On Saturday I went to the 2010 Whitney Biennial with my friend Justin and his ol’ lady. I’ll tell you, I was actually more excited about the food options at the museum than the exhibit. I mean, 2008′s biennial sucked a big ol’ donkey’s ass and I vowed not to ever go to another. Well, [...]
For the most part when we’ve done noodles in Chinatown, the ol’ lady and I have gone to Big Wong or Hong Kong Noodle Station. No more! Last night we went to Lam Zhou Handmade Noodles & Dumplings in the part of Chinatown just east of the Manhattan Bridge. Sure, that we were out in [...]

It was a comforting end to a depressing day that started with the funeral early this morning. It rained all day and was cold—just above freezing. So capping the day with Maria’s, a pizza [...]
365.63: Snickers, originally uploaded by Adam "Slice" Kuban. I had a better photo for today, but someone didn’t want me to make the photo public, even though it didn’t show her face. Granted, it was more about what else was in the photo than her headless body.
