Got a few interesting thoughts:

1- walking is wonderful. i especially love the city since you know a) how far you're going to walk and b) how long it will take. 20 blocks = 1 mile. 1 block/min usually. (depends how drunk). and walking home at like 3am each night (since i haven't got much to wake up for) is tons of fun. the scariest section of broadway is always 94th-102nd. There's some scary people out there. but it's funny, the west side of the street is noticeably safer (or at least it feels that way) than the east side.

2- watched some HDTV at caitlin's cousin's place tonight... hi def is pretty fucking awesome. on a plasma screen. very pimp. too bad we watched absolute shit. the picture and sound keeps improving, but alas, the quality of programming still sucks my ass -- we watched paris hilton's show "simple life," which was abysmal.

3- tomorrow (or rather, 8 hours from now) is a big day. new years baby... gotta prepare with lots of sleep to get busy getting drunk and therefore happy. i need to make a list of new years resolutions. i never did that. my first resolution will be to meet more women. how about that. good thing this isn't rosh hashana (jewish new year) where your resolutions are supposed to be things like, treat my friend jon better and stop yelling at my mom. no, this is the american new year-- with american resolutions... like, stop eating so much, and make more money. these are more on the personal level.

4- i made some awesome burritos with stir fry vegs with jalapenos and honey, and beans, and sour cream and green salsa. good shit. i like cooking. i think i'd do it more, but my refrigerator has no light, my freezer has 3 feet of ice caked inside, and my oven doesn't work. i think i'ev said this before.

5- ahh, freddy krueger.:

- nightmare on elm street part 6; freddy's dead. i'm starting to LOVE the series or whateve ryou call 10 sequels. freddy is funny and has quite a humorous side for a guy who apparently killed lots of children in his hayday, as the story goes. interestingly, this movie, when it was released in 91, had the finale scene in 3D -- where the audience actually had 3D glasses they put on. i didnt know this until, lo and behold, the main character, just before she goes into her dream, takes with her a pair of those 3D glasses. waht a fucking gimmick!!! so it was clear that THAT's when you, the dumb audience, should put on your glasses. and the next step, of course, is the point of view shot of the woman looking at her hand, reaching around and remarking "it's so real!" or something like that. nevertheless, this film was fucking great. the other point of interest is the fact that it's title, "freddy's dead" doesn't really ring true. 2 more films were made, at least, after this one. but the latest, 'freddy v jason', seems noteworthy. freddy is actually able to kill jason, this HUGE beast of a horror villain... but freddy, in this film, gets his ass whooped by a chick who really has no special moves (and no big machete), and manages to wail on freddy -- he didnt even really fight back. it was like playing street fighter on genesis with no one as the other player.... you just wail on the other guy and he doesnt fight back so you can do all kinds of cool moves on him. i guess you'll just have to watch and see.

- SWAT -- fun film, nothing too special. ending scene was kinda lame, especially for such a cool opening scene.

I went to the museum of natural history with my mom today and saw the Imax "volcanoes of the deep sea." A cool film, but not very well written. Then we went to a nearby restaurant where they served us not regular fries but garlic fries. So right now you really don't want to come near me. That shit made me stink so bad. but it tasted SOOO good.

I'm back baby... I'm back. Ready to get back to tending to my blog and keeping it updated. It's been a little while, I know, but baby, I'm back in action. (this will last maybe a week)

Two fun things today:

1- Apparently the old hag from Goonies lives down my block. I saw her being pushed in a wheelchair into a building at my corner. I was scared to say hi. If evil could be all wrapped up into an old woman being pushed in a wheelchair, she would be that woman.

Hmm.. after some detective work (trying to find her photo on line to link to) it seems that actress (Anne Mobley, who played Mama Fratelli) died about 15 years ago. Maybe a relative. Maybe a twin. Maybe just another old angry looking woman.

2- I went home today (back to larchmont). I take the M60 bus from 110th to the Harlem Metro North station, then the metro north about 30 min. Bus ride is usually fine, but today there was a dumb bitch on a cell phone. This bitch was such a pain in my ass. Allow me to explain. The bus was filled with quiet people. THis bitch gets on, babbling on her cell phone at the top of her god awful lungs which I wished the entire time would collapse. I can't fucking stand people like that. Oh, but it gets better. Not one stop after she gets on, ANOTHER obnoxiously loud person gets on. THis guy is singing his russian music (he had blasting headphones on which i could hear several seats away). Anyway, he sits behind her. I'm like, awesome, a shouting contest. who will win. i dont know. i hope the winner has a fucking heart attack though.

But wait... it gets better. The original bitch gets off the bus with me at the Harlem train station and follows me across the street, still YELLING on her fucking cell phone. I'm like, WTF, why can't i get away from this bitch. Finally i get on a train and go home for the day...

Only to return at around 9pm, get out of the station and wait for the M60 right outside. When guess who shows up... bitch with the mouth. I can't believe my luck. She was no longer on her cell phone. I almost didnt recognize her since she was so quiet. She got on a diff't bus.
