dinner and good wine at the MEATball shOp!

vanessa discovered the meatball shop on stanton near the corner of allen and we took our minnesota friend billy from work out on tha town (w miko and rodney too) for wine and balls. the food is pretty good and cheap! and you can get reg meatballs, chicken , veggie or pork. different sauces and sides and $6 by the glass red wine- deelish! food is reasonably priced and the side are damn good. mashed potatoes and white bean sides were reallly good as is the salad. good times and a lot of bitching about work was had! OH and they have amazing ice cream sandwiches made with cookies and or brownies. smile.

can someone pweese get me a WICKET?? :(

i don't need to say anything here...

not much to say this monday

it was pouring cats and dogs when i left work this am and happened to be one of the only mornings i had to walk a bit further to the car! poooor me. wah. on top of that its MONDAY and since people are scared to drive in the rain there was redic traffic.

this weekend was chill, watched a dope documntry on banksy (of who i am now realizing i will never be able to afford and own a real original work). i like his stuff and a few other "street artists" not bc i think it's so hip to be naughty (and illegal)- but bc i like the stuff!

saturday finally went beck to nonna (it had been at least a couple weeks) w a bottle of wine, good company, and then to RAT bar which i don't care what anyone says- is the best bar in bklyn. oh- it's not really called rat bar and its on the corner of n 5th and bedford.

sunday was lazy time, bagel time and hours of great amusing tv. poop on the work week!

umm best pic ever is attached that i snapped on the way to felicia's house. when i took the pic and then started naming the folks out loud in the car- felicia thought i was getting angry and cursing. ha! guess you had to be there... but i was all "JESUS, MOTHER TERESA, MARTIN LUTHER KING" and she was like "what? oooh. i thought you were upset". haaahhaaha

LOVIN this

already excited for halloween

help me choose! i like a few of these (a lot). i also love the avatar costume but uh, its a turtle neck unitard. i'm torn between DONKEY (form shrek of course) and sailor gal?? pizzas should obvi belong to liz but now that she has ruined me and gotten me addicted i could do it too!

i was robbed as a child!

i needed this then and i need it now- if someone can find me one! *please note the electronic console!!! i'm throwing a tantrun as we speak. i bet this thing was $150 back in the day - now easily 1k!

milkin as much time as i can these days at 460 manhattan

in denial abt laa leaving for san fran. i'm good at that until the time gets real close- then i'll just go into angry stage- then depression stage. BOOOO, not sure what i will do when i can't go be on her sofa w her and chill. need to become a preferred virgin america member and rack up airline points!

LARA i will miss you so!

:(

effing cool

number 6 is my fav i think! alice in wonderland (#2) is pretty entertaining as well. # 9 pisses me off

splice my wrists!

watched (and forced someone else who will probably never forgive me) 'splice' sunday and will never get that hour and 37 minutes of my life back! didn't know adrian brody would do such a film (didn't even know he was in it) but what i really didn't know was that adrian would f$ck a hybrid alien-man-rat-reptile-woman-bird with a scorpion tail! scuse me?! i couldn't make this shit up! aaaanyway this movie has so much grodie mutant weird looking creatures (at least make them look cool!) and wanna be science that i'd rather watch the jersey shore. that says a lot bc i refuse to watch the shore. maybe if i would have looked at the movie poster before deciding to watch i would have thought twice. i only wanted to watch bc i heard liz and russ' shrieks from the living room one night and could only assume that's bc it was GOOD (not the case).

i will miss my matty

on to greener pastures.... our famed and loveable (and only) copywriter is leaving us to move to portland for a dope program w WK agency. farewell matty! i will so miss yelling at you daily!

BRiaN!

can't wait for the show--- pending i don't go home and go to bed ;)

pretty (no pun) effing genius!

must have of the week! some of these nail/makeup companies are brilliant for partnering w animated films lately (o.p.i did it w shrek and alice in wonderland and now mac w disny classic villians!) the packaging is cool and the concept and the names of the products are as well. names for lipstick/powders and eye color are things like: sinister, strange, potion and bad fairy! adore... is there a cooler old evil lady than cruella? i think not!

bak bok bok

not much to squawk about. mom just left sunday and i miss her already! we ate, we laughed we had drinks w gwen stefani and gavin (well we sat in very close proximity to them at the hotel bar). we ran all around brooklyn and manhattan and even to the brooklyn navy yard nypd tow lot! since the bastards decided to tow my car!? for the first time ever and has to happen when mom's here!?? what else? i have almost completed my mini star wars collection (am only missing c3po)... ready for this weekend and NO obligations that i can think of as of now. word! attached are pics- some of which i am proud of- some not too much (i.e. dinner last night at the whisky brooklyn: 2 pitchers, nachos, quesadilla, mozz sticks, veggies, waffle fries)

too many people to entertain... all i wanna do is lay around

it so happens that all my friends came in town at the same time- all this week. fun stuff but when you feel like you have to cram a bunch of face time in it's not too cool. all i really wanna do is hang in brooklyn, drink at the new bar i found and act like an old man (or woman i suppose). alls i wanna do is chill. BUt i shall not complain abt NUTHIN bc i am out at 3pm today and done for the week! murhahahah

pic of the week attached and might i say the winning caption of the week and i quote: "its like twilight but edward and jacob r mentally challenged" ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! btw- saved this pic on my desktop as "twi-tards" pretty proud of that one as well....

happy freakin hump day!

summer is ova

stink! summer time and sandal time is coming to a close which means battling school traffic, chilly weather and earlier sunsets. i spent this lazy labor day weekend w laa (bandler) and fear it is close to one of our last love affairs in peace :) yes one would think we are in fact married.... tears in the park, lots of food, lots of sofa and a few pickle backs. boo! what else? not that much-- ready for a short work week due to taking days off for the jewish new year and because i WANT TO!

*note* have the travel itch and want to go to london soon as well as home to the ville! or even upstate or ANYWHERE just wanna get away for a sec. its been too long.

checked out the whisky brooklyn and was impressed w the bar food menu and the chill vibe. can't wait to make this the new jam! attached is a (realllly blurry) photo of tom lawless whisky made and bottled by justin and his bro!

cheers to a super short work week!

lil distraught today

for a couple of reasons i feel that i'll be a mess today. one reason is that the formal email went out about my nearest and dearest girlfriend's acceptance of an amazing job offer in SAN FRAN (a lil too far away for my liking). :( while super excited for her am a tad selfish and scared about wht i will do without her. sad face. good luck lara! you fab woman you!

drag me to hell

the name of this film is appropriate since watching it feels like one has in fact been dragged to hell having had to sit though the hilarious scenes of face eating, blood barfing and cat puking :) i actually quite liked the redic-ness of it! i laughed thru a good portion of it... i won't ruin the end for you since you should see it but there is a possible happy ending (maybe).

happy hump day!
