I can’t believe John Vorwald wrote a lament about how much the Lower East Side has changed… SINCE 2003. Oh, fine. God bless, honey. I do remember when I first moved here and I used to take the J into Manhattan to Essex and Delancey and then would sort of run-walk up to the East Village with my head down. I mean, it wasn’t exactly the 1970s but we also didn’t leave the house without a...

There is nothing wrong with being civil.
My issue is with insincerity. I absolutely can’t stand fake people. I have far more respect for people I disagree with intensely who have the conviction to stand for what they believe, as much as I may think it’s horseshit.
If you allow yourself to get caught up in the “bland echo chambers of ego-stroking,” then you deserve to be...

I Wish I'd Seen This
For the record, Ulysses is one of my very favorite books. I’ve read it three times. Or, more honestly, two-and-a-half. I didn’t finish it the third time. I don’t remember why anymore.
Q. Is it true that at some point in the seventies, Goings On About Town used the listings for The Fantasticks to serialize James Joyce’s Ulysses?
Jon writes: Yes. The New Yorker began...

Celebrity Sighings in My Office Building, Vol. 93
John Malkovich just exited the building ahead of me as I was going out for my daily 12:30 p.m. smoke. He held the door for me and, as I said thanks, he turned to look at me. Our eyes met, and he looked away quickly. He was holding a large shopping bag, and has a beard these days. He’s completely gray, and pretty tall. He walked out into the crowd on the sidewalk and disappeared in the...

From Fire Dog Lake Health Care on the Road to Neo-Feudalism By: emptywheel Tuesday December 15, 2009 Excerpt:
….. Consider, first of all, this fact. The bill, if it became law, would legally require a portion of Americans to pay more than 20% of the fruits of their labor to a private corporation in exchange for 70% of their health care costs. ….. It’s one thing to require a citizen...

Climate Change
Everybody’s talking about the big conference in Copenhagen. Even Thom Yorke is there. But I live in New York. There’s very little nature here. Which is the way I like it. And I’m always wasting paper at work. On purpose. When people ask me about it, I say, If we weren’t meant to waste paper, trees would have legs.
HBO Sets Air Dates for Eagerly Awaited “Pacific” →
HBO will debut 10-part miniseries “The Pacific” March 14 and air an hourlong episode every Sunday through May 16.

Just volunteered myself. In addition to being one of the Chosen People, I’m also a self-proclaimed master of anything involving deep frying.
Also, grating potatoes is kind of fun in a stress relieving way.
