Tara is in San Francisco for a couple days to beat up pinkos and hippies so it’s time for another rundown of my boring day on my own.
- Woke up at 4:00pm. Cough. Yes, 4pm. In my defense I was farting around with the blog design around 9pm the night before then at around 5am I decided to stay up and see Tara off in the morning. I zonked out watching a horrible History Channel show about UFOs. Yes, History Channel.
- Read puzzling emails from various people that basically asked how glad I was that I didn’t work at a place I used to work at. Then I figured out what the hell they were talking about. Then I laughed. Then I put that whole thing back into the Pit of Forgetting.
- Wandered out to grab a chai from Hampton Chutney Co., home of kid enbonkenings. Mmmm, I wish I had another chai right now.
- Aimlessly walked around the Upper West Side watching all the people who emerged from their apartments after winter (such as in was this year in the city). Personal tip for the angry woman at 79th and Amsterdam — maybe you should reconsider shouting “I didn’t sleep with him!” in your cellphone in public.
- Got home and realized I didn’t do the one thing I was supposed to do today — transfer money between accounts at the bank. So I went back out and did that. Why are American banks so far behind Canadian banks in terms of customer convenience? In Canada, an ATM deposit doesn’t involve a pen. In America I have to fill out my account and deposit info on both a deposit slip and the deposit envelope. WTF America.
- Got back home and re-watched Frisky Dingo. Are you watching Frisky Dingo? If not you really really should be (all episodes are on iTunes). And if you do and you don’t like it I’m not sure we can be friends anymore. Welcome To You’re “Doom!”

In reference to that old place you used to work, have you and Tara and Sars thought about putting together a new site that would go back to the basics, back to when it was about the shows and not the site?
I assume you are speaking of our celebrated website “Showtunes Hip Hip Hooray?” We thought about it long and hard and decided to would be cheaper, easier and less involved to actually build a time machine and tackle the issue that way. That said, we’re not spending any of our own money on a time machine. Time machines are for VC firms to fund.
Ah, my favorite kind of UWS day. I think customer service in the US is far inferior in general to Canadian customer service, especially in New York City…and I love NY. I think there is a general feeling that the person waiting on you is never going to see you again, so why should they bother.
And I would pay cash-money to see the showtunes site.
Ah, Showtunes Hip Hip Hooray…how I miss the days when it didn’t look like a focus group of fourteen year olds and soccer moms had shat all over it.
In other news: mmmm, chai. I wish the ones at Starbucks (and other such mainstream chai-dealers) weren’t so sickly sweet.
