feeling old

so the other day at paul frank, one of the other girls i work with was like... "so you're going to be turning 23 next year?" and my jaw almost hit the floor... i can't believe it, i'm turning 23 already... I just want to turn 21 every year...
it's just pretty crazy, that's all. hard to grasp.

then again I have been here in NY for 3 months and 4 days exactly and it seems like it flew by but also seems like i've been here forever....
working two retail jobs is pretty draining so i was pretty stoked that i got off of work sunday and monday.

sunday i had breakfast in hoboken with my aunt. then i headed back to brooklyn but stopped in to visit my roommate/friend at work. then before i hopped back on the train i got to watch this
not the best dragon dance i've ever seen but i still enjoyed it, i am just nostalgic about my heritage i guess.

later i went to a bike store with my cousin pat since i am thinking about getting a track bike.... thinking about getting a fuji track bike. it's hard to find the size i need since i'm mad short. and they don't really make womens' fixed gear bikes.

then later i went to see The Darjeeling Limited, the new Wes Anderson film.
the movie was good.... weird as usual, but entertaining. I dug it.

Monday I did laundry and grocery shopping. Later on i went to Century 21 with anabel and bought a shower curtain, sheets and a tea kettle

my new copco kettle. i totally dig the color and the size. reminds me of an egg yolk


got these reeboks in orlando for like... $26. pretty much fits what i've been looking for and the price was really good too
got these from zappos.com basics are always good to have. I had been wanting them for a while. I have been an avid chuck taylor fan for years but after i started wearing vans checkered slip-ons I might be a convert. I still sport the chucks but they tend to be more narrow in the front and they rub my pinky toes. havn't worn these yet, but they are probably wider, and more cushy goodness. comfy footwear is vital in the city now that i walk a lot more.
btw- free next day shipping!

tried out the thai place near me. got shrimp pad thai... good but strangely lacked in color...

To orlando and back again

So the new place is becoming more like home. didn't take me very long at all to get used to the commute. I've been venturing along other subway routes...

I actually just got back from Orlando. went for a short 3-day visit.

didn't really get too many great pics. didn't really get to see everyone i wanted to either.
next time.

it was awesome getting to see my babe, definitely too short of a trip though :\
felt like old times being back there with all my orlando buddies... i miss it.

enjoyed a grilled cheese dinner on the rooftop tonight, i'll admit...it's good to be back.

new things

since the last post... i have worked at wesc about three weeks. liking it.
it's a nice break from the craziness that is paul frank

paul frank is good too, been getting closer with my co-workers which makes the hours go by less slowly

This is a few of us at Alligator for Big-J's bday (three cheers for free pizza with every beer!)
but the headliner of this blog is my official move to brooklyn!
I moved in with my former paul frank manager.
so now i'm all up in green point! and i even get a free min-pin outta the deal!
this is actually my first night here

today was also my last day of sewing class. completed a pair of pajama pants!

ooh! the church bell is ringing for midnight... i really like it... not sure if it will be waking me up though...

alright... more updates when the past weeks events come to mind
