“Here’s what I love about Dylan: He was exactly as you’d expect he would be. He...”
– President Obama about meeting Bob Dylan when he did a performance at the White House to celebrate the civil rights movement. (via warispeace)
5:00 whistle
time to get crunk on white russians, get myself a falafel platter, and watch the $2-bootlegged-Chinatown-dvd of The Other Guys that my coworker picked up for me the other day.
woot woot
3 Armed Men Wanted in Fairfield, Conn. Bank Heist →
Read this headline a good four or five times before it dawned on me that a 3-armed man had not, in fact, robbed a bank in Connecticut.
Woulda been cool, though, huh?
before we were married, we were gay-married
And since I’ve just been peddling no-fuss wedding vendors, I thought I’d also mention the fact that before Arie and I got married, we had a legal domestic partnership for a few years because, as ”domestic partners,” I was allowed to add him to my health insurance policy.
Some people defend the concept of domestic partnerships because, I think, those people exist in...
vision of love
Ok, this is my last wedding recommendation. Until I think of another one. (Mah brain, it’s so scattered).
I got my hair and makeup did at Fringe Salon by Brian and Jenn. I live a few blocks away so I just walked over there and they fixed me up pretty right in the salon. Which is way better than paying hair and makeup people insane wads of ca$h to come to you (imho). On my way to the salon I...

I'll Take "Broken Game Show Records" for $77K →
Roger Craig, a 33-year-old graduate student at the University of Delaware, set a new one-day earnings record on “Jeopardy!”, winning $77,000 at the end of Tuesday’s broadcast, The Associated Press reported.
On the path to perhaps the most remarkable “Jeopardy!” moment since Alex Trebek shaved his mustache, Mr. Craig went into the Final Jeopardy round with $47,000 and wagered $30,000 in the...

i'm rollin like a playboy beep beep beep, just...
1. One time, shortly after I moved to NY, I was meeting some friends at a bar. But when the friends got there they decided it was lame and wanted to go somewhere else. Since I was running late (of course), they decided to LEAVE A NOTE FOR ME WITH THE BOUNCER telling me where they were going. I arrived at the bar and the bouncer looked at my ID and then he handed me a note. It was from my friend...
what went wrong
Oops. It seems as though I followed a recipe for a 9-inch pie using a 10-inch pie dish.
You WILL care about my pies, damnit.
WIFE OF THE YEAR
Alright, guys. I baked my first pie. I don’t think it’s going to be very good. I used too much water in the dough. I didn’t make enough dough. The whole crimping the edges thing? Didn’t work out so well. I left the blueberries and the sugar and the cinnamon and the lemon zest and the cornflour sitting in the bowl for 6 whole minutes before I realized that it said to...
I just bought a pound of blueberries.
What kind of pie are YOU making? Look deep inside yourself to find the answer.
Most adorable gun and drug dealers EVER!! →
Prosecutors say a ring of gun and drug dealers with such nicknames as “Pimples” and “Chocolaty” has admitted peddling assault rifles, other firearms and sizable amounts of cocaine and Ecstasy in the northern tip of Manhattan.
well, this pretty much ruins rimming for all of... →

this is what happens when you run out of vodka
Last week I bought a new set of bed sheets. The set came with 2 pillowcases. However, we use 4 pillows on our bed.
All of our current sheet sets have only 2 matching pillowcases, but I feel as though, going forward in life (bold statement), when I buy sheets I should really buy an additional pair of matching pillowcases so that I can have the same pillowcases on all 4 pillows at once (rather than...

However, some New Yorkers said there’s an even simpler explanation for the phenomenon: the team is just popular.

It’s still Pie Week.
defeated, emotionally, by the direct mail...
I got married 2 months ago. Not a long time, right? Well, somehow in that short period I have received two catalogs in the mail addressed to “Mrs. Amy Blair.” How mysterious? How do these crazy catalog companies know so much?
Things are getting even weirder. Today I came home and received a catalog addressed to Mrs. Amy Blair, Oxford Publishing, and then my home address. Um, I...

want to know an awesome way to break the yom kippur fast?
PIE.

pie week is serious bidness
Guys!
I’m sad because I’m not running the NYC Marathon this year (after all, I BROKE MY FUCKING HIP DURING THE MARATHON LAST YEAR. But no biggie). But my buddy Kristina is running it this year to raise money for The American Cancer Society! She’s super duper close to meeting her $3,500 fund raising goal. If you make a donation, you will not only be helping her out, you will also...

misty water colored memories
I was just sitting here listening to a little music on the ol’ headphones when a Camper Van Beethoven song came on. And now I’m fondly reminiscing about how when I was just a little tweeny-girl at summer camp in upstate NY we used to actually sing Take the Skinheads Bowling, like, as a camp song. Hundreds of kids sitting around a campfire earnestly belting it out (with feeling!). What...
