Dear Diary,
Yes, I know that I haven't written to you in a really long time. Ho hum, blah blah blah sucks to be you; I'm not here to talk about that. What we ARE going to talk about is my crazy Aunt Susan and her crazy workout routine. No joke- she gets up every morning and choreographs dance moves. She is convinced that this is helping her stay fit.
I don't really know how to introduce this video/my family so I guess you will have to see for yourself. It is really bizarre. But go on YouTube and vote for it OK!?
Let's make her an Internet star too! --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ka9nL7bQdM

PS: I went to a wedding this weekend where she be bustin' out the moves to Sound Factory. I'ma try to git you Jingle Bellz vers. 2 stat!
PPS: I just embedded a video. Cool!

This site is AWESOME!!! --> http://www.bigrockcandymountain.blogspot.com/
Lots of great mp3s for rock, roll and good times.

My Grandmother is an Internet Star!!!

2007-01-29T11:25:00.000-05:00

My grandmother is an internet star. Certain members of my family were convinced that she was not being treated properly at home. As a result, they decided to set up four separate webcams, accessible via the internet so that all 1,024 members of our family could check in on her.

If we want to help me check in on her, you can email me for the website and password!

It's pretty fun. kind of like playing "where's waldo." I can't find her right now and it's making me kind of sad. I think she's in the sock room (my aunt got upset-understandably-and covered up one of the cameras with a sock)...

I love grandma. She's awesome. I can't believe how famous she's become. It's pretty outstanding.

Here is a photo of her! I can't wait to visit her the next time I go back home!!!

ps/ update: I FOUND HER!!! SHE IS EATING LUNCH RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!

Happy National Poetry Month!

2006-04-07T13:51:00.000-04:00

Now here is a poem about snuggling. I particularly like the 2nd stanza:

Close, close all night
the lovers keep.
They turn together,
in their sleep,

close as two pages
in a book
that read each other
in the dark.

Each knows all
the other knows,
learned by heart
from head to toes.

-Elizabeth Bishop

Now here is a picture of some cute kittens:

Things This Spring

2006-03-31T13:18:00.000-05:00

... which make me feel so privileged to be a part of the city:

1) The Fall playing yet again at the Knitting Factory
2) The play production of Elizabeth Bishop's life: A Safe Harbor for Elizabeth Bishop
call 212.279.4200 for more info.!
3) Springtime weather in PPK!!! (hello BBQ!)
4) WNYC (as always)
5) possible daycations with my friends
6) losing my winter weight (5 lbs. =( )
7) Whitney Bi.- I don't care what they say, it's still worth seeing
... even tho I haven't seen it yet but ... well... I like the principle of it!
8) that's all I can think of now

That's right readers! I'm baaacccckkkkkk.
Sorry for the long hiatus. I was really lazy.
Winter descended its long period of blistering lethargy.

In other news, I am going to try to drop off resumes today so I can make $ during the weekends too. I might become a shopgirl again. Well, these places will certainly not be like Atomic Passion. Wish me luck!
Also wish me luck on my impending tooth infection.

Update, Poem of the Week

2005-10-31T23:32:00.000-05:00

Hello Everybody!

My, it's been so long. I know, I am a terrible blogger and do the whole service an injustice with my lackadaisical entries. But what can I say? I am a very lazy girl.

In any case, lots to update on. I lost Radio, but got Ice Cream (cat #1). I lost Ice Cream (due to circumstance beyond my control) but gained Tinker (cat #2). And now he is a lovely white creature who is proud and stout, more stout than proud. Sometimes he will talk to you. At present, he is on my bed taking a brief cat nap. Pictures t/c.

Now, here is a poem. I will be sure to post Pack's piece next time (which will hopefully be sooner rather than later).

One Art by Elizabeth Bishop

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

--Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied.  It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

Goodbye Radio!

I Am Radio the Rabbit... (check out my blog with pics.!)

