get out your best face and rise to meet…

today i had planned on telling you about new radiant storm king, then i realized that their website would prove to be more informative than whatever i had planned on writing.

things that rosemary sees on her way to work

On my way to work this morning I spotted a license plate that said “ZERO-IQ.” That’s funny in itself, but there was an FOP sticker next to it.

i should mention that this comes right when a judge finally throws the book at those two policemen in the drunk-driving cover-up scandal. i just want to use that phrase from one of those sam lipsyte stories in venus drive (open city books), “they brought it on themselves,” over and over again.

just like the news of angel ortiz and his teenage joyriding hijinks, im sure this one will disappear from the news shortly.

is it just me, or since timoney left / is leaving the PD, did everything take a total nosedive? regardless of this “no smoking on the job” policy he installed, everytime i drive down broad street i see a cop with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

if license plate numbers were telephone numbers you could actually call up [hello halfbakery!], you know whose mobile phone would be constantly busy.

sincerely, maria tessa sciarrino, city hall watchdog.

do it yourself

after a whirlwind week of attending music / technology conferences, meeting brilliant people and seeing a legendary rock band play for the first time in twenty years, i cant help but feel like forging my own path - or at least, letting these opportunities give me renewed strength for the things i currently do.

for those of you who see the potential in everything and anything, i give you ready made magazine. if that doesnt tempt you enough, perhaps the first issue free will.
