Thanks Ashley for reminding me how one painting could solve mine and a couple of my friends' troubles with some leftover for an around the world dance party.

I couldn't go but my good friend Clay who I met freshman year of high school went to our reunion back in Anchorage, Alaska. He made a trip out of it and did lots of Alaskan-y things. He posted the first recap with lots of pictures that...will confirm every stereotype you've had of this state that I used to once call home. From the first batch of photos, it looks like one heck of a trip and makes me miss Alaska for a little bit. Here are a couple samples with more on his blog.

This may seem slightly odd that I'm congratulating a couple on their recent engagement considering that I don't actually know them, but Brian Battjer and his personal blog was one of the early inspirations for my then inchoate blogging interest. His blog that he has frequently maintained since 1996 is a photo diary of his life and times in New York City and around the world. His adventures, always recapped with hysterical photos and videos never failed to amuse, inspire, and occasionally gross me out and his countless readers around the world. I highly recommend reading his entries from chronological order starting with the first one in 1996 which can be found at the bottom of the index page. Enjoy!

More than one-fourth of adult New Yorkers — 26 percent, compared to the national average of 19 percent — are infected with herpes simplex virus 2, the virus that causes genital herpes.
Other than that, picking a running mate is — no disrespect intended — like picking a pet. How much time are you planning to spend with the little fellow? How much exercise will he be getting on an average day? On one extreme, you have the William Wheeler model (“There’s the living room. Go find a corner and sleep in it.”) On the other end, there’s the Cheney version in which the pet takes over the checkbook, diversifies the family investment portfolio and starts strafing at the neighbor’s cat.

Walking to the subway tonight after hanging out with Lauren and N at his apartment, I had the following observation. There is a distinct odor of stale beer and alcohol that wafts through Soho at night, which is noticeable on a breezy evening such as today. I never quite picked up on this fact until tonight. I guess a rough night of drinking makes ones senses, all five of them, the next day more acutely sensitive towards the presence of alcohol. The heightened senses makes the walk at night through revelers and drunks an interesting experience where I feel a particular elevation to a level of hyper clarity and awareness of my surroundings.

I received an email today from Sundance telling me:
Plan now for the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. January 15-25, 2009 — Park City, Utah
I'm being asked to think about 2009 already and I don't like it. You hear me, Sundance? I. Don't. Like. It.
For those of you who have never been, I highly recommend it. For those of you who've been multiple times, I'm very jealous of you.
This is your drawing of the day from yours truly.

“Let’s talk about your rhymed verse,” Geisel had proposed. … “Your scansion is pretty good. But again, it’s too complicated. And your line lengths are all over the place. They won’t look good on the page. Try to even them up. Also, you’ve got a few interior rhymes. Let’s leave interior rhymes to Cole Porter and Ogden Nash. And I’ve counted at least 10 convenience rhymes,” by which he meant rhymes that added nothing to the narrative.
