I just finally, and officially, and quite belatedly, deleted my long-defunct myspace account. RIP, I guess. Anyway, I copied my blog from over there, and in the archives, I found this little gem and decided to repost. It's an account of my first steps towards my move to New York, and with some 20/20 hindsight, it now strikes me as just hysterical. At the time, of course, I wanted to pull my

and according to Ali, it looks very like a Leapfrog Learning Pad. This is probably due to the facts that it is a) 10 inches wide, and b) pink. Come to think of it, the pink factor is pretty damning. If you haven't yet played with a netbook, go find one that you can play on (or for that matter, call me), because these things are tiny technological marvels. I've got a full-on computer that

When I tell people that I live in Carrol Gardens in Brooklyn, I say this with a small amount of creative license: I technically live 1/2 of a block into a neighborhood called Red Hook. That 1/2 block is comprised of a quick jaunt across a highway, which lowers my rent and jacks up the noise level, but my actual address isn't the subject of iteration today. The bright, shiny moment of my morning

You know it's going to be a rough morning when you wake up to the alarm clock, roll over to look out of the window, and think, "Gray day - grumble - rain boots...," and then realize it's not actually gray from *rain* as much as it's just *still dark*. (Sigh)I had to get to work by 8:00 this morning to connect a certain director to a certain live radio interview. It appears that at some point

Dude: How do you figure out how much a car will cost after, like, taxes and fees and stuff?Me: Well, say the car costs $35,000 - 10% of that is $3,500. With sales tax at 8% and titling and fees, add that 10% to the cost of the car, making the total... more or less $38-39,000.Dude: Wow... did you, like, go to school for math or something?Me: (face palm)

I sent this in an email to my boss, just to share the assaninity of the situation he'd placed me in.(Edited for annonymity. Duh.)*A brief interlude from this morning, just for your amusement:S: Can you run to the store and grab some milk? We'll give you some petty cash.Me: Sure, no problem.S: It has to be *skim*.
