If you build it…
Saturday, June 28th, 2008

Just over a year ago, this was a field. Now it’s a veritable shrine to commerce and over indulgence — over-priced boutiques, food, and booze, all within walking (stumbling?) distance of the insanely priced condos one floor up. Still, it’s got a nice, fat Barnes & Noble, and that’s why I’m here.
Incidentally, the new B&N [...]

Happy solstice!

Fire and molten marshmallows
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

Just another diamond day…
Monday, June 16th, 2008

Since I’m just setting this all up, I thought I’d send this along. This is my desk. If you’re ever wondering where I am on any given Monday through Friday, come back to this page — because I’m at work, and this is what I’m seeing. (This entry’s title is a Vashti Bunyan song, in [...]

Pour some sugar on me!
Sunday, June 15th, 2008

Actually, don’t. But Def Leppard did put on a damn good show last summer. (I had to post this one before I deleted it!)
