cuddle time in the afternoon

Sweet Boris and Zoya. They've been part of my home for over a month now and it's been an excellent month indeed. I cannot say that I'm looking forward to shedding non-kittens but I invested in some lint rollers from Ikea to be prepared. Boris has become a cuddle monster, he walks along the edge of the bed at night, slowly makes his way up by my pillow and decidedly flops down in front of me to get some bedtime cuddling in. Zoya sleeps above Ami's head on his pillow and if she's in the mood for cuddles she'll fall asleep in pretty much any position. She also ate so much the other night that she waddled out of the kitchen, I don't think I've ever seen a kitten waddle before.

Drool, it's gorgeous. One day when I have a room worthy of it, I'll investigate how much it costs. Artist = Jason Miller.

wish list

For some reason looking at swatches of spilled nail polish makes me want it even more! However, you suck for being sold out in haze, the colour I would purchase... dreamy smokey violet how pretty you would look on my nails rather than spilled in a picture.

I've become a collector. I walk places, I see pixelated awesomeness, I document said awesomeness in photographs. Extra points awarded if pixelated awesomeness is from arcade games. Above spotted in the East Village.


Spotted in the Meat Packing District.


Spotted in Montmartre, Paris. I especially love the flower box.

i missed the sun today

They said there was a massive winter storm warning for today. I believe they lied and stole the sun at the same time. Jerks.

Picture was taken by an ex-firefighter from Brooklyn who now works on the water taxi to Ikea. He told me the story of how he miraculously survived September 11th in the most authentic Brooklyn accent I've ever heard.

Sondre Lerche's soundtrack to Dan in Real Life makes me dance around in the morning semi-clothed; specifically To Be Surprised have a listen, maybe you'll want to dance around in your frilly lacy things as well!

back to regular programming

Sorry about the lack of posts. My parents came to visit me in New York and we had a blast; mum kept saying, "this is opening up my horizons." Dad knew everything there is to know about New York after reading my rough guide except how to swipe the metro card with any success. I took them to the Frick Collection as it is my favourite, over to Brooklyn to see the view back at the city, up the Empire State Building and just walking around the city to get a feel for it.
