She Doesn't Get Eaten By Eels At This Time

Ok. I'll admit it. I've been bitten by the royal-wedding-fever bug...bitten real, real bad. But come on! This is so mega may-jah! Is it not every single girl's dream come true? He's a Prince! Guess what she's going to be? That's right - a PRINCESS!
Well, Kate - well done. Your hair looked great, that dress really complimented the navy rock on your finger (which, I would appreciate you not wave around in our faces anymore, please. It just reminds us that our Princesstrial chances are up - and at best one of us will have to end up with "The Spare"), and you and HRH seem to genuinely enjoy one another...and have lots of "giggles".
Come "Spring or Summer of 2011", I will be gleefully watching from across the pond as you officially enter the world of high tea with the Queen, big funny hats, hemophelia, bloodsports, tiaras, pretty-princessy dresses and laughably-large Palaces...
If you see Buttercup, Mia, Cindy, Ann, Giselle, or Lea, send my regards.
Oh, and Kate, always remember: Never get involved in a land war with Asia.

My, How You've Grown

Apparently, I'm not the only one who's been busy! Get-a-load-a-this, folks!

A Jew Walks Into A Bar...

Sadly, I'm just running out to dinner, so have no time to comment on this GEM of a find.

Génial.

V for...?

A couple of months ago I noticed a big, bold letter V on the sidewalk that I was cruising down. I paused for a moment and wondered what it meant, but was quickly distracted by some stranger's boots as she passed by me (thank you undiagnosed ADD), and so off I went, leaving the V behind me.
But then a few weeks later, again, a V stamped right there in front of my feet! Hmmm...am I on the same block? Is this the same V?, I thought to myself.
Well, no, it wasn't the same block and it wasn't the same V and by now I've seen them all over the place. From Spring street all the way up to 125th and Morningside. There are letter V's sprinkled all over this fair city of ours and no one seems to have even the slightest clue as to what they are doing here.
This lack of intelligence begs a few questions, such as...
Are Big Bird, Elmo and the rest of the Sesame Street gang behind this elaborate alphabet refresher course?
Could the aliens be marking our streets like they did the PeruVian mountains with their nifty little Nazca Lines?
Is Natalie Portman's shaVed head about to jump out from a dark alley way and start a reVolution in her poorly executed english accent?
Well everyone, put your fears aside...I'm on the case! I'll get to the bottom of this one using my good looks, charm, wiley wit, and maybe a few tips from you - my beloved readers.
If you see a V, come talk to me.

Germination!

Despite all the odds against them (ie. the bi-polar "spring" weather we've had for the past few weeks), my little seedlings are showing signs of life!
Three cheers for urban, fire-escape, organic, can't-get-more-local local farming!
