Beeky Baby

As some of you might be aware, my cat Beeky died on August 19th, 2009. She was 18 years old, the oldest pet I have ever owned. She was with us her entire life, her mother was our cat as well and gave birth to her in our house, back in Spring of 1991. It’s interesting to look back and realize that you had a companion for such a long time that you saw just about every day. Not having her around is going to be a hell of an adjustment. Think of anything your life that lasted anywhere near 18 years. Friends, relationships, jobs, school…losing something that eclipses them all is overwhelmingly epic, as I have discovered. I don’t care to get too sappy, but I miss her a lot.

I threw up an album of all Beeky pictures, I think all of the Beeky pictures I have pretty much. I’ll add pictures if I find more or people contribute any that I don’t have.

R.I.P. Beeky baby.

Alex Uploaded this as a Test…

…and I think I’m just gonna keep it.

Music Stores

Just curious, does anyone remember music stores anymore? Before you got your CDs and such at Best Buy and various other big box stores, remember where you used to buy music, or did you at all? Here’s a list of all the places I can recall off the top of my head, which have all pretty much vanished now:

Virgin Megastore
Tower Records
Coconuts
Sam Goody
HMV
Saturday Matinee
Suncoast
The Wall

I still see FYEs, but they’re fading, so it seems. Can anyone else think of any stores I’m forgetting? I’m excluding mom & pop shops obviously. Other departed big box stores like the Wiz had music as well, but I’m talking stores that were music driven, with maybe some movies and a few headphones on the wall. It just dawned on me the other day that they’re ALL GONE!

List of Pizza Places in Queue

I have got quite a few suggestions for the next Pizza Adventure, I would appreciate a few more. I wouldn’t mind a decent amount in each borough. Here’s what I have at the moment:

Brooklyn:
L&B Spumoni Gardens
Totonno Pizzeria Napolitano

Manhattan:
Patsy’s
Ben’s
Luzzo’s
Sal and Carmine’s

Queens:
New Park
Danny’s

Some more of the Bronx and and Staten Island would be a good start. I urge all of you to comment with suggestions or contact me somehow. Thanks!

Sorry for the Lack of Updates

I was in Florida for a little while. I added a bunch of new pictures though. New stuff to come soon, plus a bio update is in the work.

Minor Change – Picture Update

I’m migrating my picture page from jalbum to Wordpress. Until I finish it will probably be in complete and out of order. I feel like having the pictures in one place just makes more sense than using two different management systems. Commenting, saving, and navigating is a breeze now. It will be finished soon, enjoy.

Chocolate Bread

After some recreational use of a controlled substance which shall go unnamed, I embarked on trip to the kitchen for an attack of the munchies. When I arrived there, I decided it would be wise to make cookies. Based on a recipe for black and white cookies that I have not actually memorized, I altered the recipe in order to to make chocolate cookies of some sort. I mixed up ingredients and went at it. I also decided to throw some icing on top and made some as well. The icing came out correctly. The cookies, however, I do not think I have earned the right to call these cookies. I refrain from using the word “amaze” in my everyday vocabulary. To me, being amazed is a pretty high level of achievement. Amazing is a massive dose of either something going well, poorly, or wildly different. What I’m trying to get at is, I have amazed even myself this time. The product that came out of the oven can only be described as “Chocolate Bread.” Is anyone else truly amazed along with me?

As you can see…undaunted, I proceeded as planned and applied the icing. Chocolate bread with chocolate icing, I am the sum of a pioneer and an idiot.
