The final product! It was awesome - Jesse made the best brussel sprouts I’ve ever had, and the fish was perfectly cooked. So good!!!!

jesseboy:

In 1902, Father built a house at the crest of the Broadview Avenue hill in New Rochelle, New York. And it seemed, for some years thereafter, that all of the family’s days would be warm and fair.

While not perfect (but still very good), the new Ragtime (not shown here) on Broadway is a far better alternative to Bye, Bye, Birdie.

michaelikesit:

Imagine Los Angeles without cars. A town where people ride their bikes and walk in the streets and the smells of tacos and veggie burgers drift through the air instead of exhaust.

Sound like a pipe dream? Not if a group called cicLAvia is successful. A volunteer coalition of bicycle advocates, transportation experts, artists and academics, cicLAvia wants to make Sundays in Los Angeles virtually car-free — transforming the city’s streets into giant bike lanes and creating a public space that connects every neighborhood in the city.

— latimes.com

Aren’t Sundays in downtown Los Angeles pretty much car-free anyway? It’s like a ghost town without anyone going to their 9 - 5.

of quitting soda.

i would say that 98% of what i drink during the week is water. on my 4th glass this a.m. LOL

soda of choice: Coke Zero

May I suggest sparkling water, if you’re into that. Totally kicked my soda habit (but now am helplessly addicted to seltzer - but at least it doesn’t have all the sugar and additives).

Form Spring Me Hard!

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:23:00 -0500

So here are a few holdovers from yesterday’s Form Springery:

How long have you lived in New York?

In about 5 days, I will have been in NYC for 2 years. I lived in LA for 2 before that, and Chicago for 4 before that (at university). I’ve loved each place I lived, in a very different way (only I love Chicago a little less than the other two - being a Cali-boy, I just can’t do the winters).

what are your hobbies? like-what do you do for you? (submitted by warren - thanks, buddy!)

Cooking. Hands-down my favorite thing to do is turn on the record player (no, I’m not that old, I just love the sound of vinyl and can buy awesome old treasures for mere dollars), pour a glass of wine, and cook something up. It’s what relaxes me after a stressful day of work. Other major hobby would be eating, which I separate from cooking - I love finding new and innovative restaurants, whether it’s a hole in the wall, or a new 3-star Micheline. I would say “foodie,” but that just sounds so trite.

I also love to travel and love to learn about language(s) - those things are often related, but not necessarily.

When in god’s name are you going to decide to make millions off of marketing Puck as a Sanrio-like character?

Denny, you wanna be his agent? (Dennis thinks Puck - pictured below with Nobel Peace Prize - is rife for Sanrio-esque cartoon and line of silly animal toy products…he may be on to something):

Keep those ?s coming!

This is beyond amazing. I love how Judy surprises herself at the end for being able to hit that last note <3

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:07:00 -0500

Please promise me you will never see this, ok! I’m serious! I don’t know many of you, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care for your well-being. Please head my advice: save your money and your sanity and for the love of GOD, do not go see this.

We left at intermission. It being a musical and all, I was surprised that there was not a sung musical note (and not for lack of trying). It was the laziest, sub-high school production I’d ever seen. I won’t even waste more text telling you how awful it was - it is literally not worth the 1s and 0s.

Someone should start a V-for-Vendetta style campaign against Roundabout Theatre. They must be stopped!

Bye, Bye, Adie

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:13:43 -0500

On my way to get shithoused (did I amke that word up?) before seeing Bye, Bye, Birdie the notoriously crappy production at Roundabout.

May God have mercy on my soul.

Puck has good taste?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:26:36 -0500

So my adorable pup, Puck (pictured above) has been watching a lot of television lately. Last night Barbara and I were watching America’s Next Top Model with him on the couch. We got up to go make dinner, leaving the dog with the paused TV (the image was frozen on the girls’ underwater challenge).

Two minutes after we walk into the kitchen, Puck starts barking and going APE SHIT. Background: he’s usually pretty quiet, and rarely barks. So we walk into the living room and he is sitting under the television, looking straight up at one of the models frozen in time and in water, howling at her.

I think he either really hates ANTM, or is just a really good judge of submarine smizing.

Anyway, fast forward to this afternoon when I receive this email from the boyf:

“today as I finished ANTM, the tv turned on THE STUPIDS and Puck started having a fit…this begs the question: does puck have great taste (GET TOM ARNOLD OFF THE TV) or does he genuinely get disappointed when Top Model ends?”

You decide!

Directional reblog to strongly encourage Vicky (and others) to VIEW THE HTML SOURCE ON THIS PAGE

Um, amazing. Also, the actual page is useful. I keep battling with the previous generation here at work on the uselessness of using an apostrophe for things like “Company’s Picnic” (GARRRR PEOPLE! Just make the noun an assumptive adjective and go with “Company Picnic” or “Parents’ Dinner” just write “Parents Dinner” - everyone knows it’s for the parents! You don’t don’t need to cloud things by making people think they own the dinner). CONSTANT BATTLE

I would find great pleasure in enlarging this to poster size and hanging it above my couch. It’s such a hateful message, but also so over the top that it becomes camp (especially situated in our living room), and we all know camp is our special purview. (Ask Sontag). The hateful sentiment would be subverted by humor, neutering the homophobia while at the same time highlighting the sheer ludicrousness of these hateful signs.
