Works good!Sun, 08 Mar 2026 13:59:54 +0000This happened to me during a production of Hair in 2008 (the performance was delayed), and this past summer for Twelfth Night (the performance was cancelled, so we went again).Sat, 07 Mar 2026 22:32:52 +0000At the very beginning, it was actually pretty good. However, that didn't last too long. Looking at my "notes," that was June, 2022-ish.Sat, 07 Mar 2026 14:03:52 +0000Clean-out-the-fridge puttanesca.Fri, 06 Mar 2026 14:27:23 +0000Driveway is torn up, but they can't pour the concrete until Monday because there's a very damp patch that needs to fully dry out. The dampness probably comes from the gutter drainspout, but in going in the crawlspace our contractor discovered 3 types of mold. Plus the earthquake retrofit isn't fully up to snuff. The previous owner did a lot of DIY stuff himself. We knew that he wasn't as good as he thought he was, but we're discovering even more "fun" things.Thu, 05 Mar 2026 22:41:38 +0000I understand that there's at least one restaurant that combats this trend by prohibiting this exact practice.Thu, 05 Mar 2026 16:34:08 +0000So there's someone who doesn't know why online recipes are written this way?Mon, 02 Mar 2026 18:09:41 +0000My mom grew up around him and Ronnie Spector. Marty Coopersmith from Jay and the Americans. Brooklyn, baby!Mon, 02 Mar 2026 15:43:00 +0000This stuff is bottomless. I have been listening to Gladys Bentley because beyond the interest in her being a committed cross-dresser in 1920s/30s New York she's an amazing singer and pianist; and Spotify recommended Merline Johnson. From my superficial research she just seemed to vanish, but after leaving a mound of blues recordings. She's great and so is the condition of the re-mastered stuff. She was known as the Yas Yas girl, yes as in get your yas yas out. An expression that predated the Stones, of course.Sun, 01 Mar 2026 22:31:55 +0000Thu, 26 Feb 2026 04:59:06 +0000I binged the first 5 episodes of Drops of God, season 2 yesterday. Now I'm eagerly waiting the final episode.Tue, 24 Feb 2026 19:50:24 +0000Just received email from bookseller: Keep your reading streak going Er, okay...Tue, 24 Feb 2026 18:58:36 +0000Throwing this out there to hold myself accountable. My goal is to fully move into the other house the beginning of May. Of this year. I need to crack the whip on myself and get stuff done.Tue, 24 Feb 2026 11:54:56 +0000At 75. He was always just, like, there.Sun, 22 Feb 2026 03:11:54 +0000Is Nadia really understanding what he's being told? There's no such thing as a bottle of Chartreuse "from the states," rare or otherwise. The guy might have meant he was finding rare bottles in the states, maybe at auctions? Anyway, good to know the Chartreuse people want to make sure US bars have plenty of the stuff.Sat, 21 Feb 2026 21:04:32 +0000I need a new phone case, but I guarantee it will be the brightest, most inappropriate color I can find, making it hard for the phone to go camouflage and undercover and hide around the apartment.Thu, 19 Feb 2026 04:38:01 +0000Complicated, but still a moderately greatish man. My wife worked strenuously on the Dukakis campaign. I didn't. Don't know why, but he didn't excite me. Plus, I'd already been stopped by an immigration agent under the regime of Heil Gipper! and was reluctant on a temp visa, as I was then, to further jeopardize myself. But we'd often commiserate on how Jesse would have done so much better. Such innocent times, those, yet another step down toward our present ghastliness when Bush Sr. won.Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:19:17 +0000https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/movies/frederick-wiseman-dead.html My favorite director has left us. He changed this world for the better, and I am so glad I got to hear him speak at MOMI a few years ago. Goodbye, genius.Tue, 17 Feb 2026 04:34:10 +0000I don't remember Tender Mercies which won him an Oscar; apparently not a big hit.Mon, 16 Feb 2026 22:16:27 +0000And Brewster McCloud, if you're me.Fri, 13 Feb 2026 12:12:23 +0000Drummer for the band The Pogues. Here's what Cáit O'Riordan had to say on social:Thu, 12 Feb 2026 22:28:33 +0000Last night brought a pair of Austrian wine makers to Cafe Katja, to pour and discuss their wines: A good time was had by all.Thu, 12 Feb 2026 18:55:48 +0000Guessing the latter. Our local Puerto Rican restaurant is running Bad Bunny-themed specials today.Sun, 08 Feb 2026 22:11:12 +0000Our local Grocery Outlet had Rogue Creamery's Brutal Blue in stock. Another very intense blue, the kind you can only have small pieces of.Sun, 08 Feb 2026 22:10:15 +0000Cute story: We walked over the night after Wilfred's dinner posted above, on Tuesday, sans reservation. We like to sit at the bar, and not at the seats close to the door, but from the middle over toward the kitchen. They're usually able to accommodate, but the bar was almost full - the only seats left were by the door. I said we'd rather not, so instead they sat us a table in the dining room. Shrimp croquettes were new to us, and great - they fry really well here. Chef comped us that Cara Cara salad, which was quite nice. I know Cervo's has a vestibule, but I think because of the step up to get into Eel Bar, they're not able to do that there.Sun, 08 Feb 2026 13:05:16 +0000
