Full bangs and kinda of a straight hair cut..... I talk to her about it and she says.... its a mushroom haircut....

10.13.08 HEY THERE BOY..... GURLLLLL
I started off the day by mailing off my Free People project off to Philly.... I had the greatest feeling... I felt like i was freed from a sweat shop.... Well... with that finished....... I had take a shower for my 1st hair cut in 10 years....... As some of you know... I usually cut my own hair.... straight across and I am good...... no layers... nothing..... I tried something new a few months ago... i gave myself bangs..... i didn't give myself good bangs at that... but hey i give myself credit...i had bangs for about a week. Well anyways back to my 1st hair cut in 10 years....... I take my shower and i forget what I did the rest of the day....all i know is that I didn't eat anything.... I head out to the East Village.... I get there about 45 minutes early but I needed to find a WAMU to get some cash out.... I pretty much go around in a circle and realize that there is a WAMU around the block from her apartment. So I am about starving...... and go to McDonald's for some french fries..... I go to order my fries.... she goes to get the fries and I hand her a 20 but she did not have enough to give me change.... she calls the manager and he looks at the fries and tells her that she gave me too much fries..... and went on to lecture her that she should only be putting 4 oz in and that is it....She replies.... do you want me to put it back..... Okay at this point... I am staring at the manager thinking.... WTF.... its 3 more pieces of fries..... I hate McDonald's...... READ FAST FOOD NATION! So I finally get to her apartment.... okay.... it is kinda ghetto... but I had to give her a chance... Kathy loves her!!! She gave her bangs and a layers.... and she looks great...... So i had to give her a chance... So this is what I wanted....... 
Full bangs and kinda of a straight hair cut..... I talk to her about it and she says.... its a mushroom haircut.... I say.... yeah kinda but straighter across the bottom.... and then tell her.... do what you thinks looks best.... This should have been the tip off.....she looks at the picture and asks is that a boy...AHHHHHH.....not soo good So we talk and 30 minutes later she is finished......

10.06.08-10.13.08 Locked up in #34
So I had to compile this week into one post... otherwise there will be a few dead family members out there.... I ended up going to the thrift store in washington heights to buy some knit garments to work on my free people project...... I ended up getting about 2 over sized fleece pull overs, a mens button up top, kathy's old sweater, a oversized waffle top and some cording and elastic....... I was not really sure what I was gonna make but I was gonna make something I was gonna be able to wear at least! 
1 of the oversized fleece pullovers 
The very bad hand sketch I made for Free People.... 
This top mixes the waffle knit and the mens button up top. I added buttons and some hand stitch details to the top 
This jacket mixes two of the oversized fleece pullovers cuz I did not have enough fabric... But it ended up being the best of the three garments. I also used kathy's old sweater + the old ripcurl jacket she was getting rid of for zippers. 
This pull over is all one fleece... I turned the hood inside out so that you can see the waffle knit and tried to make a girly muscle top. Adding some military detailing with the cording at the back and added an elastic waistband with a metal buckle. Lets just say I was in washington heights all week working on this project... It was fun times.... 
A night of drinking cuz the girls did not have to work that day. Photo taken right after a trip to Pinkberry's...taken in Columbus Square!!!!! Here is a random photo.... In Manhattan they lock up the Axe Spray!!! Go figure!

