A while ago I read this book. Now I’m reading this book which has led me to listen to this song on repeat (as I will so often do when I need something to really sink in). And if you head on over to the Wikipedia page for that song and scroll down to Legacy, [...]
This was the opening act for Yo La Tengo at the last McCarren Park Pool Party of the summer. They were certainly entertaining to watch, but the sound coming out of the speakers wasn’t too good and it was hard to understand what exactly was going on. But they definitely had some good drum beats. [...]
I’ve begun to believe that there is a direct relationship between the amount of dirt encrusted into your hair/clothes/skin and how hip you are. Actual location: 2nd ave at St. Mark’s Place. More photos to come on Flickr (once I get around to going through them).
Excellent places to visit on the hippest street in Manhattan:
St [...]
Yesterday I went to the last McCarren Park Pool Party of the summer. The first two bands were a little strange, but Yo La Tengo pretty much rocked my world (as a first time listener). You can definitely tell a professional band from amateur by the quality of sound that comes out of the mikes. [...]
All that smog makes the skyline look pretty surreal. Not particularly beautiful, but interesting nonetheless.
As the days are obviously getting shorter, which means we’re getting that much closer to the dreadful ice and snow, I’ve been trying to snap lots of photos of the city in the midst of its summertime goodness. Oh, I know what you’re thinking, “Fall fashion is so great!” Not as great as sundresses and [...]

This has led me to analyze every opposite sex [...]
This girl is my cousin, former roommate, and best friend. She is pretty much the most fun person I know and always makes me feel better if I’m having a bad day. Or week. Or month. I’ve had a pretty rough few days involving, but not limited to, a bike crash and that gut-wrenching overall [...]
Do you really think the Empire State Building will last 2,000 years? I certainly don’t. It’s too tall and skinny and made of things like glass which can break and metal which can melt. I sure hope I get proven wrong.
Anyway, just pretend you see the lions and gladiators and women who look like goddesses. [...]
Going through the archives of my escapades through Europe, I realized that although I have an insatiable appetite for travel, I’ve already seen some really cool things (like this sweet astronomical clock in Prague) and been to some beautiful places (like here and here). All have been invaluable experiences. There’s a lot of world to [...]
