It only allows you to make reservation 6 days in advance, and the last seating is 9:30. There are 12 seats in the restaurant, which is just a counter in front of the chefs, as they prepare your...

an email my brother received: Hi, Tommy! May be you have called me but since I am out of the USA and have suspended Verizon services, I do not receive calls. The thing is that I happened to fail macroeconomics qualifier exams and had to leave Duke. I just want to let you know that may be it is worth taking your mails I gathered. At least one was from some person or family, I guess. All the mail is...

I spent a day at Criterion a couple weeks ago, and it was awesome. Spent a lot of time on this feature, so check it out and digg it if you’re into that sort of thing.

I’m really not playing enough ping pong.
Why are there walking tours in DUMBO? Today an old woman stared at me as if I was a wild animal in my natural habitat, and she was encroaching upon my space, posssibly a little worried I’d get angry. Then she took a picture of Pedro’s, home of the very mediocre burrito and colorfully gaudy exterior.
Also, do these people know more about the history of DUMBO than I do? That’s...

In a recent email from big brother:
This is from Spiegel. You went to his class once with me. You called him Smeagol (thankfully, not to his face), and you fell asleep during the class.
A long forgotten memory from when I visited him at college while I was still in high school. Sorry Professor Spiegel.
