Comments are nice.

I think I am going to begin a ruthless campaign to supplant the cretinous "om nom nom" (and all imaginable fucking variants) with the respectable Yiddish nosh. Which, of course, people have been using for ages to mean exactly what people now seem unable to express without turning to the Cookie Monster and baby talk ( Read more... )

Pulling off simplicity is no mean feat.

I did that?

Good idea. Though I'd go for borrowing something from Gollum.

But yesterday morning we were at Pier 51 (Hudson River Park) and I fell. I woke up this morning very much feeling as if I'd fallen. Only one visible bruise, but lots and lots of sore muscles.

Sorry to hear that. I'm glad it wasn't worse.

Oh, and walking from KGB to the restaurant, we encountered Philip Glass.

Wow, very cool. I was just listening to his Dracula score again.

Nice pictures.

Good idea.

Every time I see any version of "om nom nom" the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

This is what happens when you have no feeling in the front half of your feet. I was very lucky.

By the way, did you ever finish Hit and Miss? Because it only gets better and better.

I have two episodes left to watch. I'm still very much enjoying it but I've been watching a lot of other television shows lately, more than usual. I continue to love Chloe Sevigny in the role. My German friend told me she looked for it at her local library after seeing what I'd written about it in my blog. She said it was completely checked out. So it seems to be big in Hamburg.

Oh, I've eaten at that place in St. Mark's! I think we even had that exact same table. Great photos, thank you so much for sharing your trip with us.

It was our second time. It's the traditional KGB after party restaurant.
