This is it.
There is someone who has been in my life for two years who no longer has a seat at the table. He has worn out his welcome. Last night I gave him a Christmas whiskey cake and listened as he told me that he is twice as awesome as he was before. Later, he fell on his back on the ice. I fetched him ice packs and a hot water bottle (I’ve learned to rotate between the two...
What does that mean?
We were chatting at work the other day about snow and sledding and the like. I happen to mention the time I went sledding probably back in eighth grade and got so stoned that I thought I had hypthermia, freaked out, and ran home. (In my defense both pants legs had become frozen and I was covered in snow.) This guy I work with was like, ‘Oh maybe that’s why you are always so...

Good Saturday
mallisser:
I just had a fantastic brunch with great friends, and now my plan is to get lost in the Museum of Natural History.
Yes! That brunch was a memorable one. Savory potato waffles w/chicken-apple sausage, chunky apple sauce, and sour cream are damn delicious. I should look up a recipe and see if I can make them next time…
Ironic it is...
It is the Saturday before Christmas and I’m sitting at my desk drawing fireplace details. No, not sipping hot tea under a blanket next to a fireplace feeling its warmth and comfort gazing out onto a white winter landscape, just sitting here drawing fireplaces on this cold computer screen in an empty office where it is fucking FREEZing looking out at the gray skies and icy drafts coming...

It’s snowing in New Orleans. What? [Insert bad hell freezing over joke here.]
And yesterday it was in the 60s in NYC.
We are fucked.
(Yeah, yeah, I know that weird weather patterns usually have nothing to do with global warming. But I mean it in a general sense.)
I definitely got the distinct feeling of being in New Orleans walking home from the subway two nights ago. ...
Lost brown coat...
The past two years I have donated a coat at NYCares annual coat drive, which I would recommend doing as its a worthy cause. Unfortunately, this year I am going to have to consider my lost coat as my contribution. Somehow I lost my winter coat in between the subway and my office. I guess I blame my excited glee of arriving back in Lower Manhattan after being home for Thanksgiving - yes, I was...
Inaugurate Change →
The things we must create to fight climate change are also the things we need to generate a strong economic recovery: livable cities, clean energy, green jobs, new technologies, better transportation, healthy forests and thriving family farms…
With your help, we will show that the people of the United States are ready and willing to accept this challenge. And we will ask Obama to issue a...
