Gisele
How would you feel about this if you were Bridget Moynahan?
Giselle Bundchen recently did an interview for Vanity Fair magazine and talked about Tom Brady and Bridget Monyhan's son (her stepson.) After saying she has never met Bridget, she said:
I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it’s not like because somebody else delivered him, that’s not my child. I feel it is, 100 percent. I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that’s important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine. I already feel like he’s my son, from the first day.”
On one hand, it's nice to know your child is so incredibly loved when he isn't with you—you'd hate to think he's around someone who doesn't love him completely. But on the other hand, he's not her child, you know?
Maybe what she was trying to say came out wrong.

My Those
Nora and I were playing outside today and decided to go on her seesaw. I wasn't wearing a bra because I washed it earlier and it was hanging to dry, but I didn't think much of it because it was just the two of us. As I started "flopping" up and down Nora pointed to my chest and said, "I can see your those."
"My what?" I asked because I didn't have a clue what she was talking about.
"Those," she said, and then she reached over and slapped one of my boobs.

He's Doing It Again
My dad. This is what he does: He tells you all the jokes that his friends forward to him on the internet, and then if he forgets one, he asks to borrow a laptop and starts going through his email, reading them aloud.
He's been at it all day long.
"Did I tell you the one about the dog urinating?"
"Yes, Dad, you did."
UPDATE: It's 8:55 and he's still reading jokes.

Favorite NYC Meals
I'm going to Pearl Oyster Bar for dinner tonight with my friend Patty and it got me thinking of some of the best meals I've ever had in New York City. Here they are, in no particular order.
UPDATE: I've linked to pictures. (Most were copyrighted.)
Lobster roll from Pearl Oyster Bar. Picture.
Eggs en meurette (breakfast/brunch entree) from Landmarc. (Bacon, onions, and mushrooms in a red wine sauce over eggs. It's kind of like stew and eggs.) Picture.
Slow-cooked short ribs from Cookshop. (It's a dinner special they sometimes offer. If someone from Cookshop is reading this, it really should be a permanent part of your menu.) Can't find a picture, but here's what the place looks like.
Dátiles con Béicon from Boqueria. (Almond-stuffed dates wrapped in bacon.) Picture.
Onion soup gratinée and the late night giant burger with fries from Bar Tabac. Picture of the soup & fries.
The big ass burrito with vegetables and a margarita (or two) from Pacifico, a local favorite. Can't find a picture of the burrito, but here's what the place looks like.
Oysters six ways from Jack's Luxury Oyster Bar. Picture. (Pic is at their old location on 5th Street, which is the one at which I dined. I haven't been since they moved.)
Vanilla/vanilla cupcake from Magnolia Bakery. (I feel very strongly about the vanilla/vanilla. The chocolate is not nearly as good.) Picture.
I'm trying to think of more.
What are some of your favorite meals from NYC restaurants?
PS - I don't eat meat anymore but just noticed that four of my favorite meals contain it.
PPS - It's funny because when I think of some of the most famous NYC restaurants that I've been to like Nobu et al., nothing I ate stands out as amazing. (I mean, the food was good and all, but not as memorable as anything on my above list. Including the rock shrimp from Nobu, in case anyone tries to correct me. It's fine, not to-die-for.)
Snuggie Improvements
So after using my Snuggie for a few weeks now, I've come up with a few ways to improve it.
(PS - I talked about these ideas with the wonderful Kix Chicks—Jennifer and Linda—from Kix 106 FM in Kitchener, Ontario this morning. It was so fun! I love Canadians... Thanks, ladies!)
Okay, here goes:
1) Use a different fabric. The thing is a static machine. Bev and Elvis are not fans of the shocks that accompany this:
2) Add a see-through vinyl panel for those super cold days (yesterday) so you can be completely covered up but still watch TV.
3) Add zipper to said panel so you can snack without uncovering.
4) Add insulated snack pouch so said snacks are easily accessible. The Snuggie is hard to walk in so kitchen runs are not easy.
How would you improve it?

