I drove by the new Super Buy-Rite near my place in Jersey City and it looks sick! It’s huge! The state’s largest at 27,000 square feet, carries 1,500 types of beer, more than 8,000 wines and a crazy array of hard liquor! …and real easy to get to, about 500 feet from the Holland Tunnel.
“The Museum of Modern Art gets inside the head of the supergoth auteur, harnessing his childlike energy and eerie charm.”
I’m really looking forward to this!
I’m a big fan of Mallisser’s photography, I love Coney Island, and really appreciate this shot in particular… see the building in the middle, beyond the Aquarium? I lived there until I was 17. Talk about an awesome backyard, huh?
I catch myself spending too much time with social media and not paying enough attention to my family and friends that love and care for me. I’m seeking a happy in between, as I’ve also met such incredible people on the Internets!
Romeo guinea pig causes baby boom
“A guinea pig called Sooty enjoyed a night of passion with 24 females after fooling his way into their cage in south Wales. Sooty wooed the lady guinea pigs, one by one, and has now become the proud father of 42 baby guinea pigs from his two nights of passion. His endeavours left staff at Little Friend’s Farm, Hopkinstown, Pontypridd, amazed at his stamina. Park owner Carol Feehan, 42, said: “I’m sure a lot of men will be looking at Sooty with envy.” (via BBC News)
I went to my second PT session today since my knee surgery three weeks ago and wasn’t expecting to see this much progress so soon. It wasn’t just a torn ACL but also the MCL and LCL so the PT was delayed. I still have a no bend order from the surgeon until next week. The exercises and stretches we’re doing at PT feel so good. No, let me be more accurate.. they hurt so good. No matter, I want to come back better than ever so I’m ready to do whatever I need to. The PT wants me to start putting as much weight on my leg as I can and I’m already bearing 75% with the crutches. I hope to be off these damn things by end of next week? Or, at least down to one!? It’s real easy to make a PB&J with a cup of coffee, but it’s a bitch to get it to the table without hands. I’m getting a little tired of that. When asked what my physical lifestyle entails I told the PT that I love to ski, that I am always on my blades, and that I want to participate in Westchester’s olympic distance triathlon in September — she said there is a good chance!! That would be an awesome comeback and is such an exciting goal for me.
One of my favorite photos of vintage New York City. This is Times Square, circa 1950.

The MoMA’s career retrospective of Tim Burton begins November 22 and will consist of a gallery exhibition and film series.
Above is “Untitled” from The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories (1982–84, pen and ink, marker, and colored pencil on paper).
Another very useful list provided by Time Out NY - “It’s getting darker and chillier outside by the minute. Just thinking about it makes us want to toss one back.”
I’m very sad to say that Bailey passed away last week. He was a wonderful dog. He was incredibly smart, and kind and loving to our family. In his prime, he had the balls to bite an off duty police officer directly on the ass when that jackass was yelling at my mom (long story).
He was one of my oldest friends.
Miss you Bail. I’ll never forget you.
A funny story about Bailey, though it’s so sad that he passed on. I’m very sorry. Please let it comfort you to know that he is with my Shady Lady and they are enjoying their time running around heaven together until we join them.
