I kept my word.
Still haven’t bought anything new and September 1 is coming up soon. I’m so in the habit of not buying new stuff that I don’t think I’ll revert. Not sure if it’s cheating, but I’ve still been thrifting and somehow buying lots of plane tickets. But, the point is that if I decide to buy anything new (back to school time!), I’ll probably go to Comptoir des...

Crime in Williamsburg getting more attention
Lock your windows when you’re not home! Remember to keep alert and just use common sense. Gothamist has the rundown of latest chatter on the subject. I was thinking about starting some sort of neighborhood watch or trying to promote safety in some way. In all my free time :)

How many of you are in the U.S.? →
via Ariel Waldman. Fun! but P.S. I think the numbers are a bit off. No way are there 1,525 Chrysanthe(s) in the U.S. and 335 Tenentes(es).

enough.
My feed reader is always taunting me with unread items. I need to be up on things, but just realized that I don’t think I’ve actually read a post from Gawker in who knows how long. Too many posts! Unnecessary! So. Am unsubscribing now. Thinking Jezebel might not be far behind. Why so many posts? I’m all about simplifying. Pare it down, keep it high quality and relevant (and stop...

San Francisco guide to New York neighborhoods →
superamit: So you’re moving from San Francisco to New York. You liked your cute neighborhood and tasty burritos and you hope to replicate this existence somewhere in the Big Apple. Well kiddo, that’s impossible. Everyone knows there is no such thing as a good burrito in NYC… (Mostly for Darrell) This seems mostly right, though I’d kind of like to see the Brooklyn-SF list. And what...

About last night.
caro: katiebakes: Caroline was at the entrance talking to the founder of that Montreal cannonball rally last weekend. “Do you want to know an interesting fact?” he asked, leaning in conspiratorially. We did. “None of the founders of the Rally even have drivers licenses!” he announced. I decided that the fact was indeed sufficiently interesting, made a bad joke, and moved on. In today’s...

good morning from lovely Breezewood, PA
hotels off the freeway can be sketchy or gross, however, I am in the best example of a rest stop hotel. In Western (Southern?) PA, an hour or so from Falling Water, Frank Lloyd Wright’s house among the trees. Then on to Cincinnati for a night with my dear, sweet friend Grace (we met during my summer working at the Omega Institute in upstate NY. yoga retreat. weird times). so, what I’m...

Brooklynvegan has the tip on a hot ticket--TV on... →
littlekhole: (via abangupjob) As much as I like TV on the Radio, the last thing on earth I’d want to do would be go to (another) hugely over-crowded party at Santo’s. Fire trap! good point. i recommend the music but certainly not the locale. i’m not into overcrowded overly hip places. that said, tv on the radio wins the best performer of the season award from the mccarren pool...

Fun stuff in SF?
Whenever I leave New York for an extended period of time it kind of feels like I’m missing something. I hate that feeling! Tip me — Where should I go, what should I do and where should I eat while I’m in SF?

Julia Child, badass spy
Everyone’s talking today about Julia Child’s work as a World War II-era spy, but I found this NPR story from 6 years ago that mentions her involvement in the pre-CIA days. Buzz is a funny thing.

Silent Rave in Union Square
This sounds awesome, I think. Too bad I’ll be out of town. I was never into raves in the 90s but something about silently grooving in the middle of Union Square seems like a commentary on the disconnectedness of city dwellers who are usually locked inside their own heads, and the interconnectedness of our communal experience of being jammed into the same little island (and/or boroughs, as...

stabber strikes again
Most recent stabbing in Williamsburg, as reported by the Brooklyn Paper, was August 10. Again, right near my apartment. Read all about it. A note on the crime blotter. I read these cheeky reports when they are published every Wednesday. Sometimes I laugh (in spite of myself), other times I cringe, and always I want to know more. Demographics of the victim, info about the perps, and more about...
