As a reward for D flipping himself over (back to front) for the first time ever today, we took him for a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.

[eta: Oh, and before our walk we went to Bubby's (the Brooklyn branch) for brunch. NYCistas will recognize this as the restaurant where Teppy mocked us for our seasonal candy.]

BookCourt, the family-owned bookstore at 163 Court Street in Cobble Hill, is bucking the trend of smaller, locally owned booksellers being forced out of business by megastores like Barnes & Noble and Borders. The owners have announced that it will expand into adjacent space they now own, which will double the area of the store. Space for all categories of books will be expanded and new sections added. Non-fiction books will be moved from the basement to the street level, and the lower level will be used for remaindered, or bargain, titles. There will be a "dedicated events space for readings and performances" and, to top things off, a "small cafe & bar with an accompanying outdoor garden."

Finished the first semi. Now I'm moving on to Federer and Davydenko.

ETA: Duuuuuuude.

Wacky, no?

Wacky, no?

Ha! I believe my reaction to the first set is OMGWTF.

Hee.

FYI: Bravo is airing a mini-marathon of FNL on October 5th - i.e., the day of the premiere of the second season.

That information found at the Futon Critic - also lots of info on what other USA shows will be repeated during the week and on which channels.

Oh, my word, Jess, you're trying to kill with the cute, aren't you? [link]

I... with the hand on his auntie's shoulder? Slain. I am slain. [link]

That boy is a charmer. Goodness.

He's adorable, Jessica.

You know the American Girl series, the books and dolls about girls growing up at various points in American history? The Revolution, homesteading on the prairie, WWII, and the like?

The latest entry is set in 1974: [link]

I was three that year.

I'm history.
