4 days of manhattan

posted May 20th, 2013

oh, so many IPA's, so many calories...
times square after gorging on sushi
west 28th street
i know, i know... latte shots are so over done, but i love this one
every time i walk the brooklyn bridge it is raining...
i spent the last 4 days in new york with krissy (paper schmaper), and i did my best to introduce her to one of my favorite cities. we stayed at the ace hotel in midtown, and it was a long weekend of awesome eating and drinking, with a little shopping and art thrown in. other highlights:

  • lunch with aimee (artsyville) thursday at the spotted pig
  • hanging with cindy (town & country) at the moma friday
  • seeing patricia (red bow studio) for the first time in at least 2 years and wandering soho on saturday
  • meeting julia (red otter creative) and drinking our way up from soho to greenwich village

i think it’s going to take me a week to recover but it was worth it!

yummy quotes

posted May 15th, 2013

some quotes i’ve savored from recently read books:

hyssop is (as you may know) a purificatory herb that smells like mint from outer space.
– decreation, anne carson

i didn’t really want more champagne, but i wanted him to come back to me.
– revenge, yoko ogawa

all she had consumed all day was smoke, heavy feelings, and chocolate ice cream.
– green girl, kate zambreno

but before this recognition quite a bit of sleeping goes on, or is prevented from going on, in noteworthy ways.
– decreation, anne carson

nobody can judge what goes on between two people. if one can be compassionate, understanding, patient, then the song of the stars begins and love is born.
– i shock myself, beatrice wood

the lakes where his factory has poisoned everything are as beautiful as a brueghel.
– decreation, anne carson
