Right before he fell asleep at this play, Jesse brought it to my attention that I ended this blog rather abruptly - in the middle of my Brooklyncation, no less! That situation deserves to be rectified.It's an exciting time to be a cupcake - Netflix is now offering Charles in Charge on Instawatch, I have a great new career, the Funfetti is flowing and I attened a bris. All good things must come to

On my second day of Brooklyncation I rose late and after I finally showered, I dragged myself to the bakery across the street for a cappuccino and a double chocolate biscotti. Then I walked to the park (Prospect, natch) for some rest and relaxation in the shade. The park was full of mommies, nannies, lovers and losers. I watched a soccer coach lead a pee wee team through calisthenics. The

Thanks to SmartyPants, and then Jesse, for bringing this story to my attention. Apparently, the best-tasting tap water in this country is in Southampton, MA. Snore. But, (but!) the short list of finalists in the competition included my hometown, North Kingstown, RI. Frankly I am as shocked as you are. It's a fine, fine day to be a Skipper (my high school mascot.

Here are some examples of shacks from a fishing camp in the swamp (a real fish camp, not this kind). This area was only accessible by boat. It was difficult to tell if these shacks were destroyed in the storm, or if this is what they have always looked like.Not to sound like an idiot, but cruising around the swamp made me think of Kermit the Frog. I learned the difference between a bayou and a

No disrespect to the Big Easy, but I have been looking forward to having five days to bum around Brooklyn nearly as much as my trip to NOLA. There is something so decadent about cruising the leafy streets of Park Slope, laying around in the park and getting some leisurely shopping done while the rest of the grown-up world is at work (bartenders and hookers not included). Of course, in my neck

A quiet April Morning in the French Quarter. Not many tourists about (I was down there in between the French Quarter Festival and the Jazz Festival) but lots of conventioneers in town, absent-mindedly wearing their name badges everywhere they went. Also encountered several French tour groups.

Made a sizable donation to the video slots here. If you think casinos are loud places, you should hang out here. I was sitting at a bewitching penny slot machine, happily sipping away on a diluted cocktail when a full second line jazz band complete with mummers marched through the casino and halted 30 feet from me to try to drown out the standard casino din with some dixieland jazz.

Today Jesse and I went to the new Brooklyn Flea Market. He didn't think I would post this photo on my blog, but I just did. Today I learned something new about Jesse - he really hates Del Amitri. I was also unable to sell him on an album of all Regae covers of Radio Head songs. I guess we're still friends.

When I was home in Rhode Island, I was sitting at the kitchen table working on my father’s laptop. He kept distracting me by pointing out the antics of a squirrel outside. Then he told me that when he was a boy, they used to learn in school about all the rituals of springtime. For instance, they learned that the squirrels dig up all the nuts that they buried for the winter. He said his

Today on the subway I was sitting across from a man reading the New York Post. I saw that the cover story was about a pregnant man (Headline: "Pregnant Man's Baby Joy" and the man is holding a parrot, just to give you a visual here). Naturally, I thought this was an April Fool's Day story - then I remembered that today is April 4th. So I assumed the man across from me was reading a

As you may have heard, or as I may have told you with breathless exuberance, I resigned from my current position and accepted a great new job. I am very excited. When I start my new job, I will be shutting down this blog, so maybe now that there is an end in sight I have rediscovered my joie de blog. Adding to my sheer joy is the fact that I have taken two weeks off between gigs. I wanted to

Now that I will be losing my work email account and my Blackberry, I'm going to have to rely on my personal email account, something I have been dreading because every time I log in, my inbox is choked with special offer emails from retailers I presumably had a relationship with at some point.

Jesse is taking a little blogcation, so it is up to me to bring you this story of a free service that will punch people in the face for you. This must be part of that "kinder, gentler New York City" I've been hearing so much about.Here's someone I do not want to punch in the face - Drew Belstock.

