On Friday, E's cat moved into Chez Frinky (along with some significant fraction of E, herself). My dog (pictured) wasn't even aware of kittie's presence (she was hiding in the basement) for about a day until 5am this morning, we hear at the foot of my stairs "Meow! Meow!" Puppy was too slow on the uptake, so he couldn't eat her (as he would have...

E and I headed of to New York's Lincoln Center last night to watch a live recording/performance of This American Life!
Despite the very late return and the cobwebs this morning, it was so worth it!
It was an all-star show -- a who's who in nerdly writers: Sarah Vowell, Jonathan Goldstein, Dan Savage, and, of course, the man himself, Ira Glass. And for those...

I can't go pro for many reasons! But thanks
So it was E and my first anniversary yesterday, and we celebrated by enjoying restaurant week here in Philly!
Incidentally, did anybody else go to the big march on Washington this past Saturday? It had everything: Jane Fonda, Dennis Kucinich, free hugs, you name it!

What do you think?!

Don't think about it too much. It just means I got some.
It's been quite a while since I've posted, so...
1. It's is freezing out there!
2. Anybody else headed to DC tomorrow?
3. It's almost time for restaurant week!
That is all. Please go about your business.

Because I don't talk about stuff like this, thats why!
Ooh, you have no testimonials, hows that possible? I'm gonna leave you one!
Also, what is restaurant week?

Oh, sorry! I did think he was a beagle but I didn't want to trust my own judgement as I'm not good with the whole species-naming thing. However, I think you may have told me once before.
And you guys are special - thats much more than I'd ever write in a public entry!

We're back from Italy, and we had a ball!
We did everything! The sistine chapel, the colliseum, the Uffizi! Exhausting, but SO MUCH FUN! (Also, we had a friend recommend all the best pizza and gelato in Rome, and boy was he ever right!).
So anyway, happy new year everybody!

the centre of any city is quite scary on new years eve! Glad you survived. How was Italy? Hope you had a great time! Did you eat plenty of gelato? Hope so! God I miss that stuff. Its just not like that in England.
Happy New year!
Happy New year!

Argh okay so I left the note before I actually read the entry. You've answered all my questions. Hooray!
Today's the big day!
E and I are off to Italy for our vacation. Rome, Florence, Bologna! We have lists of good gelato and pizza places from local sources, and definite plans to see some ancient boobs, both painted and sculpted. Plus, maybe we'll even fight a lion or two (Give it a moment. It's a thinker).
Off we go...

So what haven't we done over the last few weeks?
Well, in addition to seeing the Colbert report, we:
- Saw one of my favorite comedians at a club
- Went to the record release for one of my best friends
- Heard the Messiah at the Kimmel center with my folks
- Saw a pretty cool singer/songwriter
- Finished both of our respective terms...

Good Christmas?
Good Christmas?
cherishchain:
it was indeed! 
E and I went to see a live taping of the Colbert Report the other night. Our timeline:
2 hours on the Chinatown bus,
1/2 hour trekking across New York
3 hours in line
1 hour sitting in a waiting room which reminded me of nothing so much as jury duty
1 hour in the studio being "warmed up" by a pretty decent standup comedian...

Nope - still only the two sets submitted. Though I did do a self-shot mini set that had some nice fodder for artistic pics, which is over at Flickr. ^_^

Aww bless you m'dear
Good job, America! We won the House (Congratulations Speaker Pelosi!). We may win the Senate (though I'm reasonably happy with a 4 seat gain). We won how many governorships? And as of this writing, we didn't lose a single seat in either house held by a Dem. South Dakota rejected an outright ban on abortion.

oh! ....then hooray! erm......whens the election?
....Of course, one time a while back I did get gum in my hair, and I was drunk, and all I wanted to do was eat a sandwich whilst my friend tried to force my head under the sink. And I can't say I've felt quite like that about anything since....
Hmm.
