The co-winner of the 2010 Colby Award for Achievement in Television. Yes. Yes. I have spent four years saying, “Why would I want to watch people on TV do my job worse than I do it?” But, then a funny thing happened and I watched all four seasons in a week and a half. Fifty-two episodes in ten days. The moment you first see Don Draper, you know this is the story of his redemption. (And if you’ve talked to me for more than an hour, you know “Redemption” is my favorite word, concept and story device.) Season four of Mad Men started out with a bunch of shots to the gut. I seriously can’t imagine having to wait a week to see how the next kick in the head was going to turn out. SO glad to have watched the season in about two days. And then, really out of nowhere, BOOM! Don’s redemption. Will it stick? Can’t wait to find out.

I contended that her preferred method (bumping into them with extreme prejudice) had much different context coming from a 5 foot 3 size small than it does coming from 6 foot 5, 210 pounds of me. Though, I am not averse to dropping a shoulder on a local, like I did last week, (he was either going to plow into me or I could brace myself. It was the best hit I have laid on someone since IM flag football. Seriously, I laid the jackass out. Which is what should happen when you are flat out sprinting like Carl Lewis in a crowded subway station.) I don't really have a half-speed when it comes to initiating contact like that. (clearly)<br /><br />This morning, Radley pooped on the sidewalk, instead of having to go all the way to the park.<br /><br />This afternoon, a co-worker told me to slow down. I was talking too fast.<br /><br />For the past 5 weeks, as a coping mechanism, I think, I was viewing this as if it was summer camp. It's not.

But, I fucking miss PF fucking Changs.<br /><br />And I didn't know I did (or could) until I was on the phone with Kristal earlier tonight. There had been a little mix-up in the grocery shopping tonight. Between me, shallots and scallions.<br /><br />Now, let me back this up. I'll just do it this way. About 3 this afternoon, I was e-mailed the following shopping list:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Fresh parsley</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Fresh Thyme</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">1 Shallot (type of onion)</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">large cucumber</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">grape tomatoes</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">small red onion</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">2 avocados</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">fresh cilantro</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">1 jalapeno pepper</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">2 limes</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">french baguette</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">soft goat cheese</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">chipotle chili powder</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">cooking spray</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">4 boneless skinless chicken breasts</span><br /><br />Now, there's a good chance that if you're reading this, you're a Texan that has never lived in New York before. That means, there's a good chance you've never been grocery shopping in New York. Which means you can't fathom that the above list required me to hit THREE different stores FOUR different times. Total.<br /><br />I found jalapenos at one store. One. Baguettes? Well, I was upstairs, perusing the immense kitchenwares section (read: lowering my urge to kill) when I hear them announce baguettes are now on sale for 75 cents. I sprint downstairs to find empty baskets.<br /><br />Tonight? While grocery shopping? I threw a pitchfork. I killed a guy.<br /><br />So, shallots. Tonight, at grocery store number two (which, btw, is my favorite, solely because they stock Sweet Leaf Tea), I grabbed what was labelled as "shallots." Turns out, they were scallions. Now, having never used, needed or eaten either ... well, I was at a severe disadvantage.<br /><br />Which of course means, I got a horticultural lesson in my apartment and re-dispatched to grocery store number one. Who should get off its ass and stock Sweet Leaf. The fuckers.<br /><br />ANYWAY, I'm talking to Kristal, asking her to help me identify shallots. And she says, scallions are the things in PF Chang's beef broccoli.<br /><br />I've never wanted anything more in my life.<br /><br />I drooled on the 3 year old who was setting the bear trap at my feet and smiled at the lady aiming the RPG at my cart. Hey. I told you grocery shopping in New York was rough.Colbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15467290433637086874noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4261767375008521490.post-455431628676648252008-07-28T08:21:00.002-05:002008-07-28T08:40:37.809-05:00I heart the subwayWhen I first moved here (read: A period of time that started when I put the moving truck in park and ended about a day ago) I thought of the subway system as <a href="http://notfortourists.com/radars/13539.jpg">this city's shiv</a>. Everything seems normal. Nothing going on. WHAM! Hidden blade in your gut. Hand covered in blood. Face torqued in agony. <a href="http://media.canada.com/1c80e43f-6eb3-4724-8464-0291601cdf8f/big%20rich071107.jpg">WHY!?! OH, WHY ME!??<br /></a><br />Then, I started wrapping my mind around it (read: I started looking at maps and - much more importantly - listening to a certain someone.) Now, I kind of dig the subway. Sure, nothing I can think of is more miserable than realizing you've been sweating on your walk when you are greeted with an inferno of still, warm, thick, immobile air 60 feet below the surface of God's earth. Is it too late for that protective sheath of deodorant? I've even started liking the little rats. I root for them in their battle against the football sized ones. I know they're doomed.<a href="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/boomertap30/English33.jpg"> Like Colt McCoy.</a> But that's what makes sports fun.<br /><br />But, my favorite thing about the subway? Never in my life have I been so sure I'm on a hidden camera show. Also? I realize representative democracy works. I never have to wonder why we have so many freaks in Congress. We, <a href="http://llnw.image.cbslocal.com/0/2007/02/23/320x240/images_sizedimage_054082316.jpg">the voting public</a>, are just doing our jobs.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;" class="sqq">“In your country club, your church and business, about 15 percent of the people are screwballs, lightweights and boobs and you would not want those people unrepresented in Congress." -- Former Wyoming Sen. Alan K. Simpson, who - CLEARLY - never rode the subway enough, based on those numbers.</span>Colbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15467290433637086874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4261767375008521490.post-43977759490494936932008-07-26T17:49:00.001-05:002008-07-28T08:42:15.612-05:00Greetings from Brooklyn<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRt8_-7MFHWochS6gS5hbN9IAKi51oF13-PyZvgJ98Jw0-dBbo-7Jexl29Pu4CsCDf5JlPTT9pzEzjkM7GrE416XnlNCUCtu6l6PHuC1MYCNs3yFK-EhNrwq_SkQMei_-8J3VpiZokAj4/s1600-h/=%3FWindows-1252%3FB%3FSU1HMDAyNjkuanBn%3F=-752468"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRt8_-7MFHWochS6gS5hbN9IAKi51oF13-PyZvgJ98Jw0-dBbo-7Jexl29Pu4CsCDf5JlPTT9pzEzjkM7GrE416XnlNCUCtu6l6PHuC1MYCNs3yFK-EhNrwq_SkQMei_-8J3VpiZokAj4/s320/=%3FWindows-1252%3FB%3FSU1HMDAyNjkuanBn%3F=-752468" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227459036178882770" border="0" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo">OK, you can't tell it, but, yes, that is a limo with swing up doors.
