Shari Lewis, Lamb Chop and Big Bird state an important self-acceptance lesson for the ages...
So... Let's all sing along along with them...
"Forgiveness sake,
Don't change a thing,
You're perfect as a pig!"
Saturday Quickies
All Night with Joey Reynolds seems to have completely vanished. Poof! Gone! No mention of it remains on the New York Non-Stop website. Like it never even existed... Or something... Th show's homepage is still up but there's no explanation.
And speaking of friends... Listen to my friend Gavin Allen's latest Your Night track.
Just discovered Bank of America has been charging me $3 for bank statements that have included images of my cancelled checks. Bastards. I want a new bank... OK so I just logged in and after 5 new security steps changed to Online Banking... Problem is the format they use to show bank statements doesn't copy to Evernote... I refuse to get a printer.
Gawker has a clever short film of street signs... Worth a glance...NYC Arithmetic by Adam Abada.
Still finding my way around the Sidekick 4G (SK4G)... See Sidekick 4G Forum. I've been posting my reviews and questions on there as ToddKick4G. I think I love the Sidekick 4G! But am still working my way through it!
Caught the TVLand Awards Show on the DVR over the weekend. Liza did a great opening number! Cast reunions of Cosby, Facts of Life, Kotter, and Family Ties were all great fun!
I recommend podiatrist Marc Moser.
I recommend Opthalmologist Joshua Beer.
Can't believe it's 3pm already!!! Ack!

Friday Yeow!
Ker Plunk... Yeow!? Xrays show a possible break on a big bone above the big toe joint...
So, I'm now on "Line of Duty" leave for a few days with foot up, prescription Motrin, and frozen peas on my foot... Now it's getting all black and blue... But these drugs do work pretty well... And I hope it's all better by next week so I can resume my work schedule...
So, here I am home with every perfect opportunity to prop up my iced foot and watch the Royal Wedding coverage...
But frankly, I'd rather drop a two ton paper shredder on my other foot than do that... I'm sure to see enough photographic and video-graphic highlights to make up for my current royal blast of apathetic indifference. Sniff.
A Coupla Dental Stories
When I was a lad of 20, one of my wisdom teeth got infected... Dentist decided to treat with antibiotics and warned me that I should have all four wisdom teeth extracted because they were gonna be problematic for my whole life...
The operation for the two on the right side was completely awful and took a long, painful time to heal... An awful process.
Later, I told him I would keep the other two clean and free of infection and that extraction would never be necessary... He was skeptical.
Twenty years later, as he was retiring, he acknowledged that I was right... They didn't need to be extracted, after all... Just cared for...
In retrospect, I wish I hadn't had the surgery on the first two... Now 30 years later... The remaining two wisdom teeth on the left side are still there... And there has never been infection...
Along with regular brushing and dental floss or dental tape, I use this instrument (pictured at right). They sell them at the local pharmacy...Meanwhile, I have had a fractured tooth (sensitive to cold and heat) for 15 years that has never required surgery, and a small cavity that was first detected by my current dentist five years ago... Both are still stable and don't need anything other than my extra careful hygienic vigilance...
My first Baltimore dentist whom I saw twice yearly from ages five through 40 still exchanges Christmas cards with me.
The moral of this story?
There is none.
I was just thinking...
And I look forward to my twice yearly dentist appointments and cleanings... I really do.
Rachelle Rak: Catch Her... If You Can
Read this Broadway World interview: Sas is Back!
"I felt like I accomplished more during this few year stretch of my career than my previous 10 years on Broadway combined because it was the first time I had participated in my career for the sake of the process, not the big payoff. Knowing that I have been a part of Broadway is forever, no matter where I am performing. My ears are now open to other worlds, where no one could tell me good or bad - where it doesn't matter. Show business for over a decade decided if I was good enough. They decided if I would be selected, if I was the right look, type, build, if I had the right voice to sing high enough, or kick to my face. And for the first time in 20 years of a career, these past few years I have decided. And it's invigorating, taking back some little bit of control that we never have as an actor and saying, 'I like me, I like this, I select me, and I'm going to give this a try because I believe in it.' And that's truly life changing".

