A Dream Home Undone by Divorce

I think that New York City is incredibly unique in the way in which love and real estate so often become so inextricably linked.

Anthony Weiner Coulda Been A Contender

You know who feels like an idiot today? Anthony Weiner. If Thompson could hold Bloomberg to three points, what could an aggressive, focused opponent have done?

Cue escalating Dem-on-Dem cattiness over NYC’s mayoral race [Politico]:

“Maybe one of those Corzine trips could have been better spent in New York. Who knows?” remarked New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, who weighed his own run for mayor, referring to the White House’s devout attention to the New Jersey contest.

“Maybe Anthony Weiner should have manned-up and run against Michael Bloomberg,” shot back a White House official, who attributed the night’s results across the board to anti-incumbent fervor.

Since I was in my old nabe, I figured I’d stop and get coffee from my favorite place (EVER IN LIFE!). Finding a filled coffee card in my wallet that made my large Americano free was just a bonus.

“An executive producer with an all-male writing staff once inadvertently revealed his deep, dark fear. While discussing a full-time position for me, he mused out loud, “I wonder if having a woman in the room will change everything.” Of course, what he really meant was: “I wonder if having a woman in the room will change me.” Male writers don’t want to be judged in the room. They want to be able to scarf an entire bag of potato chips while cracking fart jokes and making lewd comments without fear of feminine disapproval. But we’re your co-workers, not your wives. Crack a decent fart joke and, as professionals, we will laugh.”

yay, j gord-lev!

hitrecordjoe:

They finally told me I could tell you the news. I’m gonna host Saturday Night Live. WHAT?

I’ve known for a couple months now. Wasn’t allowed to tell anybody. Still wrapping my head around it. Hard to believe it’s happening. I know it sounds cliché, but I really have watched that show ever since I was a little little kid, and it really does occupy a unique place in my big picture. thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you.

I’m still not exactly sure what/how hitRECord/tumblr/vimeo/everyone can play a part in my NY experience that week. I imagine something will work itself out. Got any ideas?

more to come…

Reality Deals Setback to Paris Bike Program

Reality Deals Setback to Paris Bike Program:

In an unsuccessful effort to stop vandalism, Paris began an advertising campaign this summer. Posters showed a cartoon Vélib’ being roughed up by a thug. The caption read: “It’s easy to beat up a Vélib’, it can’t defend itself. Vélib’ belongs to you, protect it!”
