Spider Man Turn Off the Lights

While playing tourist in ny this weekend, we traipsed through times square. Passed by the Spider Man marquee. No sign of Bono or the Edge. Show is supposedly set to open in March.

Was pestered repeatedly for tickets to various tapings (including comedy central). I was a bit annoyed until I realize that the backpack I was carrying signaled Tourist pretty loud and clear. One guy handed me his flier and asked where I was coming from. "Upper east side. 89th and 3rd. Beta north," I replied, using my old (very old--I lived in NY almost ten years ago) address. He flashed me a bewildered look as I stomped past him.

Laughs

Met up with the cousins for brunch in tribeca saturday morning before heading back to DC. I got to spend time with nephew, hunter, who is an absolute joy. He's running around, eating everything, and gabbing up a storm.

no quatto

I got a clean bill of the health. the lump, aka, cyst, is gone, the pathology report came back fine. a lot of infection (staph a), but nothing malignant.

the surgeon originally thought it might have been something that didn't develop from birth, like a tooth that had note descended, which led to a lot of 'unborn twin' jokes, which led to a lot of total recall-quaotto-as-my-mutant-twin jokes.

no quatto, sadly.

the chief had even prepared a birth announcement for quatto.

nice pic courtesy chanc on flickr, inspired by one of the final scenes in total recall.

see yoo at duh pahhtee, rictah.

You Know, like the Millenium Falcon

In a conference call with the president of a company, I asked him if he could describe to me what changes he would like to make to his company’s website. He said “I just want it to look more Millennium Falcon, but not with any reference to Star Wars.” Trying to give more information about what he meant, he said “You know, like the Millennium Falcon, but not THE Millennium Falcon.”