10.03.08 LUCKY DAY
So I went to an interview in Phili with Free People. The one place I have wanted to work at for the longest time..... I get ready for an interview with Free People in Phili. Outfit requirements: dress casual cuz they want to eye me up and down..... what do I wear... a boys button up striped shirt and plaid skinny capri shorts. Lets just say it was VERY casual!!! I had to go pick up my tickets at the train station so I left the apartment about 10:30 am so that I can check out the Free People store in Chelsea. I walk to the Free People store which is on 5th Ave just north of 14th St. It is a pretty nice looking store but I must say that the FP stores in Cali look way better!!! Just my opinion! I wander around the store about 30 minutes to get the vibe, and leave to go into the Anthropologie store across the street, I roam around that store for about 3o minutes and walk out with nothing. (pat on the back) I realize I need cash to pay for the taxi in Phili so I head to Chase-whom bought WAMU, so I assumed that I could use their ATMs right? Nope, I get charged $3 for using the ATM....Is WAMU and Chase not the same banks now? I check online and my checking says Chase-WAMU.... All I have to say is that I better get my money back! and WAMU better not charge me....huh....will I get charged by WAMU???? since they are not a bank anymore???? I WANT MY MONEY! Anyways..... on my way back to the station I decide to go into Urban cuz I have an hour to kill and I have a $100 gift certificate to burn. I've had this gift certificate for about a year now and have not even used a cent of it.... SUCKS!! I never find anything I like...until I went into that urban...I found some Levi's 421 skinny jeans in the eyeliner color.... I go to try on the jeans and lets just say they were tighter than a glove..... Not so much a good look on me.... You say photo? YOU WISH!! The jeans were a really nice color and I liked the fit... so I go out and to see if they have one size up, but just my luck... they don't have it! While I was looking for the size I realize that dirty boy from subway with the crazy eyes works there. And yes, he is trying to have a staring contest with me again for some reason... All I could think was stare at the ground.... DUDE! these guys eyes are pretty intimidating and scary! So my attempt to purchase something was a bust, so I head back to the station but get a little side tracked my a supermarket.....my stomach was leading the way! Well, I pick up a few things and what do I find there.......Fried Onions!!!!! I could not pass that up! I had to buy not 1 can but 2! YES!!! Finally a great purchase! heheheheheh I finally get on the train at 1:30pm and take a seat near the rear of the car where there are 4 seats facing each other and get a window seat. The entire time I hope that no one sits with me, and again.... just my luck! this Asian dude comes and sits with me....I smile and let it be. But then he pissed me off! He sits directly in front of me. Why am I pissed... Well let me tell you.... obviously it is a free world.... but geez! can you take another seat besides the one that is directly facing me. I think to myself he wants to talk right? well.. F no I am not gonna satisfy him! I put on my headphones and read my book! HA! So about 20 minutes into the ride he starts to doze off. You know when people are sitting up right and trying to sleep and their head bobs up and down and to the side....hahehheheahahaheheh... yeah like that... It was pretty funny...It kept me entertained for about 10 minutes. That is when he gets really uncomfortable and decides to slide over to the seat next to him so that he can relax his legs! DUMB BASTARD! SEE! SEE why I am pissed! I finally get there an 1hr and 30 minutes later and get a taxi to head to the interview at the Naval base. I first interview with the Recruiter and then the Design Director. The interview with the recruiter went great... we just talked and she looked thru my portfolio...the piece of crap that it is.... and head over to talk to the Design Director in the Free People Building.....there is a building for reach division.... there is an Urban Outfitters, Free People, Anthropologie building and there is a cafeteria with a gym....free to all employees!!!! AMAZING! Hey if I get a job there, I might go exercise! hehehehheheh maybe..... So I sit and talk to the Design Director about my work experience and she looks thru my portfolio.....but the entire time I could not keep eye contact with her..... I think we were sitting so close I got a bit weird.... I realized that I was not making eye contact with her and start to but then she starts to stare at my portfolio! DAMN! But then she tells me that the computer sketches do not translate to her at all. She says that when she sees the photoshoot pictures and the cad next to each other she can't see how the factory made the garment with the cad..... AHHHHHHH!!! And she tells me that they are very hands on there and they sketch everything by hand! AHHHHHHH!!!!!! But it still sound amazing to be working and being crafty all day! She then asked me where I was from and I told her that I was from Orange County and she she told me that she has a few girls from Orange County in the department. I told her that one of my old high school mates works at urban- Jasmine Yoon and she tells me that she works for Free People. I freak out a little bit like the teeny bopper I am and say 'SMALL WORLD!' So we end the interview with her asking me to do 3 little groups so that she can get a feel of what I might do for the company. She runs to go grab Jasmine, and like two high schoolers we get very gitty! I head back to the Phili train station to go back to NY.
Here are some photos from the ride...
