happy birfday to vialune (Dec 11 2003 15:50 GMT) - This week is the second anniversary of vialune.org existing, and I still haven't put up half of what I had wanted to put up here in the first place (much less the second or third place...)

Third Verse, Same as the First (Dec 11 2003 15:48 GMT) - This time last year, I was wishing for my EAD. Wouldn't you know it... here I am again. I should explain. The lapse in my work eligibility is my own fault. |

Enough of That Already (Dec 11 2003 15:48 GMT) - I have a sense that I've been getting too self-deprecating recently. My confidence in myself has often been confused with arrogance. I understate my abilities and qualities for humorous effect, and to keep my ego from blossoming out of control. Uncertainty is less appealing to me than excessive confidence though. I need to dial that crutch back a bit. |

Mayor B and the Hope (Dec 11 2003 15:46 GMT) - With economics indicators "hinting" that New York City is coming out of a recession, Gothamist expects Mayor Bloomberg to continue his charm offensive until mayoral elections in 2005. And by charm, we mean stuff like complimenting residents for putting up with tax hikes at the unveiling of Bruce Ratner's Brooklyn redevelopment plan, as reported by the Post, also adding that NYers won't have to pay extra for snow related charges (for this first storm) and that there won't be any tax hikes soon. Mayor Bloomberg doesn't need to be mayor for another term, as he's got his billionaire empire to run, but we can all guess that a billionaire's ego can be as big as his bank account. Maybe he's getting tips from Jay–Z (above, far left) about how to pimp a little. |
