Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!


E. 17th St., all aglow

You may remember my friend Tom. He's written a few books. The building that he lives in, 126 Rivington, and its inhabitants are profiled in today's New York Times Sunday Styles section. Apparently it's like a Lower East Side Melrose Place. Who knew?

A friend of mine from Columbia, Liel Leibovitz, has written a book called Aliya: Three Generations of American-Jewish Immigration to Israel. Check it out.

...and Kevin Keck's reading is tomorrow down on Prince Street and Mulberry. Be there or be square. Drinks to follow.

Pookie was never really into it (he was too fat to jump up to the toilet, let alone the vanity) but apparently loafing in sinks is huge with the feline set.

Last night Doug and I had a Date Night and we went over to Chelsea to see Brokeback Mountain. I think it's a shoo-in for the Cinematography Oscar. However, a theater in Utah decided at the last minute not to screen the film, re-negging on their licensing agreement. Curious, indeed...

Yes, I'm working again today. This is seven days in a row, with five more ahead of me. Maybe that's why this blog has been just a smattering of links lately...I'm not doing much in the way of recreation. But that will change...soon! There are many social plans this weekend (Read: Photo ops!) and a possible Valentine's getaway to an undisclosed location. Stay tuned.
