So. So. Unnecessary.
Upper East Side, Bitches!
This woman is wearing $755 Christian Louboutin heels with a fur coat and perfectly wavy, full hair (not shown) while dropping off her kid (in an Escalade) at school. Where is she going, dressed like this at 9am? Any ideas? It's too early for fashion week. Speaking of fashion, saw Nina Garcia, her husband and kid walking around West of my hood. Nice sighting. Wondering if I can include her in my upcoming photography project.
Happy Friday!
So today has been the slowest day ever after a tumultuous week. Yes, still waiting. I think the waiting is giving me an ulcer. My "Save Ugly Betty" group was not the big hit I had hoped for. So you can imagine my pleasant surprise when I saw this! Oh happy day! My mother has been telling me about a friend from her high school who has a blog, Out & About in New York City that she reads religiously and absolutely adores. Daryl's photos are in the moment, and give a picture as to what's going on in NYC - and her surroundings. She seems to have a super large following (slightly jealous) and I especially admire the snow flakes floating through her pictures. Coolness. So there you go. The world of blogging and Facebook crossing generations. And coincidentally, I now live exactly 10 blocks from my mom's high school, The High School of Art and Design.
And in other news.. comment sentiment concludes that that woman was doing the walk of shame, is possibly not wearing anything underneath her trench coat, and reminds us of yet another reason why we all love New York City. Nothing like creating an entire story around a picture of a stranger.
What's In A Name?
Perhaps this is the reason why Apple's stock is down since yesterday and way down from about 3 weeks ago.

Yes Folks, There Is A God
The Shake Shack is coming to the Upper East Side.
HERE.
On a weirder note.. I was emailing my boyfriend various thoughts, among them, my desire to hit up the Shack for lunch. While I was typing, he sent me a link to this article. Hmm.
Do You Want to go to Yale?
Yale's admission's video - inspired by Glee. What are your thoughts? I couldn't watch the whole thing. It started giving me a headache but maybe I'm just hungry. Hmm. I miss college.

The Bad, the Ugly and the Good
Sunday I had quite the adventure. After having an overpriced coffee and brioche with my boyfriend at Le Pain Quitidien, I jogged through the rain and made the long journey to my parent's house in Schmersey. After five years of waiting, my friend and I finally visited his grandmother's storage facility. Ten years ago, she got evicted from her Washington Heights apartment when people learned she didn't live there full time. The place was essentially storage - books and clothes accumulated by his grandfather, a pack rat. We were both convinced that we'd find interesting objects and that there was a great story somewhere in the mess.
Two hours later, we arrived to the storage facility. We opened the garage-like door to reveal boxes stacked 10 high and about 6 deep, about 20 black garbage backs thrown on the floor and old suitcases miscellaneously parked on the floor. We ripped open the boxes with our keys. Books. More books. Books. More books. All from the Strand, still with their $1 price tags on. Occasionally we found potential: a box of old Life Magazines and a box full of old letters. But for the most part, it was overwhelming and slightly disappointing. Furthering our doubt in finding anything of value, my friend's grandmother was convinced the movers had already taken the valuables while they cleaned her apartment.
After an hour of searching we finally gave up and headed into the city to see Avatar. We found a parking spot 8 blocks away from the Kip's Bay theater and proceeded to half jog through the miserable rain, laughing through the slightly painful run. About two blocks away from the theater, while walking, a guy coming towards me grabs my umbrella and twists a side, breaking the a metal piece and consequently, breaking my umbrella. The Ugly. I'm more bothered that someone decided to break my umbrella purely out of evil than the fact that my umbrella is actually broken. Who does that?!
We met up with my bf and finally headed into Avatar. The Good. The movie was amazing. The movie industry has entered the world of 3D. The film was not only entertaining and had a broad appeal, but it's message about the environment was clear and moving; we need to respect all living creatures and their habitats because in the end, we're all interconnected. We finished off the night at a nearby diner, eating chicken fingers while watching the Golden Globes. A perfect ending to a crazy, rainy Sunday.
Brrrr
Just had a miniature nervous breakdown. There was crying involved. Mid-shampoo, the hot water in my apartment ran out and stopped working. I'm glad I moved from one ghetto apartment to the next. I managed to avoid hypothermia while I boiled pots of water but did achieve a minor injury during its transportation. I'll try and avoid taking the "why me" approach because as I speak, there's probably the crazy, homeless man, sleeping just outside the church across the street from my apartment. It certainly can't be karma because just yesterday, I donated money to two random causes. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to continue getting ready for work and convince myself that this has no bearing on the rest of my day. Tear.
