best song title ever


Once upon a time I opened a juice bar on the lower east side with a friend and almost from day one our most regular and best customer was the lead singer of the Crash Test Dummies.

When asked if he was working on anything new he would always respond with, "I'm really in to Gregorian chanting right now"

But are you working on anything new?

that's what Jon said


It's funny how one missing letter makes such a difference.  This was on the menu at rai rai ken where Meghan and I had dinner last night.

I can't believe my whirlwind trip is already over and I'm back at JFK waiting for my flight.  It was a really nice visit to nyc but I'm anxious to get home to the detective and the sunshine.

Wish me safe travels!

amazing graffiti!!

So this is an ad on the side of a bus stop on the LES that I found on Friday night. It's an ad for Evian and it made me laugh that she is so beautiful and austere and has this funny little pencil thin mustache.

Well as I was walking past it I noticed that the advertisement was behind a sheet of plastic and that the graffit0-tagger had drawn the mustache on the plastic on the outside. As I was passing I thought, "well that's going to be funny when they replace the advertisement with something else and it has a random mustache floating in the middle of it".

No sooner had the thought crossed my mind and the advertisement changed. It was one of those scrolly ads that rolls back and forth between two different ads, so this was the one that it scrolled to:



How funny is that!? It seriously made my night that the placement was so perfect for both of them. Do you think they drew the mustache on her or on him? Do you think they planned it like this or not? I hope whatever they replace this ad with it also has a person's face right in the center of it.
