I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

One thing I definitely miss about my old job was that the daycare kids would come trick-or-treating to the offices, and they were so cute! Maybe not as cute as Buffista kids, but pretty darn cute.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Just got back from Chipotle. Lots of people with pieces of tin foil wrapped around their heads. If I were a Chipotle manager, I would totally bounce them.

My boss, who is notoriously cheap, went to Chipotle wrapped up in a tan-ish blanket (tortilla) over a green-ish blanket (guac)....and then, for good measure, taped sign on his chest saying "I am a burrito."

No, really. He got his free burrito.

Anyone ever used allergy eye drops?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy Birthday Ginger!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Babysat last night.

She's six weeks old and her parents went to a concert.

The baby was great, the dog was sure I was not on the job. Once I had the audacity to put her in her bassinette and go pee. I left the door cracked so I could hear her. Pickle (he's a daschund) came RUSHING in all "What are you DOING?!?!?" then when she actually made noise he tried flinging himself into my lap in an desperate timmy-is-down-the-wellish effort to communicate that THE BABY IS UPSET!!!!!!!

Trix (sonogram said boy, we bought a bunch of blue stuff, two weeks later we had to all buy pink stuff, hence nicknamed "Trixy") was very chill and only fussed once or twice. She drank four ounces like it was her job (very earnest look on her tiny face). Before the feeding she kept eyeing my boob and bumping her head against it. It was hysterical and I took the hint.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Bless you, shrift. I am picking some up today.

Jacob on slutty costumes:

Halloween is about two things: hooking up and getting drunk. You don't want your costume to inhibit either of these activities, either by being cumbersome or by being needlessly grostesque. The best slutty costumes combine ease of movement with total sluttiness, allowing both. That's generally why I stick to bunny ears.

However, this year I tried -- with varying levels of success, although I guess we'll see for sure tonight -- to get the boyz on board. I want to start a movement for men of all shapes and sizes to get slutty on Halloween.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

There are lots of slutty boys at the West Village Halloween parade.

I also felt like slutty costumes for women were not that common this year at the parade, though Bob disagreed.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Happy Birthday Ginger!

My boss, who is notoriously cheap, went to Chipotle wrapped up in a tan-ish blanket (tortilla) over a green-ish blanket (guac)....and then, for good measure, taped sign on his chest saying "I am a burrito."

That's way better than the huge line of people I saw with just a strip of aluminum foil around their waist, or arm, or just a hat.
