Family+Fekkai

As you may or may not know, the Townsend family paid me a visit last weekend. 

(Incidentally, we were staying at the same hotel as Obama.)

Among the highlights: 
-Little Mermaid
-21 Club 
-Pancakes (Clinton Street Bakery blueberry pancakes, naturally.)

I know what you're thinking while looking at this picture.

It's the painfully obvious, undeniable truth.

"Ew. Look at those roots." This had to be addressed. And there is only one man able to remedy such treason of the tresses. 

My mane man, Frederic Fekkai.

Back to Blogspot

Seductive as the whole fame thing is, I have come to the realization that such things are ultimately fleeting and leave a person longing for something more.
That something is blogging.

So, may this post re-commence my dedication to blogspot.

I've realized something about myself over the past few weeks. 
I really like food...(breakfast foods in particular)...Not so much the eating of it per se, but the sport/notion of it. Allow me to explain.

In my spare time at work, I have been google-ing things like "peanut butter banana french toast" and "lemon souffle pancakes." And I stare at the pictures in this weird, pornographic fashion. As soon as someone walks by, I impulsively minimize the screen of a big, greasy bacon and egg waffle sandwich to my Excel spreadsheet.

I also thoroughly enjoy trawling blogs dedicated to cupcakes. (Like this one)

I am dragging my unsuspecting family to Clinton Street Bakery this weekend. For this reason: 



I fear that this once casual pastime may be quickly morphing into an unhealthy obsession.

In other news...

I saw the BEST solicitation executed by a homeless guy in Columbus Circle the other day. This was no contrived, obvious attempt with tired lines like "God Bless" or "Need money to feed my babies/crack habit." Instead, his sign read "NEED MONEY FOR ALCOHOL so women can get me drunk and take me home." I was obviously convicted to fund such an endeavor.


Embarrassing anecdote of the day: 
While at work, I decided to Pandora on my iPhone. Innocent enough...until it became apparent that my headphones were not adequately inserted. Of course the last station I had been listening to was Lady Gaga, and "Maneater" thus polluted the airwaves of Oxford University Press on full blast for a painful 6 seconds.
