This morning at the office, I realized for the first time the beautiful view of the city.

Two days ago, the holy Grail was revealed in the form of a small pocket book. Especially fragile, the book is usually kept under lock and key. At the request of The New York Times, however, the historical society took it out for a spin this month so readers could experience one of the more colorful and detailed guides ever produced on the ins and outs of New York City’s brothels.

One of the entries, the Times reports, reads, “’an hour cannot be spent more pleasantly’ than at Harry Hill’s place on 25 East Houston Street.” Challenge accepted. I don’t know about you guys, but I’ll be printing the 32 page book and reading it to my future kids.

Read the Grail here.

We’ll be in Boston for the weekend.

Some crazy shit happened today too, which left us slightly more inspired.

In the meantime, browse The Calm Part 2.

For those that are not aware of the fuckery I’ve been indulging in on my Twitpic account (it’s scum really) you can now witness it firsthand on NSF56K. It’s a tumblr that I launched last night.

When we started The Calm roughly 3 months ago, I subscribed to as many blogs and tumblrs in arms reach to try to find the best content to post on here. Since then, I’ve gone through maybe 1200 items a day, but nothing deemed “Calm-worthy” enough.

I mean let’s face it; you wouldn’t want me to start posting a picture of a shoe, a sweater or a couch followed by a whole paragraph describing it in excruciating minutiae.

But what I did find though were pictures. Lots of them. Peep game: Not Suitable For 56k Modem.

Night before Valentine’s day, for all you lonely fools go out and get your beaks wet.

This video is dope, reminds me of Blade Runner.

This is the song that Drake sampled on Come Winter it’s called “Feel Like making Love” by Roberta Flack… classic shit right here.

I can’t take this winter anymore

Similar to the Son of Jor-El post, I found some more art work involving some of my childhood heros. This one is for you Slum.
