Appropriately chaotic and colorful; who better for the Rustics, really?
I'm thankful for all those in this life who make me smile.
I'm thankful for the unending chances I have to make others smile from the stage and from the ground, like my heroes before me.

PLEASE show your friends! LOST DOG, sweet rednose pitbull: CINNAMON! it's been since TUE NOV 17: please, help us find CINNAMON!

SHE IS SPAYED. SHE IS MICROCHIPPED TO OUR NAME; she is MIDDLE AGED (5-6yrs of age); SHE HAS A COLLAR AND POSSIBLY A LEASH attached to it; SHE MAY BE HURT.

PLEASE--TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW; PLEASE HELP US FIND CINNAMON: WE DON'T WANT HER TO FALL INTO THE WRONG HANDS; NO QUESTIONS ASKED, WE JUST WANT HER SAFELY BACK -

in the picttures below, is our little 45pounds, middle aged, SPAYED, GOOD GOOD pit mix CINNAMON . TUE nov 17th afternoon she escaped the leash and ran, and was possibly hit by a car which caused her to RUN AWAY very FAST, IN SHOCK --and a search until past midnight between senaca, wilson and DECATUR, where she escaped from, turned in no results.

She ran ON DECATUR in the direction of KNICKERBOCKER and then was seen in a parking lot on DECATUR and MYRTLE.

Hey all! I am currently reviving the LJ and remembering what a great resource these communities are!

I've made some bike-themed shirts for my fellow cyclists. Want one?

After I've spent the afternoon slaving away in the kitchen making German Lebkuchen, I've suddenly been hit by an accute craving for British Christmas foods - specifically, plum pudding (because any dessert that you set on fire is brilliant) and mince pies. Any idea how I could get my hands on that sort of stuff in Manhattan?

Hello NewYorkers! i'm here doing some research for my cousins who will be coming over from overseas. I looked through some of the tags but I'm not certain exactly what to look under. I've checked out a lot of short term sublets/rentals but here's what we are looking for:

My cousin is looking for a 1bedroom or studio apt somewhere in Manhattan (below 100st) or off the L (not past Bedford) to rent from Feb 6-Feb 13th under $700 incl. cleaning fees. I've checked craigslist for them and have checked a few rental apartment sites, but does anyone else have recommendations or know of companies/people who offer short term rentals for a week?

Thanks!

Subsequent to my trip to Hong Kong last June for Music Matters, Dirt Star (a musician based out of Shenzhen in southern China) and I connected through Twitter. I quickly became interested in this Western expat who started from scratch as a one-man band, utilizing a modified acoustic guitar with built-in midi controller for rocking beats in sync with Ableton Live. Over time, he became a jack-of-all-trades, playing in a number of bands, including a stint as an electronic DJ, as guitarist and lead singer for an indie rock band, a street performer, an electronic jazz artist. He's even performed pop songs before live audiences of over 20,000. Dirt Star now performs in a 3-piece punk rock and has shared stages with some of the biggest names in alternative music, including the Dirty Three, Feeder, the Rheostatics, and China's biggest diva, Faye Wong.

My Thanksgiving hostess said that cole slaw would be fine, but I did not ignore the comments of the fine folks who are kind enough to read my scribbles.

I made a salad with cabbage, carrots, onions, kerbies, parsley, soy mayonnaise (not a lot), and sesame oil. I'm thinking I might decorate with pecans and cauliflower before serving.

It didn't all fit into the bowl, so I ate the leftovers as a snack. Yum! I'll do this one again.

Here's a color wheel:

And I'm on a roll. This was the first project we did in "ABC's of Color" - four analagous colors blended to four different degrees. Teacher chose the colors and put them in kits for this one to get us started. There are two greens and two yellows here - though the uninitiated would call two of the shades "browns" rather than yellow and green. I learned on Day 1 that there is no brown. Every brown is just an unsaturated shade of something else.

This piece consists of four different degrees of blending on hand combs. From left to right: blending hardly at all; blending a bit more; blending a lot more; and then blending to near 100% homogeneity. Great exercise.

Hey everyone,

My boyfriend and I are heading out to NYC to spend some time in the city before we head up to his folks' place for Christmas.

We're planning on going to a musical but we're not sure which one to go see. I was thinking Avenue Q or Rock of Ages. I know Rock of Ages isn't going to be great, but I <3 the 80s.

So newyorkers, I pose this question to you. What musical currently on Broadway would you recommend? I checked the tags earlier but there weren't any recent posts about this.

I've already seen Phantom, Wicked, Mamma Mia, and Chicago - but if the current Broadway production for any of those particular shows are out of this world, I'd be up for seeing one of those again.

UPDATED: And any suggestions as to a great place in the city to see at. I was thinking of trying to go to Annisa, but if there's an amazing restaurant that you would suggest, I'd appreciate the feedback!

A "Christian" applies the logic that same sex marriage will result in God destroying cities.

God's reaction to what He considered abominations was what your reaction to a web full of black widows, or a nest of stinging ants. You destroy the nest, and kill all the varmints. Then they, and the misery thy commit doesn't get passed on. God loves the sinner, but hates the sin. If the sinner continues, God's patience will run out.