My Favorite Sandals: Kork-Ease
I want to introduce you to my favorite shoes. They're called Kork-Ease and they were really big in the 70s. Here's a link to a little history about them. They were originally made in Brooklyn.
Originally created in the 50's as a comfort shoe, Kork-Ease burst into the fashion scene as a must-have in the 70's. Bette Midler wore them. Designer Betsy Johnson owned at least 10 pairs. Any respectable hipster under 30 owned at least one pair of them. Celebrated and adored, Kork-Ease spawned a variety of wedge 'wanabees.'"
Last summer I got a pair and wore them every single day. In fact, I wore them until they fell apart. (But, I walked all over creation in them so I don't hold it against the company.) They were the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I could walk for miles and miles and miles in them and my feet would never get tired. They never gave me blisters either.
I'm going to get another pair this summer but I'm not sure what color to get. I had them in natural (pictured above) and I'm thinking about getting the same color again because they went with everything. But I really like the brown, too, and even the black is cute. (But my feet are usually pretty pasty and black sandals don't look very good on me.)
The style I had was the "Ava" and that's what I'll get again. They gave me height but weren't too tall. The taller ones—the "Bette"—would be cute for a night out but not for every day. And the shorter ones—the "Myrna" —are too short for me.
The Ava in brown and black:
The Bette in some other colors I like:
Decisions, decisions.
Bill O'Reilly's Dirty Audio Book

Bill O'Reilly recorded an audio version of a book he wrote years ago and someone pulled some really amazing clips from it.

Magic Tonic
My new favorite drink.
Plain seltzer water and a slice of... not a lime, not a lemon... but a grapefruit. It's deeelicious!

Ted Haggard On Divorce Court
Mark booked Ted Haggard and is wife to appear on Divorce Court!
Get the TiVo ready: Haggards going on 'Divorce Court'
The Haggards are in Los Angeles to tape an appearance on Universal Fox's "Divorce Court," which will be broadcast nationally on April 1 and air locally on Fox 21, KRMX.
The show's presiding judge, Lynn Toler, is interviewing the couple about how their marriage survived in the wake of the 2006 revelation that Haggard, founder and former pastor of New Life Church, was having a sexual relationship with a Denver male escort.
The Haggards say their marriage and Christian faith are stronger than ever, and they want people to know that divorce is not the answer.
"This is part of Ted's journey," Gayle Haggard said. "It's made him a better man. I see what has happened as a divine rescue."
Several weeks ago, "Divorce Court" producers asked the Haggards to appear on the show to talk about their marriage, executive producer Mark Koberg said. "Divorce Court" sometimes sets aside court drama to feature Toler's interview of a well-known married couple.
Yay, Mark! Can't wait to watch!

The Met
I'm going to The Met today and I'm going to bring my camera. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad me hasn't been there since, um, I moved here nine years ago. It's not that I don't go to museums, I just haven't been to The Met since then. The last one I visited was the museum at the International Center for Photography in January. (I learned all about the Kurds.) And before that it was the New Museum. (Hell, yes!) I feel I need to tell you these things so you don't think I'm uncultured. I'm not, I just haven't been to The Met since 2000/2001-ish. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad me.
UPDATE: I just remembered that when my cousin Katie came to town at the end of 2007, we visited The Met and did a loop de loop around the first floor and checked out the store. So, you see, I have been there since 2000-ish, I just didn't see any exhibits.

Slow Blog
I am so irritated with this blog. It has been loading so slowly for the past few months and I have no idea why. I took down all the advertising because I initially thought it was that. I took down the background image and replaced it with all black. I've removed the twitter feed thinking it was that. (It wasn't, so I put it back up.) I've taken down every other sidebar widget to see if it was one of those. (It wasn't.) Now I've just taken down all the pictures of my books, thinking it was them.
BUT IT'S STILL TAKING FOREVER TO LOAD.
I want to scream, I'm so irritated.
Per the status bar on the bottom, it seems to get stuck on feeds2.feedburner.com, which is my blog feed. I disabled the link at the top to subscribe, so would it still be pulling something from that?
I'm so confused. Can anyone help me and tell me why it's loading so slowly?