30th St Station-outside 
inside station
At this point I am starving!!! Chips and water did not do it for me. I buy a tuna melt from COSI, and I took my first bit and I think I about died! It was a pretty good sandwich!! I def recommend COSI!!! I finally get back into the city and head to the Crocodile Lounge in the East Village to meet up with the girls..... Lets just say..this place.... you buy a drink and you get a mini pizza all night!!! Why would you want to go anywhere else???? Lets just say the girls got there at 6pm and we left about 12:30am..... Why did we stay so long....well.... Pizza and free drinks from the bartender ain't so bad right? :P All I can remember is....Kathy hiding her phone in her bra and the girls calling her and her boobs glowing.... a guy saying 'when he wants to settle down he is going back to the midwest to get married and have babies', a guy telling Amanda 'I'm loney tonight' and a guy asking Amanda 'where do you go to meet guys?, I punch Kathy in the neck and say 'lets dance douche bag!' Interesting......We finally leave the bar to go to heaven..... DESSERT TRUCK!!! On our drunk walk to dessert truck... Amanda is running after me telling me she loves me and wants to hug me and Kathy just saying that I am a mean drunk. Lets just get this straight right now.... I am always mean, I don't need to be drunk to be mean..... Its just a good excuse to punch people! heheheheheh Well also on the way to heaven I think about Alex Greenwald and tell Kathy that I would have been all over him if I was at their show tonight (my bad) he is sooo pretty! .....Well, we get to St. Mark's St and we have to wait at the corner for everyone else to catch up and start to people watch.... I see this guy and think...wow! he is really cute.... he get closer and realize I know this dude! Its Alex Greenwald..... I freak out and run tell Kathy and then I get really gitty and my buzz is gone.... He killed my buzz! but then again he can kill whatever he wants!!!

I head into the first liquor store I see and DAMN IT he says 'machine down' I head to the next one and he says the exact same thing and adds that all the machines are down after midnight! WTF!!! I am on a roll!!!! So I settle for a scratcher... a $5 one! its the first one I saw! Am I a millionare? nope! NOT YET!!!! But am I mad that I am not a millionare? nope! not so much!

9.30.08 YA-YA Interview
During the past week... I have had email conversations with a potential employer.... YA-YA apparel for a developer/design position. She pretty much laid everyone out for me over email... what i would be doing on a day to day basis and how much creativity... which was not much at all... But I decided to go check it out and on my way there... I realize that it across the street from Bryant Park... over looking it.... It is a pretty amazing location.... now this job sounded even better than before..... It would get me into the contemporary market just like I wanted......
Well I get there a bit early and decide to hang out in Bryant Park for a bit..... I am sitting there minding my own business as usual..... when this guy sits down to have a cigarette about 30 feet away from me..... Me still minding my own business... I look up and see him staring right at me with a blank stare with his cigarette barely in his mouth about to fall out..... Well now... at his point... i can't stop staring cuz it is too funny not to keep looking....
I finally leave my cigarette smoking admirer to head up to the interview.... When i get there... I realize that they are working out of their show room.... two sales rep and the girl I am interviewing with.... We sit and have a nice talk about my experience..... and then she gives me a mini test..... she grabs a few garments and asks me to describe the garment.....as i would describe it to the vendor..... so I go in my apparel lingo and it is not what she wants to here....... she wanted to hear.... 1/4" DN stitch, lt wt fused collar, exposed #5 zipper.... etc.... I mean if she wanted all that.... she should have asked me how would i put this garment in a t/p form calling out details...... AHHH... So I failed miserably...... at the end.... she asks me what I think.... if i think I could do this... I said yes... of course and then asks what I would like to get paid here..... and she writes it down in her notes..... I think that would have been the kiss of death for me also..... I am too expensive..... WHO KNEW I COULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE NOW.... I WAS CHEAP A YEAR AGO! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I need a job!!!!
After the interview I just head home to Washington heights..... and hang out and home.... FUN TIMES!

9.28.08 Lychee looks like.......
I wake up to go to church.... I have a nice 15 minute walk to the church and try to zig zag thru all the dog poop in the street while it is raining. Walking to church I see tons of people walking to the park in Medieval costumes.... not very good ones at that..... They were all going to get drunk.... way too early in the morning! It was sad at the same time cuz they were all going to the festival and it was raining! SOOO Sad! I like going to the 9am service than the 11am service.... why.... well.... I like the way the choir sings at the 9am service... the lady at the 11am service.... umm... not to me mean in any way.... I prefer not to hear her sing.... :( Well, anyways..... there was a really amazing singer sitting behind me.... I kept looking back and smiling... it was pretty amazing and it put me in a really great mood! I head home and the girls are awake to go to brunch at the Antique Garage in Soho! 
