Un-titled

Two months later, we’ve finally heard back from our title company.  The news ain’t good.  I guess it isn’t horrible, either.  First, let me back track and catch you up.

Many years ago in a magical land called Washington Heights, our hero (I won’t use the feminine version in case Thom reads this – you know his [...]

Showers

It’s been a long, and fun-filled past several days, so I somehow lost track of just how long it had been since I showered.  After Rocco leaned in, sniffed me, then said, “Yup, that’s you,” I thought perhaps I’d use a little soap today before hitting Wrigley Field.

We’re staying with my Aunt Sharon and Uncle John while we’re hanging [...]

Car Talk

Rocco: Last time I went to your family reunion I was on good behavior. Am I allowed to just be myself this trip?

Me: Writing “Elly’s Bitch” on your nametag is good behavior?

Rocco: Your Dad said it was ok.

Me: I’m not sure you should look to Dad as your mentor in such social circumstances.

Thom: I’m going to [...]

Projects 90

I recently visited the MoMA on one of their free Friday thingamawhatsits.  I’m all about supporting the arts in theory.  I just don’t seem to put my money where my mouth is.  It’s a recession, people.  The concrete ‘shroom biz isn’t exactly booming.

Focus, Elly.  Try again.

So I was recently at the MoMA and was [...]

Marketing

Danielle: That new line of McDonald’s ads make me absolutely crazy.

Me: What ads?

Danielle: You know those ones with the McCafé coffee where everything is so much better with that silly é on the end of it. They just make me angry!

Me: Oh THOSE ads! Yup. [...]

Feet

New weird post chemo body alert!  Well, I don’t know if it’s actually chemo related or more an indicator that I need to eat more bananas.  Regardless, I’ve been having this crazy cramping in my hands and feet.  It’s really cutting into my productivity.  How is a girl to paint concrete ‘shrooms when I can’t undo [...]

Happy Birthday

Really?  I don’t know why Jersey (and Hoboken in particular) get such a bad wrap for being corrupt and mobbed up.  I mean, it’s just crazy talk!

I’m sure you can find at least another 20 towns who’ve had their mayors arrested…on their birthday…after only a month in office.  All the cool kids are doing [...]

Siblings

After Tripe left to return to Frankfurt, Thom and I agreed to not speak or see each other for at least a week.  We’re pretty close as far as siblings go, but we both agreed it would be best to spend some time apart after the copious volumes of quality bonding time we had during Tripe’s [...]

The Bible

Fish gotta swim.  Birds gotta fly.  Elly’s gotta read the Bible.

I don’t know what possessed me to try and stop.  That’s like trying to convince a rainbow to stop being a rainbow for a second – Mango to stop being Mango.  Such is Elly.  I was wrong, so wrong, to even try.

I did go [...]
