  • Spring Fever

    Spring Fever

    It’s been a crazy week, folks.  It seems like warm weather and sunshine is bringing out the crazeballs in everyone.  My workweek was long but not uneventful: Late night Dylan’s Candy Bar run! instagram.com/p/YZG8QEOS7b/ — Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) April 22, 2013 And I am currently listening to a full-scale fiesta happening above me, at one…

  • The Walking Dead Google Reader

    The Walking Dead Google Reader

    I’m the latest princess to the party, but I just started watching The Walking Dead and I’m afraid it may replace sleep.  Who needs sleep?  ZOMBIES!  And also, who can sleep?  ZOMBIES! Speaking of things that are dead-but-not-entirely-dead, Google Reader!  I’m also the last person to mourn that Google Reader is gone.  And at first…

  • Beyond Belief

    Beyond Belief

    Today’s Scintilla Project prompt (I can’t believe it’s almost over waaaah!) is to write about something incredible and unbelievable.  Sorry to say, I always do and always have.  If you want, you can re-read about: …the time I pulled at the laundromat :                     “Thirty minutes later, the laundry owner approached me with the…

  • Never Turn Your Back, Not For A Second

    I have referred to this incident in the past, now I will share in detail what caused me to learn the harsh life lesson “never fall asleep with your back to a stranger.” Back over Thanksgiving, I had set my mind that I was going to spend the holiday visiting my family, regardless of the…

  • All My Chobits

    Thanks to the Crazy, Tragic, Sometimes Magic Michael, I have learned about the Scintilla Project, with writing prompts.  I LOVE BEING PROMPTED.  Really, you only have to prompt me to do something and I’ll usually do it. Which brings me to today’s prompt – a time when you were drunk before you were allowed to…

  • Think Pink

    Think Pink

    I have already come out of the My Little Pony closet, but today I reach a little further in to bring out something a bit embarassing – the love I have for Pinkie Pie. Look at them crazy eyes.  That there’s True Love. If you’re familiar with the show, you’ll understand when I say that…

  • Business in the Front, Potty in the Back

    I think it’s time for some potty humor, don’t you? So I’m in the Time Warner Building.  I’m in the restroom.  Early morning.  Which I know from experience is where fancy businesspeople come to do their, uh, pre-business business. This lady walks into the stall next to me an her phone rings.  She answers, in…

  • A Peek At… MoMA

    A Peek At… MoMA

    MoMA will blow your mind.  Go on a Friday after 4:00.  It’s crowded but free and you will NOT believe the crazyfamous art that you will see like this one and this one and this one But don’t bring your pet cat, because pet cats ruin everything.  Especially furniture.  See? Museum of Modern Art –…

  • Holy Bible, Batman!

    *ding dong* I’m not expecting company… “[mumble mumble] Diaz?” a strong, authoritative man’s voice on the other side of the door. Uh oh.  Is someone in trouble?  Someone named “Diaz”?  They have the wrong person!  I don’t want anyone knocking my door down! I do a quick check in the bathroom mirror on my way…

  • Not Okay, Cupid. Not Okay.

    Seeing as how it is Valentine’s Day, most of you are enjoying romantic dates with your cherished significant others. I, being insignificant, am single.  And as such, I thought I would take this opportunity to regale you with some horror stories from the single side of life.

  • Thanks for the Consideration, MTA

    Apparently, according to the MTA, the biggest problem facing New Yorkers is NOT the rising costs, the decrease in service, the unpredictability of the trains, higher cost and less service.  It’s people getting hit by trains. People.  Getting hit.  By trains. Something that usually only happens of one’s own volition, or due to complete human…

  • Very Superstitious

    Very Superstitious

    My ghost-tourists often ask me, “Do you believe in ghosts?”  I don’t like to answer because I encourage them to keep an open mind but I will admit to being fairly superstitious.  Is it even possible to be superstitious and an atheist at the same time?  Please keep an open mind for me. MONEY  …

  • Get Creative!

    This.  THIS.  Is my favourite YouTube video of all time.  I dare you to watch it to the very end.

  • True Life:  I’m Becoming a Narwhal

    True Life: I’m Becoming a Narwhal

    Let’s play an awesome game.  It’s called, What Is Eating Me Alive??? Is it: 1.  A spider 2.  Mosquitos 3.  Fleas 4.  Mysterious blood-sucking fruit flies? Or is it possible that I’m merely sprouting a magical horn from my forehead that, when ground into a poultice, will cure diseases? And the questions just keep coming.…

  • Always Bring Your Own Bags to Trader Joe’s

    Always Bring Your Own Bags to Trader Joe’s

    Trader Joe’s has the greatest stuff.  Succulent baked tofu.  Delectable peanut butter salted caramel truffles.  And adorable hipster cashiers. I stopped in there last week for some groceries and that’s it, I swear.  The cashier-director directed me towards a tall, lithe, curly-moppped cashier with glasses.  Swoon. I placed my groceries on the register and pulled…

  • On the Bright Side, There’s Always the Dark Side

    If anyone has yet to see it, Todd and the Book of Pure Evil is the funniest undiscovered* TV show available on Netflix for Instant Streaming.  The show combines outrageous humour (presumably this much raunch is totally allowed in Canada) with quick dialogue.  If Season One of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was an over-the-top campy…

  • One in a Million

    One in a Million

    On any given day, there are literally millions of people walking the streets of New York City at any given time. Probably hundreds of them are walking Pomeranians. Waiting at the light to cross Madison at 59th Street just a little past 5:00pm, I spotted one such Pomeranian.  On this given day, I felt a…

  • Christmas Traditions:  Pour Some Festive Sugar On Me

    Christmas Traditions: Pour Some Festive Sugar On Me

    It wouldn’t be Christmas without Christmas cookies, now would it?  This is my second post about Christmas cookies and regardless of the fact that I never find myself actually eating any (why is this?), the baking of Christmas cookies is always such an important part of having a real, family Christmas.  Mom, remember the baklava? …

  • Extinct

    Extinct

    During the aftermath of Sandy, I took a few long walks to get out of the house and out of my brain.  I walked the Upper West Side and spotted a relic of the past, a dinosaur thought to be long extinct:

  • Sometimes Silver Linings…

    Sometimes Silver Linings…

    …are made of tin foil. Like, for instance, when you’re on an awkward date at Chipotle, and it’s really really cold, and your hands are freezing.  You buy yourself some tacos, force some awkward conversation, and end up finding a pair of leather gloves! And also, a flying crane made out of burrito wrappers.
