Don't shush me!

Though a fan of his oeuvre overall, I have been quite disappointed by Chuck Palahniuk’s last 3 novels: Rant, Snuff, and most recently, Pygmy. I am, however, currently and thoroughly enjoying The Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster.

And while I’m on the topic, I might as well mention how much I loved Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections. Devoured it back in February while vacationing in Mexico. On the plane, next to the pool, couldn’t put it down. 566 pages, and I still didn’t want it to end. Remember kids, reading is fundamental. Emphasis on fun.

Last night

Joan Rivers at the Gramercy (Blender) Theatre, followed by edamame dumplings and then chocolate soup dumplings at Rickshaw Dumplings. Hilarity, deliciousness. I love that my nearly lifelong best friend is a city-savvy gay man.

Because of the anchor’s great importance in navigation it is regarded as a symbol of safety, luck and hope. Wearing the hook towards your heart shows that your heart is taken and wearing it away shows you are available and inviting love and good fortune.

Behind-the-scenes of Conan O’Brien’s Tonight Show premiere cold open.

If you saw the cold open from the premiere, you know that it was epic, to say the least. What makes it more amazing is that they shot the entire thing in a single weekend.
