been wanting to watch! “Burn Notice” seems entertaining, but I haven’t watched very consistently. [...]

Last Saturday – went to Brooklyn Museum, the last First Saturday until October. Warm day; museum’s air flow a bit lacking (the stairs were quite warm). The more I visit, the more I think I like the new entrance – it feels inviting and mixes the old and new well. The exhibits were curious and [...]

We’re at Giants Stadium waiting for The Police reunion tour. We took the bus from Port Authority, which was pretty good at only $10 round trip. Sting’s son was on with his band Fiction Plane, which was pretty generic except for the liberal use of the F word. A surprise opening appearance by the Fratelis [...]
