Missed this when it came out, but is the Atlantic Yards bullshit arena fizzling out? It’s literally in my backyard and I haven’t heard or noticed anything being done lately, but I’ve also been somewhat shut off from the world. I guess that’s one good thing about the tanking economy…
reminiscing about Type 5 New Yearses gone by......

me: me either
me: that was actually a lot of fun
danny j: you had a good time that night?
me: didn't you?
danny j: we WERE the lives of the party
danny j: in fact, if i remember right...we kinda took that party over
Someone please put me out of my misery at work. Tourists are pissing me clean off today too.
The 5 Types Of New Years Parties (via Gawker) →
Type 1 this year, because I was too crazy with work and school to plan. Waited too long, and now errbody’s out of town (but at least my dress is hot). Hopefully they’re right about the low expectations bit.
Type 2 last year. Type 5 in Minneapolis the year before, and Type 3 at APT the year before that. I hope to never experience Type 4.

I just about freaked out upon viewing pictures of the obscenely beautiful rink at the Museum of Natural History, but it’s not made out of ice… what in the fucking fuck?! I cannot stand for us skating on non-ice. We deserve the iciest of ices.
Anyway, SkrillaT should def be involved in this round, wherever we go. My vote is for Central Park or Prospect Park. What say you, troops?
My block, with plenty of pictures of the construction that scuffed my heels and woke me up at 7am so many mornings earlier this month… a nice reminder that it’s over (at least, until the next time they start construction to put fucking flower pots in the street).
Bonus: some cute pics of 80’s kids playing skully on the street, as described in The Fortress of Solitude (the...

lies. we went to a DQ last summer. and i believe it’s been established that the proper term is lactose incompetent.

Have a Blizzard at the Dairy Queen. I haven’t been to a Dairy Queen since I was in high school and ordering a Blizzard is a lot more complicated than I remember. The woman at the register at one point throws up her hands and tells me she’ll take care of it—I...

Over an, uh, TRYING year… I went from hating it, to falling in love all over again. For many reasons, including sentence 3 of Reason #58.

Gawker’s review of last night’s episode is srsly out of control. they take it to the gyro photo lady and clueless references. richard actually said “er’body wanted to bone”… it’s like dude sees straight into my heart. from now on we refer to our hero solely as “chuckles.”
I had too much coffee this afternoon. Can’t work.
