So what if I stayed up all night coping recipes from The Food Network? I was in the office on time even if my hair was only half dry and there was a run in my panty hose. Of course work starts at 10:30 but I even made breakfast. The Magic Bullet, which has the best infomercial, chops up mushrooms and tomatoes so well I always find time for an ( Read more... )

    I was at the news stand under the Avenue J subway station last week when a guy with earrings on his face and dyed, black hair that stood straight up asked if they had The New York Sun, which is a very conservative newspaper.  The man said he did not carry the paper because it did not sell but it does because I know they have it at the bodega ( Read more... )

     I brought Strawberry to watch the Pistons win tonight with a bunch of Laker haters.  Not having a television turns couch potatoing into an outing.  An engine genius I know who works as an auto mechanic, casually mentioned that most of the students in his certification classes are in a parole program that pays their way.  This may piss off the ( Read more... )

     I got my first phone line in over two years and so this journal begins...  All I have ever needed is a cell phone, but after I quit working at the event planning agency, the Internet seemed necessary for job hunting.  The company overworked me and was insensitive to Jewish Holidays so by Shavous I mentally collapsed.  Suddenly I became non- ( Read more... )
