refresh:

Hanging out in my dad’s office in North Carolina. Strangely quiet place.

I’ve never met Armistead’s dad, but I’m jealous of his location right now.

We got a new washer this week after ours was broken for a month.  Our apartment has been a laundromat all week long.We got a new washer this week after ours was broken for a month.  Our apartment has been a laundromat all week long.

Here’s today’s lunch view.  I love Chinese bakeries.  I found a great one today off Bayard St., close to my jury duty home and they hooked it up with pork buns and a hot dog bun for $2 and some change.  It’s a good thing I don’t have jury duty all the time because I’d frequent these bakeries all the time and be really fat/constipated.Here’s today’s lunch view.  I love Chinese bakeries.  I found a great one today off Bayard St., close to my jury duty home and they hooked it up with pork buns and a hot dog bun for $2 and some change.  It’s a good thing I don’t have jury duty all the time because I’d frequent these bakeries all the time and be really fat/constipated.

I’m at jury duty again today.  Other than wrecking my plans to see Tropic Thunder, jury duty isn’t a bad experience.  The staff is nice and yuks it up with all of us.  They’ve encourged us to shake the vending machines if they take our money and said, “We don’t know if you’ll serve on trial or not yet, but things look good for the home team at this point.”  We are on the same team as the staff.  I’m gonna print up jerseys if I have to come back tomorrow.  Here’s view #1 of my lunch break yesterday.  You can see one of the NYC Waterfalls under the support on the B Bridge.I’m at jury duty again today.  Other than wrecking my plans to see Tropic Thunder, jury duty isn’t a bad experience.  The staff is nice and yuks it up with all of us.  They’ve encourged us to shake the vending machines if they take our money and said, “We don’t know if you’ll serve on trial or not yet, but things look good for the home team at this point.”  We are on the same team as the staff.  I’m gonna print up jerseys if I have to come back tomorrow.  Here’s view #1 of my lunch break yesterday.  You can see one of the NYC Waterfalls under the support on the B Bridge.

I have jury duty today.  I’m currently sitting in a quiet room full of 90 or so New Yorkers just hanging out waiting for our names to be called.  And I’ll probably be here tomorrrow.  Good things though: everyone here, especially the court staff, is really nice; free wifi; a LONG lunch break; you’re allowed to sleep.  Kind of like coffeeshop culture except someone may go to jail on our watch.

Even more carnage from the VH1 office move: The lost Art Garfunkel file in a waste bin.  Now the lid will never be blown off that “Mrs. Robinson” case, or who the real genius behind “Call Me Al” was.  So many treasures in this pop culture wasteland…  (Is that also a file for “Gap Band”, the newest Rock Band offering where all the characters wear slouch jeans and Project RED clothes?  The world will never know.)Even more carnage from the VH1 office move: The lost Art Garfunkel file in a waste bin.  Now the lid will never be blown off that “Mrs. Robinson” case, or who the real genius behind “Call Me Al” was.  So many treasures in this pop culture wasteland…  (Is that also a file for “Gap Band”, the newest Rock Band offering where all the characters wear slouch jeans and Project RED clothes?  The world will never know.)

More carnage of the VH1 move. Boxes of tapes and scraps from shows are everywhere. Some of the stuff is pretty cool and salvageable, but I think we can all agree, that “Gay” box is out of hand. Really, it needs to go.  You don’t see any other box here flaunting it’s sexual orientation do you?  That’s right Gay box, you’ve outstayed your welcome.More carnage of the VH1 move.

Tonight was my last in this office. My department at VH1 is moving offices from 1633 Broadway down to SoHo. The office halls are covered in boxes and moving crates right now while we film the podcast. So after tonight, no more lonely nights at this desk. Soon I’ll have a much hipper downtown desk to spend lonely nights at.  But the move brings some changes.  I will miss the being two stops from work on the subway, the shorter cab ride home, being 2 blocks from Carrie’s neighborhood for a short walk to work after hanging out, and most of all, seeing the giant size statue of Diddy in Times Square staring me down when I walk to the building.  But I’m looking foward to new dinner takeout menus in SoHo and Chinatown and I’ll probably be able to see Diddy’s giant picture from down there too.Tonight was my last in this office.