- Going to Trixie and Peanut to buy Beverly a new leash! www.trixieandpeanut.com/ #
Bev's Leash
Beverly's leash disappeared when I was in Los Angeles. I'm not saying Mark and David stole it, but the circumstances surrounding its disappearance are rather suspicious. I mean, one day I had it, and the next I didn't. The only logical explanation is that someone took it.
I've already ruled out Carmella the cleaning lady. I had a nice conversation with her while she was cleaning the kitchen one day and she told me that her apartment building doesn't allow dogs so she doesn't have one. I've also ruled out Heidi the dog walker because she doesn't come upstairs when she picks up Brisco and Gertie, and that's where the leash was. The only people in close proximity of it were Mark and David, so you can draw your own conclusions.
They claim to have looked for it in my bedroom at their house, but I don't think they did a thorough enough job. I mean, did they lift up the carpet? Look under the bed? In the closet? They also keep telling me to look inside my suitcase, like I haven't already done that and emptied the thing out. I think they're trying to send me on a wild goose chase to throw me off their trail. I mean, don't you see why I'm suspicious? How does a leash just disappear?
Two gay men steal it, that's how.
Anywho, Bev and I just dropped forty big ones on a new one today at Trixie and Peanut, because that's how much the one we decided upon cost. It's a beautiful striped Ella Dish number that resembles her last one, but the colors are different and don't exactly go with her red harness, which kind of bums me out.
I want her old leash back. It has sentimental value. I made this sign. There's a reward attached to the person who finds it.
Here's a close-up:
M. Ward, The Go-Getter
The other night I was browsing around iTunes and downloaded a few songs by an artist named M. Ward. It was one of those Genius recommendations and I really liked him. One of my favorite songs by him is one he sings with Zooey Deschanel (the actress, whom I love) called "Never Had Nobody Like You." I even made it my MySpace song.
So anyway, tonight I'm browsing around movies on-demand and come across one called The Go-Getter with Lou Taylor Pucci (from Thumbsucker, a movie I loved) and surprise! Zooey Deschanel. I'm watching it right now and I really like it, so I do a Google search and find the website. On it is a link to a review that says...
A few unlikely scenes are overly self-indulgent, but the film makes up for the lapses with beautiful cinematography and M. Ward's languorous score (this is the project that inspired musical duo Deschanel and Ward to become She & Him)."
So then I think, Oh, I know M. Ward, I just downloaded a bunch of his songs. And then I think, I have some She & Him on my iPod, too.
That's all.

So Sad
Robert Guskind, the guy who ran a neighborhood blog I read all the time, Gowanus Lounge, died Wednesday.
Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn: Gowanus Lounge, You Had Brooklyn's Back. And For That We Thank You
From the article...
So let me simply say: This is a sad day for all who love Brooklyn and cherish its neighborhoods and the spunky, historic charm and faded beauty of places, like Coney Island, that loom so large in the American imagination.
As a journalist, Bob was looking out for this borough and trying to protect it from the forces of money and development that swept through these parts like a reckless tornado.
Bob, you had Brooklyn's back. And for that we will always remember you. Thank you for you hard work and your belief that change is possible in the form of good reporting, a well-crafted blog post, and photographs that speak volumes.
I didn't know him personally, but he occasionally posted some of my pictures on Gowanus Lounge and he seemed like a really nice guy.
Here's a link to Bob's pictures on Flickr.
Also, Miss Heather at New York Shitty posted a video the two of them made together a few days ago.
My thoughts go out to his friends and family.

You know what bugs me? When people that you haven't seen in a while befriend you on Facebook and then don't take the time to read your profile. Instead, they write something stupid on your wall like, "So, are you still living in Chicago?"
I mean, you don't even need to click the Info tab to know that I'm not living in Chicago anymore—it's listed right underneath my freakin' picture, idiot.
See?
When I reconnect with someone who I haven't seen in a while, I take the time to look at they're profile, see what they're doing, where they're living, look at their pictures, etc., and then I ask my questions. I do my research. This person didn't. But, that's probably why he's doing porn to make a living... he not so smart.
I might unfriend this person now because his laziness bugs me.
I just needed to vent, sorry.

Billy Elliot
Oh, wow... was it ever amazing.
First, sorry for the delay in posting this, but I'm sick. Again. Every time I go to my sister's house I leave with a cold of some sort. It's the kids... I love them, but I'm beginning to believe that all little kids are germ farms.
So anywho, despite the fact that I was feeling like crap yesterday, I went to see Billy Elliot last night and had a glorious time. I went my new friend Jenny who lives in my neighborhood. She's so nice. Here's a link to her blog.
If you know about the show, three different boys alternate playing the role of Billy. We had David Alvarez, a classically trained ballerina and an adorable little kid. His dancing blew me away. He's Cuban, but from Canada, and his family moved to New York so he could attend The American Ballet Theater's Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School. (To which he received a full scholarship, btw.)
Here are the boys on The View:
Because they alternate playing the lead role of Billy, there was all sorts of chatter about this year's Tony Awards, and the administration committee just ruled that they'll be considered jointly for a nomination. So, if they're nominated and win, they'll share the Tony. I hope they do!
What else... Oh, we had the understudy for the dance teacher, Mrs. Wilkinson. Her name was Jayne Paterson and she was so good that I have a hard time believing the other one could be better. So party on, Jayne. You rocked it.
Go see the show! Men, women, children—it's something everyone will enjoy. It's at the Imperial Theater (which, btw alchies, has a bar inside the theater [as opposed to the lobby] so you can bring your drinks back to your seat and party through the performance) and they're selling tickets from now through January 2010.
