Post beach food.

I always have a very specific kind of craving when I get home from the beach. Usually it is satisfied by either kalamata olives or sea salt and vinegar cape cod potato chips.

I was obsessed with this photo about a year ago (I saw it as someone’s facebook profile picture… embarrassing) but had no idea where it came from - apparently it is a photo by Aimee Stein in a series called “Halloween in Harlem.”

I don’t know - is this gross? or maybe there have just been too many random down pours in new york in the past week. (via apartmenttherapy)

Food in the City

Ann and I came into NYC yesterday and are staying at the apartment of friends of ours at the new private residence part of the renovated Plaza Hotel. Can’t complain.
We had a late lunch yesterday at “Fig and Olive” and it was great. It was on Lex around 62nd. Dinner at “Per Lei” (71st and 2nd) was also excellent. Kate, Julia and Jimmy were with us. The fact that they all enjoy good food as much as Ann and I do adds to the experience.

Yesterday was so fun. Basically all we did was eat (and I also napped). By far my favorite thing to do is to eat good food with my family. I would definitely reccomend Fig and Olive. I think it is a chain but the food was really fabulous and not too expensive.

Private residence at the plaza anyone?

does anyone know where I can find a pair of cazal 607’s in NYC?

maybe Fabulous Fanny’s on 9th st between 1st and 2nd Ave? They have drawers and dawers full of vintage frames.

I hate Kit Kittredge.

I’ve been watching a lot of Greek Season 1 on ABC Family’s website. Their flashplayer is awful. Here are my complaints.
1. I understand that advertising is the reason I can watch the show for free. I think a 30 second commercial break every 8 minutes or so is reasonable. However, why they decided I should watch the same commercial 5 times per episode is beyond me. Right now, by my calculations I’ve watched the commercial for “Kit Kittredge: An American Girl” 95 times! That’s absurd. I don’t understand why they couldn’t have gotten more than one advertiser. If I have to watch the commercial (i usually just mute and navigate away, but the point stands) I at least want some variety. Or at least a Geico or Apple ad.
2. The flashplayer is so loaded up to keep you from skipping from section to section that it prevents you from skipping within sections effectively. Want to hear that line you just missed? Force quite your browser and start over. And get ready for 3 more Kit Kittredge Commercials. (Do you swear to be true to the Tree House Club? No Kit, no I don’t.)
3.The quality from the Flash player is awful. It’s really bad. Why Vimeo’s video quality is head and shoulders above a broadcast television network’s is beyond me.
4. The page in general is so loaded up with Flash animation that you can’t navigate or even scroll without channeling the spinning pinwheel of death.
5. Their slogan is “Welcome to Our Family. We’re doing something different…” First of all, they’re not. Unless you count not putting your stuff on Hulu. Second of all, their something different is just copying The OC formula and throwing it on screen as many times a day with different titles as possible. “Welcome to Our Family. We’re ripping off Fox.”
6. As if her ads weren’t enough, every commercial break the rest of the screen is covered by Kit, grinning at you like the demonic spawn of Shirley Temple and Macauley Culkin.
Brutal.

my little brother is hilarious. absolutely right. but also hilarious.

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 20:51:04 -0400

So I spent the entire weekend working on my final project for my Interior Space Planning class. I made the entire thing in Sketch Up (thank you Casey for letting me use your computer) and physically built the model out of foam core. Sketch up took from 11am to 9pm on Saturday and the actual model took all day and late into the night on Sunday. I took it into class on Monday night and only 4 other people showed up for class, only three of which had done the project. There are usually 17 people in the class. Anyway so I presented to the 4 other people and the teacher and I guess it went fine. But now there is nothing to do but throw out this massive model that I built. It’s so sad! So I guess I’ll share it with all of you and then throw it away. I forgot how frustrating work for class can be for this very reason. You work your ass off on something and then hand it in - after a breif consideration from the teacher you just throw it out and never think about it again. Bummer.

Geeze. It’s been a long day. I spent all day from 10 am to 2 am building my model for my final project: a model of the parsons lobby/new library. I’m exhausted.

jimiheffernan:

We bought Dad an Amazon Kindle
and a flipvideo camera for father’s day. That’s a pretty good haul, but he’s been a pretty awesome dad for at least the past 17 years.*
*I’ve heard anecdotal evidence that his behavior over the previous 7 or 8 was equally excellent, however I wasn’t there, so I can’t really vouch for the validity of such rumors.

I will confirm - dad has been a good dad for at least 23 years - we’ll have to check with hadley for the other 2. Very excited to go home and see the Kindle - I’ve heard they’re very cool.

ugh.