So on the train ride to Soho.... I start to eye this old man with this amazing bag!!! WTF I want that bag bad!!!! Its just makes me feel sad..... it would make so much more sense if that bag was with me and not him..... ya know... We get there and take our seats... then our waiter comes... really nice but for some reason...the waiters in NYC are reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaalllllllllyyyyyyyyyy slow.... Well anyways... the waiter takes our orders and walks away.... I guess this is when kathy notices a really bad odor... she pays no attention to it and we go on chatting about who knows what! The waiter then comes back to give us our entrees and Kathy smells the odor again.... and she tells us she smells something funky and can't figure out what it is.....and Kathy says she thinks it is the waiter..... I tell her she is crazy cuz i can't smell a thing. The waiter drops something else off at the table and she takes a big wif and she says...yes.... it is def him... its very bad b.o. Enough of this dude.... Amanda decides to come have brunch with us and hang for the rest of the day. We walked around Soho and went window shopping and Kathy says she wants to visit Paolo who works at Alessi a few blocks from where we were... Well to make this a shorter post and a less boring one at that.... Amanda saw a very cute boy in the store and she told Kathy about him but did not see him.... we called him 'Harry Potter' just cuz he had the glasses. Well anywho... Amanda or Kathy tell Paolo and he tries to introduce 'Harry Potter' to us. Paolo asked who and Amanda says it is the guy with glasses.... Well..... he gets the guy with the glasses and tells him to come out to meet us.... So he turns the corner Amanda sees him and thinks... that is not him..... Kathy looks at him and thinks..... that can't be him...... Well.... Go figure... there are two guys there with glasses.... After a bust with the meet and greet.... we get thrown out of Alessi by the Russian lady....all i remember her saying is 'WE ARE CLOSED!' and points out the door. 
Some random photos at the Alessi bathroom display..... you can't take me anywhere! So we head out to find some drinks and we land at 'The Dove' a bar with velvet walls.... VERY NICE! Nothing really exciting happened here.... here is a photo to document! 
Amanda thinking...... we do this a lot here..... For dinner we head to Isle-a Thai restaurant.... Lets just say.... it had the best lychee frozen drink in the world.... ALL SUGAR!!!! kept me up all night.... Well.... After Kathy sees and tries my drink... she decides she wants one also... COPYKAT... get it... get it!! anyways.... Selfish me.... i don't offer anyone a try of my drink..... Kathy does and Amanda tries it and she likes it too..... but I guess in between all this.... she says the most disturbing thing ever!!!

9.27.08 Movie night
So the day started off pretty early.......about 9ish. I needed to go to Target to get more hangers to finally hang up all my clothes that have been in the boxes. Why did I wait so long to buy hangers? Well, the week before I went with Kathy and they ran out and would not get any until maybe Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. So another week of boxes.... okay, okay... I know I could get hangers anywhere, but I wanted the ones from target, they have the special hanger with the 'groove' for tank tops with wide straps....do you know what I mean. I DO NOT like the ones that are just straight! They do not hold the tanks at all and all my tanks end up on the ground. I mean this is probably lame to tons of you.... oh wait...it's NOT...you are reading the blog cuz you care! :P
We back to my Target trip, I got there and got a grip load of hangers and finally felt complete! But since it was still early and I knew the girls were not up yet, I decided to stop by Marshall's to look around a bit. I found myself in home section and found an amazing rug....take a look see! It was only $29.99.
I got home around 11ish and start to hang up my clothes and put my rug around the table....look...its already full! I feel at home now.... and my room is a mess! IT IS HOME!
I did not have anything planned for the day but Kathy finds out that 'Choke' just opened and wants to go see it..... I asked who is in the movie and she says Sam Rockwell and Angelica Houston. Those two names alone made me get off my computer chair....I mean I totally could have been at home blogging about nothing but I felt like this was a better choice......I hope....
...GO SEE IT!...
So we finally get off the couch and head out in the humid, rainy city. But 1st stop is Home Depot for the bed stablizers. Great invention!
Marc Ecko store window in Chelsea
So I have been craving some sushi since I got here...... All I wanted was GOOD sushi! What did I get... okay sushi, but found a new beer! Kirin Light! WOOOO WHOOOO!!!! Its all about the beer now.....Beer gut here I come! Follow in my Father's foot steps!
