we finish eachother's ...sandwiches

we ate sandwiches for lunch 2 days in a row.
1. no. 7 sub , a sandwich shop i've been going to since august, when we came to visit, before we moved here.
2. bierkraft , a new sandwich & beer place, we went to for the first time today. we both ate only half our sandwich (b/c they were huge!!) & also, b/c we each had a beer. we'll be going back there, for sure, this week. i'm kind of obsessed. i do wish i knew more about beer(...is it too early for new year resolutions?)

here, my favorite kind of outfit. boyish, yet still super girly.
someone said to me that i looked very miu miu...whatever that meant, anyway, i took it as a compliment.

it's been fall in new york. sunny but cold, and i'm loving it.
i didn't think i would be able to wear my tenoversix jacket, b/c it's more of an LA weather kind of jacket. wool with short sleeves. i wore it the last two days, and according to the forecast, i should be able to wear it tomorrow too!

if you are a good detective, you should be able to tell which pictures of me are from saturday, and which are from sunday.
:)
goodnight friends.
it's much too late here... so strange, it's only 10 in LA right now...

cat person

i had someone at my new job say "you look like a cat person" after i told them i had two of them.

i've heard that before. & it's slightly offensive, no? why is it when i hear "cat lady" or even "cat person" i think of a crazy person.
anyway. i am a not a just a cat person, i am an animal person. i would have a dog in a heartbeat, if i could... & a bird & a hamster.
no fish though. you can't cuddle a fish.

we're getting used to living here in brooklyn. i didn't think it was possible to be w/o a car...well, here i am... no car, and loving it. 
the biggest downside to this, however,  is grocery shopping.
last night i went to trader joe's for the first time, and went ballistic.
big mistake. BIG MISTAKE.

i had to walk those groceries [4 bags + a full backpack] 4 blocks to the bus. then 1 1/2 blocks home.
i would take 10 steps & set everything down. take 12 step . set everything down. & so on.
 as i was crossing the street, a bus honked at me... the nerve.
i felt like a real new yorker right then, i looked right at her (& bus' headlights) and said "really??"

today was a super nice sunny but very chilly day.

these are two (2nd) cutest kitties ever.
a big grey one, and teensy tiny orange shy guy.

what will they do when it snows?
at least they will have a cat person coming by & visiting them a few times a week. maybe i'll steal a few treats from coop & rozzy for them...

hi

nate comes and waits for me to get off work, then we walk together & find something to eat. i worked by the empire state building, & this is it, with fog all over it.

i no longer work there. i have a new job, which i like & it's in brooklyn. i'm loving brooklyn these days. it's been so cold the last week. nate bought me heattech leggings & tankies... do you know what heattech is? if you live in california, probably not. i now wear these thin but super warm leggings under all my clothes, and they work. i'm in the market for a toasty coat & some weather proof boots.

i did get an Acne coat, but it's more of a fall jacket vs. a winter coat. it looks fancy, and it probably meant to be worn with more dressed up outfits, but it ain't stopping me from wearing jeans with it.

The other night nate & i went to the MoMA Ps1 museum, for a book fair. it was really cool, i wanted to buy about 100 books, but left with 2 magazines (i plan to get subscriptions to!). One of these weekends we are going back there. I want to go there during the day.

It's been a busy last few weeks. Since I got a new job, I had a little overlap happen with the jobs, ended up working a few double shifters...powered through it, if you will. got a cold, powered through it some more, and now i'm golden. went out for coffee & a mixed berry muffin this morning.

and then the muffin fell. all on it's own....
"whadja do?"

the boys slept.
we worked on music.
and then the boys slept some more.

i've also acquired a new scent for my winter in new york. i've been obsessed with this scent for almost a year now. it's very expensive so i use it sparingly. Monocle no. 1 Hinoki w/ Comme des Garcons.
it smells like a forest in japan + blueberries & coffee? i don't know. it's just so good. i'm even keeping the box too.  & that's my favorite vase my friend gave me as a going away present.

the two top magazines are the two i got at the book fair, and the living etc. magazines are my most favorite home design inspiration magazine i just discovered!
i will have a wall of books like this in my house some day, w/ a ladder, of course.

alright! we're off to the UCB here. first time, hope we can get in!
& happy belated halloween!

my new boss says "ps" right before any punchline to any story & it's funny b/c he has a new yorker accent & i'll make a video one day here once i get his accent & mannerisms down...maybe.
anyway, so ps. we finished the song we worked on today & i love it.  check 'er out herez if ya want. song #5 make me an offer.

bye.
