Do you like SEE-food?
A good rule of thumb is you should NEVER eat an item that may stare back at you and/or crawl away during the consumption process - even if it is something as small as a shrimp. For more information, go to the restaurant Oliva on the corner of E. Houston and Allen Streets, and order the unpronouncable salad with shrimp, tuna and other miscellaneous things. But don't say I didn't warn you...

Clumsy Stupid Am I
I've had more than my share of clumsy incidents lately: First, I fall down a flight of stairs in Los Angeles (luckily both my nice pants and legs escaped unscathed). Not even an hour later, I swipe my inner upper arm into a corner of plexiglass, causing a very ugly, longstanding purple bruise. Being a fairly unclumsy person, I dismiss these incidents as being a result of vacation happies or jet lag.
However, when I return to New York, the clumsiness re-appears! I (in no particular order): fall while running, causing a painful cut & bruise on my knees; spill buttered popcorn all over my jeans; drop my bag in a movie theater, temporarily losing my wallet; trip several times; and spill restaurant water. If you have any insight as to what might be causing this, drop me a line. (Sorry, I've already ruled out spousal abuse, alcoholism and drugs.)

X-Games FEVER!
I've recently returned from a fantastic vacation in Los Angeles, where I attended my first ever ESPN X-Games competition. What can I say? It was a blast! With VIP access (thanks to Kim & her connections), I was able to view every event from prime seats, while having access to parties & endless free food and drinks. Most importantly, I witnessed Tony Hawk do his signature 900 trick! Little did I know that this was history in the making. After winning the Best Vert Trick Gold Medal, he announced his retirement from competition, marking an extremely momentous (yet sad) event in the sport of skateboarding.

The BEST CD Store In The World!
While the NYC is my place to be, there are still some things I miss about my ex-abode of Boston, MA: The plethora of historical joints, superb ice cream, cleanliness, great music, easy access to the Cheesecake Factory, Good Will Hunting hot spots, my friends. But what I miss MOST is Newbury Comics, my favorite record store ever. Anyone who's ever been in Boston for an extended period of time should know what I'm talking about. They consistenly stock quality product, and always sell the bestselling CD's at low costs (usually $12.88 or below). Plus, you can usually find an array of DVD's, comics and hipster novelties too. Unfortunately, they're still a little behind in the e-commerce department, but if you're planning a trip to Beantown anytime soon, they're definitely worth a visit...or two.

Breaking News: Teens Are Happy and Crap
According to a study by the infamous Horatio Alger Association, 75 percent of high school students "get along very well or even extremely well with their parents or guardians." Wait, what?! First, the teen pregnancy rate goes down, and now...kids...are gettting... along...with their parents?? This is highly upsetting. I mean, how are we ever going to bring back the ABC afterschool special if the youth of today are solving their own problems?!