Geeky Spring Break Coming to a Close
Today is the last day of Spring Break 2011. It's been good...My Spring Break projects???
Got new glasses Got the frames at Oliver Peoples... Similar to my last pair but a little rounder... Warhol-ish, the Sheldrake description sez. LOL... I got em in a light tortoise color... And not the yellow one that first comes up on that page link... And a little darker than the ones pictured at right...
Also, got the new T-Mobile SideKick 4G. I was there the first day it was made available, and the computer system at the store wasn't yet configured for it and the clerk had to do everything manually as T-Mobile is West Coast based and they were still having their morning coffee out there... Anyway, I've had to start over from scratch with Android... It's the new 2.2 version and so there are a whole new level of higher level apps available and so a whole new learning curve... 4G speeds are great, though!Since, I no longer have a land line (and haven't for seven years or so), I spent an hour at the T-Mobile Store at 52nd/8th with Customer Care via the store's telephone asking and getting answers to my long list of questions I've compiled over the last few days... This new Sidekick 4G is a Samsung product and so there are many differences and features too from my last Motorola Cliq Android... And it's very different from those earlier four or five Sidekicks that I had over the years... This is Sidekick 4G is already superior to them ALL, and I hardly know what I'm doing yet!
So... If you see a guy wearing Andy Warhol glasses and walking down the streets of Hell's Kitchen with his nose buried in a new Sidekick, say... Hi....
Jeez, I'm such a geek...

Set the Tone: Nothing is Working Against You
"Any frustration you have is simply the result of wrong thinking... If you were thinking rightly you could not possibly imagine that anything was going 'wrong.' You would know that nothing in the Universe is working against you. By definition, given Who You Are, this is impossible... Move, then, to gratitude when you encounter your frustrations. And see every event as an Opportunity".
-- Neale Donald Walsh

Meanwhile, here's a Starfall Earth Day exercise you might enjoy...
What are you going to do on Earth Day?? At least turn off a light you aren't using... Unplug an appliance when not in use... Meditate.

The Graphic Impulse
Went to see the latest show yesterday at MoMA...German Expressionism: The Graphic Impulse
Not really my cup of tea...
But was glad I went...
From Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (see image) to Max Beckmann, artists associated with German Expressionism in the early decades of the twentieth century took up printmaking with a collective dedication and fervor virtually unparalleled in the history of art. The woodcut, with its coarse gouges and jagged lines, is known as the preeminent Expressionist medium, but the Expressionists also revolutionized the mediums of etching and lithography to alternately vibrant and stark effect. This exhibition, featuring approximately 250 works by some thirty artists, is drawn from MoMA’s outstanding holdings of German Expressionist prints, enhanced by selected drawings, paintings, and sculptures from the collection. The graphic impulse is traced from the formation of the Brücke artists group in 1905, through the war years of the 1910s, and extending into the 1920s, when individual artists continued to produce compelling work even as the movement was winding down.
The exhibition takes a broad view of Expressionism, highlighting a diverse array of individuals—from Oskar Kokoschka and Vasily Kandinsky to Erich Heckel and Emil Nolde—who nonetheless shared visual and thematic concerns. Their works reflect a period of intense social and aesthetic transformation, and several themes of continuing resonance emerge. These include a focus on urban experience, an uncompromising approach to the body and sexuality, and an abiding preoccupation with nature, religion, and spirituality. Most pivotal for these years, however, was the experience of World War I. The war and its aftermath are the subject of works by a range of artists, including Otto Dix, whose series of fifty searing etchings, The War, was based on his own service in the trenches; Käthe Kollwitz, in a portfolio of seven woodcuts focusing on the devastation felt by the families left behind; and Max Beckmann, whose lithographic series, Hell (1919), confronts the violence and decadence in Berlin during the immediate postwar period.

REGION FREE TEST ON ALL 3DS GAMES
Our PAL Nintendo 3DS system finally showed up today after being stuck in courier hell for the past 3 weeks. We took the time and tested all North American 3DS games on it to confirm if any are region free or not.Well, seems the reports we read about the region free option being left to the publishers discretion were either inaccurate or they just all decided not to use the option. We can confirm ALL North American 3DS games are NOT region free.
We will continue to test all future North American 3DS games on our PAL console. If at any point a miracle happens and one is region free we'll post the miraculous results here.

