December 30, 2004 08:22 PMfirefox toysI found a new thing today! (Hi from vieques, by the way). I use Firefox, a Mozilla variant, which I've used since back in the day. It's an awesome browser, you should use it if you don't already. But that's about all of the proselytizing that I will do. This is for existing Firefox users: An annoyance I've always had is that when you open a new URL from a different application (eg: mail client), Firefox opens the URL in the currently focused tab. That kills me. I want it to open in a new tab... obviously! Behold! The Tabbrowser Preferences Firefox Extension. Install it and weep. It has lots of options, but all I really care about is "Load external links in New Tab." Also, this plugin allows you to make all clicked-on-links open in new tabs, not in new browser windows, nor do you have to right click-->open in new tab. yessss. Thank you. Have a nice day. December 21, 2004 09:16 PM601 10th StreetHello Gentle Reader- It is after midnight, and the movers come in the morning. I am currently avoiding packing (quite well, I might add). I've purged more things from my life than ever before in a move, and it feels so good. As I prepare to leave this house that has brought me so much joy, and has been witness to so much love, I wish to record images of the walls that saw it all. I fell so in love within these walls. I wept inside of these rooms. I partied in all the possible ways. I felt all four seasons wash over me with abandon. I truly *lived* when I was here. There are a whole mess of photos, but here's some highlights from 601 10th Street:
December 21, 2004 07:50 AMfortuitous morningI found a silver quarter in my change this morning as I prepared for the laundry. It's a weird little thing to note, but for all of my adult life, I've listened to the sound of quarters clinking and looked at printed dates on quarters, hoping to get one. (quarters were silver from 1932 until 1964. After 1964 copper nickel composition was issued) They're really quite rare. Also, if you know anything about abandonded buildings in San Francisco, you really, really, really should read this site about the Public Health Service Hospital. It's quite amazing, actually. UPDATE @ 6pm: I found a silver dime too!!!!! December 20, 2004 07:48 PMfollow upso, to follow up my toast question, I now pose this: Is it wrong to eat a quesadilla in the bath? December 20, 2004 07:20 AMa dusting of snowI'm back in New York, having spent the weekend celebrating the wedding of my closest friend, in Toronto! I was a last minute, surprise guest, and it was a super fun party. I'm packing up my life here in Brooklyn, to move it to San Francisco. ebay boxing successful auctions, and other things. Laundry today too. I'm sure I have more news, but I realy just wanted to replace the last entry from last night, to be honest. December 19, 2004 05:30 PMI'm not doing very well. December 16, 2004 11:01 AMtoastIs it wrong to eat toast in the shower? I mean, beyond the whole crispyness-diminished-by-humidity-thing. December 08, 2004 12:52 PMsuckReasons that today sucks: * I forgot & was late for gene December 07, 2004 10:20 AMin loveI'm in love with a woman. Her name is New York City. I love all of her boroughs, all of her crappy weather, her bitchy cab drivers and her delayed subways. I love her brownstones, her skyscrapers and the perfect tree lined streets of Brooklyn. I rode my $100 Jet Blue flight last night, middle seat and all, it was still wonderful. I listened to the Beasties ode to New York City on the plane, got amped up. I had a car waiting for me when I got out of bagage claim (classic New Yorkers all jostling for their same black bag), had him drive me all around town, to drop off my bags, and then to the Village to see Lizzy. We had great conversations with people that I feel long lost from (EVEN THOUGH THEY READ MY BLOG FROM USCOURTS.GOV), and a randomly deep and insightful soul-searching-one with two people I'd never met before. Liz & I spent some quality time at Crif Dogs, having full dairy overload, and then alt.coffee until they too kicked us out. I walked the empty, rainy strees of the LES/Village and got on the subway at 1:30 in the morning. Like a beaufitul carriage taking me to the ball, the F Train showed up as I walked down the stairs at 2nd Avenue. I listened to Jay-Z, and read trashy magazines until it brought me to 7th Ave. I smelled the beautiful smells of fresh rain on a Brooklyn night. I slept peacefully in my own bed, sprawling out in that selfish way that you can only do when you painfully miss your partner and want to possess her space. I love my bed. I think it is my favorite physical possession. I slept until noon, with the window opened, and the curtains closed, creating serious darkness. It was awesome. I just went to Naidre's, where the guy who I always thought was surly and hated me, remembered my name (I tipped mightily). I made it there in perfect timing (breakfast ends at 1pm, I got there at 12:45) for my breakfast sandwich and one for egg too. Naidre remembed me, and we talked. I feel so fucking loved in this town. also, I had coffee for the first time in a week. everything in life is fucking awesome. It will be so rad to have all of my things in elly & my house in San Francisco. I am so thrilled to come visit here. I think that's the answer. I need a home that I'm really in with elly, and then the ability for me or us to come here to NYC to play. It feels right. December 02, 2004 02:15 PMmoved inhi. Yesterday Bobby helped elly & I move into the new apartment. elly packed lots of things into neat boxes the night before. I rented a U-Haul (hey, I tried to use other vendors, but U-Haul was cheaper!) and got all that I could carry alone, and then we did it all after dark. It was fun, I got cranky, but elly brought burritos, which made it all better. This morning, toshok invited me to boogaloos, which was obviously exactly the right thing to eat. I have discovered two excelent places to do yoga in the new apartment, so that is a plus. Also, I am on day 3 without coffee, and I fucking hate everyone and everything, so don't take it personally, ok? Right now, I set in a cold room (I'm too lazy to turn on the heat) with yoko nibbling at my toes (awww), resting temporarily against a wall, on the floor. Thank god for neighbors with generous wireless networks. aw fuckit, no one cares what I have to say. here are the pictures. Many more in days.
