  • I woke up early this morning, slightly hung over from drinks and revelry last night with Chuck, Dave, Dane, Alison and her sister (who's name I've forgotten). But I rallied and have been getting things done today, inclu…

  • Sometimes there is surprising comfort in otherwise annoying situations. Today was the first rehearsal for the opera that I'm working on this fall (La Sonnambula, for Connecticut Concert Opera). In spite of my procrasti…

  • Ahh, another productive day! This morning we moved more of Dimitrios' things to his new apartment. We decided to trade Jeeps for the weekend, so he could move the rest of his big furniture in my Cherokee. The bonus is…

  • Oh boy, things are getting awfully busy again. Contrary to popular belief, Cooper does not get to live a life of leisure year-round. Indeed, every good thing must come to an end. This week I've been juggling preparati…

  • Hot Trash, Hot Flowers, and Hot Random Guy Today is garbage day in my neighborhood. While reading on my balcony this evening, I observed 3 different cars stop, their drivers getting out to comb my garbage for enticing …

  • As predicted, last night was somewhat drunky, although Cooper was considerably less so than everybody else. Pre-drinks were at my house: Dane, the famous Molina, Chucky, Dave, Shane, Jaybird, Craiggers, Adrian, Michael …

  • Caution: Long, whiny post. A few days ago, I mentioned that I might elaborate a bit on my midlife crisis, in the middle of which I seem to be. Recent evidence of this: Learning to ride and purchasing a motorcycle …

  • So, the training thing last night was pretty good; I liked all the people, they all seemed smart and funny for the most part. The job itself is a little corny, but it's teaching high school kids, so I suppose it has to …

  • Quick scattered post here. Last night was lots of fun, Gregg, Chucky, Shanerator, Ovide, Jaybird, Eddie and Craiggers came over for drinks, the Mets game, and a little relaxing. Definitely a good time. Later, I rode d…

  • Well, it looks like my summer schedule is going to end a bit early, I start training for the new part-time job tomorrow. The training period is Wednesday evenings and all day Sundays for 3 weeks, which brings me up to t…

  • Guess who's going to be teaching part time for The Princeton Review! Cooper is! I had an audition/interview this evening, and they loved my über-cheezy presentation (the details with which I won't bore you). I start t…

  • I'm sitting at Tisane's (a coffee bar/martini lounge) doing more logic games (I'm starting to get really fast at them), but I'm having difficulty concentrating because the people here are too fascinating to ignore. …

  • Ouch, my brain hurts. I spent the afternoon studying logic games for the LSAT. The questions are all about sequences and maps and groups, with constraints in various complicated iterations. I actually learned a lot …

  • I haven't been on my soapbox about the war for awhile, but I thought I'd give a few statistics, without further comment. Estimated Iraqi civilian deaths: 23,456-26,559 Total U.S. military deaths: 1843 Total U.S. m…

  • In keeping with my recent mid-life crisis, I have been considering getting a tattoo for most of the summer. Specifically an abstract/tribal thingy on my lower back. Last night, I was perusing designs and such, thinking…

  • The other day I promised some exciting news, so here it is: I recently have been toying with the idea of going to law school in 2006. As many of you know, I've been pretty dissatisfied in the last couple of years with m…

  • Today, I personally contributed to the cause of getting old people off the roads. Well, let me back up the story a little: This afternoon Lagresha (my big, black truck from Detroit) was parked on the street beside my…

  • Ah, nice low key weekend. Last night I stayed in playing RISK™ with Adrian, Michael Suth, and Mike Brown (too many Mikes, especially when Suth always calls me Mike). Here are dorky pictures of us and our strategery: …

  • Yay, I just went over 20,000 visitors on this site! Thanks to everybody that reads the craziness I write. Here's a picture of me looking happy today:

  • Some pathetic items today: Al Roker wore his horrific pink seersucker piggy suit again this morning. Martha Stewart's ridiculous home confinement is extended by three weeks, apparently for attending an unauthorized …

  • Well, I think I'm finally recovered from my trip to Montréal. Chucky and I estimated that we consumed an average of 20-30 beers per day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And we're talking cheap, Canadian brewed Molson Dr…