Reply to: anon-97174483@craigslist.org
Date: 2005-09-13, 12:57AM EDT

and I am extremely cute. However, with the ensuing winter chill, it looks like I will soon be evicted from my rooftop penthouse. I will sorely miss my humanoid companion but I understand, it's for my own safely. So now I am looking for a new apt. complete with a nice roommate and a big heart. Willing to pay $800-$1000 pellets a month but please, no republications or psychos. And no, I will not roam around the house naked for your edification.

Some more things about me: I am only 30+ weeks old; I think I am a girl but I could just be gender neutral; I am more or less litterbox trained (esp. in my own cage and small rooms); love kids; love to s-n-u-g-g-l-e; a hit at parties (I have a knack with jokes). I also have an awesome Gobstopper coat- it changes color every couple of weeks... I'm like magic!

I come complete with my own accoutrements (cage, leash, pan, cedar house) and it all cost me like, a billion dollars but if you could just help out with $50 or something like that it would be great.

In any case, take a look at my jpegs and read my blog as well: http://radiotherabbit.blogspot.com/.
Interested? E-mail me!

[heart],

Poem of the Week #2 - Courtesy of Mr. Pack Bringley

2005-09-07T23:44:00.000-04:00

... one of our resident poets who will drop in from time to time to curate some work.
This week, Pack presents a young poetess by the name of Adrian Keith Smith, hailing from New Zealand. She is only four but I trust that you will find her insight dazzling and full of universal truths.

RAIN

The rain screws up its face
and falls to bits.
Then it makes itself again.
Only the rain can make itself again.

Thanks Pack! And for those of yous who would like to check out Sir Bringley's own work (published, to boot!), here's a link: http://www.thediagram.com. Alas, my favorite Bringley poem to date is not on the site but perhaps we will save this fruitful bauble for another post.

Poem of the Week #1

2005-08-30T18:47:00.000-04:00

what ensues is an extraordinary poem by a gentleman who went by the name of skee-lo during the early ninties. note the repetition, stead in rhythm, and clever alliteration.
what a pensive man!

"I Wish" by Mr. Skee-Lo

Hey, this is radio station w-s-k-e-e
We're takin' calls on the wish line
Making all your wacky wishes come true

Hello

1-i wish i was little bit taller,
I wish i was a baller,
I wish i had a girl who looked good
I would call her
I wish i had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six four impala

I wish i was like six-foot-nine
So i can get with leoshi
Cause she don't know me but yo she's really fine
You know i see her all the time
Everywhere i go, and even in my dreams
I can scheme a way to make her mine
Cause i know she's livin phat
Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball
So how am i gonna compete with that
'cause when it comes to playing basketball
I'm always last to be picked
And in some cases never picked at all
So i just lean up on the wall
Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls
Who came to watch their men ball
Dag y'all! i never understood, black
Why the jocks get the fly girls
And me i get the hood rats
I tell 'em scat, skittle, scabobble
Got hit with a bottle
And i been in the hospital
For talkin' that mess
I confess it's a shame when you livin' in a city
That's the size of a box and nobody knows yo' name
Glad i came to my senses
Like quick-quick got sick-sick to my stomach
Overcommeth by the thoughts of me and her together
Right?
So when i asked her out she said i wasn't her type
(rpt 1, 1)

I wish i had a brand-new car
So far, i got this hatchback
And everywhere i go, yo i gets laughed at
And when i'm in my car i'm laid back
I got an 8-track and a spare tire in the backseat
But that's flat
And do you really wanna know what's really whack
See i can't even get a date
So, what do you think of that?
I heard that prom night is a bomb night
With the hood rats you can hold tight
But really tho' i 'm a figaro
When i'm in my car i can't even get a hello
Well so many people wanna cruise crenshaw on sunday
Well then i'ma have to get in my car and go
You know i take the 110 until the 105
Get off at crenshaw tell my homies look alive
Cause it's hard to survive when your livin'
In a concrete jungle and
These girls just keep passin' me by
She looks fly, she looks fly
Makes me say my, my, my
(rpt 1, 1)

I wish i was a little bit taller...
I wish i was a baller...
I wish i was a little bit taller y'all
I wish i was a baller (3)

Hey, i wish i had my way
'cause everyday would be a friday
You could even speed on the highway
I would play ghetto games
Name my kids ghetto names
Little mookie, big al, lorraine
Yo you know that's on the real
So if you're down on your luck
Then you should notice how i feel
Cause if you don't want me around
See i go simple, i go easy, i go greyhound
Hey, you , what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Ahhhh, yes, ain't that fresh?
Everybody wants to get down like dat
(rpt 1, 1)

I wish, i wish, i wish...

my park

2005-08-30T01:57:00.000-04:00

dear diary-

boy! am i sleepy. but i want to share with you a formula for a good time:
1 bicycle + 1 late august summer in the city + prospect park at night + some methol cigs. + listening to the library of brian jonestone massacre on the jerk box while whizzing down the trails = A REALLY GOOD TIME!

ok, this posting is lame but try it anyway, oK?!

***ALSO, for you lucky nonexistent readers, from now on i am going to do something called poem of the week. maybe you can figure out what that entails***
100101010100000000011111111111111111111111101010111111111111111111111

Guns and Bread

2005-08-23T20:45:00.000-04:00

Dear Diary,

I am listening to G&R right now and it is so fuggin' fantastic. I feel like I've been reacquainted with my high school crush. For those of yous in NYC, if you haven't already, be sure to check out Cakeshop on Ludlow (right before you hit Rivington, a couple of doors down from Piano's). They are a cafe/ record store/ bar. Haven't been a drinkin' at the bar part yet but I recommend the hole in the wall cd section. That's where i scored my used $8 G&R Greatest Hits and I have been happy ever since. Seriously, it's not like they are trying to be Kim's or OM or anything. If anything, they are filling in a niche where real people can't afford to drop like, $100000 on a mediocre record. Well, so maybe Cakeshop might have some out of date, mediocre records but at least they aren't lying and charging $2000000.

Ok, subject #2 (which brings us to the bread part):
I realized today that I spend about $10-12/weekday on food (and that's if I'm doing well and eating whatever junk i have at the apt.). That adds up to around $350/ month on food and this is all really off the top of my head so I haven't even thought about groceries... AW, the point is, this is an exorbitant amount and really peeves me because I could be buying so many cute shoes and nice clothes at I Heart!!! So I'm going to try to bring my lunch to work (www.harrisoutdoorgroup.com!!! no joke!!!!!!!!) and I don't know, just eat less I guess.
Because for instance, $350 could buy me roughly 2 of these:

Now, I caved in already and bought them yesterday even though I can't afford them but see, maybe if i stopped eating so expensively I wouldn't have to worry about buying cute-ass shoes.
Thoughts? If any of you out there have any tips, well, I am soliciting and am eager to hear.

Thanks!

Yours truly,
t.

TV Poem

2005-08-22T01:00:00.000-04:00

I am not feeling particularly melancholy* right now but thought to post this poem anyway. It is the epigram in Hardy's Return of the Native. This truncated passage is very nice and I hope you like it.

"To sorrow
I bade good morrow,
And thought to leave her far away behind;
But cheerly, cheerly,
She loves me dearly;
She is so constant to me, and so kind.
I would deceive her,
And so leave her,
But ah! she is so constant and so kind."

- John Keats

* In fact, truth be told, I am feeling quite joyous as I have a date with the Time Warner cable guy this weekend! That's right, folks! I am finally getting cable. I don't care- I love TV and consummerism and not (absolutely not) American Idol but I do love some VH1 shows, and Bewitched and that finance girl on one of those MSNBC/ CNN shows where she's always telling you to
1) contribute to your 401K to its match ptn. and then
2) pay off your debts, and then
3) save for a down payment for a house
do you know who i am referring to!? isn't she so full of crack but also so charismatic!? i just can't take my eyes off of her.
Anyway, back to TV. So i am finally getting it and no one can stop me and i am soo excited and whatever shall i wear on this extraordinary date?!? Thoughts?