After the movie, we walk down to Chinatown to have a drink with Paolo at Fontana's. Before we walk in, the bouncer says to go all the way to the back......that's all he says.... we walk in and this place is packed! Right when we walk in we already saw people right at the door and eyes on us....I felt very violated...... after about 5 minutes in that place and not finding Paolo we walked right back out. On our journey of pushing people out of the way and side stepping to the front door I almost tripped a girl with my bag. I obviously apologize to her (like the nice person I am) but she looks back at me with the death stare.....I guess she did not want me to apologize...huh..... Well at that point...I wished I had just made her fall flat on her face.....
At this point, it is about 1am, so we walk to the train station to catch the train home. On our walk there.... we see Douche #3- we walks pass us saying 'Ching, chong, chen.' Apparently we were supposed to understand this, I start to look over at Kathy and at moment she says 'F YOU!'
So question..... do all Asians speak the same language? Do we all look the same? Or was this douche just trying to make us swoon over his ignorance? Please enlighten me...I would LOVE to know! Oh man....... I heart NY!
I walk up the stairs and there is grip load of people trying to get out onto the streets....walking up the stairs..I walk the pace everyone else on the stairs is walking....I get the surface and the Douche #4 behind me says under is breathe, 'F*** can you walk any faster.' I turn around and I looked at him with the death stare 'Uhhhhhhh ooooooookkkkkayyyyy.' I find Kathy and complain that people here are F***ing rude here. I mean seriously....was I supposed to zig and zag thru people walking up the stairs...cuz seriously.... we were like ants walking up the stairs....or was I supposed to grow longer legs so that I can skip steps like him.....I don't get it.... I mean seriously...he was not going to get any where faster....he had to wait for the bus like everyone else.....
TIP #9: If people would just grab the stick out of their asses...I think their outlook on life would be a much brighter one...or at least much more comfortable one.
We back to my Target trip, I got there and got a grip load of hangers and finally felt complete! But since it was still early and I knew the girls were not up yet, I decided to stop by Marshall's to look around a bit. I found myself in home section and found an amazing rug....take a look see! It was only $29.99.
I got home around 11ish and start to hang up my clothes and put my rug around the table....look...its already full! I feel at home now.... and my room is a mess! IT IS HOME!
I did not have anything planned for the day but Kathy finds out that 'Choke' just opened and wants to go see it..... I asked who is in the movie and she says Sam Rockwell and Angelica Houston. Those two names alone made me get off my computer chair....I mean I totally could have been at home blogging about nothing but I felt like this was a better choice......I hope....
...GO SEE IT!...
So we finally get off the couch and head out in the humid, rainy city. But 1st stop is Home Depot for the bed stablizers. Great invention!
Marc Ecko store window in ChelseaSo I have been craving some sushi since I got here...... All I wanted was GOOD sushi! What did I get... okay sushi, but found a new beer! Kirin Light! WOOOO WHOOOO!!!! Its all about the beer now.....Beer gut here I come! Follow in my Father's foot steps!
After the movie, we walk down to Chinatown to have a drink with Paolo at Fontana's. Before we walk in, the bouncer says to go all the way to the back......that's all he says.... we walk in and this place is packed! Right when we walk in we already saw people right at the door and eyes on us....I felt very violated...... after about 5 minutes in that place and not finding Paolo we walked right back out. On our journey of pushing people out of the way and side stepping to the front door I almost tripped a girl with my bag. I obviously apologize to her (like the nice person I am) but she looks back at me with the death stare.....I guess she did not want me to apologize...huh..... Well at that point...I wished I had just made her fall flat on her face.....
At this point, it is about 1am, so we walk to the train station to catch the train home. On our walk there.... we see Douche #3- we walks pass us saying 'Ching, chong, chen.' Apparently we were supposed to understand this, I start to look over at Kathy and at moment she says 'F YOU!'
So question..... do all Asians speak the same language? Do we all look the same? Or was this douche just trying to make us swoon over his ignorance? Please enlighten me...I would LOVE to know! Oh man....... I heart NY!
I walk up the stairs and there is grip load of people trying to get out onto the streets....walking up the stairs..I walk the pace everyone else on the stairs is walking....I get the surface and the Douche #4 behind me says under is breathe, 'F*** can you walk any faster.' I turn around and I looked at him with the death stare 'Uhhhhhhh ooooooookkkkkayyyyy.' I find Kathy and complain that people here are F***ing rude here. I mean seriously....was I supposed to zig and zag thru people walking up the stairs...cuz seriously.... we were like ants walking up the stairs....or was I supposed to grow longer legs so that I can skip steps like him.....I don't get it.... I mean seriously...he was not going to get any where faster....he had to wait for the bus like everyone else.....

