this is a test of my embedding skills: “hey, that vlog looks very becoming on you…”
How fancy am I?
So fancy that I now post youtube clips of Best Bets, courtesy of Brent Walquist of the Beta Media Group, right here on this here blog. I was going to tell you about how I called 911 today because I walked past a fire but then I got distracted by the bounty that is this:
Red Eye photos UPDATE: link added
You’d be amazed what you can find when you spend a considerable amount of time scouring the internet for pictures of yourself. Wait, did I just say that? What I meant to say is that you wouldn’t believe how time flies when you’re teaching young children how to read. Also, here are some photos PLUS A LINK TO A CLIP:
And then an older one I found:
Friday's TONYblog 1 Thing
I’m always leaving them in tiny cabs.
How creepy is Friday the 13th? Not very, but that’s just because my efforts at scaring you seem to annoy you more than anything. You’re so short-fused today. Would it kill you to pretend? I want you to ponder that while you’re out there getting drunk and hooking up this weekend.
Red Eye tonight
Hello. I like what you’ve done with your hair. Should you be near a television set or recording device at 2am on the east coast and 11pm on the west coast please tune in to the Fox News channel to see me talk about important breaking news that may be neither important nor breaking. Plus, surprises!*
*there might not be surprises
Oh, also, there’s a new 1 Thing vlog at timeoutnewyork.tv
Today's TONYblog 1 thing
Lie back and think of Antarctica
Yesterday I told you that I might regale you with stories of tap dancing today, but instead I’m going to take this special you-and-me moment to remind you that there’s no time like the present for rioting, wilding or engaging in senseless acts of heat-wave sex. It’s currently 217 degrees but it feels like 312, and tomorrow it’s likely to not break the upper two hundreds, so you best get on it. Catch rainbows in mason jars tomorrow! For today, there is only wearing gauzy, filmy, barely there clothing, melting ice cubes on your nubile flesh while bad ’80s music blares in the background and unleashing urban hostilities. Unless none of that interests you, in which case there’s always comedy show Drink at Work. Staying hydrated is important, people!
Monday's TONYblog 1 Thing
Perhaps tomorrow I’ll tell you about the time I made my coworkers take a tap dancing class with me!
How’s it hanging, my sweet kadota figs? Enjoying the heat? I’m not, but then that’s because I’m a human being, not an iguana, camel, dromedary, lizard or anteater (the previous is the result of my turning to my coworkers and asking, “What’s an animal that likes the heat?” Michael misheard me though and thought I said, “What’s an animal that likes to eat,” hence anteater) and so I do better in temperate climes than in this inferno wrapped in a fire doused in a blaze sitting on a hellmouth that I call Tenth Avenue.

Vlogs
I posted this on myspace but now I’m posting it here because I still can’t figure out how to manage these blogs and what I should be posting where and stuff. But anyway:
So Ethan and I do these Vlogs at work when the EIC is unable to do them. I don’t always post them because they’re kind of hard to find but if you go to this link you can see the most recent oneand then if you go to timeoutnewyork.tv you can scroll through and find others. Also, some time ago I hosted an bookcase buildoff at an Ikea in Paramus New Jersey for a story we were doing and if you go to TONY EXCLUSIVES and then Ikea bookcase buildoff it’s there. And there’s some other stuff too, single in the city, service in the city and some interviews from the Black Snake Moan premiere.
Dear bugs,
Please stop biting me. Thank you.
Today's TONYblog 1 Thing
Fujiya & Miyagi
Good afternoon, my precious fiddlehead ferns. After yesterday’s excoriating indictment of my desk at my very own hands I decided to spend some time today cleaning it. And don’t think the fact that you could care less is lost on me, because I feel it. I’m just carrying on anyway because I’m my own copilot, you know?
Now then. It’s come to my attention that not only is it Friday, which is weird since it hardly feels like a Friday, but that you need some hot plans. Why don’t you head on down to the South Street Seaport, Pier 17, say, around 7pm, for Fujiya & Miyagi, whom you may remember from March, when we tried to send you to see them but it just wasn’t happening. Tonight it’s happening. And then go here for some hot bear-on-bear action.
