As if I weren’t already addicted to Four Square enough…I’m now the mayor of New Pizza Town.

Fabulous find for a free, fun evening on the UWS:

“ Absolutely. And mural painting and graffiti are art. There are popular aspects of all the arts that I think shouldn’t be ignored.

Since yesterday at 5pm, this happened.

This is why I never buy Goldfish crackers (especially Pizza flavored, because they are SO DELICIOUS).

SIGG finally sent me a gift certificate so I could replace my two BPA bottles, and apparently they want me to get 1250 bottles!! Luckily I’m honest and only purchased the two I was owed.

They must be in pretty deep with all of this.

UPDATE: I’m not the only one. If we’re all on the same coupon, this also shows that they’ve replaced about $18,000 worth of bottles since 10/22.

ANOTHER UPDATE: I mentioned this to SIGG, and they responded:

Hi Adrienne,
Thank you for being honest. We know there is a glitch, which is why every order is put on hold before it is released to double check the amount people have ordered matches their credit. Enjoy your SIGG!

So, they’re on it, apparently. Looking forward to receiving two new bottles…

“

In September, they had dinner at a local brewery with a couple they met through Twitter. Mr. Soveran was fascinated to learn that the husband also works on the Web and is the son of a pastor, as is he.

After dinner, the two couples went to the Soverans’ house, where they made a bonfire in the backyard and toasted marshmallows. “We had an awesome night,” says Mr. Soveran.

So what’s the problem? Mr. Soveran didn’t go in for the hug. He wonders if that’s why there hasn’t been a follow-up date. “There was a millisecond where I could have made the move,” he says. “Maybe as the host I should have initiated it.”

When Four Play the Dating Game (WSJ)

Since retiring from normal dating, my dating has come in the form of meeting new girl friends and new couples lately. Funnily, many of the same rules apply, but at least with couples, you have a partner in crime who can keep you from texting too soon!

“ Goggle [sic] and their new friends are now going to drive “music related search” towards major label owned My Space, Gracenote and LaLa services, rather than to the artist sites directly. In this regard they are directly at odds with recent trends in music, such as labels dumping artists left and right, artists moving away from major label distribution channels towards direct to fan models, and the growing power of online marketing strategies and social media. So much for organic search and link relevance.

“ As the struggling restaurant industry can attest, more consumers are eating at home. But that doesn’t mean they are making things from scratch. More people are microwaving frozen pizza or bringing home fast food. Approximately 20% of all meals prepared in our homes from 1990 to 2007 involved the use of a microwave…but in 2008, microwave usage rose to 30%

Somehow, this surprises me. I assumed that more people cooking at home meant more people actually COOKING at home.