9.26.08 Thongs and poo
The girls and I went to Angela's place in Greenbrook Brooklyn off the L train to check out her new pad that she just moved into a few months ago.... the girls called it a 'Slip and Slide'. The definition of a 'slip and slide' well, all I can remember right now is the girls getting together and DRINKING!
So the night consisted of..... frozen foods.... quiches, pizzas, mushroom turnovers, bags of chips, veggies and dip, garlic bread, hummus, mochi, and 7 bottles of wine for....ummmm about 7 girls...... AWESOME!
In between stuffing all of our pie holes.... Courtney and Monica told us about their Halloween costume for all of us.... Little Bo Peep and her sheep..... who is little Bo Peep... Kathy and we are the loyal followers.... I think the illustration explains it all!
Is this all we did this evening....nope! We had music from the musically inclined Angela
Stephanie trying to remember how to play the piano......Good attempt! If you asked her to play the accordion, you are in for a treat!
Stephanie and Courtney playing a duet
Courtney singing and playing the guitar (BTW I have video of this and it looks like she is singing to Monica.....Kinda funny)
Angela's Hello Kitty sewing machine! AWESOME!
COMMENTS???
A fuzzy photo of Amanda and Kathy....both are oddly giving me the finger....
SO..... I have a couple of things that happened on the train ride home....
Truffle mashed potatoes #1 on L train- lets just say he smelled really good! The entire ride I kept telling myself I need to ask him about his cologne..... but like a chicken ass I am.....there was a no go.
Sleeper #1-with comic book in hands- halfway thru our L train ride to the A train the comic book falls out of his hands and onto the floor. Sleeper #1 doesn't even flinch! Nice girl #1 picks up book for him and places it next to him (Nice girl #1 is totally not from NY, she was nice enough to pick up the book)
So the L train comes to its last stop and Amanda says she will hit him on the leg to make him wake up.....Attempt #1- doesn't move- Attempt #2-still doesn't move, Attempt #3- I nudge him on the leg-still doesn't move, Attempt #4- I say 'Sir, Sir' with a nudge- still doesn't move, Attempt #5- the train stops and the doors open- he finally wakes up! (why no photo you ask....ummmm....well, I am a chicken sh** and I thought he might wake up at mid-photo op and I would have gotten my a food sandwich!)
Quote #2: I don't like wearing thongs, they make you go poo.....

9.23.08 Happy Birthday Amanda w/ no Fried onions!!!!!
So it is Amanda's Birthday...remember...here is a photo to hit you over the head!
Kathy wanted to have a little get together for her Birthday and I decided it was a great time to bring out the Grommet Mac N' Cheese w/ Fried onions receipe-courtesy of Debbie! Okay, if you have not tried this Grommet Mac N' Cheese w/ Fried onions you have not fully enjoyed life! Just saying! So Kathy and I buy the ingredients the night before but were not able to find Fried Onions- This is the best part of the dish! I need the fried stuff, it makes me complete? Well, this did not sit well with me whatsoever!
Mission #1: Find Fried onions! (ummmm is it weird that I keep spelling friend instead of fried?)
Woke up...and did I have fried onions on my mind...... NO! It was pretty much............. COMMMPUTTERRRR.....ONNNNNN....NOOOOOOWWWWW...... yep...that was my day...in front of the computer until I had to leave for Amanda's at 5.
I leave for Amanda's with the WILL to find the fried onions! Places I went:
-Duane Reade, that was a bust
-I call Kathy to see if there are any grocery stores in the area and I talk to Amanda and she tells me to head west.... whatever that meant....I went in a direction and found whole foods. Also a bust....
-I see an Amish supermarket and try to test my luck...eventhough I am 30 minutes late already. I find Nutella for $2.00 (best deal ever!) and no friend onions. At this point I don't even want to make grommet mac n' cheese....what is this dish without the fried onions.....I do not want to know. I roam around the store a bit more and buy some brie, crackers, and grapes, I mean if I was coming late I need to bring a present right?
TIP #8: If you are late, YOU NEED TO BRING A PRESENT!
