Watashi wa Akio desu.

He's so big now compared to when we first got him over a year ago.






This is like a MySpace shot for dogs.

Labor day weekend.

Minus a few bumps in the road, this weekend was a pretty nice weekend to have before I return to my imminent death-by-boredom/irritation/anxxiety thanks to the academic institution I currently am attending a scheduled routine of classes & work. A bit sad though because I left my camera behind for a good portion of it.

Highlights:

• Traveled out to Long Island for a day: Parentals + dog
• Art projects & creative juices
• Back to Manhattan: celebrations + kids card games with a 21+ spin
• Amazing flea markets
• Puppy shops
• Brunch at Penelope
• SoHo/West Village wanderings + meeting new friends on the street
• Lots of sushi
• Rooftopping with good friends

So long, sweet summer.

Most beautiful music video.

For a phenomenal visual + audio experience, you MUST check out http://thewildernessdowntown.com -- it's an interactive film by the amazing Chris Milk to Arcade Fire's We Used To Wait. Everything about it is beautifully done. By the end of it, I was a wee bit in love.

A Chrome Experiment, this is truly incredible; the start of changes for future of entertainment and film.

Fighting Gravity.

These guys are sick. No dance training, just some innovation.



You can watch it here on Hulu too.

End of the summer henna.

Mine.

Thanks, Jeannie!

08.28.10: SoHo wanderings.

First record Doug pulled out at Urban Outfitters. Perfect for this week.


Washington Square lounging + fashion icon spotting (not pictured though; I refuse to be a creeper).


Some sort of aerobics utilizing bouncy rollerblade-like footgear. Odd.




For a period of my prepubescent to adolescent life, I wanted to be a glass-blower.




Hey, Takashi Murakami piece just sitting on the floor of this gallery.


Wishlist watch.
(& added more Munnys to my phone.)


Wandered SoHo for hours upon hours.
Note to self: must purchase many a L'Occitane product.

08.27.10: Pickles & paintings.

After a yummy lunch at Banh Mi and some Lower East Side wandering, David & I came across that pickle store that my AP Government teacher from high school used to talk about: The Pickle Guys. Awesome.



Then I forced David to paint the rest of the afternoon.



Took a break for sangria & roasted eggplant spread over bread...I think my taste buds danced a little.



After our painting ordeal, we dragged some folks to my favorite neighborhood Tavern on 13th St...where I found a tipsy friend sitting on recycling tossed on to the curb.



Love this fool.

Mellow days make me smile.
