Sun In Scorpio

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.

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.


....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!

Sun in Scorpio

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).
*Trying on cute headbands at the Green Flea off Columbus Ave. 
*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. 
*Catching my friend Peg Simone (Aries) perform at Treehouse, amazing!
