" Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard"
Baz Luhrmann's "Everybody's free (to wear sunscreen)"

I was reading through the New York Moleskin cityblog and I really liked this entry...

"I got on the train this morning and... I did something that can only be done shamelessly in a large city – I stared at people.

...I saw someone who I recognized…huge red beard, glasses and a newsboy cap. I quickly looked away, closed my eyes and began to search my brain to figure out who this person was and how I knew them. Then I placed him. We used to live in the same building two years ago. For over two years, I would regularly see him living his everyday life and we always said hello and exchanged small talk. The strange thing is, I know that he lives with his girlfriend, drives an old maroon Volvo and has a Shiba Inu dog that is blind, but at that moment, on the train I didn’t feel like I had to say hi. I adverted my eyes from his general area and didn’t feel bad about not saying hello. This is one of the things I love and hate about large city living. There is a redeeming quality about large city living in that you can be a complete prick and no one will ever really remember you, but I do miss that smaller town quality where everyone says hello and remembers your face."

This week, I went to a Knicks game, and was lucky enough to attend the MTV Woodie Awards as well, with my intern supervisors.
It's getting colder outside... and always raining lately.

I like re-listening to John mayer songs.. reminds me of high school...

"Here comes the cold
Break out the winter clothes
And find a love to call your own
You - enter you
Your cheeks a shade of pink
And the rest of you in powder blue

Who knows what will be
But I'll make you this guarantee

No way November will see our goodbye
When it comes to December it's obvious why
No one wants to be alone at Christmas time "

I voted for the first time on tuesday! Obama is now our president! My intern supervisor made these obama cupcakes to celebrate.


That second film I was in, let me play around on the beach with this outfit on, at 7 AM on a saturday, in the frigid wind. It was so cold, like 20 degrees.


Jacob Riis Beach at 7 AM


This was a couple weekends ago, but I helped out at New York Cares Day, and painted this mural at a public school way uptown.
