I guess the countdown to southern Spain has begun. Only 'cuz I'm running out of stuff to do until then. I don't even know if my small suitcase is enough for the trip and if I'll have to shell out for another one. I've got places to stay for my first two stops the first week, but beyond that all I have is a list... Read More
This on the morning I was going to spew in my journal about listening to some free opera under the stars and planets last night in Central Park. Unbelievably therapeutic. I totally needed that.
And open containers of booze in public, woohoo!!!
(as long as you were white and it was a bottle of wine)
It's like finals week at college for me this week. Crazy deadline by the end of this week for work. String of all-nighters, followed by well-deserved time off. I'm doing an online grading system for Fordham Law School, going live next week. If i can get all my i's dotted and all my t's crossed, I could look pretty good when it's all done.
Accomplishments, Left-and-Right
I got loads of awesomeness out of the way this weekend:
-Finally got some sun at the beach on Sunday.
-Went for a glorious 15-mile bike ride on Saturday from Brooklyn into Manhattan and up the Hudson River all the way up to 112th Street and back. It was an absolutely flawless day. I discovered they do free kayaking all summer on the... Read More
I just did a DJing gig tonight. I haven't done that in over a year. I was nervous as hell, and hopelessly unprepared. I ended up having such a great time, and everything flowed nicely. A little bit of TLC put into the effort, and it all worked out so much better than I thought it would. Krrn came for like five seconds, but I... Read More
I've been on this sort of life-cleanse binge this summer. It's been more about minimizing the number of things I either was paying attention to, or have been promising myself for too long that I would get around to paying attention to. I had no idea how much clutter I had (in a literal and a figurative sense) that I should have just never taken... Read More
You get to wondering whether it's really just because nothing's been going on that you haven't posted in forever.
I can happily report that everyone _around_ me is doing cool stuff. Summer hasn't been much of a summer for me. Haven't been to the beach once. That's awful for me; I'm a total sun whore. I've been too much of an air conditioning fiend to... Read More
I've never been to Spain but it's definitely on my list! Is this your annual "trip to someplace awesome?" My sister lived in Madrid for two years a long time ago... seems like another lifetime. I was in college and didn't have time to visit her. She brought home a fiance but the cultural differences got the best of them and they eventually split. Such a romantic story, really...
I can't be perky or beamy b/c the heat has wilted me. Check back in late Spetember!
ps I HATE the beach in summer. From October through April, I love it though. Same with the sun.
I have this conversation with myself about five or six times a year:
"Hmm. Let me give this new band a listen."
"Whoah. I dig this new band."
"Let's see if they're playing in town any time soon."
"Well, it is New York City. Every band plays here."
Felt so good to be back seeing a band last night. I don't even remember who the last group I saw was, but I definitely used to check out live music more often. Radio 4 far exceeded my expectations, and even my friend's, who hadn't even heard their music before. Fun show, for sure.
Responsibilities caught up to me and piled up this week. I... Read More
nah..cos i'd rather bump into someone i care about
i mean of course it would still be cool to bump into demi moore! but i would rather bump into kristen bell!
My concert days are few and far-between these days, too! My last show was NIN/Bauhaus-- AWESOME!!!
You should hit the Siren Festival at Coney Island today... It'll be crazy crowded and hot as fuck, but it's FREE and there are some good bands playing (She Wants Revenge, one of my latest faves, and Scissor Sisters, love them too!)

Irked, bordering on upset, that I'm gonna have to miss the East Coast Camping Trip this year. If you're considering it and you're on the fence, GO!! It's the bomb. Best friggin' game of Spin the Bottle I ever did see.
But alas, I'm going to be between two business trips that weekend and have to totally miss out.
I've been watching and tracking World... Read More
