Happy Birthday, Maxine!

Wishing my little puggle a very happy 4th birthday today. This dog has been through it all with me, from the East Village to Williamsburg to the beach house to our new home in the woods. I like to think of Max as being my all-natural anti-depression, anti-anxiety drug. She rules. Happy Birthday, pooch!

Thanks to Rania for sending me this clip in an email today. It makes me happy to see that Carrie Brownstein is up to something again, and (of course) this shit makes me laugh, hard.




Everything in this video could also be applied to Antioch, the beautiful, wonderful, mysterious college where Rania and I met. It's so funny because it's so true...

What's on the stereo today?

Yesterday I drove to Boston by myself. To kill the boredom, I dug out some old CDs to listen to on the drive. One in particular stood out to me: The Poppy Family. Back in the day, I used to work for MTV Networks, and one of the sound engineers that I frequently worked with made a CD of some Poppy Family songs for me. He said he imagined that this was the kind of music I listened to. I had no idea how he knew. Do I look like I listen to creepy '70's music? Maybe so...
