We went to Chumley's last night with Ben, Andy and Jem, a prohibition bar set back from Bedford Street near the junction with Grove Street, in the area of New York that really confuses me with its street layout - Greenwich. Quite a cool place, surprisingly busy given the obscure entrance. Spotted James Lipton leaving shortly after our arrival, famed for the horribly sycophantic, if quite amusing, Inside the Actors Studio. The other notable spot of the night, apart from Andy's earlier alleged sighting of Maria Carey, was the corner of Bedford Street and Grove Street, purportedly the corner on which the Friends' apartments are situated.
Rob kindly upgraded me to Plog 1.0 last night. One small bug with images (thanks to Mr. Johnston for the spot) has been resolved by some nifty footwork by the boy Rainton. The delivery side sees few changes, as far as I can tell, but the content management interface is a lot slicker - take my word for it. Still a shame that the typeface that appears in the rich text editor into which I'm currently typing is Times New Roman, possibly the worst web-based font known to man - if they outlawed it tomorrow, I wouldn't blink! Apart from a more seamless user interface, it allows me to assign posts to more than one category, which is nice.
There was a slight difference of opinion (as Tarby would've said in Winner Takes All) the other day, with respect to the spelling of skeptical (sp.). My mum was adamant that it was sceptical. While I don't disagree, I'm of the view that it's an either/or. Not sure whether there is an American/English slant on this one?
