The stink of mowed grass, the sour taste of flat Coke

Johan Santana went seven innings and struck out eight in the Mets win over the Marlins, David Wright tore a ball apart at the seams and cleared all three bases with a double. Last night, Brian McCann ...

The sinister undertones of the word "tranquilizer"

I'm housesitting right now, on the nineteenth floor of a condominium in DUMBO, and I just saw some sad soul walking across the bicycle path of the Manhattan Bridge, buttoned up tight against the coldf...

Bad acid...

I took this acid today that came from some hippies in Binghamton who own a bookstore. I never met them, but I bet they're like the hippies in Ithaca, which is to say weirdly fiscally conservative and ...

A Month of Sundays

So far I've gone on vacation for most of 2008, if you stretch the definition of the word. I mean, I count January 1st, when I was too hung over to do anything but eat Papa John's on my couch and fell ...

Buddies doing buddy things...

Take a day...

Running out...

I got a job, it's in New Jersey, it's with Tucker's mom, I work with a bunch of rad old metalheads, I met an 18 year old Christian Contemporary Pop singer, but she was about 6'2" and smoking out the b...

Ron Artest is probably the world's most awesome person.

I almost completely forgot about my favorite part of commuting: flirting with well put-together businessladies on the train. Now I can add flirting with Columbia students on the 1 train, which is even...
