Esthetic/Aesthetic

We were kidding at the time about the governor...

During the Chinese New Year celebration, while I was shopping for Chinese candy in the Chinese candy store (who wants pickled figs?), there was a great amount of excitement on the street.  Eliot Spitzer was on his way down!  How exciting.  I rushed out just in time to see him duck into a building across the street.  I found it a little strange that it wasn't so much a "hang out with the people" walk as it was an urgent "must get to where I need to go"  walk.  And then we made all the appropriate happy ending jokes. 

Caucuses

Someday I'd like to live somewhere where I get to go to a caucus rather than just voting.  It seems like mayhem, political mayhem.

Things I DO not want

I have a mad obsession with Etsy recently.  As I was looking around tonight I came across this skirt.

This skirt is available in whatever color you think best represents your lady parts.  How many dare points would I get if I wore this on a date?

Please - Enough of the tattoos

The stencils says "PLEASE - ENOUGH OF THE TATTOOS, LOGOS, PIERCINGS, SKULL + CAMO WEAR.  Your cliche-ridden (non)sense is LAME and EXTREMELY MAINSTREAM."

The writing, "Stop taking yourself so seriously - yawn."

Reason #814 I love New York

Franklin Street meet Franklin Place.

Everyone write on my door

I cannot believe Bravo cut off the end of Project Runway.  If it wasn't for the internet or repeats I'd be calling up the big wigs to wake them up and demand my own personal viewing.  Fierce.

Wafels and Dinges in Park Slope

I have a confession, part of my desire to see Belgium was for the possibility of eating waffles bought on the street.  (Which I became a huge fan of in Amsterdam).  I'm not a fan of waffles for breakfast but sweet, crispy waffles with powdered sugar on them eaten while walking down the street?  Heaven!  My verdict of Wafels and Dinges are that the waffles were not nearly as sweet as I remember (and I ate A LOT of them) but they definitely filled that desire that overtakes me occasionally and I have to stop myself from hopping the next flight to Amsterdam or Brussels in order to have a waffle.  (And I also found myself not nearly covered enough with powdered sugar after eating while walking.)  Ever since I found out about Wafels and Dinges I've been terrified of coming across the truck, knowing I would not be able to say no, but I quite enjoyed it.
