Not that I would do anything like this…

Not that I would do anything like this… This post of Bex’s got me thinking … a lot of girls I know say they hate it when guys “play games” and abide by things like the three-day rule. But girls should acknowledge they play plenty of games too: waiting to return calls, waiting to have sex, not accepting weekend dates past Tuesday even […] This story about a N.H. Union Leader reporter let go for supposedly having a “New York attitude” is getting some play on Romenesko and Gawker today. From the Boston Phoenix: Eight weeks later, [Margaret] Menge was asked to resign from the paper. The reporter, who ruffled a few feathers at the local police department, says […] So I was out in the cold last night interviewing neighbors about this murder of topless dancer Catherine Woods. I guess two of those neighbors are bloggers This Fish (who lives in her building) and Uptown Girl, but I saw neither of them last night. I did encounter this cute little puppy though. It […] The city has been so empty this weekend! It’s very strange. My father moved a few years ago to North Carolina — flights are pretty expensive, so I just stayed put. Plus, I used the last of my vacation time visiting my brother in Colorado … ended up working Thursday, then watching football at the […] As all of you know — or should know — I will bear any burden, pay any price, endure any hangover, for you, my loyal readers. That is why I have been out and about scouting my new neighborhood and sampling its sweet fruits. The results of this labor of love are starting to come […] How great is Gawker these days? I mean, how friggin’ funny is it? I remember when it was a poor second read behind Wonkette. Now indespensible. There are probably some NYC residents who aren’t reading it daily, but I don’t understand why that would be. I just feel blessed to be working in a business […] For a lot of marathon runners, Sunday wasn’t their best day. It wasn’t mine, it wasn’t Charle’s, it wasn’t Benjamin Wagner’s. And Danny Farkas had a tough time, too: I had said before the race that my main goal was to finish this race running, without having to walk. Taking that first walk break [around […] Oh my goodness … so I am meeting up later with Finy and a few of her friends to catch the Patriots/Colts game … and I came across this on her blog. (scroll down ’til you get to the post signed, “Dad.”) I just think it’s hilarious she has this blog where she talks about […] So I’ve run 11 marathons in my life, three since my arthroscopic knee surgery for a torn medial meniscus in 2002. All three have been in 3:53! New York, 2003: Went out strong, died at the end. Burlington, 2004: Wasn’t able to train well because of a calf injury. Went out conservatively, thinking I […] Marathon runners after getting swag at Jacob Javits Center … I’ll pick up my number there tomorrow. . so the party was fun … i think there were about a dozen people there during the course of the evening … no pictures, alas, as my cameraphone lacks a flash and the lighting was too dim. Then somehow while sleeping i managed to hurt my back — have been in bed, reading, for most […] Stopped by the Running Company store in the Time Warner Center this morning and picked up a pair of New Balance 1060s for the marathon … I had been running in the Nike Pegasus for the longest time, but I don’t like the feel of their newest model. And I have wide feet … […] So I finally got my computer hooked up in my new apartment last night … installed my new WiFi card … found no less with four different networks … but they were all password-protected. What’s wrong with these people — haven’t they ever heard of sharing?? Kick off Halloween weekend in style! All my regular readers are invited for cocktails at this little housewarming bash I’m throwing next Thursday, Oct. 27, at Perdition. Many yummy cocktails, and 16 draft beers on tap, “each swan neck tap is individually chilled by the Kilkenny system.” Come check out Hell’s Kitchen … I’ve reserved […] I tried the Coffee Kitkat Chelle keeps mentioning … good, but not that good. Also, the World Sumo Challenge is this Saturday at MSG … I’m thinking I might (possibly) go. So far so good for the apartment. I still have a bunch of work to do unpacking and whatnot, but it is coming along nicely. Yesterday I went running in Central Park and today in Hudson River Park. Great to have these choices. Last night I went to see fellow runner and blogger Benjamin Wagner […] So I’m all moved in … well mostly … there are still some odds and ends I need to pick up in New Jersey, and I’ve barely started unpacking. But the hard part is over. Yay!0 Did the Staten Island half this morning … 1:36:27, a 7:21 pace. Good for 316 out of 3319 runners […] I would not say I’m hung over. I would say I’m still drunk from last night … or rather, earlier this morning. Movers scheduled to arrive in an hour. so I’m scheduled to have movers come and move me on Saturday. Umm, no I haven’t done all that much packing. But I’m off tomorrow (Friday), so I’ll do it then hopefully. Actually I plan to just have the movers move my furniture and books and electronics … I’m told I’m too much of a […] |
