I bought a really cute strapless dress in Target today for $22. The problem is that when you are more amply endowed strapless bras don’t really work….at least the ones that are remotely comfortable. So while I may be willing to wear one of the industrial ones for a special occasion, it’s not gonna happen [...]

When I worked at 315 Park Avenue South, they used to paint ads on the side of our building. It was amazing to see how quickly these came together – as I watched briefly as I came into work, got lunch, and went home. It was no small canvas either. The art of advertising murals [...]

My 64 gb iPad was delivered around 1pm last Saturday. So I’ve had about 4 1/2 days to play with it. Certainly enough to have some thoughts on my new toy.
THE GOOD STUFF: Apple did a great job with their built in apps. They all work great on the iPad and make the best use [...]

I went to Southeast Asia last August, and I just realized I never posted about it. Oops! I only took like 4000 photos…so I should share something.
Part 1 – Getting There
My first flight was from Newark to Hong Kong on Continental. I was in coach but had snared a pretty good seat. This was a [...]

This is pretty rad…although it looks like miniatures to me.

I have been keeping an eye out for silver shoes for a wedding I’m in. I really don’t want the typical strappy sandals you usually see. I also don’t want 4″ heels. I can walk in them but they aren’t something I want to wear for 8hrs. I’d really like a nice 3″ heel.

This was written the evening of September 11, 2001. Reading it today still makes me cry.
I can remember thinking about my day ahead as I walked down 23rd street this morning. I’d go the gym, and then get home in time for open mic night at Ristra. I walked into work at 8:45, the same [...]

I am back at work after 2 weeks off. Some observations from my commute this morning. First off on the entrance ramp from 80E to 287s there is a big pothole. I hit it it. A car in front of me hit it too and people dodged their hubcap. Nice job NJDOT!
Then later I saw [...]

I am heading off to South East Asia on Friday afternoon. I get there late Saturday night. In the meantime I’ve been moderately successful in checking things off my list.
One of my big tasks was assembling my first aid kit. It’s annoying that some stuff only seems to be available in a first aid kit [...]
