Dogboarding

Grab your pup and go sidewalk surfing with me. No animals were harmed in the making of this video. Don’t harm animals, dummy.

True Romance

My first awareness of Elizabeth Taylor was in the 80′s. She had perfumes. She was friends with Michael Jackson. She had been married a lot. Sometimes she was on talk shows. She had that over-tucked, over-dyed, plastic look that makes older celebrities look really scary. I didn’t really know who she was beyond that. It wasn’t [...]

His initial aim was to lay down some marvelous music in an organic manner, open to whatever direction the tunes took during the recording [...]

My Favorite Commercial

This Aiwa commercial ran in the 90′s and every time I hear the Queen song “Another One Bites the Dust” I think of it. It’s so patently offensive that I can’t imagine that it ran for very long. I’m also guessing that because whenever the song comes on, I can’t help but mention the commercial, [...]

Lady Luck

Living in New York for the last fourteen years, I have amassed a really wonderful group of smart, talented, and supportive female friends. Unfortunately, our varied professions and scattered personal lives make it difficult to get together (as a group) on a regular basis. In fact, I think we talk about it more over emails, [...]

From Birth to Age Ten in 85 Seconds

One of the things I love about the internet is the weirdness of it. It offers so many peeks into the odd behavior of other human beings, which can often be cringe-inducing, but when it isn’t, can just be fascinating to look at. Seeing all the strangeness that’s out there tends to have the effect [...]
