here's me out back at bull mccabe's
and here's one of kurt out front.
here's me in front of the love shortly after the dave chapelle sighting!
this is me sitting in union square.
it was a weekday, so much fewer people were there.
we did a lot of this.
i sure wish madison had a decent mass-transit system. of course, we'd have to be built on granite to have one of new york's stature.
and one more of me, sitting in strawberry fields.
i was telling colin the other day that, previously i didn't see the point of having an ipod photo, but now would love to be able to see the album artwork while scanning through my music. sorting by artist isn't conducive since i have many compilations and collections of works by various djs.
on a completely random note, kurt and i went grocery shopping for the first time in almost 3 weeks. we spent $175; our record.
really aren't the best way to enjoy music. unfortunately, there's no way to connect my ipod directly to my stereo because there's no aux-in on the back of my factory stereo. :,(
the flight was 20 minutes /early/. we stayed with kathy in bed-stuy (bedford-stuyvesant);
a neighborhood filled with brownstones. here's a view of jefferson st. out the front window.
on our way to the subway stop, we came across a black mary.
we found a neat little pub on st. mark's called bull mcabe's. they had the cheapest drinks in new york. here's kurt enjoying a beverage.
on one of the many subway rides, we got off the train right in front of a pillar that someone had written on, "i'm tired of rumors started i'm sick of being followed by ferrets". so i had to take a picture.
here's a shot of the empire state building from the east side of union square.
and here's some random church that i found interesting.
we were told to locate mcsorley's, the oldest bar in new york. it took a while, and we had to get directions like three times, but we finally found it. unfortunately, they only serve beer, so we didn't stay.
here are two other random things; a wavy building, and a seal. i'll have more after kurt gets the roll developed.
we leave today. :( kathy (kurt's sis) is dropping us off at laguardia around 4:30 and we head out of the big windy apple at 6:35p. we'll be in the central time zone around 7:30 and on our way back to madison where we can get a drink that doesn't cost $7.00. tons of pics when we get back!
you have no idea how much i've walked in the last two days. we hung out around washington square, 8th st, and st mark's saturday and then had dinner at a mexican place in red hook, then yesterday we went to breakfast in park slope and then headed back downtown with our eyes on getting kurt some boots. we also went to union square. i was quite impressed with the number of people who take advantage of the parks here, as opposed to madison. picture the capital lawn and library filled (and i don't just mean farmer's market traffic) with people every day. anyhow, today we're going to soho and chinatown to find some mooshu, and me a shirt to wear to fancy dinner tomorrow for my bday.
i'm blogging from new york.
this is why surveys aren't necessarily helpful. "Most Americans believe bloggers should not be allowed to publish sensitive personal information about individuals, according to a new survey." Only 2,500 people were surveyed and more than 1/3rd of them had never heard of a blog before. *shakes head*

i just found this piece in a bit of files that didn't make it into my design portfolio (it's a hangtag). the text says, "there's no story to tell, no secret clue; just great jeans to make you feel cool." omg awesome. looky
(for some reason the img tag is missing)
paying closer attention to widely known blogs (i never even got to read the blog of that girl who turned out to be a guy faking it--and i can't even remember "her" name), i feel like i need a niche to blog about so i'm not just taking up space. though, this is the wrong time of year to start a project like that since i hope to be outside for most of the spring/summer.
i found my new webhost. (mt) Media Temple - Web Hosting Services
i know the blogosphere doesn't need to be littered with people linking to sites featured on hi-traffic blogs, but this is the epitome of hilarity:
THIS IS FUN TO MAKE A BLOG ON THE COMPUTER WEBSITE

thanks to google maps (beta) , i was able to look up my childhood address.
unfortunately, the satellite image is so recent that my house isn't there anymore. it flooded almost 5 years ago and they had to take it away and filled in the hole that was our basement. check it out 
.
thankfully the house i currently live in is still there: see
what a great idea! i should have come up with it. :/
Eating in Madison A to Z
though, i'm too much of a food snob for most restaurants.
t minus 15 days. in in 11 days, we'll be landing at la guardia right about now. i'm extremely excited. i bought a new pair of
there is something to be said for too much variation. it was all together too difficult to weed through so many choices.
knitting. here are some armwarmers and a hat that i need to deliver.
kurt and i just watched the grudge. kurt was spooked by it but i didn't think it was too bad.