Hello cupcakes. I just returned from a long weekend in Rhode Island. I saw two of my best friends from high school. It was great. Since I don't often experience suburban culture, I am always in for a surprise when I return home. For example, I can now report that they play Belle and Sebastian in Boston Market. Who knew?

Tonight I come to you with some very exciting news. I have joined my friend KJ's volunteer team for Hands On New York Day, sponsored by New York Cares.

It's 7:30 pm on a Saturday night and I'm sitting in my office. I've been here since 1:30 pm. An hour ago, I learned that I'm needed again tomorrow. It turns out that on the weekend, they don't run the climate control system in the office building; for some reason it's close and hot in here. Also, they are working on a major construction/demolition project that is taking place 15 feet from my

What the hell is this? I don't know, but it sat on the dining room table. My father would not let me touch it. We ate on the patio. He confessed that before I arrived, he ate standing up over the sink, desperate not to make a mess or break anything.

One of the reasons I love my neighborhood is because I'm so close to the Brooklyn Academy of Music, an amazing cinema and performance complex. Recently, though, when I've gone to purchase tickets for events they've already sold out. So, I decided I would not be caught unawares this time - I just went ahead and bought a few tickets and decided I could figure out later who to bring. So, I have

So, I may have mentioned that I'm stuck in Florida until the weather in New York clears up and I can fly home. Hopefully, I'll get out of here tonight. My aunt and uncle have come down and we're all staying in the condo togehter. These people are serial television channel flippers - my father can't keep one chanel on for more than 30 seconds, I actually get motion sick sitting in the same room

The other day I was reading a piece in Slate about how sites like CNN.com and MSNBC.com are resorting to "tabloid headlines" to draw web traffic. I have to admit, I clicked on just such a melodramatic headline and found this story about a fire in an apartment building in Germany where nine people were killed. These photos are breathtaking. The uncle of this baby boy, concerned that the smoke was

I have been recovering from being sick, so I cut out of the office at 5:45pm today, a ridiculously early time for me. I lumbered into my apartment building's vestibule at 6:30pm, dizzy from cold medication, and found two small packages for me thrown on the floor (this is how we do in Brooklyn). Mysterious impulse purchases I forgot about the moment after I clicked "check out now"? No, I

So, it recently came to my attention, (most likely via Plaxo) that I was about to turn another year older. I hastily cobbeled together a party which was a pretty neat trick seeing as how I didn't leave my office before 7:00pm during the week leading up to my party.

Thanks to everyone who sent birthday wishes. To my terrific friends who braved the cold to stand on a stoop and watch me blindly flail at a pinata - you did not drink enough beer. I am now accepting suggestions for what to do with all this beer that has taken over my fridge, e.g. donate it to a soup kitchen?

Happy New Year. There's a photo of the multi grain chocolate chip pancakes I made for myself on New Year's Day. Don't get excited - I used a mix. My resolution this year is to write something everyday. I have been inspired by Anne Lamott's book Bird by Bird which was a gift from ChickenMama on the recommendation of Confetti Jesse.

The other day I went to the Post Office on my lunch break (fourth circle of hell) to buy some holiday stamps for my Christmas Cards. Since I had plenty of time while standing in line at the Postal Store, I was able to inspect all the different kinds of stamps available for purchase, and I must confess I was smitten with the Vintage Mahogany Speedboat stamps, (ahem, nerd alert).

Well, well, well. Today I started my morning by removing my clothes and letting strangers pull down the back of my underwear, as has become custom. I went to see a "real doctor", as in a bone and joint specialist as opposed to my beloved Chiropractor in the West Village who lets her dogs run all over the office and chew on my sweater. I thought that the benefits of seeing a bone doctor would be

I have injured my back again and in the past few days have made the graceful transition from invalid to shut-in to pathetic shuffler in athletic sneakers. Words used to describe my back problem have included "endemic, like tooth decay" and "disc problem". I'm too exhausted to write about this with any vigor, but I will say that there is something frightening about being so vulnerable and alone

Halloween in New York City is a strange day - there is a festive tension that is poised to snap into something truly gruesome. In short, it's like an extreme version of a regular day in the city. For example, as you make your way around town, you might notice a few people dressed up in costumes, so then you go out of your way to look for people in costume. This quickly becomes a bad idea.

