vanity
as far as i can tell, southern california is the mecca of personalized license plates. these two tied as my number-one-favorite: “cptalst” on a new fancy german convertable “mdlfe cx” on a very, very yellow souped-up pickup truck i guess that they know the “it’s funny because it’s true” cliche is now, well, cliche. and, […]

just another saturday night
so, more than a month without a post… not that anyone should be all that surprised. i found a draft of a post called “ow my liver” about a wonderful but very drunken weekend with the vanya and st. joan casts, steve cramer, and emily and entourage for her birthday. the few nights with steve […]

foundations
asa got rach and i tickets to horizion at nytw last night and, aside of getting bumped from row g to row a, it was an evening that sorta made me fall back in love with seeing theatre (not that i’d fallen out with theatre, but i sometimes find it hard to enjoy a performance […]