I'm All Over the Place...
Woohoo! I just zeroed my inbox!! Been a looong time since that happened!!
I just did a batch of charity donations the other day... All to support friends who are doing marathons, walks, runs, and memorials... But, next time, I want to try out Givology.
I've been digging Hell's Kitchen's healthy and nutritious B-Bap Fusion Rice Bar lately... And I learned that I actually like Kimchi. 830 Ninth Ave., New York, NY 10019 Between 54/55th. New York magazine recommends: Wow meat dumplings, $5.50; spicy chicken b-bap, $8.50; noodle b-bap, $8.50; classic b-bap, $9... I'm hooked on the Spicy Chicken B-Bap myself w/ a side of Kimchi... It's all enuf for two meals... Seriously.
Need a good ophthalmologist? I completely recommend Dr. Joshua Beer.
Finally resolved a dispute with Virgin Mobile. Virgin Mobile is pond scum. They lied about the fact that I returned the modem and cancelled the plan well within the warranty trial period... Instead of wasting a minute on calling their sweet but helpless Customer Service reps in Manila, my advice is to just call your credit card company and file a dispute... That process still took months... And Virgin Mobile lied to the bank at every juncture to drag it all out... Save your receipts for the original purchase and your shipping return receipts til the credit card company asks for them... And that takes a while. Virgin Mobile are crooks! Virgin Mobile sucks! Is that enough search words?? LOL
I heart Field Notes.
How do you make a heart symbol in text? Alt + keypad 3 = ♥
On the agenda today... To start the eyeglass frames hunting expedition. Will start at Oliver Peoples on the UES... They don't open til noon!
Damn! I hate when businesses don't open til noon! I'm such an early bird! I like getting around before the traffic...

Modems Gone Bad
So, what did it take to fix my awful Internet connections??
Turns out the signal to my house is perfectly strong and acceptable...
It was the damned RCA Modem... I guess, like a tub of cottage cheese, they can go bad...
So, while the lights danced and it looked like it was perfectly fine... Once switched out for a new one... Viola!... It was the culprit!
Time Warner Cable guy that came here was awesome! Very knowledgeable, efficient, personable and fun. He helped with a few other complicated issues too... And even called a guy at headquarters to get answers to some of my more complicated questions...
My slow upload speeds?? Easily fixed... But only IF I upgrade to another package... (I wasn't even aware of tiered pricing. When I started it was a flat rate for home service and speeds were blazing...)
Also learned that Speedtest.Net is THE Speed Meter that everyone uses these days... With Speedtest, I'm pulling a 19.17 Download and 0.49 Upload... (Also, the Ping test shows an A for Line Quality, 12 ms ping, Jitter, 1ms, and a Packet Loss of 0%)
What are YOU pulling??
Please run Speedtest.Net yourself and put the results in the comments along with the kind of connection you have (Cable, DSL, Fios, Wireless, Etc... And location: New York, London, Podunk, Orangeburg, Babylon, Charlotte, etc...)
I'm just curious...

Monday Vacation Stuff
"Hurry! Hurry!" That's what I keep yelling at my crappy Time-Warner Roadrunner Internet connection...! It goes in miserable waves lately... But the latest tests on TestMy.Net are a measly 705 Kbps for Download. Upload is barely detectable at 70 Kbps. Am also yelling for the Repair Guy to get here.... "Hurry Hurry"!
There a zillion little things I was psyched to do in the chore department today... From updating my cel phone plan, checking my credit report for errors or fraud, and adding a few events and contacts to my Google calendar and address book... All these things need to be done online of course... And not worth doing at this rate of speed...
So, instead, I decided to soak and scrub a bevy of plastic toys that a neighbor was throwing out... Will clean em up and spread 'em around to my charges... But I'm soaking and cleaning em first...
There was a Wonder Woman, Speed Racer and a Superman in the batch... Sheesh. I dunno if I'll be able to part with those, though... LOL (I know what Wonder Man would say)
Found a new good Ophthalmologist today... My eyes are in great shape... No signs of cataract or glaucoma or retinal, macula, or optic nerve trouble... Opthamologists like that that I have a background in eyeballs... They love an opportunity to talk shop. Meanwhile my eye glasses still serve me well with 20/20 plus vision. Nice.
Next step in that process... Find some new frames... That'll move farther up the list once this damned cable guy gets here...
Passover starts at sundown. Quinoa or no quinoa, I wish all my Jewish friends a Happy Passover!!

