Tales from the Bronx
So yesterday, on my way to my morning job in the Bronx (this one’s off the 5 train), I keep passing this place that I swore was a place that sold fried chicken….It is called CRISPY FITTED. I finally got over my initial fear and took a closer look and discovered that it indeed did NOT sell chicken but OBVIOUSLY sold fitted jeans and tees….of the crispy kind of course. Well, does...
And this song brings us to Truer Story...

Today's Truer Story
Today was not all that extraordinary, but not every day can be a Disney World day now can it? Today I neither had to work, nor did I have to go to my own schooling…so I decided that I should do something fun. Well, I tossed around the option of going to Dave and Buster’s, but Andy chose P.S.1….I was not opposed. Last time I had a wonderful time swimming with my clothes on in...

Magic Talent Shows
A lot of people think magic camp is just for kids. And that’s why so many other people in my class were kids. Self-fulfilling prophecy. It’s really for anybody with a dream and a belief in magic, and a little extra time after school. - M. Scott
The Truer Story I would like to share with you today has to do with magic…and a little extra time after school. When I was in...
Photo Blasters and Boone
So catching up with Jill and all her Facebook Photo Blaster photos made me think about telling some good ole Boone stories. You see, Boone is where I went to college….I have some of the most amazing stories from living in that mountain place…
Right now I am just going to tell you about the Photo Blaster…it is this camera that Nickelodeon put out back in 1999 (I think?). It is...

“Estate Sale”, directed by David Lynch
I’ve gotten into going to estate sales. Each weekend Jason and I check the paper and look for interesting, local sales and make a morning of it. We find excitement and wonder in rummaging through the belongings of the...

The Buzz of the fleas 10.11.07 by Anthony McTones
So the buzz has been getting pretty big around this blog lately (Gerry). Kind of like the Flea Market guy in Alabama. But unlike him I am here to stay… but like him we can make this a dance, but unlike him I have pretty normal eyes and don’t own...
"Likes" and "Dislikes" by the 5th grade boys

True Story #1 (submitted by THE Andy Curtin) makes...
So, I really want more stories from you all…and they don’t have to be about me! They can be about you…either way, I felt I really hit a giant milestone with Andy’s story submission.
So, to get you on a storytelling roll, I will start you out with this little TRUER STORY…
When I was a little tiny kid (maybe 4 or 5?) my sister and I used to go up to north Mississippi...
True Story #1
(my first true story submission!!!! sent in by the ever so famous reasonstoquit, party on…)
True Story #1 :
- Laura Craft almost got us kicked out of sculpture park for using a Sol LeWitt sculpture as a jungle gym. After repeatedly trying to to explain to her that she probably shouldn’t be hanging from a beautiful work of art, a security guard told her the same thing and to...
This is NOT Saved by the Bell
I came home with all intentions of watching and reviewing Saved by the Bell porn (which I just discovered existed) for my latest blog entry, but apparently am no good at downloading porn (I feel happy about that), and came across this little gem instead.
So my question is who’s hotter, AC Slater or Zack Morris?
When today starts to feel too hard, I know I can...
Forgetting What You Came For
So I just spent a lovely afternoon walking and talking with BG and while doing the talking, something occurred to me as really funny… Background note, I’ve hurt my eye, I need I drops and have needed them for some time now.
So she asks, “LC, why don’t you just get yourself some eye drops from the drugstore and see if that helps?”
I said, “Well, BG, I did go to...
So I thought I would share with you just how...
shuttle bus
I have just a few things to say about today.. It started off with a G train shuttle bus to work. On my Bronx commute I use the music to set to the people’s movement on the train…for example, everyone was basically in the music video to Chicago’s “Hard to Say I’m Sorry” yesterday. Today, no music…there were real people acting in absurd ways. #1 was a...
on the long train ride home from the Bronx...
Making Lists...

Don’t Like: loud people/things listening when it’s boring bored lonely buttons (gross) chicken pushing when I have to explain directions twice (to...
Craft: By Laura Craft
So, I’ve decided what I want to do with this special venue for my words… Since Craft: By Laura Craft (my autobiography) is still in my mind works, I thought I’d just tell my stories here. Some past stories, some present, whatever.
So I’ll go ahead and start with a few days ago, a noteworthy mention that I got to see Mr. David Byrne do his “Music for the Venue”...
I’m starting it out with this…cause DB...
DID SOMEONE SAY DISNEY?
So Andy just talked me into starting a blog…so I did. I don’t really know how to do this. How do I do this? I guess this place will be one where I will share little things when I feel like it. So here goes….
