After a day of feeling tired, cranky and out-of-sorts, I awoke rejuvenated. Who knows how long it will last–there’s nothing like work to sap your energy.
I can’t believe that tomorrow is December 1. Chanukah is next week, and while it isn’t a major holiday, I am debating whether to make poptoes pancakes. Ideally, I would [...]
Well…I did it. I got up at 6:20 and did the 3.4 miles loop (12:40/mile) of the Park before work and still managed unexpectedly to get here by 9.
There always something going on when you run…this morning there was a guy wearing all yellow, including his pants. It was like watching a running traffic signal. [...]
I get my breakfast at a local Greek diner. I love my diners. Yesterday when I was there, a Chinese woman came in and sat at the counter. She shouted, “Two Egg Any Style! Two Egg Any Style!” in a relatively heavy probably Cantonese accent. Having diner-ese shouted like that made me laugh. She seemed [...]
I’ve gotten a lot done today. It was one of those rare work days in which I am absorbed completely by my task…ah. Very nice.
I am talking to myself a lot about the run that I’m planning to do on Thursday morning. I am telling myself that I need to prioritize one morning run. Thursday [...]
Thanks to a heads up from Harriet, I am listening to the Nellie McKay program from the Fresh Air website. She is hilarious and on a rainy Monday it is a welcome respite from the drear. My favorite quote about her was in the Village Voice and attributed to a drag queen, “McKay recently smirked to an [...]
There was a lot that I enjoyed about TG–the Sugar Cream pie was astoundingly good, I enjoyed having it at my place despite all the prep drama. The 5 mile Turkey Trot was great. It was my third trot and I was pleased with my time–56:15 or 11:15 pace. R and I were talking bout [...]
My mom just left…and I’m sad. The three days went by quickly for me, despite spending most of yesterday hacking up a lung and napping.
TG was uneventful–the company was good and the mother did a good part of the work. She denies it, but it’s true. And I have company coming soon–I’m looking forward to [...]
I’m chilling out a little about TG. After I broke my coffeepot in an attempt to wipe up some grounds, I stepped away from the tantrum and got some perspective (as well as a new pot).
I’m about to go pick up a pie from a woman who is raising $$ for cancer in honor of her [...]
I am not a neat person–everyone knows that. I’m trying to keep my irritation at bay that my apartment is not cleaner; it’s reasonably CLEAN, but there is disorder everywhere. I just broke my coffee pot trying to fix a tiny part of the disorder. I remind myself that everyone knows that I am not [...]
I think it’s funny that some news outlets have picked up this story that many NYU students would give up their right to vote for a million dollars.
So what? I think most people would forfeit a right to vote for a million dollars, or college tuition for their kids, or a new house, new car. How [...]