Sunday Stuff
Been meaning to post that for *the best haircut* in Hell's Kitchen at *the best price* in Hell's Kitchen, go see Peggy on Saturday's only... At Roosevelt Barber Shop, 882 Ninth Avenue, just above 57th Street on the the East side of the street. She's the Asian lady that works there (on Saturday's only!)... Only $17 (before tip)...Spent entire day yesterday indoors doing stuff. Just as well the weather was horrendous... I don't even know how many thunderstorms trolled through... At least they weren't the tornadoes that some other areas got...
(Image of an artwork by Jose' Parla')
Got a lot done... But there's always more...
I killed a snake plant. Actually two... Frankly, I swear the repair people got waterproofing in the pot when they started working on the floor above me without the promised warning... And they were both out on a ledge... R.I.P.... And thanks for the restored window ledge space..
Need to get my T-Mobile Account squared away. They have a new Unlimited offer. Wanna see if it's better than my current plan... And I want to see what kind of deal I'll qualify for on the Sidekick 4G if it's indeed released this week as rumored... The fact that it has a five row keyboard is a show stopper for me...
Motorola Cliq always had a great feel but missed that fifth row. And Motorola never upgraded it to Android 2.0 as they promised multiple times. I feel suckered. And Motorola is now officially dead in my book. If I ever see a Motorola product for sale, it's not gonna be for me. I hold grudges like that...
I still haven't forgiven Human Rights Campaign for backing Alphonse D'Amato over Chuck Schumer in a New York Senate race.. And when was that? Like a decade ago? At this rate, Christine "Term Limits" Quinn will have a long wait...
In the market for new eye wear... That's on the chore list this week too...
I gotta patch a teeny tear in my leather couch... OMG... Who knew that the leather was sooooo thin of that thing!! "Stressed leather" means weakened. They should just call it "Easily Torn Leather!"!
Trying to decide about some new prospective projects... And what direction I want to go... As Lady Donothing would say: "What-do-you-want". Actually that was Don the Hypno-Therapist who used to say that... What/Do/You/Want... With distinct pauses in between. Always a good question to stop and ask yourself from time to time...
Organizing the First Saturday of Spring Break
Breaks for me are just as much about catching up as they are R&R... And my growing jam-packed list of Spring Break 2011 chores, events, and errands keeps getting longer and longer and longer and...
Started off last night with meeting up with some friends at the Renaissance Hotel. There's a second floor lounge there that overlooks Times Square like the bow of a luxury liner. The whole thing had a freaky cruise ship feel... So a reunion of an ol' cruise ship performer friend, from Santa Fe, (and her adorable cruise pax mother) made the whole thing even more surreal...
BTW, never order the pork nachos at that place... That's just a fancy name for pork rinds and had nothing at all to do with those fabulous Barbeque Nachos at Virgil's' a few months back... Never a-s-s-u-m-e!
Among the immediate chores at hand: Desk cleaning, de-cluttering, and getting bearings...
You get the picture...
Apologies...
Hi all, I have changed the setting for the writing task. You should be able to access the document now.
Thanks.
Sincerely apologetic :o

Let's get real here, nerds
So I don't know if you've played Dixit with me before, but it's a pretty fun party game. You can read my review if you want, but that's not the point of this post.Dixit is a party game that comes with 84 big, really cool cards with paintings on them. You can get it on Amazon for like 25 bucks with free shipping.
So here's the thing. If you preordered the expansion, Dixit 2, the company gave you a promo card for free. 1 card. It doesn't change anything about how the game plays, it's just one extra card that you can describe. But you can't get it anymore. So let's say it's 2011 and you ordered Dixit 1 and Dixit 2 on Amazon. You've got a total of 168 cards but you don't have this one card. EBay does though.
How much do you think people would pay for one card?
I've seen a bunch of these auctions and they always go for this much. I mean, come on, you could buy a brand new game for this much.
Edit: The Dunwich Horror expansion for Arkham Horror (great game) is currently out of print and will be reprinted. But in the meantime, if you want a copy it'll be like $125.00 to get your copy (normally, like $30-$35).
