Three day weekend WIN and FAIL: WIN: Meaghan came to visit and see the new apartment. Meaghan weekends are the best weekends. FAIL: Ikea in Brooklyn. Our experience basically mirrored this, and we were so extremely frustrated that I just grabbed a dresser, a closet organizer, a couple of rugs, and got ...

Here we go again.

Good news: the loft question is settled, option 3 wins. In the end, I hate hitting my head on things. Bad news: new indecisiveness.Now, to ease the pain of moving into such a small space, I'm allowing myself the small comfort of a flatscreen television. The footprint of my current ...

I haven't been home in seven days — I'm tired, homesick, more than a little hungover, and generally crabby. I'm wearing jeans to work today because everything else I have with me smells like cigarettes and ass and might have body glitter on it. And I miss my cats.I'm about ...

Let’s go Rrrrrrrrrangers.

After spending all morning reading about how much I missed out on by failing to score the tightest ticket in town, I figured the Universe owed me one. But the best the Universe could do on short notice was drop club level tickets to the Rangers-Islanders game at Madison Square ...

No one touched the fruit plate.

Yesterday was a site launch day at work. (For Dave Siegel, who thinks I work at a bakery: yesterday we introduced a new loaf of bread to our bread inventory.)This was the first site we've launched for this particular publisher, and I had joked with him consistently over the course ...
