The Hat Of All Evil

It is no secret that New Yorkers are a sour bunch.  They take their *toughest people in the toughest city in the world* slogan very seriously and then of course they put it into practice in the *if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere* slogan by being in a sense bullies.
None [...]

Videos of the Week: Ryan Adams’ “New York, New York” and Madonna’s “I Love New York”

I know, I know, you don’t have to say it: this New York obsession part honeymoon of mine is getting to the point that even I am gonna barf at how sickly and eye-rolling annoying is getting. It’s all I can seem to talk about! It’s even worse because I used to make fun of [...]

It looks like New York But It Feels More Like London Or Seattle.

It is insanely cold and rainy right now–no, that’s not a complain, to the point that I wonder if I haven’t somehow teleport to Seattle or London instead.

It is so frozen-wet, even the usually fearless rats have taken refuge.  I don’t mind it, though I have to admit the wind has a sick tendency of [...]

Village Halloween Parade (NYP Update #2): The Dragon.

For those new to what’s going on, a month and some change ago I moved to NYC and wanting to become involve with everything the city has to offer, I decided to volunteer for the New York Village Halloween Parade, because a) I love Halloween (who doesn’t?) my fave holiday, and b) I figured that on [...]

One Month In….

… And i’m exhausted.  (I was supposed to write this yesterday–the actual one month celebration date, but I was taking a day long nap) I’ve been all over the place and there still are areas I have yet to visit/discover. I took the day off of exploring NYC to just lay in bed and rest. [...]

The Less Observed Side of New York

(this is another post that should have pictures to help along but as I pointed out, we are camera-less for the time being so bear with me)
I spent all of last night celebrating the awesome weather (high was 53, low was 46) and the arrival of Fall by……. what else? Drinking!! It is me after [...]

The Classics: PJ Harvey’s “Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea”

She’s done so much good stuff before and taken us through wild, riveting, gritty, even chaotic but always mesmerizing journeys, yet nothing could prepare us for the majestic beauty of what it’s in my opinion PJ Harvey’s Magnum Opus: Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea.

PJ Harvey was in love during the recording of the album [...]

In Times of Turmoil……

I experienced my first “bomb” scare yesterday, as a cellphone was left in a subway car and everyone thought it was a bomb.  Later on, there was something in the tracks and the subway I happened to be in plus other ones started blowing their horns in agitation and everyone panicked in a way I [...]

We Now Return To Your Regularly Scheduled Program Already In Progress

Apparently a lot of things happened and yet none too important to me to feel like I seriously missed something.
It’s been crazy in the big apple but lots and lots of fun, I feel like a completely new cylon model, full of energy and ready to decimate humanity or save them from themselves….wich ever comes [...]
