1. This is my third holiday season in NYC, and you know what? It’s the first where I didn’t feel depressed. I attribute this to staying very busy, leaving little time to feel low. And also not visiting that big-ass Christmas tree. That must have helped.

10. Maine was very low-key. It was kind of like Boston, but cooler, smaller, and more quirky. The vacation rental worked out well, but I didn’t get to hang out near a lighthouse or feed a seal. I did, however, learn firsthand that a lobster’s liver is green.

10. Today I learned that real mozzarella comes from buffalo’s milk.

9. I walk through the gorgeous Grand Central Terminal main concourse every work day and make a mental note to appreciate it.

1. Funny. I feel like a very suspicious person, but I’m actually a goody two-shoes. Every time I walk past those sensors when I leave a store, I think to myself, “Whew! It’s a good thing I’m not trying to shoplift anything… Or am I?

10. I knew it was going to be a good day when I could overhear the music blaring from the headphones of an urban youth next to me on the subway bench, and realized it was Todd Rundgren’s “Hello, It’s Me.” I love that song.

1. The critics say the only original thing about Disturbia is its name, but I venture to say that this movie doesn’t need to be original or twisty to be entertaining. Hundreds of moviegoers aren’t wrong this time. I got free sneak preview tickets last Thursday and dragged Cade for some spooky movie handholding action. The teen characters definitely fit types, but I think Shia LaBeouf is a great actor. I also jumped so much during one scene that I pulled an abdominal muscle.

10. I think I have a ringworm on my back from one of the oozing, pus-filled Rocawear-sporting germs I work with. I’ve named it Raheem.
