On today's itinerary: Discovering Columbus, the amazing installation at Columbus Circle, which unfortunately is only temporary -- like most of the decent public art that's funded in NYC, but so is a city that thrives on what's transitory.

ENVY MY socks
#8
Today was a day made for hot dog socks. I got them this summer on the boardwalk, at Coney Island. A real find for someone like me -- and you better believe I was at the register with my cash out quicker than you can spell mustard... I can't explain, something about them screamed excitement, as I knew these socks were meant to go places.

....and in my latest obsession: Tatzu Nishi's work, a fun fact I learned is that Tatzu Nishi isn't his real name. He is constantly changing his name as another of his projects. He sees his name as 西野達, so using English letters holds no sentiment. Badass!

ENVY MY sense of oblivion
#6
Hurricane Sandy may be surging up the coast, right into the NYC area, but whateverrr? There is a corn maze in the shape of a kangaroo I have to get to and the scent of chocolate in the air to sniff. It may be the storm of the century, but its not going to ruin my road trip. Destination: Hershey, PA.
...and on a side note, it's only appropriate I am with my friends Greg and Rick. Every time we get together, there is a catastrophic event. It's like we are some sort of trinity of tragedy. When we align, doom prevails. Our track record: the Northeast blackout of 2003, the Great White concert disaster, the Indian Ocean Tsunami...and now Sandy...

ENVY MY hoarding

Since switching over to 2012 (a week now!!!) and getting a smart phone, I am now all about my iphone. I don't need friends anymore. If I want to talk to anyone, I've got Siri (even though she doesn't understand a word I say) ...or I can just do what I've been doing for the last week: obsessively hunting down the cutest accessories for my phone, because its finding those trinkets that make having techno toys soooo much more fun for a gal like me....and in having this predilection, I've have amassed a small collection of bags, all as cute as can be. So cute, I had to make a montage! ...Sometimes I swear it's just my DNA driving me to this type of cute overload, like being unable to resist loving Hello Kitty at any of my ages. Ai-Yaaaaa....
..and just so you know, since people are always asking where I got my bags, especially the TV one, here is how to bite my style: the TV bag I got it in Tel Aviv, the fake book one I got online, the Lego bag (Yes, you can move around the pieces) and the polka dot iphone case I got at The Stone Flower in NYC (which I am told are all cute imports from Thailand), the black clutch I got at Target's Fashion Night Out Kirna Zabete pop-up and the face bag I got at Anna Sui.

ENVY MY Ingrid
#3
I love instant karma. I believe in it. I aspire to it and I only have patience for it. Unless I click with someone in a way that makes me feel as if I've known them forever upon meeting, I won't put much effort into wanting to know more. Yes, a tall order, but in this lifetime I am striving for quality, not quantity and even despite feeling out of sync with this world most of the time, I do have those moments and those meetings with destiny that make me understand all is alright. Enter Ingrid.
Ingrid (Pisces) appeared in my life just in the nick of time to reconfirm my belief that amazingly good, smart and compassionate people do exist and laughing with them, in the face of adversity, can make all things possible again. Yes, she's a modern day super hero to me that I can go on and on about, as I think she is the type of lady everyone should aspire to be more like -- as in not taking crap from anyone, but always being willing to care....On the funny side of that is her self-professed alter ego: Bon Qui Qui and one of Ingi's claims to fame with me is that she is my only friend that has had to go through anger management, twice! Love her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ENVY MY happiness
#2
No time am I happiest than when I find something to listen to that I must hear over and over again, as if I just discovered the secret of eternal happiness. Obsession is the only way I roll.
Last week, I watched Planet B-Boy (*It's the link to the entire movie!!!! So good, love Crazy Grandma and Gamblerz' kimchi ration in Germany)...It's from 2007 and although I heard about it and it was playing at the movie theatre down the street forever back then...WOW, I didn't know what I was missing....Love this version of Pachelbel's Canon, and the Korean mash-up of old and new to an otherwise very poorly overused piece of beautiful music....Love...

Sun Enters Scorpio
ENVY MY __________
#1
The sun has made its way to Scorpio; Death Star 2012 is in the house. Time for heightened dramas, explosive intensity, miraculous transformations, and profound jealousies. Yes, many maniacal misunderstandings in the making too, but so are the times symbolized by such a tiny, but deadly animal that strikes suddenly, without fear or sound, gunning for fatality.
....Amid this, I bid adieu to the blissful times of Libra with an enviable weekend before the darkness falls...Highlights:
*A haunted Saturday with two of my all-time favorite Pisces, John and Jay.

*Fall foliage
*Sleepy Hallow
*Getting a pic with the Headless Horseman--so much better than Santa.
*Buying cute Lego rings at the Hester St. Fair : Me & Mo (Taurus).
*A surprise hang with my friend Jaime (Aquarius), fresh off the first rally he organized, to get the rec center in his neighborhood open (how Aquarius). Go Jamie! ...and our total geek out with our new iphones.
