The NYC media website GAWKER had this interesting item today:
----------------------------

Hits for “Fleet Week” search broken down by Craiglist Personals section:

men seeking men: 60
women seeking men: 2
men seeking women: 1
women seeking women: 0

Fleet Week, as you probably know, is when literally thousands of Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen dock in New York for week-long "festivities."

PSYCHO KITTY!

Okay, people at work are STILL laughing about this moment last night on American Idol. Geez.

Just watched the American Idol finale. Amid the hoopla, the camera was getting shots of Taylor Hicks' family, tearfully cheering and celebrating. And then, inexplicably, was a shot of David Hasselhoff in the audience. ALSO in tears. Fabulous.

The girl introduced me to one of her favorite cartoons yesterday: Jem. Never heard of her. It's clearly an early 80s phenomenon, with the crazy outfits and hair. (Think leggings and scrunchies and really bad make-up and earrings.) Jem apparently is some rock singer and her band is called the "Holograms." It is absolutely HI-LARIOUS. She rented some of the episodes from NetFlix just to show me. All I could think about was how much my gay boyfriends would like it.

The girl and I went to Ikea yesterday to pick up a new shelf-unit for our new TV in the basement. It was actually quite painless, as these things go. (Oh, except for our decision to go thru the "self-checkout" line. We never have good luck with these things, but we keep doing it. We somehow think it will be "faster." What inevitably happens is we screw something up along the way, thereby setting off all sorts of announcements beckoning the help of an "associate," and we end up laughing our asses off and making a scene.)


The girl put the unit together since she is REALLY good at that kind of stuff. And REALLY am not. See, she's really handy -- loves house projects, owns all kinds of tools, etc. I'm handy with the yellow pages and a checkbook. I'll always remember when I lived in my condo on Capitol Hill, she came over one time to help me fix something and she walked in with a power drill in a Victoria's Secret bag. I almost proposed on the spot.

I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I worked all weekend, filling in for a producer who was getting married. I got up at 430AM both Saturday and Sunday morning and produced two 2-hour live news programs. (All this in addition to producing my own weekly program.) Everything went really smoothly, but it was pretty stressful and I'm totally wiped out. Thank God I have the next days off to recover!
