I solved the situation with the difficult former vendor via a quite reasonable offer, but what was HILARIOUS is that in his response he actually said, “I’m beginning to realize _________” about something I had told him in our first conversation, and then the next dozen, and in the last tw...

Watching episodes of SUBPURGATORY before bed where this line was said, and reminded of my Bloomingdales event with $20,000 mattresses. Today –– a blur of productivity. Morning Bikram with Oscar –– so super-sweet and quirky.  [And by the way, I find coconut water DETESTABLE –– i can eat frosting from the ca...

Here’s what’s interesting: In March I bought a Groupon for a one month gym membership + massage for $55 –– which is like half the price of a massage –– and today I took advantage of it (the massage portion). As I’ve often remarked these days, I’ve been deeply inspired by the Abraham...

At the Idiot Factory, I mean. I’ve always loved that Hafiz line –– “There is no shortage at the Idiot Factory” –– and sure enough, experience proves that this is so, time and time again. I recalled the poem today while chatting with Dan because I’d “for...

Throughout the day, I have watched most of the third season of DAMAGES –– which is riveting –– while scrubbing the bath...

Let’s face it:  Seasons two of Damages was getting me down. William Hurt is a fine actor (obviously) but somehow his whole mid-life depressive thing is just such a downer, I couldn’t continue. And yet … there was enough going on that I decided to forgo several episodes and cut to the fina...

Somehow my entire life today revolved around cars, both Old and New. At the DMV, parking permit transfer from my old car to my new –– semi-complete as it’s only temporary until I have the full registration.  [Guy in front of me pleading to get ticket forgiven –– or whatever –– because he was in rehab...

I mean, obviously … but –– My new MINI-COOPER arrived today and it’s a total love thing. And then, an hour later, after SK(W) and Belle and I traipsed on our first joyride to buy a back seat cover –– somehow Sports Basement has a very chic camping blanket with a water repellant side –– we retur...
