a bug's life
Posted on Sunday, September 17, 2006
While hacking down some weeds and bushes outside my apartment I spotted both a grasshopper and a praying mantis. Both insects were keen on posing for the camera -- especially the hopper who began chowing down on some mimosa leaves while I snapped some photos. Check out my Flickr site for the photos.

jen goes green
Posted on Saturday, September 16, 2006
My good friend and fellow veg-head Jen announced the death of her infrequently updated blog, 'Make Up Your Mind' on Friday. On the same day, in a fast, phoenix-style rebirth, 'The Green Kitchen' opened it's cabinets for the first time. In her first post on the new site, Jen explains that "The Green Kitchen" refers not only to the subject matter of environmentally sound/sustainable/organic foods, but also to the fact that her kitchen is quite green. (It's true ... I've been there.) All of us here at Some Crazy Garbage (me, myself, and I) wish Jen luck and frequent postings at her new home. Check out The Green Kitchen.

a historic trip upstairs
Posted on Thursday, September 07, 2006
Last night I had the rare opportunity to go upstairs inside the historic Union Hotel (built in 1812) in Flemington, NJ. The hotel's most famous guest was Charles Lindberg during the famous Lindberg kidnapping trail (1935) across the street at the old Flemington Court House. Thanks to a friend's father's connections and my work at the Hunterdon County Democrat newspaper, I was able to venture above the first floor restaurant and bar to the old hotel area. The second and third floor housed dozens of small rooms equipped with a sink, mirror and lighting. Each floor had a common bathroom and some storage space. The fourth floor is an enormous attic/loft area that has been inhabited by birds and bats for decades. Not many people are allowed to go upstairs, and almost no one gets to see the attic ... check out my flickr photo set ... cuz odds are that it will be your only look upstairs.
