Wow! I filed on February 2nd and now I'm slated to receive my refund on February 9th. Timed the cycle just right. NYS is always a few weeks behind.



Watched The Wild Bunch on TCM on-demand. My favorite line:

Pike Bishop: We're not gonna get rid of anybody! We're gonna stick together, just like it used to be! When you side with a man, you stay with him! And if you can't do that, you're like some animal, you're finished! *We're* finished! All of us!

Pike Bishop: I'd like to make one good score and back off...
Dutch Engstrom: Back off to what? 

Pike Bishop: We're not gonna get rid of anybody! We're gonna stick together, just like it used to be! When you side with a man, you stay with him! And if you can't do that, you're like some animal, you're finished! *We're* finished! All of us!

Vote early and often.



Hugh Laurie's album is Bluesy and good.



I like his take on St. James Infirmary.



Of Course, Louis Armstrong said it best.



The NYT praises The Wild Bunch.



Queens Uncorked gave out $5 off cards for Sweetleaf in LIC.



Really nice place, almost like having breakfast in someone's Brownstone.



Bust in the sun.



Then it was to Queens Natural Meats with $20 in gift cards. I researched the place and if you go by Yelp the place is incredibly overpriced. Not so, nice friendly staff and quite reasonable. Will return.



Picked up Sriracha Chili Sauce.

Map of NYC AYCD (All You Can Drink) Brunches or "Drunches."



One of The Outer Limits best: "The Zanti Misfits."



Just nominated for the National Book Award. On the list of things to read.



Watching the Giants with Brooklyn Brewery's "The Companion" makes me think of The Wild Bunch :

Pike Bishop: We're not gonna get rid of anybody! We're gonna stick together, just like it used to be! When you side with a man, you stay with him! And if you can't do that, you're like some animal, you're finished! *We're* finished! All of us!
