Thoughts...

Do you think that my cat might be a manga illustation? Sometimes this thought occurs to me.

Beach Trip Bonanza

This was probably the last trip of the season unless I decide to start up a polar bear swimming society. However that being very unlikley, Soraya, Shusaku, Jake, and I rolled out to the Floyd Bennet Beach. It was about an hour and a half bike ride out and like two and a half hours back into civilization due to technical difficulties. We met a few people out there and spread our blanket out. We got there a little bit before high tide so just as the relaxation began we couldn't help but notice the tide was definitely threatening our snacking situation!
One of the girls we met out there was thinking on her feet, and started the construction of this moat.

This moat totally saved the day/the snacks/and blankets/etc! It was all good! it did take some steady up keep as the day progressed, party from the water washing it away, and partly from rouge beach visitors walking right through it not paying attention! Luckily the girl who manned the planning and construction of the moat had lots of aditude and yelled at the careless moat treaders. This pleased me and was highly entertaining to watch. While making some moat repairs I realized that there are so many really rad sea shells just chilling everywhere on the beach!
This may seem really obvious to most people but my previous beach experience has always been on "beaches" off of lake eerie and various other great lakes in the mid west. Not exactly tropical isles. Anyway, once this realization went down I ditched my efforts to repair the moat and set off on a full fledged shell search! they are free. i wasn't going to miss out on this opportunity for free shells! So i got about 2 bodega bags full :)

Note to all friends and family, expect googlie eyed shells for Xmas. don't be disappointed. You have been warned.

After the shell search pretty much just chilled w/ Jake talking shit and drinking Coors lights.


Shusaku and his roommate got drunk and they were arguing about philosophy. AKA time to roll home! So we rolled home w/ the most technical difficulites ever! Listed in the following order:
1. Crank fell off josh's shitty mountain bike.
2. Shusaku fell off his bike
3. Jake got a flat tire
4. WTF?! i really thought we weren't going to make it back to civilizatioN!
but we did. other than the technical difficulites over all a success.

Secret Japanther Show

Last month I hit up that secret Japanther show on the Williamsburg Bridge. Followed by a roof top soire. The sparks were flowing that dreams were coming true! So we investigated this show to the extent of the law? wait that dosen't make any sense. eveeverythiing about that show was illegal. moving on! Here's some pics.


it was too crowded to really see the band and it was a miracle that we didn't get arrested! success.


Then people realized they could shimmy up the construction equiptment. this was about the time we decided it was best to bounce to the roof top party.

Then the cops busted up that party! WTF?! some kid we were with was sketched out b/c he has warrents, so when the cops came up to tell us all to leave, he started to shimmy down the fire escape?! way to call attention to yourself! then the cops were all "HEY YOU ON TEH FIRE ESCAPE! GO DOWN THE STAIRS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!!" haha. classic! Anyway that sparks gave me a tummy ache. Saturday AM fail!

The Hurricane Strikes Again!

The Hurricane blew bean's house over, but she's decided to wait out the storm cause she's a tough cookie.

New Bike Alert!!!

Spoiler Alert! This one's for the bike nerds!

So some of my old friends from pre-NYC timez may recall my Terry Symetry that I cruised around Bloomington Indiana on and turned some heads. I bought my fledgling young bike w/ me to NYC and rode it around for about six months before I got hit by a car! (see myspace blog for the details on that debacle). That was two years ago and that car accident JACKED UP my terry. But the frame remained structurally intact (dispite the disrepect is suffered at the hands of a AM New Jersey commuter). So I kept the frame and vowed that when I had a little bit of money to spare the Terry would be restored to her former glory and returned to the streets where she belongs! So a few months ago with some spare money and time I got the Terry the face lift/botox/tummy tuck she needed and dang she's a beaut!

I got the frame a hot new paint job at Chelsea bikes and built into a single speed. Yes thats glitter in the paint.

Very expensive toe clip straps. dang people will spend retarded amounts of money on stupid little accessories for their bikes if they come from japan. I am living proof of that.

The last thing i am waiting on is this Selle Italia LDY Gel flow White saddle and my steed will be complete.


The guy built me some wheels w/ surly hubs and velocity rims. You might not be able to see in the pic, but the bike has a 24" front and a 700c back wheel so it looks CRAZY.
I already splurged on the basket that perfectly fits a six pack of beer. Let the good times roll!

Bust 15th Anniversary Party

(This is totally a belated post, but i just got the internet at my apt.) But i digress, SO soraya decided to take me out and show me a nice time GNO style for the Bust Magazine 15th Anniversary Party. We got totally dolled up and hit up a gypsy cab over to the Lower East Side. Our taxi driver was a Dominican lady, w/ starkly Dolce and Gabanna glasses. She was super rad and sassy. So she drove us over to the South Side Sea Port where they were having the party. We hit up Macdonald's before entering the party and had some value mealz. The whole Mcdonalds was full of teenage boys, and Soraya and I looked HOT! They were freaking out!haha, i was like, must be time for the kids to get back to schooL! they are acting like they haven't seen any pretty girls in months! After the fried fortitude, we rolled over to the party. As soon as we got there we couldn't really find where the party was, then i saw a girl w/ ironic bangs and glasses, i was like follow that hipster! luckily she lead us right to the spot!

(How pretty is soraya? OOC!)p.s. notice the empty glasses....that was the theme of the evening. Having empty glasses and getting them refilled.) NEwho, after we got a drink it was time to immediatly get into a huge line to get into the tent where they were having the entertainment. While in the tent we talked/hung out w/ SIA and JD Samson from LA TIGRE?! They totally were laughing at our jokes! So exciting! i can't take celebrity sightings let alone interactions! Anyway we were like gushing all night b/c we were peeping out all these really cool feminist celebs! Amy Sedaris was hosting the shin dig and that ironic sweater lady Lesie Hall was there w/ her rap group. It was pretty entertainting to watch, then (i think she might be soraya's idol? so we got a pic w/ her after!)





after all the celebrity sitings and merryment i was pretty pooped/totally drunk. Plus can i just say (this is a major achievment as a grown ass woman) i made it my first whole night out w/ my high heeled shoes on! YEA! don't worry about it!



all in all that was the funnest night ever and i totally woke up w/ a tummy ache and wore my make up from the night before to work the next dat! scandal alert!




IRONY!
