Today the Mister and I decided to take a jaunt down Manhattan Avenue* and savor some NYC Marathon action. All in all it was pretty fun. Follows are a few highlights. Enjoy!

You can see more pix I took of this event by clicking here. Be sure to check back later for Mr. Heather’s contributions and share your choice tidbits of NYC Marathon Greenpoint goodness in my photo pool!

What can you say about this photograph other than it was taken by garsav and is (aptly) entitled “Greenpoint: The Morning After Halloween”? Nice find, garsav!

ELECTION DAY: Pin The Tail On the Palin

Filed under: Greenpoint Magic 

That’s pretty much what I’ll be doing on November 4th after I cast my vote. Hoping, drinking— and probably praying— the she-wolf of Wasilla and her surly old fart of a running mate are not deemed Oval office-worthy by the “battle ground” states. Thankfully t.b.d. will be hosting an “Election Night Extravaganza” that is totally up my alley…

replete with Baracktails, no less!

The Self-Indulgent Anniversary Post

November 1, 2008 ·
Filed under: Crazy People 

As of last night, October 31, 2008 Mister Heather and I have (more or less) enjoyed three years of matrimonial bliss. About.com states about year three:

The 3rd wedding anniversary is often when a couple is aware of their durability of their relationship. That is why leather is the traditional gift for this celebration. Here are some third wedding anniversary ideas and symbols to help you choose gifts associated with your 3rd marriage anniversary…

A riding crop or cat of nine tails would be greatly appreciated by yours truly. If for no other reason than it might motivate Mister Heather to put his panties in the laundry hamper.

Because “I did”.

Nydia Velazquez Rocks!

This video (which I learned about via Queens Crap) does not pertain to Brooklyn per se, but it all too eloquently explains how eminent domain abuse and excessive (and contextually inappropriate) development harms working class neighborhoods and small business owners.

The building boom is over. How can this city’s officials honestly purport that ousting businesses at Willet’s Point and razing it to the ground (in the hopes that someone develops it) is progress? Really? What’s happening in my neighborhood and in Williamsburg* should be a sobering testament to the contrary.

Happy Day of the Dead!

As I have mentioned in this and this post, there are events aplenty this weekend celebrating Dia de los Muertos in north Brooklyn. Check ’em out!

Miss Heather

P.S.: The above calaveras (and much more) can be found at Huitzilli (624 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, 11211). These bad ass shopping bags also await your delectation.

Even the dead point and click nowadays. Death has, in fact, gone online!
