They're back! Late hummingbirds, that is. We don't know if it's climate change, or just more people noticing, but more and more western hummers are showing up in the east after fall migration should be over. Last year they were in Yonkers and at Fort Tryon Park; this year they're even closer. There's been a Selasphorus genus bird (almost certainly a Rufous) in Central Park for over a week now, and I just got word that there is a probable Calliope downtown at Battery Park City. Must go take a look…
(And don't forget the Yellow-breasted Chat that's been hanging out in Bryant Park.)

Sonic Boom in his Experimental Audio Research incarnation, is playing at Northsix on Friday. The "other half" of Spacemen 3, he could have been a pop star like Jason Pierce of Spiritualized, but he's too devoted to art-noise-drone, and continues to operate on a relatively small scale. Could be a thrill or a snooze; maybe both.
They saved Meinhof's brain, and now it's going back. New strategy against terrorism: autopsy first, then trial!
Harry Potter jellybeans. Mmmmm... Earwax.
Maybe you read about the LaughLab in last week's New Yorker. Finally checked out the site. A few laughs, and some interesting international differences in what people find funny. If you really want to knock 'em dead, 103 words about a necrophiliac duck should do it.
lunch at Aquagrill had more just ok parts than great parts but I have never loved this popular place.....dinner at Chimichurri Grill was great, the owner is nuts, very fun to hang with, the staeks purrfecto, best empenadas in town....
This wasn't what I was looking for, but it came up on two unrelated searches, so I'm posting it. Besides, you've got to love a blog called eschaton, though if you think you know where the name came from, you may be wrong.
here's some happy news...the earth's polarity is going to switch, and everyone's gonna be screwed.
This'd be a biggie for Osama and the Bush Administration.
the market these last weeks has had the grape people, they come every fall, we had 5 different grapes, one of the best market treats (oh and our little kitty likes the Delaware variety, pulp only).....
that pumpkey is too funny
When the gods want to punish you they deliver not one but two post election newspapers to your house, which feature the smiling? Trent Lott front page and center. So I have an extra one if anybody wants one. Actually two extra. Going once...going twice...gone with Monday's trash. On the bright side, I had a bit of good luck at work on Friday.
This place sounds good....and expensive....
Steve DiBenedetto's show which close's today 11/9, is brilliant and one of the finest art shows I have seen in years (I dont get out much:>).....Derek Eller 526-30W25
Cho Dang Gol, excellent Korean, was 2* in NYT in 1998 (Ruth I assume), daily tofu made, different and a worthy stop....55W35 / near 6th....
Monochrome forever!

small apocalypse wow blurb with pic in this week's new york mag (page 24 bottom left). lists the web site so get ready for some hits, jim.

Reporting from off the beaten path, in the highly path-ified LES. Apizz, eldridge street just off stanton. No window exterior, but warm and friendly on the inside. I think they have some connection to peasant (soho).
Italian. Everything is cooked in a huge wood burning oven. Pizza's, baked lasagna (with wild boar), whole fish, chicken, steak, baked skate. $18 - $22.
Food is simple. Good. Room is very nice.
I'm not blown away, but very seviceable (if a bit expensive.) This will be a great addition to the neighborhood, except I bet it will get crowded. It's early (no press yet for them) and already the crowd is 100% from out of the neighborhood.
Worth a look.
