A two-week old issue of New York magazine was sprawled on my couch.
I’ve spent the past three weeks working long hours at a web start-up, so my entire life is an unapologetic mess. I spent the morning cleaning, when I found the magazine, without any idea how it got there. Usually my habit is to pile… Read More
I think most, if not all New Yorkers would agree, that winter in the city is a frosted version of hell. Whether it be the snow piled high enough to drown a teenager, or the cutting wind that chaps the necks of unsuspecting tourists, the Big Apple doesn’t seem so delectable when seen through the filter of a… Read More

About a month ago, I saw this video of Bush and the Prime Minister of the Philippines. For some reason, our ever-tactful President decided that the best way to compliment an entire nation and its leader was to mention how much he loves Philippino cooking. It’s pretty terrible:
The first time I saw the video, I got… Read More

I’m seriously making the most grossed-out face of all time.
Vampires are all the rage right now, and no, it’s not 1994 and I’m not reviewing Interview with a Vampire although it would go something like this (in 1994 twelve year old Taylor speak) “oh wow, I was… Read More

I’ve never actually seen birds dance like they do in this video. Even in the beautiful documentary Winged Migration there was never something so complex as this.

I just went to a fantastic wedding. The pic is of the happy couple, my cousin and her man. I will not bore you with details, but I had about as much fun as you can have in 24 hours. On the drive back to the city I had a long talk with my cousins about how… Read More

The other night CB and I began drawing on his couch. CB has this idea that he’s going to get everyone to draw and sign it. I think he’s onto something here. So if you’re in the lower east side, and think you’ve got a little artistry in you. There is a home for you to go… Read More

It was the last days of the Apprentice 3. I had met the Donald enough times that I had declined to ride in a limo with him. Which seems silly in retrospect. Either way I knew I didn’t want to do another year of reality shows (even though they are pretty bizarre sometimes).
In the end I… Read More
I’m not a vengeful guy, and I’ve never been in a relationship where I’ve had use for a malicious “Welcome to Dumpsville, Population: You” mix. But as a Hornsby-esque music obsessive, who has spent half of his adult life creating meaning from song lists, I appreciate the art of making a great break up… Read More

The tagline for the 1944 film To Have and Have Not is “Humphrey Bogart… with his kind of woman in a powerful adaptation of Ernest Hemingway’s most daring man-woman story!”
The tagline for the 1987 film The Running Man is “A game nobody survives… But Schwarzenegger has yet to play.”
They’re worth comparing because it takes a… Read More
Tomorrow marks 100 days since the BP oil spill in the gulf. I know they “successfully” capped it, but as long as that sucker is still leaking, I’m saying there is still an oil spill. But this disaster got me thinking a lot about the good old days of folk – when popular music regularly included anthems… Read More
When I was in my formative high school days, going to the Warped Tour was a highlight of the summer. Just old enough to drive, we’d pile about 9 bros and skateboards into mom-duke’s Ford Exploder and drive at high speed to Fitchburg or some other pseudo-municipality in middle Massachusetts, blasting Rage Against The Machine and… Read More