So leaving the store......I see Todd Oldham........ the designer.....walk by me....I turn around to make sure it was him....and oh my freaking googleness....it was him....then I thought I need to tackle him and ask for a job....Hey what do I have to loose right? Thought....but no action!
After seeing him I speed walk style it to Amanda's and am greeted by:
After the initial shock went away....I gave her the hug and greets!
Then I push her over to start making the mac n' cheese w/out friend onions. So while there I complaint to everyone that it will not be that good because I do not have the friend onions but everyone decides that we should put crumbled crackers on top to make it kinda crunchy..... I grumble a bit and cave in.
The end product....an amazing 1st try at grommet mac n' cheese w/ crumbled crackers.
Inbetween all this everyone starts to sip there wine with the straws.....huh...... Stephanie get poked in the eye with Kathy's my little pony hat, monika is on floor hysterically laughing her ass off, Alex gets tricked into coming to the girl fest, we get some sex education, and sarah is in the kitchen washing the cheese off the plates...... WHY oh WHY!

9.22.08 BLAH
The subject title explains it! What else do I need to say?
Oh random thoughts for the day......
-do I really need a job? I can just sew crap all day long and sell it on ebay. I mean people do it all the time! Why do I need to stress out about having a job already....WTF is wrong with me...... oh oh oh I know...I am F***ing Asian. Double WTF
-why is the laundry mat so expensive? New Goal #1: to own a laundry mat in NY
Went to do laundry before my phone interview. Walked with determination around the corner to Kleener King (pretty good name right!) with the intention to do an amazing job at putting in my clothes into the washer...remember separate colors (of course I already did this before I left the apartment-pat myself on the back).. (mental note-buy a grandma cart unless you want a grandma hump). Anyways I start to put my whites in one washer and put the laundry liquid (if you want to know Woolite) press cold wash cuz I don't want anything running anyways. I look at the coin slot to put my quarter in and it says $0.25- I think to myself sweet! Only $0.25 what a great deal! I am gonna do my laundry everyday! I put my quarter in and the window says $2.25. I 'figuratively' shit in my pants and pretty much cried. $2.50 per load! REMINDER: I am the cheapest person in the entire world (my bad if I talk about how expensive everything here is!)
I also want to get into drying my loads.....ahhhh hummmmm...... $0.25 per 6 minutes... I HEART NY!
While waiting for my loads to be done I sit down to read 'Fast Food Nation.' I won't go into the gory details about how they KILL THE ANIMALS WE EAT, but I will still eat meat anyways, its just nice to be informed.
Later that evening I complain to Kathy how expensive I think the laundry is and she goes to tell me that there is NEVER hot water in that laundry mat....if you press hot wash it is cold! Ummmm would be considered false advertisement? Can I sue? WTF! WTF! WTF!
The rest of the day was a bust....I think....mostly cuz I can't remember what happened (I DID NOT BLACK OUT!). Oh.....I had my phone interview...and that went well...I think...I stuttered a few times.... Kinda sad! :( and I worked on my portfolio....kinda.....more like surfed the web all day looking at blogs! Can I say that there are so many F***ing blogs out there it is sick! and sweet! I really can't decide yet!

9.19.08 Chelsea Golfing
Chelsea Golf range! I must say..... golf is totally boring and hard! I think I pulled a hamstring....
Can you see who the next Tiger Woods is?
Theere is always time for Jazz hands!oh ohohohohohohohoh guess who we saw today...... I didn't notice him... Kathy did....
does that count as celebrity #1????
9.18.08 CHA GIO FEAST?
After talking with Jill (the staffing agent) I decided I wanted to discover one part of the city and see if I could find any galleries.
I got to discover the East Village.
I took the A train to the L train that runs across town.
WELL, on the L train this Bum #1 comes into the car and starts to preach/yelling to us, let me see if I can remember what he said.......
-'you can at least look at me, we are all the same, black, white, Asian, Persian, Caucasian'
-'you are all hyprocrites'
-'all you with money and power should do some good, if you are THANK YOU! If you are not, stop bullshitting everyone and wake up!'
I have been scared numerous times, but he takes the wedding cake! I was seriously afraid to look at him, and if he asked for money, I would have given him everything!
I finally got off the L train and started to walk down 14th Ave and saw this pretty building blowing up smoke, like most NY'ers!
Isn't he pretty?
