Let's start February with some musings
Ok everyone in blogland is saying that there blogs are full of musings. I did not get a perfect score on the verbal SAT and I sure is no grammar expert, but i think it's a lame stab at the word. If you look below a muse is either engaged in meditation or thougtfull sayings. I read a lot of blogs and rarely when you need to update everyday are you going to be deep in meditation or very thoughtful. Oh well - i've learned the meaning of the most overused word since the invention of blogs.
v. mused, mus·ing, mus·es
v. intr.
To be absorbed in one's thoughts; engage in meditation.
v. tr.
To consider or say thoughtfully: mused that it might take longer to drive than walk.
n.
A state of meditation.
The building on your left is my absolute dream NYC apartment, designed by Richard Meier. It's in the west village, open floor plan, nicole kiddman lives there and overlooks the hudson. I would do just about anything to one day be able to live here, but realize it's a pipe dream. What happens when your desire for a great bargain for NYC real estate becomes an obsession, read this awesome article from this months New York Magazine.
- I got a SPAM email today. I get a lot of these because someone signed me up for a mailing list for free movie tickets! Now each and every day I get tons of spam that can not be picked up by our spam removal program. I got a spam telling me to buy a tsunami bracelet to support the victims. In reading further, this is a complete scam and they are not a valid charity - they even try to give you a free dvd of the catastrophie for your home movie collection - sickos!. How could anyone in their right mind, do something like this? I guess the only thing suprising is that the email is from socially adequate canada.
- I love the NY POST. I especially love how it is a right winged paper in the craziest left wing city in the world. Even with this liberal nyc'ers pick this up as religiously as the right wing states go to bible school. During the election Bush was on the cover everyday with a go bush slogan. kerry supporters were buying it up just so they could see if king of all boneheads ben affleck was spotted in manhattan. I was suprised that they broke the front page article yesterday on Pataki hiring a maid on our dollar. Why am i not suprised? because they already know Pataki is completely done as governor and really have no chance at the governor election so they might as well bash him to say they are "fair and balanced".
- Hillary Clinton passed out during a speech yesterday and i had 2 questions - 1 is did you get that on film. That is usually hilarious, like the guy on the bachelorette a few weeks ago. and 2 was did she pass out after eating too many wings at the best place on earth for wings in buffalo, the anchor bar

Wow. Thanks for the link to Jersey Fresh. I pass by the Bison Farm sometimes and wonder what those animals look like. The farms here are large and sprawling. It's too bad the winter has most spots closed. It's still fun to explore the countryside. For some really good sweet corn, go to the Ramsey Market in Ramsey, NJ.
