On How Are You Handling Christmas?

You know, there's also the (conveniently forgotten!) fact that many people don't actually celebrate Christmas and are tired of having someone else's religious cheer and commercialism crammed down thir throat for the better part of two months.

Just sayin'.

Yeah, I was gonna say: you take the fucking thing off. It's the same as with leotards. NOT THAT COMPLICATED.

On Snoop Dogg, "Oh Sookie"

Most of which was likely dedicated to thinking of rhymes for "True Blood."

Because cars are just so New York?

I fail to see what's so lacking in "self-respect" about a pedestrian only plaza--those are the hallmarks of many a great European city, after all.

It's more that safety attracts chain stores, who may better able to afford the newly safe, higher valued real estate.

I assume "interactive space" was intended to refer to projects like the car-free Times Square, the High Line, and the newly expanded (and, FYI, fucking gorgeous) Brooklyn Bridge Park. Although I may be incorrect in that assumption!

I hate the condos, too--I live in the shadow of Blue Condo NYC, and used to have to walk past that wavy glass monstrosity on Astor Place every day--but a) they were misguided at the time, and have largely been killed off by the burst of the housing bubble, and b) reducing New York City to just them is kind of ridiculous. As other commenters have pointed out, the "lost" New York of the late 20th century wasn't without its problems. New York: constantly changing.

Yeah, I know it makes me not edgy, and all, but somehow subway stations that don't smell like piss seem like a boon to me.
