The Sky Falls

New York Times Building. I walk by it to get to my gym each day.

Wednesday, it was a crime scene.

A large section of sidewalk blocked off because of the ice falling from the building. I don't know anything about architecture, but is there no way to account for this in the design of a building? It's New York City: it's going to snow. Falling ice is something that happens when you're dealing with tall buildings. It just seems that blocking off a large section of the sidewalk with crime scene tape every time there's a slight warm-up after a snowstorm... is inconvenient.

(Of course, the crime scene tape just blocked off the area around the NYT building—you could freely take your chances walking down the rest of the sidewalk where ice was hurtling down.)

Thursday night, Howard Stern and Naughty By Nature were on Letterman. I checked a calendar to make sure I hadn't accidentally traveled back in time.

It was a great show. The real kick-in-the-pants was that Howard Stern actually talked about how he's been practicing Transcendental Meditation since he was 18! I cannot escape this meditation thing...
