(Sep 23) I do this almost nightly again. Out to the highway, and back again.

perfectly normal
He’s pushing a grill down the street at 10PM

sad, if not so unusual
My detective skills inform me that it flew into the supermarket window

the pills of ruin
A sign of our times

dave thomas is rolling over in his grave
Indeed my experience lately has been that Wendy’s is only good for throwing into the street

(Sep 20) A return to the San Gennaro festival. I haven’t been since I left Brooklyn. It has gotten smaller and has become overrun by iPhone accessories.

i look like my brother here
Your author, looking harried

i don't know what it is i'm hoping to capture here, but i never find it
Through the tunnel

a donut was reported missing

Someone didn’t get the memo. We don’t have hippies anymore, now we have hipsters.

spend money please
The width of the street surely hasn’t changed, but it feels cramped now.

doesn't even cross my mind
You know,… it never occurs to me to eat any of this stuff

money to be given to the poor
Saint Januarius

someday soon
Someday, this will all be part of Chinatown

The “Drown the Clown” carnival game is no longer a part of it.

Something about the snow this year,

vera would kick his ass if she knew
I caught Pete smoking

(Nov 18) I need to figure out a better way to process my phone photos. Instant uploads to “the cloud” turn out not to be terribly useful to me.

it's a very short list of things i'm going to miss about here
Ok. I’m going to miss grilling over an open fire.

nearly invisible me
I like this effect

in the eerie glow
It takes decent night photos for a phone

i've been there twice now
I sent this to Viza to announce my arrival on Roosevelt Island

it was not however, a sign of good fortune
If you look closely, there’s a rainbow

bitch!
Jesse Pinkman wuz here

seven. eleven. "pizza." need more be said?
A travesty committed against pizza

i miss seeing lindsay regularly
I had lunch with Lindsay and Leah

he's a good little boy
I’m really going to miss him.

this is how george hotz got his job at google
Irony.

aren't we all?
The stickers spoke truth.
