    I was up an out early this morning, shooting some more eyewear. It was a gorgeous morning, both in terms of weather and light conditions. When I first came out of the apartment door, I startled a little bird. Apparently it had taken a wrong turn and ended up inside of our apartment building. I…

    So then why is everything going so crappy? I missed my run this morning, because 1. it was raining 2. I was getting a haircut and 3. The temperature dropped like 20 degrees, overnight. To cap off a rough morning, the crowd was 4 deep on the train platform this morning (see above). Everyone had…

    One of my favorite times of the day, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, is the last 10 minutes of my workout session. This may sound totally retarded, but whatever. I endearingly refer to those 10 minutes as, “nap-time.” After 30-90 minutes of running, then a 60 minute workout, I get to just lay there on…

    A lot of the time, commuting sucks. Especially when going all of the way from one end of the island, to the other, twice a day. This morning, for example, I needed to be in a bit early. So I made sure to get out the door at a reasonable hour. My efforts were, however,…

    Since my sleep schedule has been all out of wack, I have been fighting my alarm in the mornings. This morning was the first time in 2 weeks that I have had to get up early to move the car. I took advantage of the fact that I was awake, and got a lot done…

    I was reading GQ this morning and I read a little blurb about Lil’ Wayne, that confirmed my embarrassment of our country for liking him so much. I feel like it is finally wa(y)ning (waaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! like the pun?) now. But, I swear, for a while, there you could not listen to a hiphop station, without…

    Reagan and I watched another documentary about “street art” last night. It is called “Bomb it.” It was pretty cool. I have to say that foreign graffiti writers seem to be a lot cooler than the ones in the states. The Americans they talked to all seemed like a bunch of total losers, except Shepard…

  • Happy Halloween!

    On the train this morning I saw some kids dressed up like freaks, on their way to school. It made me miss the good old days. In grade school, even though we still had to go to school on Halloween, it was like a freebie day. We never had to do any work. We would…

    I received a flu shot today. My firm offers them for free, every fall. I know that they are somewhat controversial. I have heard all kinds of bad things about them by flu shot opponents. Here is some particularly spicy propaganda from a flu shot opponent who is a self proclaimed “Crusader for health.” I…

    It was ideal weather to be dressed up in an inflatable nylon chicken suit this morning. When I was moving the car around 6:30 this morning, it was downright brisk. I brought a cardigan with me today, just in case. I guess that yesterday Autumnal Equinox made it official, and mother nature is complying. Returning…
