Best Celebrity Encounter Ever

Since moving to NYC I've encountered my share of celebrities, some more than once:

Chris Noth three times, around NYU;

Molly Shannon also three times, at the Starbucks across the street from Chelsea Markets;

Scott Speedman twice, once outside Space Market and once at VBar;

and one of the Olson twins three times on NYU campus.

All the rest were one timers:

Kanye West at Corner Shop Cafe;

The Gyllenhaals on 9th Ave;

Dave Chapelle on Sullivan Ave,

Sandra Bernhard also at Chelsea Markets;

Richard Dreyfuss at the Union Square Barnes & Nobel;

Chris Parnell also at the Union Square Barnes & Nobel;

and Ana Gasteyer, on the subway.


Today I shook the hand of this man:

I love this city.

Summer's Gone a Summer Song

Summer's Gone a Summer Song

It's the night before classes begin and insead of being a good little organizer I sit noodling about on the computer whilst sipping zinfandel, listening to Calexico, and thinking about random things such as Yahtzee and trips to Queens. This summer? Altogether better. Beats the hell out moving (yes we're no longer moving, issues with asshold neighbor at a detente). Less financially thin although thinner than I would have liked. Sangria, the Met, trips to Park Slope, pedicures and shiny sandals. New music, new people. New York is conquerable and I am on my way.
