HAPPY THANKSGIVING FAMILY

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FAMILY! I feel very lucky to have you all in my life. Since I am missing a lot of the events in NYC, I was hoping we could start thinking about the next family vacation. Thoughts?

Mid-week Smooth Jam Interlude

Feels like this song NEEDS to be on this blog.

(...damn, it looks like you have to sign in to imeem to listen, though I didn't have to when I first found it. I hate all this music protection. There's no youtube. Anyone have any idea how I can post a playable version of this song?)

Missing NYC

Here's the deal. NYC is where I feel most complete; there, my soul becomes one with an energy that inspires me to be my best person, produce my best work. I have come to realize that more as I have had the opportunity to connect with my friends, my city, my pugs, throughout 2009. Throwing the football with Raju, Ben, and Bird while Christy read on a jacket just made me feel good--you know, like I just ate a comfort meal on a snowy day while drinking hot cocoa in a large picture window, with a pug on my lap. Thus, I have decided to get back to the city. Serioulsy this time. Let's see what 2010 brings.

Manny Please stay away from Dr. Conrad Murray




What the Ef is up with Sammy Sosa!? Sammy we saw how this ends! "This is it." Apparently he's having a "skin rejuvenation treatment."

Instead of mumbling angst

This is what Where the Wild Things Are should have been channeling.





Renata Adler on The Monster:

"Cookie is a fanatic, undeviating in the quality of his obsession. He eats things. Many lessons on Sesame Street are terminated when something eats them. But Cookie, who has of late been eating mainly cookies, is a junkie. "To me, your nose is a cookie," he once said to another Muppet in a desperate moment. When cookies arrive, he tends to eat the entire shipment, but he is moved to empathy at the sight of a human being temporarily deprived of a cookie."

Womens College Soccer: More badass than UFC

This is perhaps the most fiercely contested sporting event I've ever seen.

This is for you Mattie

I too was interested to see how the pugs dressed up this year, so I went and yoinked this off of facebook.

Wedding Present!

For all the couples out there. I ran across this doing yoga research. Put all reports from the field in the comments section.



Also a gem of a headline:
