'Cause it's Friday; you ain't got no job... and you ain't got shit to do.

So it’s been a pretty quiet week, nothing huge to report back to the home front. I did however realize I was skipping day after day of update and that is not good to do, slippery slope. The week was full but nothing huge:

Wednesday we had decided we were going check out the launch party of Missbehave magazine. Cate and I hit up red bamboo before hand which was nice since Mo was working, we got some fabulous vegan ice cream and vegan cheese cake as a very nice treat. I never really realize how much I don’t eat there very often anymore. I have kind of adopted this new way of wanting to eat and (by living with Eric) have actually unconsciously adapted my diet to the idea right now. The basic idea is to know what is in what you eat, to eat things that haven’t been processed beyond what they are intended to be, a sort of purist approach to food. I mean a little treat once in a while (like un-chick’n nuggets or some veggie sausage at brunch) is nice, but something that should be done in a little less than in moderation. I can really feel the effects of eating overly processed and overly fired food on my body (although I’ll never give up my French fry habit!). And I must say I am doing pretty well on avoiding the high fructose corn syrup…so continuing on form the PSA for eating stupid healthy food. Well, we ended up not going to the Missbehave Party, and not for a lack of trying. We stood in line for an hour, slowly making our way to the front with all the too cool for school American apparel looking (making me feel old at 25) NYU party kids. Then we just gave up. There were 10 million people in line and from what we had heard inside was very small, so we were basically standing in like to get into a room to be smashed into everyone we don’t know and more that likely I am going to guess it wouldn’t have been that fun. So Sara, Cate, and myself bid ‘adieu’ to the corner of 8th street and McDougal where we had wasted a good chunk of our lives waiting in a stupid line.

Thursday we had a meet and greet with the reps from Getty Images. It was good to actually see the person I talk to on the phone so much, and probably face to face be able apologize for the “actually, I needed to get the high res 15 minutes ago” panic in my voice at the end of closing. Eric came with me after taking the night off from his externship from Tocqueville and we sat down with Alex and her friend Laura in the perfect place to pounce on the servers with trays of food cut in to itty-bitty pieces. Lets see if you don’t have enough food for an event don’t cut it up smaller to last longer, that’s just insulting. After the event we went down to Chinatown and to this place I think it was called Joes… not sure. But it was RIGHT across the street from Vegetarian Dim Sum, it took everything I had not to tell my group that they could eat there and I would meet them after my scrumptious meal of veggie things. Oh I love that place to death. But I didn’t. I went to Joes and had some yummy bamboo shoots and mushrooms while everyone else sucked down duck and pork dumplings. We home early cause it was a school night! (As in work not really school)

Tonight I have some hot plans. Well they are relaxing and I get to spend sometime with Eric, which honestly is very rare. So in the three years I have lived in Carroll Gardens (west- yes that area just above red hook, just west of Carroll Gardens that just doesn’t really have a name but I think it was the best decision I could have made to call it home when I first came to NYC) I have never been to Grimaldi’s Pizza place. It always has a line stretching out the door and has a reputation that definitely precedes it. Eric and I have seen the lines while walking around or after visiting the Brooklyn Ice Cream Company under the Brooklyn Bridge, but I have never ever actually gone. So tonight that is my plan. To eat there, then either go home and enjoy the intellectual stylings of Jessica Simpson and Dane cook via Employee of the Month courtesy of Netflix. See now let me explain something, this is why I don’t have a open account and add friends to mine and Eric’s Netflix account, because I know you WILL make fun of my movie choices- so ashamed like I am I hide my secret addition to watch movies that peek my interest but not peek it $10.75 worth. See I admit it openly! Then we might try to make some plans to see Bob and Courtney, because it’s been a long time since we have all gotten together and they most defiantly are good company to keep.

Will do my best to bring out the camera some more, esp. since Saturday is supposed to be beautiful! I like taking pictures and having them with what I do even if it’s mundane, just been too busy to keep up on it.

Have a good weekend!
