Or Here for MPEG4/mp4, which I have to say, looks ever so slightly cleaner.

I have a love/hate relationship with the bus. There is nothing worse than schlepping to Port Authority–a little piece of recently renovated hell on Earth– straight out of work first thing in the morning and standing on line in a stink, bleak basement to take a jam-packed three-and-a-half hour bus trip upstate. I hate it. However, as the trip progresses and you pass the seemingly endless sprawl of Paramus the trees get bigger, the towns get smaller and the distance between them grows wider, I start to love it. Three hours seems like nothing when you end up world’s away.I will, however, make 2007 the Year of Learning How to Drive.*

*Note: I have been saying that sine 1993 when I received my first learner’s permit. I’ve been renewing it every five years. But this time I really mean it.

Musical Bits:
Ministry “Reload”, Filth Pig, 1996 Warner Brothers Records
Milton Nacimento “Minas” , Minas, 1976 Water Records
Because these two songs are completely fabulous in totally different ways, just like NYC and Upstate.

Surely I’m not the only person freaked out by this East Coast weather. Don’t get me wrong, it was a beautiful day…but, still…it’s just too, too weird.

Life isn’t always all that interesting.

You may already be familiar with my neighbor. Well, she’s at it again. I found the strength to open my front door a crack and record her in stereo from the hallway. Yikes.

No videos starring me or my honey of late, I know. Why? Because we are miserably heartbroken and I see little point in documenting our sorrow for posterity. The “buying a house” deal has utterly fallen through (”Thanks US Government! You are the suckiest suck who ever sucked!“), my Maisie’s health is on the wane, 9/11 is a perennial emotional doozy, a dearly departed friend’s birthday just past and her absence is keenly felt and my childhood home is up for sale.

It’s hard to vlog when everything is so crappy. In the meanwhile, enjoy the upcoming short string of food porn, New York City scenes and dog videos.

I’m just not feeling like myself. Actually, she sounds like I feel.

It’s hotter than Bangkok in April. I eat nothing but popsicles and I feel as if my brain has turned into cheese. Soft, melty cheese.
