New York City is incredible and one of the most amazing things is the amount of food one can find on the street. And I mean right down there on the sidewalk. It is for this reason, that I’m happy to present:

Archie’s Top Five Favorite Street Foods

1. Pork Spare Rib: Yep, actual pork spare ribs thrown on the ground. Yum!
2. Chicken Wing: Same deal as above, but spicy!
3. Pizza Crust: Who doesn’t love thin crust NYC pizza?
4. Fruit: Apple core, banana peel or orange rind, Archie loves ’em!
5. Baguette: He is French after all.

Why in the hell do humans find the need to anthropomorphize animals? More specifically, why did they put me in this stupid costume?

Naturally, I took it out on them by being a right bastard all day yesterday and crapping on the floor this morning. Take that, beeyotch! I’m the alpha dog now!

–Archie

Everyone knows the stereotype (or reality) of a woman walking past a construction site and getting jeers, catcalls and whistles from the workers.

I’m starting to see a new weird thing happening at constructions sites.

Everytime Archie and I walk past one, the largest, dirtiest, sweatiest worker starts making kissy noises at Archie. And yes, I’m sure it’s directed at Archie.

It’s kind of a cross between baby talk and a “come here” call.

In his infinite wisdom, Archie completely ignores these approaches and focus on finding a nice spot to pee. He’s nothing if not aloof.

I, on the other hand, am slightly disturbed for various reasons.

Sure he’s cute, but what would account for this level of bizarre behavior? Does Archie tap into some underground well of softness that permeates the fat construction worker belly?

More research to follow.

Damn human walked me 40 blocks on Saturday and then another 40 blocks on Sunday. What the hell does he think I am? A freaking greyhound?

It’s just me and Archie (the dog), creating stuff, working for the man and doing good deeds.

More to come as the days go by — mostly about art, design, and whatever Archie feels like posting about. His typing is getting a lot better. Too bad his attitude isn’t.
