hot off the press: well just hot

umm whats better than waiting in the free public sauna train platforms? i know checking out all the artwork. so really its like have a sauna in an art museum. how do you feel about that bikram? seriously i think there should be recognition on creativity cause some if this is real good. who likes looking at stupid adds anyways.
theres a really good one in park slope that i cant tell you about but i also have no idea how to find it again because i have no clue what stop it was at. hmmm. ill have to get on that.

up up and away

i ventured up to upstate and it was totally amazing. its funny how to drive to the top of new york you have to drive through two other states. first time setting my toes on jersey soil and pennsylvania roads. i actually did realize that i have no idea how the entire east coast is situated. maybe i need to start studying. or maybe its just fun to live in fantasy land where everything is just a giant mystery around you?
i really should have taken pictures because it was absolutely amazing up there. such dense green forests and rolling hills. so this is what the humidity does? makes it amazing where the plants grow.
i also realized how nice it is to get out of the city. but dont get me wrong im happy to be back :)

laser eyes

this post has nothing to do with anything at all. its just really good for anyone who knows me to know exactly what im thinking about right now at exactly 10:50 pm sunday night.

everyone i know that lives in los angeles i swear to god is married or getting married.
i just figured that out with the help of rhea. fortunately for me i moved away before they could suck me into their web of outcast singles :)

also i have been listening to the new mirah album alot recently. its really good. im pretty sure that i never noticed how lesbian the lyrics are to all of her songs until now though. seriously. i think i have lesbian ears or something.

most importantly living in new york rules. todd and dionne visited this weekend and it was great. we went to todds moms art show in soho and then out and about. they were staying at the hotel right across from ground zero which was really weird to look out and see what is left and what is going on down there. so sad. it was awesome seeing them though.

lexi is my favorite new girl in the entire world. sorry all you other girls but lexi wins. we had an all day adventure hangout that had many destinations and we were pretty much 15 year olds. it ruled. it was about 95 degrees and 2875408572% humidity out though. waiting for the train is like a sauna. its nice that you can go to the free sauna in new york while you are on your way to hang out with people.

we went to a bunch of bars and somehow got free drinks at almost all of them. like the universe was telling us go ahead drink and dont even worry about paying - you deserve it.
thanks universe.
i also met the two strangest guys ever. i have no idea what there names were. i do know that they both drank a bunch of mojitos and talked about the most awkward things ever. like one kept bringing up his mom and the other one kept talking about his high school running buddy that he just bumped into that could run a 4:04 mile. thats really fast.

tomorrow i go to ithica for little bit of a roadtrip/work thing. its gonna be amazing. best part is that i dont have to drive at all. haha suckers. second best thing is we get to go swimming day two. its so hot here i wish i could swim everywhere.

xxxxx's and ooooo's

magic in the city

the other day while i was sitting out front of my new apartment on the stoop a butterfly slowly drifted its way down to my knee and rested there for atleast 10 minutes. i think he was confused by my dresses floral pattern. what he really thought was ooh nice theres a bunch of giant flowers to sit on. sweet! but what he got was a giant piece of flat cotton. whatevers. isnt it good luck for a butterfly to land on you. well i just decided it is. and you want to know the best part of this story. about 5 minutes into my butterfly experience a homeless man dragging a giant trash bag in one hand and holding like 8 new baseball caps that he was obviously selling in the other walks (well more like drags) himself over to me and tells me:

"girl if i were a butterfly id land on you"

oh wow thanks? nothing makes a girl feel prettier than the idea of a homeless butterfly man dragging junk landing on her.

its really nice how homeless men will talk to you here. they wont even ask you for anything they just like to tell you things. like yesterday i was walking out of an elevator in a pretty fancy building and a scruffy looking 80's gutter punk kind of guy walks passed me into the elevator and stops me to tell me this:

"you have a really good haircut. and your red hair is really great. this means alot since its coming from a fellow redhead. were rare."

yes he did tell me that in those exact words. not quite sure if he was even trying to impress me or just share with me the fact that he indeed did also have red hair. what i can really learn from this is yes ex punk rockers still like girls with short wavy hair that look a bit like a doll. interesting right? but wait theres more.

and to top it all off yesterday i was sitting on my stoop (once again) and out of nowhere, right in front of me a messy ass scruffy homeless dude falls flat on his face and all of his bags go flying around him and his 40 (of course) shatters and there is glass really close to his face on the ground. so i ask him if hes okay because i mean come on hes human - but i dont really want to help him up. does that make me bad? and for about the next two minutes hes just laying on the ground groaning and i have no idea what to do. then he just gets up, grabs all of his things, and then stands in front of me and says this:

"the reason i fell is because i was looking at you. you are the reason i fell"

seriously. i felt like telling him it probably had a little more to do with that 40 in his hand and his overall crazy demeaner but i took my compliment and wore it well. see the thing is when you live in new york you pretty much look like a sweaty mess all summer long but homeless guys will compliment you so you wont feel so bad?

new york - a magical city.
