Wed

Nice mild weather out, hopefully Spring is here. Have a meeting in Norwalk tomorrow morning.

Exchanged a few emails with Judit, sounds like they are probably going to be here next weekend. Her brother is going back to Hungary soon, so they want to spend one last weekend in NYC. Should be fun . Jen may join us as well.

Doing a few errands around the apartment. Need to eat something too. I may go out later on, Aixa said to stop by, but I don't know that I will in the mood to go back to the meatpacking. I may stay in midtown. We'll see anyway.

Dinner & stuff

Had dinner with Chip and Fran at this charming little restaurant in the Greenwich Village called the Elephant & Castle. If you click on their link you can read about the name history, pretty interesting. The NY version has been around for 20+ years. Great food. Their grilled calamari were awesome.

On the way back I got derailed several times. I had to go into Strand Bookstore, on Broadway and 12th, one of the largest bookstores in the world. So may books, on every possible subject. I could spend hours browsing around their used, rare and out of print books sections. I also went into the Virgin Megastore on Union Square for a while.

Took the Lex Av. 6 subway back home.

Tue

Charles forwarded this funny email today, check it out. My favorites are "Ignoranus", "Bozone", and "Foreploy"

Subject: Mensa Invitational

The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.

Here are this year's {2005} winners:

3. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

4. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

6. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.

7. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

8. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

9. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

10. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

11. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)

12. Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.

13. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.

14. Glibido: All talk and no action.

15. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