Camping Trip Finale

2005-08-15T21:40:00.000-04:00

Among the various Savoy wildlife, 2 ladybugs mating...

Campsite at night. Mike told scary ghost stories.

Sorry guys- but I had to paste the obligatory couples photo.

Group photo numero 101, with the weather machine.

Here's another great screensaver for you kids! Isn't it so VanGogh?!
I'm calling it Hazy Night

Camping Trip Continued, Part III

2005-08-15T21:25:00.000-04:00

Looking for the Loch Ness monster...

Figuring out our gameplan of getting lost.

Mr. Creepshow. NC even scopes it in the woods!

Mike looking for his true love, Nessie.
"But I love her..."

May I just remark here how all-inclusive this group was?
We even incorporated Pinky!

Camping Trip Continued

2005-08-15T21:04:00.000-04:00

Campsite 32. We never used 31; 32 was far superior.

Except for Sam who made us get lost all the time, we kids are truly 2 kewl 4 school.
(NC looks like he knows what he's doin' but he doesn't really- he made us get lost a lot too. jk!)

Here I am, throwing pinecones before I ran into the forest masturbators and the scary stick man.

On our 2nd/ last day, the boys decided to forego Mass MoCA and go golfing. It was a pretty dull time at first but they had fun which made me have fun ;).
Look at that swing!

Here's Michael H. and Mr. New Yorker having another one of their fights over Jesus; Mary; primal/ primitive art; watermelons; peanuts; who's hotter; and God knows what.
I'm just peepin' it. I think they're both wrong.

Camping Trip Aug. 6-7th, 2005 - Savoy Mountains of Western Mass.

2005-08-15T20:45:00.000-04:00

Finally! Photos from the Savoy Mtns. trip. I think the general agreement is that fun was had by all and that we could not have had a better group of kids. I was going to try to make this posting somewhat cohesive in one long narrative form but alas, my blogging skills are still at a loss. That's ok- these pictures speak for themselves.
So we had a bit of car trouble. The trunk decided it wanted to stay open. This is us being unhelpful and chewin' on some doughnuts.
"Uhhh, dude. Your trunk's open."

At our campsite. #32. Patrick is in the branches peepin' it.

Along the way we ran into 2 gay dudes who pretended to be peeing but were really jerkin' it.

And promptly after that, a crazy man who wanted to kill us kids. He calls himself "John Kerry".
Though he seems to go by that Teddy Roosevelt saying, "walk softly and carry a big stick."

Here are some backseat drivers!

Pictures of the Cloisters

2005-07-26T00:18:00.000-04:00

NOT taken during the Fourth of July but I thought to share these anyway.

The Cloisters is such a nice getaway from the city- I recommend this place as well. Be sure to check out the archived New Yorker article on the Unicorn Tapestries for context before you actually go. The piece is scintillating- very well written and highly moving!

Unfortunately, the pics. were taken with a not so great throwaway camera from Target so you'll just have to take my word that the Cloisters is a marvelously good time. oK!?!

At the L-Town BBQ

2005-07-26T00:15:00.000-04:00

You know that uber-famous painting of the midwestern couple standing in front of their barn with a pitchfork?! We'll this is our interpretation of it- taken during Judy's 4th of July BBQ. It was lots of fun although Radio almost got mulled by their dog, Brains. (whew!)

More on Fire Island

2005-07-26T00:13:00.000-04:00

This is from one of the island's many forests. Doesn't this make for a great screensaver?!
There were many more wonderful shots but to be honest, I ran out of film or something like that.

Fire Island Weekend!

2005-07-26T00:10:00.000-04:00

This was during the 4th of July weekend. Fire Island is marvelous. I recommend this wholesome funness to everyone!

Epiphany

2005-07-01T00:13:00.000-04:00

Wow everybody! I checked my blog and just realized how much better-looking it is with pictures! From now on I'm going to try to make this into an online photo album!!!

