Get out, save yourself....
Battling around Fairway with a hangover makes me want to cry but I really really need food. Why are the people in there so rude!!!
Just a spoon full of sugar....
Last night I was surprised with a ticket to see Mary Poppins, which took me back to being 7 years old when I made my brother watch the movie everyday for a year. They’ve played around with the story to make it work for the stage but a little artistic licence is acceptable. Maybe I’ve been tainted over the years but I can’t help wondering if Mary Poppins was drugging everyone with...

I think there’s an Austin Powers sketch in there somewhere…. “This coffee tastes like shit, Basil”

brunettes ARE the best.... but red heads have more...
mascarah: According to the Times of London, a dating site created a list of the world’s top 100 billionaires and analyzed the tresses of the rich guy’s wives and girlfriends. The results? 62% of billionaires had married women with brown hair. (via Jezebel) DAMN RIGHT. Brunettes rule. “Red stands for passion and when a man sees a redhead he will think he is dealing with a woman who...

It’s homeopathic inner crystal meth” –Jonathan Ames, author, on telling a story at The Moth New York StorySlam tomorrow night at The Nuyorican Poets Cafe. The theme is “Making Peace” although I think I might save myself for “Envy” on April 28. You just turn up and tell your story but be prepared to be judged. Background… The Moth, a not-for-profit storytelling...
I should have kept my mouth shut...
Trying to explain the fabulous tumblr to my mum this morning over Skype was a truly bad idea - now she’s worried about two things: -Internet stalkers/freaks (having told your story last week Erin I didn’t have much defence) - Me walking around dark alleys in Brooklyn (she has no concept of anything beyond Manhattan - come to think of it that’s true for many people living on the...

So Jay-Z and Beyonce chose the Holland Tunnel on a Friday evening to tie the knot. I actually think it’s the perfect location since my office is about 50 metres away (are we metric in this country?). Perhaps a little pic of Ken in our office (he is very excited about the seeing the happy couple).
Juno B-sides
Cult indie film ‘Juno’ was a huge hit earlier this year with its direct, irreverent dialogue and great soundtrack…. there are no plans for a sequel but on April 8th Juno B-Sides: Almost Adopted Songs,” will go on sale. It will be a 15-track collection available exclusively through iTunes for $9.99. I hope it lives up to the original!

Another diner (the best one) bites the dust
This sucks! Erin introduced me to the best diner in town last year and I took my parents for a real NY experience. What’s happening to the world. Last year my favorite White Raspberry cosmos were taken away and now this! brieflynoted: I was just reviewing some of the NY blogs that Rach just posted and I about dropped my coffee when I read via Vanishing New York that my FAVORITE diner in the...

On recommendation I’ve started reading this horoscope and it is frighteningly accurate…. Mars had entered Cancer in late September, but by mid-November 2007 went retrograde. Mars didn’t fully normalize for you until March. Too true… too true.
Hipsters and History →
On Friday I went to a Flavorpill ’One Step Beyond’ party at the Natural History Museum. This is the new hipster scene - people dressed to impress. Unfortunately no impromptu performance by Kayne West this time but no where else in the city would you have a crowd so fired up and ready to party at 10pm. Hitting the planitarium while tipsy was surreal - the universe spinning around you...
