The Search for Love in Manhattan

January 24, 2005

For those of you who haven't seen Judy Bachrach's delectable savaging of Brigitte Quinn on the subject of President Bush's second inauguration, go here. I promise it'll be worth it. It's safe for work, unless of course you happen to work in, you know, America.

And regarding another matter: two more people have done this. I now have a wonderful DVD of The Royal Tenenbaums, which I have already watched, and a wonderful vegetable peeler, with which I have already peeled three cucumbers (for entirely innocuous purposes, I promise you). But, again, there were no names or return addresses. While I love receiving gifts, I love being able to thank people for them even more. So if you sent me a pie protector, a vegetable peeler, or a DVD, would you mind too terribly emailing me your name and address so I can write you a proper thank-you note?

Thank you.

I sent you a pie protector, vegetable peeler, and DVD. The other stuff hasn't shown up yet, but it will.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Am so jealous! I scratched my copy of The Royal Tenenbaums. Now that you have watched it, send it to me!

Love, love, love Judy Bachrach! I sat with her (not next to her) at a table, at a benefit in NYC last year. Totally, fiercely intellectual. I didn't mind feeling like a pleb that night!

Does it bother you in the slightest that somehow, people are successfully going to somewhat great lengths to track down your contact information? I mean, you don't even post sensitive material, including pictures of your face, for what you consider to be security purposes. I think people spending time and effort to locate me would be a tad disconcerting.

Faustus, I recently sent you an offer for a Citibank gold card and a CD loaded with free AOL for a month. Did you get those?

its when you start getting diamonds and gin that it really gets exciting

the tenenbaums was me. hope you liked it. it's one of my favourite movies.

Oh my your being stalked, really by cooking utensiles. What is the stalker trying to tell you thats what makes me wonder.

10) PeevedEve said (on 01/26/05 at 07:43 AM):

I sent you a copy of "My Year of Meats" (it's not what you think) slightly used but readable. It goes along with the 'cooking' theme.

11) Jeffrey said (on 01/26/05 at 11:38 AM):

I had watched that clip already, but personally I am even more amused by the fact that the site runs an ad for "Alien vs. Predator" just prior to delivering you to the page with the video.

If it makes you feel less confused, or even slightly better, I haven't sent you a single thing.
