OMG.  NY Giants win!  (against New England Patriots; again!!). Yay, Giants! I had actually called the score, days ago, when I put in my picks.  Man, I should have put money on this. Still: the Giants win! Regarding the commercials: the Coke polar bears commercials were sweet, as was the MetLife  commercial that brought Peanuts [...]

Happy Year of the Dragon…  May it be auspicious for all of us! In the NY Daily News: an article on the question of why NYC Chinatown still doesn’t have its own arch.   I posit that inertia, money, and lack of actual analysis (of where to put it and how to drive the tourists to [...]

Happy birthday, Alexander Hamilton, Wherever You Are! Lin-Manuel Miranda Performs at the White House Poetry Jam: (8 of (by whitehouse) I’m sharing this video, in honor of Alexander Hamilton’s birthday.  I remembered watching this on PBS awhile ago; this was so awesome… Lin-Manuel Miranda is ridiculously amazing for the extent of his creativity and his [...]

OMG, it’s 2012!  Have a Happy and Healthy New Year to all!

It’s not quite feeling like winter the past couple of days.  Oh well. From Time.com: “8 Ways to Better Enjoy the Nutcracker” – good tips, actually. Funny thing about this time of year: people can get a little crazy about the religion thing; yes, it is a Christmas tree, not a “holiday tree” and, sure, [...]

This cold spell is making it feel a lot like Christmas in the city. I am also in incredible denial that 2011 is about to end. Jimmy Fallon hosted “Saturday Night Live” last night. His appearance was (a) kind of funny, but there were a couple of pointless and not good sketches, and I didn’t [...]

Don’t forget: Pearl Harbor Day, a day that has lived in infamy. I thought that the NY Times’ editorial about the need to remember Pearl Harbor expressed notable thoughts.