Every day on my way to and from work, I pass through Grand Central Terminal, a major transit, retail and tourist hub in East Midtown. And every day in the train station I pass a sexy lingerie store called The Pink Slip. I don't really know what the idea was in putting a lingerie store right at the top of the stairs to the 4,5 Train, but I'm pretty sure men were behind it. I would imagine it

I swear that the Kit Kats of my youth had more crunch to them.Last night I saw a good movie called Broken English. It was written and directed by Zoe Cassavetes and stars Parker Posey. I don't think I've ever met anyone who didn't love Parker Posey. While I wish the film had developed some relationships more, Posey really nails some moments of emotional truth. Also, after you watch this film

A week ago I was looking at the news back in Rhode Island on the Providence Journal Online when I saw that the ProJo had a big, multi-part series on a kid from my hometown who joined the Marines.

One of my co-workers sent me this story from the New York Times on a topic that I feel like we've covered here before: in towns across this country, many school districts are prohibiting parents from sending cupcakes to school to celebrate birthdays as another tool in their arsenal in war against childhood obesity.

There are many reasons why I choose to buy a book instead of borrow it from the local public library. Sometimes I want the prestige of putting it on my shelf, sometimes I know I'm going to want to read it over a long stretch of time, sometimes I know I'm going to want to lend it out to friends and sometimes the reasons are unique to the book. I bought "About Alice", Calvin Trillin's heartfelt,

For example, this weekend, I called them in a panic from the middle of Central Park. I was supposed to meet up with a group for a birthday picnic and I was totally lost.

I was sound asleep when a very loud, very close thunderstorm passed over my building, violent enough to set off every car alarm on the block. By the time I got out of bed about an hour and a half later the rain had stopped, but the city had fallen to shit. There were essentially no subways running into Manhattan from my area of

These days, walking in the zoo describes a day in the office, but I am reminded of just a few weeks ago when my dear corporate Oz sponsored a free weekend at the Bronx Zoo and I was able to get in for free and bring some friends. Not everyone was excited about the idea of trekking to the Bronx on one of the hottest Sundays of the summer, in fact, when I posed the idea in a gMail

Love is in the air - plus a whole lot of humidity. I caught sight of my reflection on the subway and thought I was staring at Sideshow Bob. Curly Hair girls, hollar! But this post is about weddings. In a few days, I will depart for San Francisco, where I will gather with my dear rag tag bunch of some one else's friends I infiltrated a few years ago to watch Angie and Joe tie the knot in Big

I don't read the NY Post - why would I? But as a subway commuter, I feel like it is my God given right on mornings when I have to stand for an 45 minutes to use that time read the headlines of the Post upside down on the laps of the fortunate commuters who managed to get a seat on the train (most likely by boarding in a place called "New Lots"). So, last Friday I saw a headline in the Post

Photo from the New York TimesAlthough this now semi-famous steam tunnel explosion happened six blocks from my office, I am fine. I was working at the time, and the smoke was visible from our windows, as were the thousands of people fleeing Grand Central running out onto the streets. Most disconcerting of all was the loud, persistent rumbling sound we heard. In a situation like this, not

This weekend, I had a dream that the song "Wake me up, before you Go-Go" had been added to the Broadway staging of Camelot. In my dream, I saw how this was possible. Also, a new character had been added to the dramatis personae: the town whore. This was weird because I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PRODUCTION OF CAMELOT, NOR HEARD THE ENTIRE SCORE. I believe this may make me a savant. When I awoke, I

