Every year, November 21 is World Hello Day. The objective is to say hello to ten people on the day. By greeting others, the message is for world leaders to use communication rather than force to settle conflicts. So … Hello! The event began in 1973 by Brian and Michael McCormack in response to the conflict between Egypt and Israel. Since then World Hello Day … Continue reading HAPPY HELLO

This is why I love America. A country that celebrates pizza is a good thing. For a previous post on pizza (yes there was another pizza post), read this. Happy Pizza! Continue reading Pizza with the Works Day
SpaceBook is my pet name for the collective breed of social networking sites. Sort of a MySpace marries Facebook and it’s all the same thing, different color. As a genre, SpaceBook is taking a deep stab at the integrity of our human social interactions, redefining the way we communicate and consequentially forcing us to create and abide by new standards in social etiquette. We interact … Continue reading SpaceBook

A Grouch’s mission in life is to be as miserable and grouchy as possible, and pass that feeling on to everyone else. Only then will a Grouch feel in touch with his or her world and be happy. Yet, even though a Grouch may show happiness at anyone’s misfortune (including his or her own), a Grouch would never admit to being happy. Such is the … Continue reading It’s National Grouch Day

What the country needs is more AMAZING RACE! Yesterday the new season kicked off in Los Angeles and the first stop was Salvador, Brasil. Upon arrival they were instructed to go to O Rei Do Pernil, where they had a “Barista Challenge” waiting for them. The challenge had the couples wheeling an unwieldy local vending cart overflowing with boxes of candy and such through the … Continue reading Amazing Race: and They’re Off …
I went for an early autumn walk in Central Park and inhaled in all of New York’s splendor. Across the Reservoir in Central Park. Flowers behind the fence. A closer look. The Great Lawn. Duh. My favorite lounging place – near Belvedere Castle. Turtle Pond with a sea of floating moss. Raccoon in Central Park. I kept my distance (that’s why the photo is blurry). … Continue reading Central Park – Featuring Flowers, A Raccoon and David Blaine

On Monday I made a post about the Emmy’s and accidentally referred to Joshua Groban as Joshua Radin. I’m sorry to Joshua Groban, but I fixed it in the post.Joshua Radin is awesome. He most recently sang his song,Today, at Ellen and Portia’s wedding. Prior to that it was featured in Scrubs and Garden State. Here’s a listen. Continue reading Joshua RADIN
Aside from this clip: Joshua Groban’s performance was the best part of the Emmy’s on Sunday night: However, I thought he missed a few goodies.

I’ve always struggled with getting a song stuck in your head. When you have a six-year-old, sometimes the songs that bounce around the noggin aren’t always what you would have picked. Here is what’s plaguing my head right now: http://media.imeem.com/m/PJgsjQHLyb/aus=false/ http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://mike.s.duffy.googlepages.com/mp3player.xml&up_songURL=http%3A%2F%2Fboxstr.com%2Ffiles%2F3630169_fte6x%2F01%2520Imagination%2520Movers%2520Theme%2520Song.mp3&synd=open&w=320&h=50&title=MP3+Player&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://mike.s.duffy.googlepages.com/mp3player.xml&up_songURL=http%3A%2F%2Fboxstr.com%2Ffiles%2F3630203_k3yfs%2FMickey%2520Mouse%2520Club%2520House%2520Hot%2520Dog%2520Song.mp3&synd=open&w=320&h=50&title=MP3+Player&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js Continue reading I Can’t Get Them Out of My Head …
TOYTASTIC brand is celebrating 30 years of its famous mini figures and to mark the occasion the company has given a string of stars a plastic makeover. Those chosen to be immortalized in building bricks include The Beckhams (complete with Posh’s trademark over-sized sunnies and David’s stubble), a tattoo-covered Amy Winehouse and Madonna. Hotties Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie also got the treatment – each … Continue reading Plastic Celebrities courtesy of LEGO
Last month I turned 34 and vowed to be a little kinder to my body. I want to give it more respect, to stop judging it so harshly, to discontinue defining it by society’s standards. I resolve to love my body for what it is, rather than continue to hate it for what it will never be. I’ve got a mane of thick curly hair, … Continue reading My Body Through My Eyes
I’m not into politics. For one thing, I just don’t connect entirely with either party’s black and white views. For another thing, I just don’t entirely trust our government. Blame one too many Matt Damon Hollywood blockbusters, but I think there are just too many conspiracies out there for none of them to be true. But mostly I’m not into politics — because despite all … Continue reading Charlie Gibson interviews Sarah Palin: The Meeting Poetry

By most standards, I am pop-culturally retarded. Or at least I thought I was until I started visiting http://www.perezhilton.com everyday. Now I’m Hollywood-rumor educated. Somehow that seemed to make watching MTV’s VMA’s (Video Music Awards) a good idea. Perez Hilton summarized the VMA’s in a 5 1/2 minute drunken v-blog, but it takes me a bit longer to do the play by play. And yes, … Continue reading A VMA Virgin Play-by-Play
A few months ago I had a stroke of comic genius – my version of it anyway. I love fonts and thought wouldn’t it be great to create a comic strip or cartoon reenactment of the different fonts and how they would relate to each other. Particularly, I envisioned a plot centered on the potential rebellion against Times New Roman. How did he get to … Continue reading Font Humor

While I walk right by a sample sale without the slightest consideration, a roll back the prices to 1908 sale on smoked fish had me RSVPing Absolutely! And now – I’m immortalized in the anals of the New York Post as a pig. Will this town not rest until we are all anorexic? And there are inaccuracies in “our” quote that I will clear up. … Continue reading i pigged out
I put off writing the ABOUT ME section of my blog for a long time. Partly because the Me changes so often. Partly because I don’t know how to stop once I start writing (especially about Moi). I tried to write a bio-type blurb and 5 pages of narcissistic crap came out. So I started a memoir. In the meantime I feel like I owe … Continue reading About Me … Once Upon a Time
