Weekend Re-Cap:

I think Jared from Subway is gaining confidence as an actor / spokesperson. He is undoubtedly more assured of himself in front of the camera and now seems less grateful towards Subway than angry at McDonalds.

You don't see those black twins in Subway commercials anymore. I wonder if they got fat again.

I don't get to see the Eagles game today. Instead I get Eli Manning's debut for the Giants. It's been a pretty sloppy game.

Someone needs to reclaim the word "space" from dirty art-school kids. (I'm a relatively clean art-school kid.) Last night I went to a show at one such "space" in Bushwick. There was a sign on the door that said "No outside alcohol. Throw it out, or drink somewhere else." I do not think it is okay to ban outside alcohol while running an illegal bar. If I'm paying $5 to get in, and $3 for beer in cans, and I can't bring in my own alcohol...what's the difference between your alternative "space" and some real club?

Overheard in Williamsburg:

"That place is so Williamsburg." (Three girls leaving "The Read" while a jazz band was playing. I don't know if they're right or wrong.)
