Tom Selleck Bday Cake

1st of all, happy co-birthday to S. Jurist, proud mother of the best looking Frenchie this side of the Atlantic.

2nd of all, this cake feels representative of my life, and pays tribute to the Tom Selleck Stashio Bashio, which will be coming again this year in March.

I’m on a hot streak right now- I lost my wallet last night at Pinball Petes during a latenight Air Hockey challenge, and I was moments away from cancelling all of my credit cards, but I went back a few hours ago and discovered the little guy under the Xtreme Rafting machine.  I got really stoked on not having to go through the hassle of a lost wallet, and subsequently spent the next 2 hours playing Canadian Big Buck Hunter by myself… reminiscent of gaming and drinking brews at the shithole McSorleys (actually named Sophies) in the East Village.

Anyways, I’m keeping this short so I can get to entertaining Scurvvvyyyy Dayyyyy and all of those coming in from out of town tonight.

This also serves as an abstract dedication to The Muse’s wisdom, which is unbounded and infinite.

That said, this is the inaugural post of the weekly installment, The Muse.

“I think you’re the only person I could truly say ‘I don’t know what he’s up to, but I don’t like it’ about.” – The Muse
