A Catered Affair

in Theatre

We finally saw A Catered Affair this afternoon. It’s been on our list of shows to see since it opened in April and it advanced to the top of the list a couple weeks ago when it was announced that it would close at the end of July. The show never quite caught on at [...]

Ordinals Loose But Put Up Great Fight, Wizards Sink

in Hockey

The Ordinals have two arch nemesises (yes, I know, that’s not exactly a real word) in our division: the Canucks and the Hornets. They are friendly rivalries, but we try our absolute best every time we play these two teams to get our first wins against them. We’ve come close in our recent meetings with [...]

Waterfalls & Flipping for Flip

in New York

We went over to the South Street Seaport today to grab lunch, hit tkts so we could see A Catered Affair tomorrow afternoon and to check out the new New York City Waterfalls that were installed this week. We saw three of the four waterfalls: Brooklyn Bridge, Pier 35 and the Brooklyn Piers (we couldn’t [...]

Blast From The Past

in Life in General

Brian posted a great piece from the Onion News Network… It took me back in time

I worked for a video store for around three years while I was in college. It loved that job… and it was certainly a simpler time. I didn’t work for a Blockbuster… and was happily already out of the video [...]

So You Think You Can Dance: Mark & Chelsea Hip Hop

in TV

I haven’t been a fan the hip hop routines on So You Think You Can Dance. It’s usually the choreography rather than the performance that fails for me. This week it all changed. Mark & Chelsea got a hip hop routine (which was later clarified as a lyrical hip hop routine) and it was amazing. [...]

Friday Geek Out: Pride

in Geek Out, LGBT Issues

This weekend New York City closes out 2008 Pride Week with the March down 5th Avenue into the Village. The 2008 theme–”Live Love Be”–is quite appropriate in this year where California has taken a huge step forward with same-sex marriage. And, honestly, what more could you ask out of life than to be able to [...]

Blind Fall by Christoper Rice

in Books

Why? Why is this book so uneven?
I’ve been a big fan of Christopher Rice’s since he published A Density of Souls back in 2001. His style is typically a thriller with just a tinge of supernatural.
There’s no supernatural or even a solid thriller in Rice’s latest, Blind Fall. There is a murder mystery. There is [...]

Four-Oh

in Life in General

Today I turned 40. You know, it’s one of those big birthdays because it has the 0 on the end. It doesn’t feel like I’ve been around that long, but there you go.
I spent lunch today in Bryant Park. It was a perfect weather day: 80 degrees, very low humidity, nice breeze. For some reason, [...]

So You Think You Can Dance

in TV

Yes, we’ve started watching another dance show. I’m not a fan of the So You Think You Can Dance judges, except for the head judge who doesn’t get on my nerves. We tend to record and fast forward though the program just watching the dances, rehearsal footage and the elimination stuff. We can do the [...]

Chelesa Challenge Update: Purple Rain Gets Silver

in Hockey

Purple Rain wrapped up the Chelsea Challenge this morning with a second place win in the tourney after being shut out 5-0 by the Royal Tenenbaums. We gave it our all, but they were simply better. In the end, we were trying to just get a point on the scoreboard because after how well we’d [...]
