The city has enough to keep anyone busy but I still need to feed my lifelong media addiction… so this is how I do it! Magazine subscriptions One of the great things about living here is cheap magazine subscriptions… it is not healthy for a magazine addict like me at all. My current subscriptions are…

Only in America…
Whilst I was listening to the radio this morning I heard that one news headline was “E-Coli Warning…” Then the story starts… “If you eat raw cookie dough then be aware of an E-Coli warning with regards to Nestle Toll House cookie dough…” I determined right there and then that there would be no other…
My first ever chat with the NYPD
At the moment I have been busy moving my stuff over to Bill’s – yep now, I’ll be officially in Manhattan! 🙂 🙂 Last Saturday it was about 6.30pm and we had three of my cases full of stuff (being in a furnished place meant I don’t really have much more than what I came…
Various catch ups
While mum and dad visiting was HUGE (and there are some great blog posts coming up about that…!) another thing that has been great is there has been some other visits from people back in Oz to New York! Leigh, one of my pals from my days of Parliament and fellow USA devotee, visited New…
Let’s start at the very beginning

Specimen 1 – Hipster type using a laptop IN the cinema. Photographic proof? Below.
Tonight…
We are off to see This American Life – Live! It is a radio show on NPR – except tonight they are broadcasting live to cinemas in HD around the country! Should be a good night and a nice lead in to what is going to be a busy weekend. Also – look what went…
ANZAC Day
As ANZAC Day draws near… it was time to bake some Anzac Biscuits. Yum! Of course, it is a bit more difficult as one must source golden syrup and the oats here seem ‘bigger’ but they turned out nice and chewy.. even though they aren’t that flat! Here they are before baking – And here…