Sometimes to get ahead in business, you have to go out drinking with the guys. It's a tough break, especially when some one else is picking up the tab, but hey, this is your career we're talking about. And sometimes, that will result in Friday mornings where you are holding on to the corners of your desk and spending an inordinate amount of time doing things like sorting the mail, and just

Slate.com has a new section of video content called Slate V. Imagine my joy when I saw that the inaugural video Explainer column tackled the very important and personal issue of exactly just how big (or how small) Rhode Island really is. So I watched this video. It did not explain anything.So now I will explain it to you. How can you understand the size of Rhode Island? Just picture a state

Hey guys, how did I get key lime pie inside my sandal? Can anyone answer that riddle?Here's a video about a homeless man who was living in a cave in the Bronx. A nun who works with the homeless up there was able to find him housing, but ultimately he felt more comfortable living in the cave than he did in his own clean apartment.

Last week, New York Magazine ran a really interesting piece where they did the profit (or loss) calculations for many of the stitches in the fabric of the city- everything from Goldman Sachs to a yoga studio, to a soup kitchen to a yellow cab. It was interesting to see how much money people are actually making, and how they earn it. You can find over twenty examples here. And here's an example

Last week I was walking through Grand Central relatively late at night, on my way down to the subway. There was a rough looking guy in a wheelchair. Although he had two legs, he also had a prosthetic leg on his lap and a duffel bag. As I passed him, he called out to me, "Can you push me? Hey, can you push me? You look like a strong woman!"I didn't look back, but I started giggling, probably

Here are some baby sweaters I knit recently. They are gifts for two guys in my office who recently became fathers. That's not 100% the truth, but it's close enough. Some people are very good at photographing their knitting projects, you get a sense of the project in proportion, a close up of the stitch work, etc.. I'm not good at photographing anything. Each of these sweaters is sized for a 12

So, some other stuff happened. Like, the Kentucky Derby happened. That is notable only because Confetti Jesse came to Brooklyn to go to a party and I crashed the party and we met for the first time in real non-blog life. I found him, as James Lipton would say, "delightful".At midnight everyone sang "My Old Kentucky Home" and we watched a tape of the Derby that had been run earlier that day,

By the way, in case you haven't picked up on the fact that I've just about lost all interest in writing this blog, let me assure you that I still enjoy reading web-based and print content. How about if I link to some here and then you can all not bother me about writing another post for a while?First there was this article about beer tourism in Germany which I enjoyed, having sampled Koelsch and

Well, now that I've let the suspense build up, I guess I can go ahead and let you know that I did not perish at my corporate mandated afternoon of hell, I mean, paintball. Didn't mean to keep you on pins and needles, but it's been very busy for me- taking on new responsibilities and challenges at work, I've had a lot of friends from out of town visiting me, I had to train the helper monkey to

You will not believe it. Long story short - annual company offsite: overnight trip to Philadelphia, meeting in the morning, dinner and drinks and hijinks at night, oh, and in between three hours of paintball. Yes, capture the flag style paintball played, rain or shine, on a closed course of six fields in two teams of highly competitive, mostly male traders, financial analysts and

Yahoo! mail has introduced a new embedded chat feature, not as good as GChat, but it makes it possible to send IMs while you're in the mail screen without downloading anything. Do we care? Not really. But it's yet another feature that makes use of your Yahoo! avatar if you've created one. I created an avatar a while ago that looks nothing like me and freaks me out to boot, so in an attempt to

If you live in New York City, chances are you've seen these guys. They're all over the city, playing in the subways and public spaces with the guy with the green trumpet and the Tuba for God's sake, and if you're like me, if you're not too tired on your commute home you might pause for a minute to listen to the incredibly huge music they produce before your eyes, and then hurry on your way again

One of my co-workers went on a site visit and took some photos with a disposable camera (remember those?). He wanted to use up the roll of film, so he took some shots in the office. I think they pretty much capture the atmosphere of Oz beautifully, but since I don't have permission from the people in the photos, who don't know this blog exists, I'll just post a few.This photo from taken far away
