I’M ENGAGED!

IMG00104-20110129-0010

Thought that was worth all caps. Date to be determined. Location: somewhere in Hawaii if we can swing it. Oh, and I really need to look into some insurance for the ring. The Internets told me I could add a rider onto my apartment insurance, which would be great, if I had any.

Writing Again

So, I was motivated to start writing again by the efforts of both my Dad and my friend Jen Stevens, who was kind enough to pressure me into joining her writing group. A fun bunch, who give good constructive criticism, the hardest thing was to get back into it. Then I took a look at …

Elevator Encounters

This is why cities are fun. I walk back to my apartment at 12:15am, after seeing Green Zone in the movie theater that is two blocks from my hose (score one for expensive Manhattan apartment). There is a guy who has walked behind me for an entire block who also enters. The doorman appears to …

Officially De-Registered

So, as you all know from reading my blog about my time spent living in the Netherlands… they are a bit weird. They’re alien-like tall and thin (for the most part), they have funny attitudes about being tolerant, but extremely rude at the same time, they drink milk for lunch, their language sounds like Klingon, …

Today was the last game of the summer league season. I know, most of you are very surprised because I haven’t written anything about the first 10 weeks of games, well, get over it. The point is, I’ve been playing summer league as a member of the Maroon team of the Manhattan Ultimate Disc (or …

Never EVER Go to Tavern on the Green for New Year’s

What a nightmare of a New Year’s Eve. For those who want the quick quick version I will say only this: never, EVER, consider going to Tavern on the Green for a New Year’s Eve party. It was the worst run, worst organized party event that I have ever been to or could even conceive …

Goodbye Bridge Suites

I have to thank Jen for waiting for me for ten minutes at the California Pizza Kitchen while I “checked out” of apartment 243 of the famous(ly sucky) Bridge Suites. Thanks Jen. I know I was overextending myself when I planned to meet you for lunch on the East side, AND check out of that …

December Recap

Wow. What a month. I have been more busy than ever before, mostly owing to my new job taking me all over the globe. I moved into my new apartment on Nov. 30th. “Moved in” is a generous term because I really only had a desk, a chair, four bookcases to hold my DVDs, and …

Pictures of My New Apartment

I took a few pictures of the place while it was empty that I have put up on Flickr. There aren’t that many, but it gives you an idea of the size of the place. I also made a drawing of the layout with measurements so I know how much space I have for various …
