Talk about Desperate! (Housewives that is)

After shopping for my yom kippur break fast, walked out of Fairway in Plainview to my car to find (at least for me), a new type of advertising….ABC had replaced the traditional lines between parking spaces with a custom version to promote “Desperate Housewives” – written on each stripe “Parking for Desperate Housewives”….Seems to be targeted at “Soccer Moms” or as they should more appropriately be called on the Friday of Yom Kippur, “Sable Moms”, but anyway thought this was an interesting approach….(and yes, I have written a letter to my congressman stating that ive been discriminated against as I had to park like a mile away as allison was home with the kids and I wasn’t desperate or a housewife)

As for the effectiveness, Allison and I both passed on watching the season premiere…but to be honest, I think we both had fallen asleep by 9pm….

Explanation for why I didn't get into Film school?

Came across this clip of an old movie i used to watch when i was a kid...."The Thing With 2 Heads" starring Rosie Grier and Ray Milland. Perhaps if i spent more time watching 'Apocalypse Now' or other more 'classic' films, the folks from Tisch would have decided otherwise on letting me in back in 1989.

An important call to action for fellow commuters - Act before its too late!

I was attacked by a yellow jack on the platform of the LIRR today…I was able to swat it away, and I feel very good about the skill I used to do so…but if you take a look at the snapshots of the scene right after the incident, you’ll see that it is really no surprise…I was sandwiched in between two "yellow shirters"…thankfully I wasn’t injured. I have since don’t a little bit of research, and found that these guys would’ve been in a load of trouble if something happened to me as they could be held responsible for any damage that was done, as well as expense incurred to bandage the wounds after they attracted the yellow jack over to our area of the platform….I'm calling immediately for hearings on this issue….my proposal will call for the altering of no “white after labor day” to “no white and/or yellow after labor day (and before Christmas/Kwanzaa/Hanukkah)".

I am just trying to make the world a safer, better place for us commuters….

My dry cleaning mistake, but come on!

My local dry cleaner dropped off my clothes last week, and I was shocked to find, protected nicely in environmentally unfriendly plastic, one of my "vintage" (old) DoubleClick t-shirts.

I know it was obviously my fault, cause I must've included the tshirt in the bag I dropped off with them, but don't you think that deb's cleaners (located in jericho,ny for anyone wondering) shouldve been able to figure out this was a mistake? I mean, maybe you can make the case that they thought it was one of those $120 plus ed hardy shirts, but the label says hanes beefy t!! Shouldn't that have been a red flag? So now, $5.25 later, I've got a chemically cleaned, hand pressed DoubleClick t-shirt. After that kind of investment, can't bring myself to wear it. It is not even one of the classic tees--geeks vs nerds/camp day, or the tried and true 99 gray doubleclick shirts. Maybe i'll frame it.

Ready for Break-Fast

Went to Fairway in Plainview to buy smoked fish for our break fast this year....Look at this guy's surgeon like technique as he slices me up some nova....You just know its gonna be tasty....

The loss of a living room....

So I've lived in my house for about 7 months, and I have yet to buy furniture for my living room....when i watch tv, i actually sit on one of sam's toddler chairs, which was kind of cute at first, but kind of back breaking after 4 or 5 months.....As you can see though, Luke and Maddie own the room.....i took this while i tried to watch the giants game against green bay.

The quick inventory:
2 exer-saucers, 1 shopping cart, 4 bins for toys - 3 of which have been completely emptied out, 1 learning table, approx 25 small infant toys, spread out as far as possible, a piano (doubles as a ladder for sam), one set of bongos, 2 empty bowls, 15 books for reading to sam and teething for twins, 1 cement mixer, 1 car transporter, 1 backhoe loader, 1 school bus and one long tube like piece of fabric which can be used as a gardener's leaf blower, a golf club or when sam is very creative, an elephant trunk.
