i typed this with 6 fingers

so today at work, i thought i would use my bare hands to take my hot plate out of the toaster oven. however, that turned out to be a very bad idea. both of my thumbs and index fingers are blistered. and all day long i just wanted to cry. i ran to the post office for work with a bag of ice in my hands. the bag was dripping on my clothes and the look on my face must have been so pained that people even stopped to ask me what was wrong with me. and i have a feeling that there isn't much that shocks a new yorker.

on my way home on the subway i kept trying to take a picture of my fingers that would be as grotesque as they feel. i was unsuccessful. so just imagine something awful. pity will be appreciated.

not cool. hott

this did make me laugh out loud though
but i might just get in trouble for posting this, so watch it before i'm forced to take it down.

my family is awesome.

monday night at ground zero

men


please buy this. 

in absinthe verte
but at 225 dollars for 1.7 fl oz i'd understand if you don't

living for the weekend

it's ok to be jealous






Papaya King

this is apparently a New York classic for cheap eats
i order a hot dog, curly fries, and papaya juice
but ... j dawgs will always have my heart when it comes to hot dogs though
and i have had better cheap eats in the city

i think next time i'll pass

Two Little Red Hens

my roommate jess is a bakery connoisseur and this was one of her recommendations
i got a brooklyn blackout cupcake and it was amazing
the frosting was amazing and the cupcake was filled with a chocolate pudding filling
blackout indeed, well in a good way

i'd come back again

Alexander Mcqueen Exhibit at the Metropolitian Museum of Art

when i read about this, it immediately went on my new york must see list
this man was incredible and the exhibit was insprising
i will be going back though when the crowds die down and im not pushed through
and um ticket prices are only donation based, meaning i paid one dollar to get in

it a must

FAO Schwarz

playing around on the piano is one of those new york things that you have to do
nick and i waited in line with the children and giddily danced around on the keys
we also enjoyed the barbie fashion show and barbie foosball table

best toy store i've ever been in

Berdorf Goodman

berdorf goodman is one of new york's very high end department stores
we went in to browse and throughly enjoyed the experience
zack and nick got a cologne lesson as we all sampled kilian's new line
the absinthe vert scent was by far the best, got me swooning, very sexy

if i had a million dollars...

Jing Fung

after walking around i had two very hungry boys we wanted to try something new and not pay too much
the wait at cafe habana was too much for zack to bear so we ventured down to chinatown
jing fung proved to be the perfect solution for our empty stomachs
we ordered 9 different selections of dim sum and shared them all
affordable and yummy
the only one that we figured we prolli should have passed on was the stuffed eggplant ... way to go nick

yumm and yes we are going back

The Red Door

my friend cassie from work took us over to see a band play on saturday night
the venue was great
when the band finished up a dj came on and we danced until we were dripping with sweat
this was zack's favorite experience thus far in new york

i felt like a cool kid in here

mcqueen


this was amazing in person

"I spent a long time learning how to construct clothes, which is important to do before you can deconstruct them.”
not lightening mcqueen. alexander mcqueen. in case you were confused

check it
