Soul Claps
Rock songs can be made better by some strategically placed “soul claps”. I got the term “soul claps” from an old boyfriend, and it’s really the perfect term for the few claps in rock songs that everyone notices. We have to throw “soul” in there because that’s where these rockers get the idea, from soul music. Some songs have them through out, but...

Crush of the Month
This month, I can’t get enough Viggo Mortensen. I think it’s maybe cause I bought the LOTR trilogy for Todd and we watched them all at once. Damn, he is good looking! I would totally hit that. Also, I found out recently, that, as weird as this sounds, he has a child with/was married to Exene Cervenka. How crazy is that?

Iggy
Last night I dreamt I was at an Iggy Pop show. I had a spot on the stage (I think I got this through my job) to view him from. He was rocking out and then he just died, on stage, mid show. The weird part is, no one seemed to really be surprised or care. They just got up and left like it was no big deal.

January's Cake. German Chocolate.
There it is! My first cake of the year, German Chocolate Cake. As I stated in a previous post, I am going to bake a cake every month this year. I decided to start with a challenging one. Before tackling this behemoth, I read up on it. Did you know that German Chocolate Cake is not German? I did not. According to Wikipedia, the world’s most trusty source of information:
“Its...

Sleep No More
I had eventful day yesterday. It started at 7am and me having Jury Duty! I got myself to downtown Brooklyn by 8:30 and got cozy in the waiting room where I stayed for 8 HOURS! They never called my name. What a gyp! I actually would have liked to be a juror. At least I don’t have to go back for 8 years…and they showed a hilarious video with re-enactments of how justice was done back in...

Chatters
There’s nothing I hate more than a band that feels they need to tell a story between every song. The only time this is okay is if you have been around for at least 30 years, like, say, The Stones. They can tell as many anecdotes as they wish. They have earned it. Otherwise, shut the fuck up and play some GD music.

Food
That is all I care about and think about.
Constantly.
What I just ate, what will I eat next, what can I try to cook, how do I cook that, what is that disturbing looking object, what do people think of my food, et cetera…
So in the new year I am going to do several things with food:
1. Make the perfect steak. For this I will need a cast iron skillet and some kind of ventilation system.

Specialty Stores be Jammin'
I have been to three specialty food stores in the last 24 hours and have had to wait an average of 30 minutes at each for some food. I just want one item. Other people are buying enough food to last the winter. Damn, son. I do like that all these stores still use the “take a number” method though.

Killed By Squirrels
Sometimes I let Hank chase squirrels cause he likes to. Sometimes I catch the squirrels staring at me after Hank has failed to catch them and they are halfway up a tree scared shitless. In my mind, I think they are memorizing my face so they can plot my death, either by assault with nuts or by scratching.

It's Cookie Time
Every year I make cookies for my dear friends. I always make Chocolate Molasses Spice cookies and Jam Thumbprints. This year I am also making Buckeyes and Almond Cranberry Cookies.
First up are the Chocolate Molasses Spice Cookies. I got this recipe from my ex boyfriend’s mom. She made the best sweets. Ever since I got the recipe, probably 8 years ago, I have been making these every...

Kurt Russell in the movie Silkwood.
You know, the movie where Meryl Streep has the sick mullet? The man is super sexy. Look at that bod and those dimples. He’s also pretty hot in The Thing and Tombstone. Good news, ladies. Even though he and Goldie have been together since I was born basically, they have never married, so he’s available! Watch Deathproof and Escape from New...

Our Super, a Major Asshole
So our super doesn’t turn on the heat. I found out today that he does this on purpose because he finds cold tenants to be babies. Why is this man alive?

In Other News...
I had another brush with fame this afternoon after my dental appointment.
As I was crossing 2nd avenue, a car was approaching the red light next to me. I looked up and is was none other than the infamous Jimmy McMillan driving in his “Rent is too damn high!” car. Literally. It said “the rent is too damn high” all over it. I smiled and waved at him. He gave me the thumbs...

Type of Music you like = The Way you act at a Bar
I have observed somethings working at the same venue for 3 years.
Some shows draw retarded and lazy people. Some shows draw smart people who can figure shit out on their own. Some draw bad tippers more than others. Some draw non drinkers. Some draw the high maintenance people. It basically all works out in my favor, but it’s still interesting.
For example, one night this week, I answered...

My Grandmother Lived to be 102
This is a fact. I was just reading an article in this weeks NY Mag about these four siblings who have all live over 100 years. Three are still alive at ages 108, 105 and 101. The only reason the fourth died (at the ripe age of 101) was because she had an accident, not because of health issues.
These siblings have not lead overly health conscious lives (one smoked for years and ate beef all the...

Do Ya'll Remember Cribs? →
Well, this is The Selby. It’s like MTV Cribs only the people have taste and style. Good Taste and Good style. My dream is to one day have a place nice enough to be featured.
Do ya’ll remember Cribs? 98% of the people featured had no/bad taste. They shopped at like Ashley Furniture and had no art work or knick knacks. Everything was taupe and hideous. The only thing of interest was...
