the boss is back


"Drenched in mortifying moments courtesy of The Office creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, Extras is a painfully funny tribute to wannabes everywhere.

Gervais and Merchant excel at capturing scenes of quiet discomfort as well as palpable desperation in the face of near-constant rejection."

spam & squid

Cindee's mysterious email spam:
"My dear Miss Summerson," said Richard in a whisper, "I have ten pounds that I received from Mr. Kenge. I must try what that will do."

extrarg etrouble fileginteractive sz03 fbsin dirmgrobj "Begludship's pardon--victim of rash action--brains." Suddenly a very little counsel with a terrific bass voice arises, fully inflated, in the back settlements of the fog, and says, "Will your lordship allow me? I appear for him. He is a cousin, several times teed. I am not at the moment prepared to inform the court in what exact tee he is a cousin, but he IS a cousin.

What, on God's green earth, is this supposed to be? Or even be ABOUT? Image search keyword: wine glass. Possible interpretations: fish tanks, drunkenness... um, yeah that's about it.

me & the cutie pies

Paul & I took Drew for a spin on the ferris wheel in Toys R Us Times Square. Drew decided that since he liked this one that next time he got to go to the carnival he'd ride the ferris wheel "first thing" since he's not scared of them anymore. But doesn't the life-size robotic T-rex "totally freak you out?" :)

I need a t-shirt that says: I'm blogging this.

A crew of us helped Amy & Adam move from their Union City, NJ place to Astoria.

We had to resist the temptation to go for a complete makeover at the beauty shop next door.

"And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

an Aficionado is born...

There's a first time for everything! I enjoyed my first cigar, an Arturo Fuente, under the tutelage of Senior CA Features Editor Jack Bettridge. We clipped, we lit, we smoked; we did NOT inhale. I couldn't think of a better time than on the front lawn of our Executive Editor's house where we were producing the Nov/Dec Gift Guide shoot.

breakfast of champions

There's nothing quite like waking up with some coffee and dessert at Jean Georges, especially with fellow chocoholics Shimon & Tamar, photographing the delicacies for Food Arts' November issue.
