Black History Month: Dutch Style
Feb 10th
Stephen Colbert and I had the same thought when we saw the current Heineken beer ad for Black History Month: WTF.

I wonder what my Dutch friends would think of this? Unfortunately ironic, or brilliant marketing?
Here one day…

Somewhat miraculously, the hole in my ceiling was gone when I got home this evening. I’m actually wondering if I was just having a really bad acid trip last night? How? Why?
Was it all a dream?

Seems like only yesterday I was enjoying secret gin & tonic’s by the pool, lapping up the sunshine and home cooking. Today I am trudging my way up to a frigid Tarrytown, drowning in spreadsheets and trying to decide how much coffee-mug-mold is too much.
It was actually last night when it really sunk in that I was back in the US o’ A. There had been earlier inklings, such as having my pants enthusiastically frisked by a US customs agent, sliding on icy sidewalks, being abused by random homeless people and choking back tears of happiness upon seeing a Starbucks.
But it was the woman sitting next to me in last night’s East Village screening of ‘Broken Embraces‘ who started cutting her nails during the movie, who really brought me back to reality.
Snip.. snip.. snip-snip.
You stay classy, women of America.
Voting for Discrimination in New York
Dec 3rd
Below are the email addresses of the New York lawmakers who voted in favor of discrimination yesterday:
’sampson@senate.state.ny.us’; ‘masmith@senate.state.ny.us’; ‘kruger@senate.state.ny.us’; ’stachows@senate.state.ny.us’; ‘diaz@senate.state.ny.us’; ‘addabbo@senate.state.ny.us’; ‘aubertin@senate.state.ny.us’; ‘monserra@senate.state.ny.us’; ’shuntley@senate.state.ny.us’; ‘onorato@senate.state.ny.us’
I just emailed them to point out exactly the contribution I and others are making to their little state – and to thank them; that with all the other challenges facing society – they still take the time to remind me of my lesser value as a human being.
Feel free to do the same – the squeaky wheel, remember.

Rather awesome billboard

Seen en route to matinee performance of Hair with Chris and Lucio.
I was letting the sun shine into my double-shot nonfat short double-cup extra-hot latte immediately after the show.
Bitching
