miss provo, a tad

i always have pangs of missing provo...the canyon, my friends, driving up southfork, tea at jonjon's, gross sushi, center street, the black hair and the angst, you know...all that good stuff and of course this. you know, provo really is the little music scene that could....and watching this makes me miss it a tad sad, well, my old inner indie kid at least

london in new york

if i didn't know any better i'd swear i was still in london right now....weather due to global warming or armageddon, the normally sweltering 90 degree heat and 90% humidity as common to new york augusts has cooled to an amazing 59 degrees-- and rain! yesterday I was walking in riverside park and had the distinct feeling of walking through hyde park. it was all rain-soaked and earthy and gorgeous. i'm loving it!

ps-- that was a Record Low for a New York August!

only new york...

the coming of the epic new york FASHION WEEK is upon us...and of course ny pets get in on the action with their own fashion week--yep, and this ain't no mall runway affair...check it

kelsey comes to visit

the newly wedded kelsey COSGROVE came to visit today briefly as she was with the cosgrove clan in jersey....we strolled through central park, had dessert at the famous parisian cafe lalo-- and if they're going for "authentic" with their service too they hit it spot on-- it took them aobut 2.5 hours to get through the slow service....for those of you who've ever dined at les deux maggot on saint germain you know what i mean. but the chocolate midnight cake was divine. it was great as usual to see one of my oldest friends, scott and i are planning a trip out to boston soon to visit them and see the new ICA museum. good times.







outside cafe lalo...

nautical night out

ali and i sported our best nautical duds tonight, and unfortunately, that was about the highlight of the night. we all know my utter disdain for times square, aka the seventh ring of Dante's hell, but after deciding to meet up with erin and ryan down there for Superbad i conceded--and then the time they had tickets for was sold out.
so ali, scott, and our new roomie becky got tix for a later showing. at this point i still had confidence in the evening although my good nature had wained somewhat after fighting the idle crowd of tourists blocking times square (tourists think new yorkers are mean because well, new yorkers ARE mean when they have to go to times square. nobody goes to times square, and going there just makes you mad inside. again, Dante's hell). but alas, Superbad, the long-awaited "comedy of a generation" that i had been so hoping to see was an utter bomb. perhaps the crudest thing i've ever seen. just ick. so now, to recap: nautical attire, hot subway, crowded & gross times square, crappy & gross movie. i guess new york isn't always peaches & cream. (but love it all the same!)

Thursday Night: LES for a Show & Cake

last night found us at the usual stomping ground....the lower east side to catch a comped show at mercury lounge and chow on some vegan cake at teany post show with friends meaghan & chris. ah, another perfect thursday eve.

"style is an important to your life as your look"

i forgot how awesome this video is.....this was one of my roomie erin's faves and we quoted it all the time...its awesomely hilarious in a serious 80's sort of way. love it. brenda dickson was on the young and the restless for "11 and a half" years...enjoy!
