In all honesty I don't think I ask for much...
or perhaps I do and just don’t notice it. But either way, all I can say is, this shit right here, would make me endlessly happy.
Someone just got her first pair of fancy shmancy...

Right now and a story...
Right now…
This is what my desk looks like (I’ve never been a particularly neat person, or at least, not a neat all the time person) I will most likely straighten up before I leave.
This is my pill box…
This is what is inside of my pill box…
And now a little about myself…
i’ve never been good at taking pills. never. i seem to have no problem inhaling...

Unrelated: I used to make fun on my dear friend for her inability to stop eating certain things once she started. She has been known to throw mostly eaten boxes of cookies in the trash to only go back minutes later and finish it. Up until recently i couldn’t understand her compulsion. but now, today, only minutes ago, i finally get it. there are certain foods that are just too good to walk...
This is what thanksgiving looks like. In order.
Shortly after the last photo was taken, i “rested my eyes” for oh idk 3 hrs(!) while everyone else watched death becomes her— only to wake up, walk back upstairs, and sleep for another 9. You thought the photo was taken mid blink didnt you. nope it wasn’t. at that point i didnt have the strength to keep my eyes open anymore.
I went dancing at a sophisticated meeting place
Cornel West to teach at UTSNYC!!!
In unrelated news, how weird does wolf look?!

Excuse me while i loose my mind...
So yesterday my coworker offered to give me a ride partially home in an attempt to spare me the dreadfully long wait for the bus in Red Hook while it was down poring. When she dropped me off I initially planned on taking the dollar van home but then decided to take the bus as I was passed by but not one but two dollar vans while waiting on flatbush. Seeing a bus in the distance I ran over to the...

To hell with summer bodies
Biked to work today for the first time in about a month and a half. not easy.
Also, last night i did one of the most adult(?) things i’ve ever done. I decided to put aside a serious want for practical reasons. As most of you know, i’m not thrilled with where I live—last summer we had to scramble to find a place under less than desirable circumstances, and this is where we...

Reality
I’ve been talking with a lot of people recently about reality. now i am a firm believer that reality is what you make it. if you believe the tree fell in the woods and made a sound, then the tree fell in the woods and made a sound—you don’t have to be there to hear it. furthermore, i will whole heartidly defend that reality is subjective. no two people will ever experience the...
There are a number of things I'd like to say
1) If you’ve ever met me, lets say more than three times, i’ve probably told you the story about how as a child i ate an entire costco size bottle of vitamin C and as a result have only gotten sick a handful of times in my life. well, fuck that bottle, becausenow i am sick and miserable. until i get better, my diet will be supplemented by raw garlic, lemon/ginger/honey tea, and quantum...

New York City is pretty large,
but not a day goes by when I’m out and about (as in not just going to work and back home), that I don’t randomly see at least one person I know. Yesterday I ran into the person that adopted my cat bruiser (great cat! which means a lot coming from me since I don’t really like cats). do you remember him?! this is what he looked like:
I didn’t say hi, i rarely ever...
Oh the sweet smell of trash
I love where I work, trust me I do. but I cannot get over the unbeleivibly over powering smell of hot summer garbage at 8:50 in the morning (approximately the time I pass this place every day). A new bike route is in order. Truthfully I feel like the smell is stuck on me, but I really don’t know how I would go about asking anyone to confirm or deny.
The thing about the summer solstice...
is that from this day on, the days just get shorter.
It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe It don’t matter, anyhow An’ it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe If you don’t know by now When your rooster crows at the break of dawn Look out your window and I’ll be gone You’re the reason I’m trav’lin’ on Don’t think twice, it’s all right
It ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe That light I never knowed An’ it ain’t no use in turnin’ on...
This is as good a time as any to recap some stuff...
This isn’t actually that much of a recap, as it is more of an announcement. On Monday June 6th, 2011 I will be starting a new job. That is right, this is my third job this year. Yes I know that it sounds like a lot, trust me it wasn’t my intention. Either way, as I said, I will be starting a new job on June 6th. Am I excited you ask? Well yes I am, I’m always excited to start...

Things I learned and remembered this memorial...
1) The beach will always be my favorite place to spend a day 2) Few things are better than an impromptu bbq 3) Always best to sit inside during a Circle Line cruise, three hours around the isle of Manhattan in the hot summer sun makes for uncomfortable shoulders. 4) Now this is the craziest thing of all—apparently when I was a child I was diagnosed with dyslexia. I’ve suspected it for...

I had a dream last night
that a pirate captured me and dragged me into the water with him, and then when we got deep enough the pirate turned into a plesiosaur and all of his captives (one of which was carl from Cheers) became part of his body, our head lined his chest vertically.
Have you guys seen Downton Abbey yet?!
You can watch instantly on netflix.
So yesterday i was in a funk
in fact i’ve been in a funk for the past couple of weeks. so, while riding home on the train yesterday i made a conscious effort to do something about it. i went to the beach.

So lets talk about yoga and other things
why is it in yoga class i always look like a flailing fish? my face gets contorted, more often than not i realize my tongue is sticking out, sweat always finds its way into my eyes which means that i’m always squinting (i squint also because my glasses get fogged up so i cant wear them during class), and for the most part I look like i’m in distress.
with all of that said though,...