Pic. 2

2005-07-01T00:05:00.000-04:00

So this is Radio looking all sexy-cuddly. Don't ya dig the soft-focused sepia effect? This one's courtesy of Newsday (Jeff my roommate). He's hooked up with this awesome digital camera with a million functions and a giant zoom and he just snaps away! I'm sure he took a lot more photos of the BBQ so I'll have to snag those too.

By the way, if you are bored, be sure to check out this blog: www.tront.blogspot.com. It's great.

Ok, i'm sleepy now. sorry the text was boring but whatever, you can look at these pictures.

Pictures!

2005-06-30T23:58:00.000-04:00

So check it! I finally hassled Trent into giving me pics. of the BBQ I threw a couple of weekends ago. And he posted them on a secret site- thanks Trent!

So what do you thing?! don't the clouds look crazy? I had such a great time that day and was so worried that no one would come but that we'd run out of food nonetheless. But many people came and the food was plentiful and I had fun even though I had to host.

Okay, now I'm going to post another pic. ,,,

Hi Everybody!

2005-06-27T21:15:00.000-04:00

So I haven't "blogged" in a really long time and was worried that I wouldn't even be able to update if I wanted to but lo and behold!, I was lucky on the first guess of my user name and password. So much has happened since my last posting. I found a great place to live right off of the park (slope, that is) and I'm now interning at this event production/ PR place for a cool pub. in Soho. I really like the idea of working in soho even though it means $12 lunches that I can't afford from Dean & Deluca. I hate that place. Everything about it is so inflated.

Anyway, I have a bunny and her name is Radio!!! She's great but poops everywhere and it's really annoying. I'm trying to potty train her like a cat but so far it doesn't seem to work. I think she's regressing. Maybe if you are good I will post some glamour shots of her from my last BBQ!

Let's Get Personal

First off, this is going to sound terrible but sometimes I think my mom hates me. Yup, that's right. Apparently, a college degree from NYU doesn't get me anywhere and no one will ever give me a decent job and I am worth nothing so I better come home. Great.

So many things have and haven't happened. I haven't really progressed that much career-wise. Alls I knows is, I hate filing and paralegal work and have finally quit! Well, not really but soon...

What else? my twin and I (Theresa) might look for apts. so I might move out of my current p/t nannying situation. And I am going to leave for Austin soon so that will be really sad too. Like, oppressively sad.

Well, ok. On to happier things. Like this great New Yorker article on the atrocious new penthouse/ upscale apt. project on Astor that's finally done. The curvy one which lacks all architectural foresight. I can't decide if the guy lacks imagination or is too imaginative (in a completely ridiculous way). I guess it takes some grandeur of illusion to create junk like that. In any case, here's the link to the great article http://www.newyorker.com/critics/skyline/. I just wish it was more scathing.

Ok, have to look at jobs now.If anyone wants 2 hire me or let me live in their apt., give me a ring!!!(123) 456-7890

Here's a great Blake poem

2005-03-24T20:54:00.000-05:00

that people generally tend to forget about since "The Tyger" is so popular:

The Lamb (1789)

Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life & bid thee feed
By the stream & o'er the mead,
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing wooly bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice
Making all the vales rejoice!
Little Lamb who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?

Little Lamb I'll tell thee,
Little Lamb I'll tell thee!
He is called by thy name,
For he calls himself a Lamb;
He is meek & he is mild,
He became a little child:
I a child & thou a lamb,
We are called by his name.
Little Lamb God bless thee.
Little Lamb God bless thee.

- from songs of innocence and experience...

isn't it wonderful?!? i thought it'd be very apropo for Easter. happy holidays

Yup, that's the condensed title of a very popular Scandinavian journal on orthopedic surgery and rheumatism. I've had to look it up for B----- lately for the B------ case. I know, es muy interesante.

Sorry, I was going to talk about lots more interesting stuff and about my cool day (only 20 min. of filing! M----- took care of it for me!) but just now I've gotten very dizzy. It's thrown me in a tizzy.

