VIP Not accustomed to good treatment by bouncers at fancy clubs, I was surprised yesterday by the Adbumb hosted party at Show Nightclub. Their idea of "carding" people was checking business cards at the door. Suddenly, for working at Nielsen, I was cool enough to be admitted, no questions asked. Perhaps I should start name dropping more often. Then I can party with Paris.  ¶ 9/28/2005 10:04:00 AM 0 comments links to this post

Building a better mousetrap? So our new east village apartment seems to have a Mouse Problem. We've caught three of them now, having littered our floor with just about every imaginable type of glue, snap, and tilting trap on the market. My significant other, being terrified of mice, has been living like a fugitive for the last few nights. She wakes up at the slightest sound, leaves the lights on in order to spot them scurrying about our living room, can't be left home alone in the apartment. Our craigslist ad, seeking to "borrow" a hunting cat for a week, elicited no responses. The situation is dire. Fortunately an exterminator weilding "industrial strength powder" will be sprinkling our apartment tomorrow afternoon. Let's hope its toxicity won't take us out as well.  ¶ 9/26/2005 11:28:00 PM 1 comments links to this post
