‘Tis the season to relax and possibly hermit a little. But we also enjoy getting out of the house sometimes. Hopefully you’ll find inspiration in some of these 10 simple suggestions.

Such a busy week here at the Loaf. I mean, really. Things have been hectic. So we’re just now getting to the recap of our first-ever event, Meatloafing on Ice, which was a tremendous success. Great weather, good friends, and laughter. Sorry for this somewhat lame recap, but thanks everyone for showing up. Even Mike Earls made an appearance!

• The Brooklyn Kitchen First Birthday Party & Bodega Challenge is TONIGHT!
• Especially relevant to me: Curing Insomnia Without the Pills [nytimes]
• Adrian Grenier: Hot or Not?* The Entourage cast held a book signing yesterday and there were like 20 people standing in (on) line, as compared to more like 200 for The Sopranos book signing. I love the show but am simply having difficulty categorizing him as hot or not. Thoughts?

*As Adrian Grenier (the actual person), not as Vincent Chase (who is obviously hot)

For the sixth year in a row, we were there, daring to dream. The 2007 New York City Marathon always inspires us. This year we felt a certain kinship to the French runners, as shown below. Vive la France!

The money shot: the fastest dudes. (Don’t be offended by the commentary, pls.)

PLUS: More videos! Vive la France!

A chilly fall forecast. Get cozy!

Few Showers / Wind
High 50° F
Precip: 40%

Windy. A few showers from time to time. High near 50F. Winds N at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of rain 40%. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.

I think it might be a perfect day to go see American Gangster, which was partially filmed in my old ‘hood in South Williamsburg. I walked through the set a few times and once had meaningful eye contact with some guy, then seconds later realised it was Russell Crowe. But it was too late for me to go back. Now after revisiting his oeuvre, I understand why so many women wanted to hit it from 1998–present.

Lastly, Meatloafing on Ice was a tremendous success. Read on for a video preview of the event. Complete coverage tomorrow Monday or Tuesday!
