How To Make a Christmas Tree with Chalkboard Paint
This past week at the place where I do yoga each morning, this great big Christmas tree had sprung up on the wall. Painted quickly and neatly with taped off edges and black chalkboard paint, I love how vivid and charming it is. After this, the tree got filled in with chalk Christmas decorations for the holiday party that night. Click below for more pics and the Giant Chalkboard Menorah as well.

Parklets: Haight-Ashbury's New Parklet, Ready for That Christmas Guinness

Upper Haight's first parklet is coming along. A project of the popular and adjacent Irish sports bar Martin Macks, it's expected to be open for business on Friday, December 23, with more extensive landscaping planned for installation in early 2012. The bricks are for a seating area- not a BBQ- and came from a recent seismic chimney-replacement project at a nearby c.1880's house. City-wide, all parklets will get reviewed after six months and no installation is permanent, but change is in the air. This past Spring, Haight Ashbury merchants banded together in reaction to some bad press.
While Martin Macks' parklet is the first project to wend its way through the bureaucracy, the group is working on improving Haight Street's landscaping and planning street closures for Summer, 2012. Similar to Golden Gate Park's Healthy Sundays but unlike the usual street fairs, with more emphasis on the pedestrian experience and less on the usual itinerant patchouli merchants/satay stands. As for the annual Haight Street Fair, you can look forward to a blowout 50th anniversary in 2017.

Random fact: in London, 976,000 Christmas trees will be thrown away this year. In better news, the discarded holiday plants might now have a second go-at-it, thanks to an initiative that turns them into $621 stools.

Have a nomination for a jaw-dropping listing that would make a mighty fine House of the Day? Get thee to the tipline and send us your suggestions. We'd love to see what you've got.
Location: Cohasset, Mass.
Price: $55,000,000
The Skinny: For the sky-high price of $55M, this seaside New England estate had better be hiding some stunning features behind that ivy-covered facade, right? Well rest assured it's got the goods, with highlights including a basement billiards room and pub, master bedroom balcony with hot tub, an expansive roof deck with a second hot tub and sea views, a tennis court, and a deep-water dock. All of this is spread over some 24,000 square feet on almost 9.5 acres. Quite a haul, but we're talking about $55M here! Oh, wait, we forgot to mention a few things, like the 55-room Cohasset Harbor Inn, two waterfront restaurants, and a commercial marina, all included in the sale. Ah, that's more like it. So, who's ready to become the Donald Trump of a sleepy New England village?

The music is from the Warriors.
See.
If you have been under the covers avoiding the storm, just go to this link below and you will find out the clusterf**k this city is experiencing in the aftermath of the storm.
On personal note, I almost got into a physical alteration with a fat bald douchebag who hasn't seen his penis since he was born.
The subway was packed, so there was no way physical contact could be avoided, as I walked on he started pushing me, I pushed back and resulted in a verbal fracas where I owned him. It wasn't a real challenge since the guy was a candidate for gastric bypass surgery.
I smiled to myself when I saw the massive crowd of people waiting on the platform at my stop while the obese douchebag was still on the train.
Of course, douchebags are everywhere.
The answer to all of this are the layoffs.
The weakness of the infrastructure will be further revealed as more acts of god occur.
As this perception grows, a "Turk 182" feel of us against them is going to grow.
Can't wait for 2011.

The parade of cheesy, corny, tired, and downright bad Christmas movies that occupy the airwaves during the holiday season can be mentally exhausting. So in the hopes of saving you the trouble, we've culled these stills from some lesser-known films that feature some inspiringly tasteful—or at least ever-compelling and wildly extravagant—holiday decorations. The photogallery above depicts the gamut, but yes, of course we included the gold standard of holiday-decorating blunders, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Who doesn't love an '80s Chevy Chase?
