December 2008
Heading out to meet @whiskey_hook in Chelsea for drinks.
With “the crew” at Grape and Grain in Alphabet City NYC drinking Malbec.
With @whiskey_hook and @thesurrealmccoy talking about ‘my belt’ and ‘yacht rock’ in the East Village.
Yacht Rock - smoove 70s bearded daiquiri diet rock (eg, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, + Steely Dan)
So @whiskey_hook just taught me a new phrase, “yacht rock” - love it
HOW TO: Simplify (http://ping.fm/VssGi) (RT @mashable)
For those not familiar, Chelsea is the gay neighborhood of NYC. Thus, I am dressed just gay enough without overtly swinging the wrong bat.
Waiting on @whisley_hook at this place called Craftsteak, which has atrocious service. And I am wearing my brightest orange scarf, too!
Having a jalepeno margarita, which almost makes up for being treated like crap.
I think we’re going to the great Zum Schneider now.
Okay, my new new fav phrase, “Frisky Dingo”
Whew. Malbec, stella, volka, Irish people, fun
This is the next big thing - underwater vampires battling mermaids.
Rest!! Fun NYE in NYC planned with the gang tommorrow (today!)
In Oliver Peoples with Olga Katova from Paris. She’s buying aviators. Here for the holidays. How’s that for “Man on the Street”? :)
Purchase at Oliver Peoples complete, heading uptown via subway. I think. It’s really just a guessing game.
Accidentally braving Times Square - help!! :)
I don’t actually need saving! LOL - I used to live here!! I just push slow tourists out of the way, ya know?!
Waiting in the lobby of the Fox/News Corp building to pick up a post-show @savvyauntie. Hope she’s hungry! I’m starving…
Whoah @tastidlite is on Twitter. (Reminds @cheeky_geeky of breaktime at NYU) (RT @Sharonfeder)
Just finished a great lunch at Bobby Van’s with @SavvyAuntie and now I’m heading back downtown. She’s so great to meet!! :)
Heading to meet up with @brett in SoHo.
At “New Work City” (a coworking space) in SoHo, everyone is here but @brett, ha ha. Where’s me coffee, dude?
Wow. Bar Carrera tapas on McDougal and Houston!! Who wants to go with me?! :)
Back at the ranch catching up on things.
Innaugural fashion with @AskMissA and @K8Michael (http://tinyurl.com/76k9g6)
Just got off the phone with @whiskey_hook, who’s also in NYC. Looks like we’re hitting Chelsea and the West Village later tonight.
Holding court (nah just reading) at 71 Irving Place, a great cafe in Gramercy, next to the infamous (bc of @jeffpulver) Friend of a Farmer.
Every is being hard on the Russian prof. But as an east-coaster, I see this US breakup as my opportunity to finally become a Brit!
Sitting next to spunky, fit, petite single mom (comp screen pic, no ring) wearing a man’s Rolex. Tragedy? Tough chick? Fashion?
Watching @FoxNews before heading out to one of my favorite NYC cafes.
WSJ has article on Russian Professor predicting the end of the US (http://tinyurl.com/9es6jk) (RT @8of12)
ABC? Israel. NBC? Israel. CBS? Israel. CNBC? Oil.

Some girl who looks like @ericaamerica promoting “industry night” at Belmont Lounge.
Post meeting with @alanataylor and hotel check-in, moved to one of my old joints. Same as it ever was. Need food!
SAVE the DATE! In DC/MD/VA? Join us @ NPR’s hq downtown DC for DC Media Makers’ first 09 meetup 1/29th; details tba & Happy New Yr!
Just checked in but I have to wait for my room. Having a drink at the bar.
Sitting next to two women on a “staycation” (one of the few SATC terms I can actually get down with). Okay, what else shall I get down with?
Whoops. Just used the phrase “very grave” - uh, “Is there another kind?”. Total Mark faux pas.
New rule: Try not to date women who have “clients” - I think they often live vicariously through them. Falsely so.
Had a fun meetup with @alanataylor in Union Square!!
Hmm. Buy my writing at Barnes and Noble (http://is.gd/e27W). Or, get it free from the NDU website. Underhanded commerce fail.
Now arriving, New York Penn Station. Please gather all your belongings!!
