October

Yes! a monthly blog! If you want daily NYC happenings, go to newyorkology.com

I'm in the Bahamas. We were supposed to go to Senior Frogs, but Kaet is tired, so she's watching a Wesley Snipes movie. I do not appreciate this. lASt night we skipped out on Atlantis at 12. The night before we stayed in and watch movies. I think I may ditch her.

Anyway, in New York. I finally made it the monthly disco get-down at the Rose Center at the AMNH, and confirm that it is an excellent dance party, and an awesome venue, but don't go until about 10:30. I can't say I care about DJs spinning and beatboxing. I'd like preproduced songs. I'd like some songs that I know. It was my experience as a DJ that people prefer songs they know, it's easier to dance to when you know what's coming.

I am very excited to see Dr. Atomic in a couple weeks with my brand new fiancé. Yes!! An opera about the Manhattan project. I cannot begin to imagine what that must be like, despite having heard a half dozen reviews. My roommate is going to a different opera every day this week, nosebleed seats, I'll ask her to report back.

We say They Might Be Giants at Poisson Rouge, which is a FABULOUS new music venue down by NYU. Great show. Super fun. A transcendental experience for those of us who were way into TMBG in junior high (which was all of us) They're doing another, I think Nov 29th?

WE, in our ongoing experiment in trying every sushi place in manhattan (impossible) would like to recommend Amber on 71st and columbus. Food is good, wine list is good, decor is very cool. Open late enough that we don't have to go to Sushi a go go (which we like, we really do, especially for take out picnics) or the occassionally weird or good and surprisingly cheap places in the 50s. There's another amber on the upper east.

I went to Wavehill, a big private garden park in the white part of the bronx (that would be riverdale, end of the 1 line, you have to take a bus.) And it has to be the nicest park like thing in NYC (except woodlawn maybe. Depends what you want.) It was not that big, so it was only sort of like being in the woods, but teh greenhouses were fabulous. rust me, I used to work in a greehouse. Aand I'm a biologis. On teh otehr hand, if you are not a biologists who worked in a greenhouse, perhaps you wouldn't appreciate it so much. Nah... it's very cool.

Yes, that's right. I used to be a DJ, and I used to work in a greenhouse. For I while I smuggled orchids. I waited tables also, and I'm a kickass stunt skater, and I studied forensics and handled a lot of dead bodies. Also, people tend to think I'm a liar. And I don't like to be photographed.

It is not actually true that I smuggled orchids. But I'm working on it.

The Moth Ball is coming up Nov 19. hosted by John Turturro, who I really like and featuring Salman Rushdie, who has so far never pinched my ass, and Garrison Keller, who has probably never pinched anyone's ass.

And now, being as I'm IN THE CARIBBEAN I'm going to go watch SNL sketches about the election.
I'm kinda going to miss Sarah Palin when she's gone.
