Somehow a late Friday night stretched into a very bright, early Saturday morning. We rally against sleep's onslaught. Is there a better time for the beach than winter?


An original, the former Child's Restaurant. And in the background to the right, the lights around Keyspan Park, home of the Brooklyn Cyclones and some vunderbar musical events.



The parachute jump.



Awh yeh. You know how I do.




Uncaptioned.



At his house there is time to dream.



W. 19th and Boardwalk. How this place will fill a few months from now, but today it's just seagulls and sand.

Except the aquarium.


Could there be a cooler job than cleaning the coral?



Chris made special friends with the iguana.


We were lucky enough to get there at feeding, or in this case, inhaling time.



Where else are you going to see a blind walrus getting a bellyrub?

A few hours later on the other side of Brooklyn,


we came upon someone's old home in a burnt out Friendship truck.

A Tip of the Hat to Substance

This is why "we" love New York:

Here we go... get up at 6, walk the dogge, work all day, run errandy errands that need to get done, run the dogge at the park down the street, stuff some "dinner" down... you know what I am talking about... some crap like instant microwaveable couscous. Take a shower, be a girl for ten minutes while I play the "What will you wear? Try it all on!" Game, dry my hair, rock the eyeliner, and hit the highway. It's 9:40 by the dashboard clock. At ten I am parked on Ave A off 2nd at a meter that doesn't need to be fed after seven. There are spots everywhere. All the cars have left the borough.

Get
there earlier than expected but ended up catching an opener that put the band I originally wanted to see to absolute shame. Shame shame shame on you, Levy for playing for like a half hour. What are we rock stars or something?! Not quite. Just a handful of guys on the Lower East Side playing an eight dolla show, so please, try playing past 11:35. Just try it. You might get people to smile or maybe even rock out. The possibilities are endless.

From there drive on over to Red Hook, see some good people, talk to some new people, dabble in the illicit and roll home well, let's just say, early in the morning. Bad bad bad crabby!

But would you not agree that every now and then, there is something wonderful about driving home as the sun is just peeking up, casting gold aspersions on every brick and pane in its wake? It is a gorgeous thing. If you've never seen it, stay up just ONE night, doofus. Your life will be better for the lapse of respectability.


You know what else I like? I like knowing what streets to drive through to catch the smells of industrial-sized bakeries getting the breads going for the day, or the distinct whiff of coffee.

Actually I should be just as ashamed of my home-ETA (on a WEDNESDAY night!, as one friend commented) as Levy should be of their pathetically short setlist. And now as I think of it, for their sakes, I hope that is not indicative of how they operate in bed.


Moral of the story, every once in a while stay out so late it's early, and go see these guys instead.

Monica Keena Gets Fugged


Thanks Pasc for passing this along from some of the best of the bad at Go Fug Yourself. This is what they had to say:

Monica Keena bought this for her Skating With Celebrities audition,
but that didn't pan out, so she repurposed it. And, sure, her chest looks very perky-if-pancaked, but the rest is just so very Laura Ingalls Wilder in Little Salchow On The Prairie.
In seventh grade the chorus I was in went on a trip to Marblehead, MA to sing at another school with another group of kids and see some sights in Boston, etc. Monica and I ended up being assigned to live at the same girl's house. I think her name was Jennifer but I can't remember now. I do remember that she had a distinct affinity for Axl Rose, particularly how his spandex pants stretched over, well, you get the picture.

The first time she left us alone in the room, Monica and I looked at each other, like... uh, is she for real? We were from a world where boys were still just cute and you were sorta shy about playing games like Spin the Bottle, not where you looked at a bulge first and had a cigarette later.

She said, "I'm glad I didn't have to come here alone."

I know what you mean.

We weren't really friends, before or after the trip. Just then, it was cool having her around. And to be honest, though sometimes it is really hard to watch people of your own age becoming super successful, I kinda secretly always enjoy watching her performances when I can catch them. It escorts me ever so slightly to the days of bad middle school productions, and I love that sort of thing.

All that aside, what was she thinking with that outfit? And um, my goodness, the two emergency floatation devices she had installed?

It's Coming Down

Though many a late November walking home from the train station in the wee hours, I have caught the city putting up the holiday decorations, I never once saw them come down. Somehow it made me feel better to see it. They didn't just disappear one day, as usual. So, happy end of holidays.



Oh and check the old school soda shoppe sign a couple stores away from a Burger King. Oh yeah. This is where I'm from.

(This is when she was) Barely Legal

An old picture for an old friend; a girl lucky enough to have theme songs by both the Beatles and GN'R.

Happy Birthday, Michelle. We dreamed lots in high school under perfect skies. Here's hoping the next blankety-blank (a girl never tells her age) years start to see the pay-out for all the effort you've put into making yours happen. You are a super-hero!

It's Catching!

Martin has googlized himself.

So too has Kiri.

If you are enjoying this at all, I highly recommend moseying on over to their sites and checking it out. They both know how to wield a pen under pressure.
