Home
It is so weird to be home again. Perhaps I'd be more excited under different circumstances, because the past few weeks I have been truly homesick...
I find myself in sensory overload.
Sitting in the passenger seat of a car, driving and seeing nothing but fields and open space. Learning my house all over again. The feeling of the floor under my bare feet, the ways the door lock, the sound of birds chirping and airplanes flying over head... no more traffic, sirens, the distant buzz of puerto rican music and kids shouting in the playgrounds. In contrast it almost feels like silence here at home. Opening my fridge suddenly noticing how narrow it is. Looking out my window and falling in love with a different kind of view. Vines have framed my picture plane, and I look out onto a menagerie of green. A new apple tree in bloom... an old cherry tree I use to look out my window at every morning and dream, about different places in the world I wanted to be besides right here at home. Last night I had the best sleep I've had since I moved. The comfort of my bed. Living out of a suitcase at home is what feels most strange... as if im vacationing here from my reality...
It is an unfamiliar familiarity. Does that make sense? I've only been away 2 months and it feels like it's changed, its been weathered... or maybe its me thats been changed and weathered..

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn"

from topshop to favela and back
Best Weekend Yet:
FRIDAY
08:00 - tim arrives and port authority / my work :)
14:30 - after a busy afternoon of checking in returns, we have lunch @ europa & this blogger dude takes a picture of my denim x denim emsemble. (why is it that the days when you arent trying to look good, people notice you more?) I was flattered when he said I must work over at the Conde building. An ego stroke I definitely needed :(
19:30 - michelle gets off work. early.
21:00 - get to the telly and laxed & watched the dark knight
22:00 - arrive at SushiSamba aka heaven on earth if I believed in it. Chilean seabass, sake & bliss.
24:00 - popped belvy & took jeezy circulate pics ahahaha
SATURDAY
12:00 - tried to finish the belvedere. more dark knight & check out.
16:00 - eat ray boner pizza & head to the MET for the Model as Muse exhibition + I enlightened Tim with my expertise on Claude Monet
20:00 - back to my apartment to change clothes & go.
22:00 - eat amazing perogies & chicken cutlet at Veselka in East Village (arugula&spinach, sauerkraut&mushrooms...delish)
24:00 - meet up with elaine & rina & eventually settle at Kenka! Kenka is fucked. In a good way. They serve bull nads and theres asian porn plastered to the walls. There`s 349023493-0 types of Sake and Soju etc. Disgusting but it sorta gets the job done.
02:00 - got some heinys to keep our buzz, head home. we finish the belv with my roomate. and have wine. and pass the fuck out pretty much.
SUNDAY
13:00 - slow start but eventually head out to Topshop for the bicycle club event. rented bikes for free and started riding into traffic on Broadway. Not the best place to experiment with city biking. tim almost runs into a cab & i got asked `WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU` as i swerved in front of a truck or several.
14:00-16:00 - we ride from SoHo to the Brooklyn Bridge, burn our calves going uphill over the bridge for 20 yrs. Arrive in BK. Look for a non-existant flea, and get rained on while riding through Jew town, where political messages were being played through a mega phone. Oh and im also flashing everyone along the way as im wearing a skirt.
16:00 - we find this cute Brazilian place, with live music and crazy folk drinking mojitos in the middle of the afternoon. i had this bomb brazilian sausage sandwich & tim had the omelette. it starts to rain while we`re sitting outside on the patio, and everyone just pulls out umbrellas and carries on with their meal haha
17:00 - we head back over to manhattan and ride to the West, to the Hudson river near the Jane. We chillout looking over at Jersey & watch a man exercise and samba on a bench.
19:00 - back to topshop to give back the bikes, and while walking back to apt, spot Mr.Lim in LES lol.
20:00 - see tim off at Penn :(. saddest ever.

just saying...
coming soon
i have been slacking on this for the past little while.
but since im in the city, alone, with copious amounts of time to myself, expect some aesthetic change soon.
my latest project at work was to find menswear videos, creative shorts and films based on collections.
i discovered these dope vids by the brand COMING SOON by Yohji Yamamoto.
