First off, thank you to several friendly people who informed me that “Beets and Horseradish” is like, a totally commonplace thing in Jewish households. Ok then! I can be taught. I might even try it and make a YouTube video about it. You never know!
It’s the weekend, so I’m cleaning and getting organized. Part of that routine now involves backing up all the photos in my phone and all the notes I’ve made that week in my notebook by using the Doxie Go scanner and Dropbox.
First up: here’s a guy wearing a fringety fringe fringey jacket when it’s 78 degrees in New York City. This is one of the reasons I love New York, man– if you’re just a dude, and you super love your black fringe jacket and you want to come here and wear it– GO AHEAD, MAN. That’s what we’re all about here– accepting you no matter how you want to look. In fact, I saw a guy walking down the street the other day with a cat on his head, and (here’s what I love about New Yorkers)– no one was even looking at him. You’re going to have to get up pretty early in the morning to turn heads in New York, my friends. Actually, I’m not saying the black suede fringe guy was trying to turn heads. I’m saying– that jacket/ hat combo is his THING, and he wants to just wear it and for people not to give him a hard time about it because it’s black and it’s probably too hot for that jacket, or because the jacket has shoulder pads. WEAR THAT JACKET, BRO. This is New York City.
Here is a photo I took in a bodega, then texted to Stephan with the caption “Settle down with all the value adds,” to which he texted back “All I want is a f%^ing cookie.”
Here is a truck we saw while out walking. I feel like this, right here, is what is wrong with most websites– we call this the “burden of too much choice,” or, as Stephan put it when we stopped to take the photo: JESUS CHRIST, I DON’T KNOW MY OWN NAME ANYMORE.”
In closing, here is a skunk with full-on rabies. If you see a skunk like this, can I recommend that you not get this close? Good thing I have a client who specializes in wildlife removal. If you want to see how f-ed up this skunk was, I also have video.
