I thought it was illegal to set off fireworks in NY. I just walked by a cluster of cops watching people set off a large amount of fireworks on the street corner.
Maybe there is some mutual understanding or unspoken deal going on? Don’t try anything stupid and we won’t ticket you?
My mom and I staring in amazement at the Macy’s fireworks in NYC.
I know some tumblrs around here haven’t disappeared to some beach this weekend. Jay is cooking himself like a bacon today, but he’ll return tomorrow, and he recommended that we do something. So, let’s do something!
I have no time-table for getting out or whatever, but we do have some options:
Fat Cat - THE RETURN. We do American things like ping pong, pool, and board games, while drinking.
Bar on 9th ave and 48th street - Jay or Lauren can clarify (I forgot the name), but there’s this bar out there that serves free hot dogs. That’s American too. Cheap beer as well, but I could see this place being packed.
Other ideas?
I’m down for meeting up for a bit. I think we’re at that point in our relationship where you all should really meet my parents. (Someone needs to talk my mom into getting a tumblr.) Whatever is decided, we may stop by for a drink or two depending on what time of the evening it is. The Cardinals/Cubs game is at 3:15pm and we’ll probably be at Dewey’s for that.

The more interesting thing about this post is the order in which Noah chose to list them. I can’t figure it out. I’m obsessive over patterns and will continue to stare at this until it makes sense.
Happy Birthday, Noah.
My parents made it safely into Harlem yesterday and so far they’re comfortable with the neighborhood. I made lasagna from scratch for dinner and it came out better than ever.
We’re going to hit the town today possibly going to the Museum of Natural History and then maybe heading out to Astoria for the Beer Garden. We may try to see the fireworks, but we aren’t much for fighting crowds.
Everyone enjoy your festivities, but stay safe!
Anyone have a nice rooftop view of the fireworks this weekend?
Um, and would like to invite my parents and I over? We’ll definitely bring beer.
Judge Orders YouTube to Give All User Histories to Viacom | Threat Level from Wired.com
Copyright and privacy issues aside, this is a human interest story. Namely, how would you like to be the youngest legal aide in Viacom’s law firm and have to spend the next, who-knows-how-long pouring over logs of every video watched by YouTube users?
There’s your torture story right there.
(via myminutiae)My first thought in reading this article was “I would totally love that job.”
A friend of mine got married while I was away in Italy. Of course, me being the self-absorbed person, I completely forgot. (Actually thought it was the end of July, not the end of June.)
This wouldn’t be that big of a deal, except that I’ve had a few IM conversations with him this week and I haven’t mentioned it at all, but was sure to go on and on about my trip to Italy.
Ryan, congratulations on marrying the love of your life. I’ve told you this before, but the love you have for your wife has helped restore my faith in the fact that Love does still in exist in all of the right ways.
Toni, congratulations to you as well. I obviously don’t have to tell you this, but you’re getting a pretty decent guy. I don’t know if we’ll ever meet, but from the stories I’ve been told (and the many pictures I’ve seen) you have such a loving soul and I know he saw this in you from day one. I’ve had a few guy friends get married and none of them have ever told such a beautiful story as Ryan tells about you.
Good luck to both of you and may your amazing love for each other last many years to come.
Cheers!
Neither of them are on Tumblr, but Ryan usually keeps up with what goes on around here. Feel free to reblog and join me in congratulating them.
Okay let’s lay out some ground rules here.
Not all of us are going to be seeing this movie on Thursday night (the 17th), so can we please make a deal and those of you who are seeing it that night will agree to not post ANYTHING about the movie. No quotes, no “oh my god it was so amazing when…”, no “I can’t believe…”.
I’m not even talking about spoilers. It’s already getting to the point where I have to glance away from the movie posters and trailers that are on my dashboard.
Deal? Handshake?
Oh hell, forget it. This will never work. I’ll just stay away from Tumblr for 24 hours.
Before leaving work today I was pre-invited to my first adult dinner party. With grown ups and couples and husbands and wives.
I like it.