I think I'm going to go lie down. Wish me luck!

here's a thought i'm leaving you with: last nite I supped at Butter. Yes, that's the name of the restaurant. It was very VIP and posh posh. The lasagna was very weird and tasted not at all like lasagna. I kept thinking it was a slab of meat. Also, like everyone says, the place is too salty. The cooks really need to be less excited about salt. I somehow spent $55 on food which I did not eat- that's the downside of dining with large crowds. Oh well! Their diet Coke was good!
um, 3 stars (out of 5)- for nice decorations, an overly patient waitress, a cute maitre d', and muy bueno corn bread

Affordable Dental Plans

what?!?
well, it's kewl i guess cause teeth are important.
for those of you in the Brooklyn-ny area who are in serious need of some good surgical teeth treatment (ex.: wisdom tooth removal, implants) i highly recommend the d.d.s. at http://www.parkslopeoralsurgery.com.
I had Dr. Chionchio and he was very fast. what i thought would be a 2 hr. procedure ended up only taking half an hour. and they have different payment plans for poor college kids.

neighborhoodies = bad

2005-03-18T02:43:00.000-05:00

ok. so im getting really sleepee and should hit the hay soon but before that we are going to talk about neighborhoodies and how lame it is.
it's basically run by a bunch of hipsters/ tischers who have decided to slap decals on over-priced American Apparel quality sweatshirts and the like. "bushwick queen," "LESer," "Upper East Side" in goth fonts? please. like you are really tough. well, guess what, I am going to punch in your face and then run away.

And 2day, on the way to bay ridge, i passed by the store in/near brooklyn heights and it was so ridonk. i didn't stop in but I did glare at it. the fact that the Today show did a piece on it as a must-get Christmas item was even more stupid. im sure oprah will put their items under everyone's chairs now... i wouldn't even dress up Casey in one of their tees.

Casey is the dog i walk. he loves me and i love him- kind of.

this weekend i really want to go to misshapes or something and dance my heart out. want 2 come?!
jk, i prob. won't; im sure i'll be "cracking the lsat"
what i really want to do (& what you should do too if you have time & are in the area) is to check out the new hirst paintings at the g----- gallery and the photo-realist artist at the MoMA.
if you like bridges, there is a celebration exhibit of the verrezano bridge down at the trans. museum in brooklyn heights on/ near pierrepont. and of course, the basquiat exhibit at brooklyn museum. who could resist?!?

man, this new blog thing is great. maybe it'll help me kill more increments of my time at work...

mzk: polaris

ps: i really like moby. i used to read his blogs frosh year and for what he is/ what he became, he seems really down to earth and stuff. also, it's cool that he's listened to NAS for 10+ years and stopped by the other day!!!

blog 2

2005-03-18T02:16:00.000-05:00

Well, I guess Blog 1 doesn't really hold water now since it's 24 hrs. l8er and my template has changed. Still...
Here's something I wrote about work later on last nite:
Updated at 12:52am 03.17.05:Filing really sucked today. J----- came up to me and was all "this is misfiled, xyz has to go to qrs not jkl" and I was all, "look, I just file what the yellow post-it tells me to file" and he was all "well, anyway... thanks." The thing about having a water-cooler job like mine is that you have to split Time into increments of activity- similar to that romcom Hugh Grant movie. For instance, skimming NYTimes.com takes about 10 minutes; gawker, 5; pitchfork, 3. And then there's always the break room. Don't forget the obligatory shuffle shuffle to the boss/ supervisor's desk. Make a lot of noise and start shuffling more papers so it'll look like you're being productive. And then bite your lip and look like you are thinking really hard in that little brain of yours. Then go home and smoke a big fat J.

Boy, I never thought my life could sound like this.

Ok, in this blog-site we will probably talk about alpacas, lisa frank, belle & sebastian, really cute dogs and how kewl they are and whatever else you can think of. oh, and lots of filing. right?!?

My Very First BloG
