POST CARD FROM THE EAST

I went to a party down south last weekend. The view of the harbor from the roof of this place was worth the gustiness. Wow. Then I was helping my friend Kelly#3 apartment hunt in williamsburg. I know 4 Kellies now so I have to resort to nomenclature. But it made me wonder why I don't live in brooklyn. Yeah I have a not so bad apartment. It has a nice view--

--as you can see and a 5 minute commute to work across the street. But I can't help but wonder if my life would be irrevokably changed if I too bought my coffee from women with pierced nipples. Would I, like Gwenyth, have some sliding doors moment after devouring a fish taco? Certainly not here, past the areas where people are on the streets on sunny days, on upper east side. I'm thinking of defecting...
Until then, I finally ordered a fancy new G5 computer at work to replace my old workstation that blew its motherboard in the great blackout (aka Adult Snow Day 2003). So this site should be updated more regularily with my idiotic banter. I'll be writing my preliminary exam for my PhD through december and I have absolutely no interest at all in any of iit...so pop culture research will be high on my procrastination priorities.
I'm on jury duty for the next couple days so some good stories may come out of that. I fell in love (from afar) with a girl in my last jury pool and stared at her for three days in a row.
