live

ive been having what you might call
some deep thinking of late
thinking about life
and what exactly is the point of life
there are things i like
and things i dont like about the jewish religion
but one thing i love
is that the talmud says after you die
you are judged by how fully you lived your life
not how many good deeds or bad ones
did you celebrate, cherish and live your life to its fullest?

this i love

i dont think someone who goes to work every day 60 hours a week
hating what they do
drags their ass home
eats in front of the tv
passes out
does it again
spends the weekend
cleaning the house
passes out
goes to work

is living their life
this is a living death


i know we are not all blessed to like or love what we do for a living
but if we dont
find something to throw into the mix
you hate your job then fill your past time with something you love

write
paint
make love
feed the homeless
go sailing
fly

fly
fly


dont be married to your cell phone

dont
marry your laptop either
smell the air
pet a dog
make a baby smile
make a hooker smile
make yourself smile
make somebody smile


thought for the day
go out and live a little

jan/feb blues

a college professor or mine used to say this time of year
that she had the jan/feb blues
something about the sun saying bye bye
and the cold and grey saying hello
the anti-climax of the post holidays
all conspires to give us a major case of the blahs
ive tried to bust the jan/feb blues
by well having an art opening
and today having an day of art and wine called "art in the afternoon"
taking advantage of the catering season lull to celebrate the art side of my brain
but still
the jan/feb blues do creep in

have you got any advice for busting the jan/feb blues?

i mean other then over-eating which kinda makes you feel worse in the end
over drinking which definately makes you feel worse in the end
or reading dark and depressing novels which is like throwing oneself in the fire dontya think

so far all ive got is
sunday night THE L WORD
to bust my funk

and of course
bubble baths

CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!

art high and low

well having an art opening in the lower east side of manhattan
is certainly a way to show the best and worst of humanity
the best
well the fabulous, eclectic, spicey, sexy, arty crowd that viewed the art, sipped wine
and made intelligent comments or better yet, wrote about the show
worst
thats easy
the fat drunken Russian woman with the bad bleach job who claimed to write some obscure newsletter and propped herself against a wall then hit anyone who bumped into her and yelled "watch it"
later on after we finally got her to leave i discovered she'd taken my gorgeous hand carved wooden bowls that id put out filled with roasted, salted peas...theyd somehow been devoured by her large bag much as she had devoured half the hors d'oeuvres
then there was the drunken loser who
took out a crayon and graffitied (i kid you not) the inside of my window
during the opening
how can anyone go to a high end champagne art opening
and then steal things or draw on the window?!

sigh

well the moral is
next time i not only have a bouncer at the door but i have one inside too

who knew art openings could bring in such creatures
i thought these kind of people stayed away from class

but i shall dwell on the good
the huge crowd
the great compliments
and the interested in buying paintings folks...
im just an arty ass little mama
what can i say

Things I hate about January in NYC

that weird road rash ( and no I don't mean from um shall we say action)
that appears between ones thighs....

the side-walk obstacle courses in front of empty lots
that are one long inch thick slab of ice, which can only be crossed with
two ice picks and a prayer..your other choice is to take your chances by walking out onto the street but given the odds between ice hell and a nyc taxi
i opt for ice hell

the people who go mental, i mean mental from the cold
last night some uppity bitch was walking down the street and nearly smashed into me, then she screamed MOVE
and i replied like any self respecting New Yorker would
"what the fuck is your problem fat ass?"

that movie theatres only have two temperatures in january
freezing or roasting depending on whether they turn their heat on or off

frozen pee pee
honey its just gross all those yellow mini ice ponds
yech
second only to of course frozen ka ka

the dull, miserable, fed up, worn out, shuffle of the frozen masses on their way to the subway, not to be confused with the dull, miserable, fed up, worn out, shuffle of the sweltering masses in the summer

that a walk through thompkins square park means a mild case of frostbite
and i feel like a huge ass wuss because the homeless people are taking it all in like a spring day

that i go to sleep at night listening to the bitter wind howling through my non
insulated windows like a banchee in heat
im just kinda assuming a banchee in heat sounds like that

that my lovely apartment has electric heat which sounded ok
but now i understand means my ^%$#^&** bill is 290 bucks!!

that the closest i get to anything tropical
is the papaya kind hot dog stand
which to this day i dont understand
becauce who the hell wants to drink papaya juice with a hot dog?
can someone explain this to me

achoooooooooooo

arty mama

well kids
had a huge whopping art opening last night
was a true blast
even got a write up in the new york times
yesindeeded
the show was one ive wanted to curate forever
master chefs who are also master artists
it included dennis foy, salvatore del deo, miha juric and course miss MOI
over a 150 arty types including a whole lot of press came to the opening
and drank ate and took in the art
it was really one of those grand new york nights
rare and wonderful
today
my entire body
feels like it went 10 founds with mike tyson
back before he went cannibal

anyway
its nice to feel like old hollywood
once in awhile
dont worry
my feet are still firmly planted on la ground

smooches

brokeback mama

have you seen Brokeback Mountain yet?
honey thats the first movie in a long time
that this girl has watched
and then just thought about for days
weeks afterwards
it really truly just showed the impossibility
of forbidden love
of two cowboys...just normal working stiffs
falling in love in the 60's
and staying in love for the rest of their lives
but un-able to do much about it
except meet a few times a year
at their mountain oasis

it was sad
maddening
and so i suspect true to life that it cut to the core
and all this so close to the land the took matthew shepard

the acting was suberb
by two dudes that im not normally the fan of

i cant helping thinking that in a time
where homophobia feels like its at an all time high

brokeback mountain may do what
the parades
could not

create compassion in middle america

oh heres hoping anyway

we all deserve the chance to love
and be loved

dont we?

new hope

hey kids
sorry for the delay in posting
i took the lovely and talented chef miha
my fave cooking boy
to new hope pennsylvania for a few days
so heres the scoop
the antique inn with roaring fire place
on lush acres
was a tacky folksy arts and crafts house
with gas fireplace
on a piece of land off the highway next to a high school

it rained most of the time we were there
we paid up to 200 bucks for dinners
that were less then fabulous
far less

half the town was closed for the holiday
half should have been

and
after three days of no hot water in manhattan
my room had no water pressure
im talking three drops of water man

so my hair looked like
a homeless persons

but on the bright side
miha and i had an adventure
drove all over
ate a lot
some of it not gross
saw walking tall which was fabulous

and basically got our butts out of manhattan for a bit

now
the bitch
is back

looking forward to spending
20 bucks for great food
here in nyc
yesindeedeee