9th St Park (corner)
Gallery I went into. I reminded me of a blog kinda..... Gallery had photographs of friends, buildings, and things. I think all the photos were taken in Japan. What I really liked out of the gallery was an image of a side of an apartment building with clothes out on the fire escape drying.... my bad...I just looked up the website and the artist name is Haruto Hoshi. And the other image I liked was of a girl in her PJs in the middle of the street. I would totally steal the image (like the good Asian girl I am) but I do not want any headaches or you guys turning me in for shits and giggles! So check out the link below.... http://mwakasapresents.com/artists/hoshi/hoshi_w09.html
I do not know why I took this...
Okay there was totally good reason for this photo! Approximately 5 seconds before my stupid camera was ready to take the photo, this doggy was in full stride, walking nonchalantly, then all of the sudden he his on his stomach with all legs at 90 degree angles. Oh man! Stupid camera! that would have been an amazing shot! I mean don't get me wrong, this photo is good too with his sunglasses but only if! only if I was 2 seconds faster!
Red Door #1: I guess I am gonna start taking photos of doors now.....
Trying to take a photo very discreetly!
It reminds me of the Patel Family! Pray anywhere!
Pile of wood.
So.....walking around the East Village, I started to think about dog S***. Why you might ask...well.....the city is covered it! Uh huh! If you are too cool and are looking straight at head and not at the ground...you are gonna step in dog S***, NY'ers stop trying to look cool and watch for the S***!
Tip #7: Watch for the Dog S***, people here do not curb there dogs!
Anyways, I was thinking that one day I will be off guard and my shoe will be in dog S***, and thought it would be a great post! Who wants to see this post! I do! I do!
Outside Virgin Megastore. These guys were AMAZING! They were just rocking out!
34th St entertainer! I HAVE video!!! I love his dance moooves.
The color is amazing!
Charity man! Supposedly this guy walks around asking people to donate .25 to the charity. Kathy said that one time he came up to her and asked for a quarter and he full out yelled at her! People here are crazy! Well, did I want the chance of getting yelled at....ummmm no not so much! I forked over a quarter to save myself.
Smokers on Broadway! I HATE YOU ALL!
So Kathy and some friends decide they wanted Vietnamese. Usually my answer is F no! But it has been 2 weeks and no Vietnamese food. Oddly I was very happy to go. See how happy I am below.....
This is the sad attempt at trying to jump, click my feet with jazz hands... SOOO SAD indeed!
So while outside NHA TRANG, Kathy tries to say it. Let me tell you right now....she is Asian but she is not Vietnamese! She totally butchered the name, like how everyone who first meets me calls me JUAN or OWEN! After a few failed attempts....I just told her to stop....Lets just say it sounded like NEEEEEE CHEN.
So what did everyone order..... Courtney and Jayne order Pho. Kathy and I order Rice Vermicelli. Kathy gets it with beef and I get it with Cha Gio (for you non Vietnamese and some Vietnamese peeps ( I am soo disappointed)) it is egg rolls. I am totally psyched for this dinner and I get deflated with I take the 1st bite of the Cha Gio. Ummmm not soo good! I need to go Vietnamese restaurant hunting here otherwise I am gonna go CRAZY! To be continued on the treasure hunt for Vietnamese!
A really amazing vintage store in the Lower East side. It is vintage shoe Heaven!
After a few too many drinks at the Library in the East Village.....Courtney was feeling a bit bummed so we decide she needs to give me a piggy back ride! I love these! Mark you are you ready!
Walking and texting is very dangerous!
Pomme Frites
So while at the Library I get the cravings for french fries! Fries are sooo good after drinking! On the far right, that is the lucky gentleman that got our pomme frites we did not finish! Can you see how happy he is that he did not have to pay for food and that he has more money for drinks!
The PO PO on horsies!
So how did we end the night...We go to get sake bombs! Ummm.... not so good! I tell everyone I can't do a sake bomb cuz it will totally come back up! But everyone still demands I take one!
Roger orders edamame, dry squid, sake and 5 sake bombs. But I yell to 'Garlic Mashed Potatos (the bartender)' '4', then Kathy yells '5', and I yell back '4' and then I get death stares from everyone and shut up!
We are all enjoying (kinda) the sake, edamame and squid and then the sake bombs come!
Thankfully 'Garlic Mashed Potatos' brought only 4, I guess he knew I was weak sauce! hehehe If he brought one for me the PO PO on the horsies would have to take me home!
