    I’m super busy, so my Sundays generally consist of a simultaneous bottomless mimosa brunch/aggressive Soul Cycle class with my grrrlz for maximum efficiency.

      Soul Cycle is so yesterday. For a workout that really tones your legs and arms, try chasing down a derelict and beating him to death with a crowbar. It’ll be like you never had those eggs Benedict at brunch.

    Seems like the only thing New Yorkers like doing more than talking about themselves in New York, is reading other New Yorkers talk about themselves in New York on Sunday.

      Don’t forget the former New Yorkers who are reading these things and laughing out loud in an admixture of embarrassment and pride at not living there anymore.

      It’s the new age “Keeping up with the Jones’s”. Everyone has to know what the “cool people” are doing. Have to go to this pathetic brunch spot or that one. Hoping they’ll be caught in some photo op.

      It reminds me of when living in Cincinnati, the Enquirer newspaper had a more “hip” section that was independently run, where on the website you would find photo spreads of people at any given social event from the past week. It was kind of embarrassing. They touched up the photos somewhat, put them in a good light.

      I feel like, while some people may enjoy that (and I have no idea why), it can’t be good for many others.

    2. 3 sets of Super Squats

    3. Meusli bowl made with Fage(TM) Greek yogurt

    4. 6 sets of Super Squats

    5 . Standing shoulder presses, lat pulldowns, bench press, triceps pulldowns, more Super Squats

    6. Full-body scrub and facial mask made with Fage(TM) Greek yogurt

    7. Read Sunday Times Style Section

      Tell me, are "Super Squats" done over a toilet? If not, then I am clueless indeed.

    Well, if they’re sincere about wanting something different, I humbly offer them a glimpse into my world:

    Make something to eat, coffee (less than one damn cup. What the hell, man? I can’t even enjoy coffee anymore?), watch Cartoon Network, then gaming once the cobwebs are gone. Currently on the first few stages of Metal Gear Solid V, now that the Commonwealth has been saved.

    You cannot possibly celebrate the mundane anonymity of the irrelevant commoner more than that, I assure you.

    I usually sleep in and masturbate, hopefully with a new ‘friend’. Then we have some cereal. How’s that for ‘twin pillars’? Think NYT might be interested?

      Everyone in the E. Village is a ‘somebody’. I’ll find an Air BnB rental near NUBLU and be instantly eligible.

    Why, in my day “Sunday Routine” was church, an afternoon drive and an early multi-course dinner served with applesauce and a warm glass of buttermilk like the good Lord intended, I’ll tell you what.

    And, the drive wasn’t really a drive; the family had to push the car up the hill coming and going, but boy was the ride down ever so fun. Bully, even. And nickels? Well, nickels had bees on ‘em, and we’d say ‘give me five bees for a quarter.’

    Wait, what?

    Don’t be coy. It’s clear that the editors’ and reporters’ brunch friends randomly selected subjects are losing the will to live in the face of the coming revolution of right-wing peasants. They may have money, but not “fly off to your flat in Monte Carlo” money.

    I look forward to the Style section running pieces on the most tasteful means by which one can hang oneself (“Ms. Jones, a Harvard alumna and assistant editor at Vogue, used a brass-hued and tasseled pull cord from Belle Epoque drapes purchased at ABC Carpet.”).

      As an out-of-towner, I have to say I love ABC Carpet and Home. If you’re gonna punch out early, might as well do so with style. The collapse of Western Civilization never looked so good!

      Actually, “Do you even lift” was a suitable reply to my post, too, and indeed would make the perfect head for That Nolan Boy’s column.

    SNL cast member Vanessa Bayer, the first person in recent memory who neither goes to brunch nor exercises on Sunday.

    I knew I liked her, and know I know the why. Gawker is useful for something. :)

    Vanessa Bayer, the 34-year-old comedian and actress, practices Transcendental Meditation at her home in the West Village.

    I take it all back.

      I don’t know. That photo of her doing “transcendental meditation” looked more like she was taking a little nap on her couch.

    Meh.

    Going to brunch and/or the gym sounds like a better Sunday routine than reading Sunday Routine and comparing it to the previous Sunday Routine.
