Young Gay Man Damian Furtch Brutally Beaten at... →
These types of stories are coming up in the news way too often lately and it’s really disturbing. You can’t even be gay in the West Village anymore without getting beat up?

How to Be Boring →
Somehow always be in a relationship. Fact: Boring people always get laid. It’s like they spot each other across the room at Kohls and they’re just like, “Do you like the color blue, In N’ Out, and Napoleon Dynamite? Let’s like be together forever in boring bliss. Let’s talk about the weather or reenact that “Van down by the river” joke 10,000 times and wear sweater vests and have no...

Anonymous asked: I want to thank you for your post about the Philips Wake-Up Light. At first I thought surely you were getting a cut to promote it. In the end I couldn't resist. Waking up has been much more pleasant ever since.

FWD Thinking: Never Get Lost -- Even Indoors --... →
mbooth:
I have barely any sense of direction and I get lost all the time. Once, I got lost in Central Park for about an hour and thought I was going to die alone in the wilderness, gnawing on a discarded hot dog bun left for the pigeons. Basically, I wouldn’t know how to get anywhere outside of my little NYC bubble (which extends from the East Village, where I live, to the Flatiron...

Don’t Call Me, I Won’t Call You →
Nobody has time to chit-chat. Everyone’s usually on the go or in a place where they can’t easily hold a phone conversation but can still e-mail or text — a loud New York City street, at a restaurant, in a meeting, at a party, on the toilet.
Call me if it’s an emergency. If I don’t pick up, send me an e-mail or text. I guarantee I’ll receive it before I get your...

America's Jane Austen dating methods →
In New York City, the alleged hub of dating, the whole dating farrago is freighted with so many rules that Jane Austen would bang her head against the parsonage wall and snap her little bit of ivory in half.
Here is how dating works in New York: you meet a gentleman at a party. Phone numbers are exchanged. Three days later he phones you. Three days later you phone back. Formal dates are held...
