Something adorable

Come to my window.

On my way out of the parking garage a few weeks ago, I noticed Bartlet watching me from the window. I think he had something important he wanted to tell me.

Lights-n-things!! Come-n-see

M M Good!

I'm unsure what's being promoted.

Do these furry boots and this tail make me look like a woodland creature?

Boots. With the fur.

Yes.

From nothing, a street

A new Tucker Boulevard is taking shape!

Here's where a street and the Interco Plaza used to be.

Soon, we'll be an island.

Officially, we are an island.

Hello, kitty

Meow meow beautiful meow.

Styrofoam + concrete + dirt

The latest conditions on Tucker.

Grand staircase to nowhere

Long legs required.

The North Tucker Styrofoam Project has almost reached street level!

Even at 75% off ...

Dead, dead, dead.

... these dead Target roses are overpriced.

Not an island

How tropical.

The mannequins of Macy's

Nude or this awful frock?

Breezy.

Buttoned up.

Girl, please.

Reverse tight-roll.

Tight. White.

They're a horribly dressed lot.

So long, Interco Plaza

No longer a place to pee.

Hey Kendall what's up

Becarefully

Found in the snow.

Ice, ice, baby

KMOV field trip

The view across the studio from the news set

Do not use this sink.

This morning, I went along with my friend and colleague Evan for his appearance on "Great Day St. Louis" at KMOV. I was his celebrity handler, which means I shlepped his gear into the studio and made sure he powdered his face.

It had been years since I'd been in a TV studio, though, so I mostly just observed the process. Notable:

• KMOV's three studio camera are unmanned. Except for one handheld camera, they're remote controlled by a guy sitting at a desk.

• Everything on TV looks huge. In reality, the set is tiny. The "Great Day" set can't be more than 40 feet wide. Across the room is the news set; the robotic cameras roll between the two.

• Also, many set pieces are faux and/or covered in Scotch tape, apparently not visible on TV.

• Dull colors photograph brilliantly, and dim light becomes bright light. It's magic, I tell you.

• The kitchen is fully functional except for the sink. Do not use the sink. No!

• I had an overwhelming urge to clean the stainless steel and dust the cabinets.

A very Bravo birthday

Thanks, @BravoAndy!

My super-awesome birthday gift from Gail Pennington and Andy Cohen.

I am a sentimental man

Cake!

My nearest and dearest organized a completely amazing 30th birthday surprise party for me last night. Yes, I was surprised.

The cake was my favorite part. On it was an enlargement of the business card (Dad's) that Mom wrote my name, weight and such on for my grandma when I was born. Grandma had kept it in her wallet all these years and gave it to me a few weeks ago.

It was a fantastic birthday. Thanks to all who made it so special!

Found: doughnuts

Not hot.
