it's been 10 years since 13st 911.

both nights i was wasted the night before.

 

 

next week.  im going to martha's vineyard for a wedding.  the entire planning for this trip has turned into this backwards nightmare for me.  flying driving training and ferrying all take 5 hours and all cost a fortune.  bed and breakfast accommodations run the same price as a 5 star ritz carlton yet the pictures show a dinky cottage style bed with blue walls and baby room decor.  i've been to newport and for the same reasons i dont like the hamptons (regardless of being there last weekend), the appeal of $$ and the trek up to mvy does not seem that exciting.  we'll make the best of it.  it will be fun because its us and there will be alcohol.  that quaint back to the future town of the local pharmacy and oversized pancakes don't work for me.  not yet at least.  and when u look at all the websites of train station and how to get there, they show pictures of 1970s america and one japanese translation link.  and seriously, 

"what is the deal with the american obsession with the light house." it's just a tall phallic building that shines lights to direct ships.  GAH.

"Pure evil. This frightening Hell Spawn of Kathie Lee and Betty Crocker seems on a mission to kill her fans, one meal at a time. She Must Be Stopped. Her death-dealing can-opening ways will cut a swath of destruction through the world if not contained. I would likely be arrested if I suggested on television that any children watching should promptly go to a wooded area with a gun and harm themselves. What’s the difference between that and Sandra suggesting we fill our mouths with Ritz Crackers, jam a can of Cheez Wiz in after and press hard? None that I can see." —Ruhlman

 

indeed...this is the best bourdain quote...

i want american brunch.  penelope had 1h20m wait.  so...off to maialino -2 Lexington Ave New York, NY 10010. (212) 777-2410

im pretty proud of myself.  all these "errands" that have been piling up are getting done.  and it just took a week to do.  i bought clothes. i bought shoes. i got my suits tailored.  our mvy transports are booked.  sunglasses are sent out.  credit card thefts are settled.  and epca meetings and flights sorted out.  

"yea you like shopping.  i literally turn my head and 5 items on your arm turn into 10.  we make one circle around a 4 pronged hangar of clothes and there comes 5 more items on the arm.  here hold this."

"where is your go to place?  what is a typical nyc night out?...forget what others would do.  whats your typical nyc night out?"

"you act my age.  i keep forgetting you have 5 years on me.  u're good.  you throw in these compliments.  i would catch those and u would never have a chance." 

so how did i win u over then?

yuca.  111 ave A.  and drinks.  lots of drinks @ century bar.

"relinquish control and stop judging on the resume.  it's good for u.  and u owe them a chance.  being all up in ur face finance person is not the gold standard of successful man."

Is Taping Your Eyes To Look Asian The New Blackface?

The fashion industry and off-color references have existed as far as camera crews could fly to the Serengeti, and this latest iteration of race-inspired "homages" has us feeling queasy. For this Vogue Nippon editorial, Anna Dello Russo dressed Crystal Renn up in spangly Dolce & Gabbana duds and taped her temples to pull her eyes back into an almond, Asian shape. Body modification has been a topic of interest ever since Gaga explored face "implants," but is eye-taping just about experimenting with form and shape with your body (as opposed to your clothes—which is what fashion is all about), or is there something more icky going on here? Is it better because it's in an Asian magazine? Does it matter if it's two white ladies making an editorial for primarily Asian women? What about Asian women who get eyelid surgery to appear white? Check out the video below and sound off—do you think this is offensive or just avant-garde? (Styleite)





 

the best part of the bbq is the play list.  summer time dj's on air or the at home dj always plays every summer hit the past 20 years.  and as each song comes on from nelly to aerosmith to whatever else that brings u back to your high school days, you sit back and wonder, where was i when i first heard this song.  or my fondest memories of that moment of that summer.  where was i?
