Day 100, Baby!

I can't believe we've been at this 100 days. Here's to 265 more!

It's Day 100.... what!!

at last!! the first time i tried to catch this gem it just didn't happen. but today.... today i persevered! new york kind of smells like one giant "butt can", no? Also while we're discussing butt cans, all i have to say is.... A train. mmhmm. i think my fellow A train riders know just what i'm speaking about.

gnight all and happy day 100!!

Day 99 wants its mommy

Dunkin' Donuts is all decked out for the holidays. Christmas tree with charity donation tags, crepe paper angels and trees hanging from the ceiling, sexual animal decals on the windows... Seriously, what are they doing?? Inapprope.

Day 98 can feel the glow

Walking home I noticed the trees were lit up (sometimes they're not to conserve energy maybe?) and, with the snow having fallen two weeks before and freezing in place (you think I'm kidding), the lights underneath lit up the snow. I just thought it was so cool I had to snap a photo.

Ps. There were MAJOR technical difficulties and thus I have three day's worth to post today. Sorry!

day 99: moving slowly

unlike this 6 train (which decided to go express past me, yay.) my day crawled by. this was not helped by the fact that my body and head was in complete misery and pain. i'm doped up on nyquil and robitussin so.... i should stop typing. hopefully tomorrow i'll be a person.

gnight

day 98: recession special!

oh, what a recession we're in. today i debated for about 3 minutes whether or not it was financially sound for me to spend $6 on a carton of orange juice. You'd think there would be a deal on OJ seeing as we're in an economic black hole.

You know who did get the recession memo? Ben & Jerry's.
For less than $1 you can grab a delicious soft serve cone. What i was more fascinated by were the hours specified. It's almost as though they assume you won't have a job if you want this ice cream. Who can go over there between 9am and 5pm on a workday? That just seems a little unreasonable to me.

gnight!

day 97: what's it called??

When i first encountered the little food place in new york known as "hot & crusy" I reacted with uncomfortable giggles. This later became confusion, followed closely by disgust then eventually where I am now.... which is a quick shake of the head and eye roll whenever I go by one of these places. Is no one else bothered by their choice of name?? Is it just me??

Anyway, walked by this gem today and couldn't help but laugh out loud. enjoy!

Day 97 is walkin' in a winter wonderland

Beautiful! Snow! Winter! White! FREEEEEEEEEEEEZING. I'm done playing winter. Can I go back home now to flip flops and beaches? Please?!

Day 96: Outside's in.

Continuing in my elevator series, this one is a little different. It's not technically an elevator on the outside, but it is see-through. I'm a very curious little boy and I like to see how things work so this one makes the cut. Plus, I like the reflection of the subway station in the glass. It may be 12 degrees outside but elevators make me feel warm and fuzzy.

day 96: another soho gem

your weekend (and holiday) message is this:

according to a piece of wood stuck into the side of a building on Spring St. and Crosby St. ya'll better share a smile! Does this mean I have to stop checking the stock market and spreading that gloom around my office? I think so....

gnight!

Day 95 would like to buy a vowel

I pass this sign every night on the train home. I don't know what it is about it, but I just love it. It's lovingly nostalgic? Maybe? Or... beautifully photogenic? I don't know. I just think it's cool. I'm always past it by the time I remember to pull out my camera so I always hope the other side will be burnt out too but it's not. Last night though... huzzah! Victory! Almost complete victory... But you get the point.

Ps. Sorry this is late. Technical difficulties...

day 95: obama is not a tranny

When i first saw this tonight I thought it said "Tranny Obama". i completely bypassed the others words, somehow misread tyranny and then got really confused. This has nothing to do with trannies or obama (not) being one of them... just to clear that up.

also, soho is actually the best place on earth for discovering little graffiti treats like this.

gnight!

day 94: looking up

apparently.... this is art. i kid you not, this is part of an art exhibit on Grand St. downtown. maybe its working because it got me to stop and that is no easy task when i've got my eye on getting to the A train as fast as my feet can take me, not yielding for pedestrians, tiny dogs or crazy cat callers. but this.... i think it has something to do with the MTA. i think these rats are little track rats that crawl around in the train tracks and then dash to safety right before an oncoming train crushes them. they're looking up at us, as we look down on them, both wondering what the hell the other is doing.

or they're just plastic rats in a window and I'm sleep deprived.

Day 94 likes the classics

It's finally happened. They've created a bagel so ridiculous I'm offended by it. This doesn't happen easily. I'll eat almost anything bagel-related. I'm incredibly skilled at eating bagels. By far my favorite food. This, however, brings up a lot of feelings I need to work through: shock, horror, anger, depression, anxiety, sadness, fear... I'm hereby boycotting Einstein Bros. Bagels. Until the next time I'm hungry.
