fridays classes were the same as they always are - my attention level for the week seems to have been maxed out and i am antsy and ready to be set free. this photo below shows the collaboration of alex and i and our combined weirdness and slight sense of a.d.d. we decided we wanted to do a small collage dedicated to our friend peter. so we drew imgaes of peter and put this little thing together and pasted it on his locker. i wonder if he figured out that it was her and i. i don tknow. but whatever. it got us through the day!
here is tuten with her 'prostitute umbrella' - thats what she's calling it. she has been carrying this in her bag for the past week hoping that it will rain. doesn't she know that i do everything i can to avoid a rainy day in the city!!!
after class, adri, alex and i headed to safran for a late lunch. it is french-vietnamese cuisine and they have a great lunch special. after lunch we decided to head down towards soho to walk around and enjoy the city. this pic is adri trying on a new jacket at g-star. alex and i enjoyed the moment of being his stylists and giving him advice. then we both enjoyed a moment when we decided the way a fancy frou-frou poodle that we saw crossing the street would say if she could talk. once again. easily amused. we headed to houston and bowery for an art exhibit that some of our friends that are first year students told us about. the exhibit was called the outsiders and it was really cool and in an awesome space.
you can see more images than i posted here
when we were walking home - well towards the subway, we saw one of the banksy pieces - it was cool bc we've been talking about his work, but there we got to see one out of no where. i ran across traffic and stood in the median to take this photo for tuten bc i thought it would make her smile.
i wrote the post about seeing chris noth, right after it happened - but that was friday after all of this. me adri and kyle ended up going to public to have wine and appetizers. adri's friend dylan works at the restaurant. it is a really neat place, with such a cool atmosphere. it is themed after a public library. really cool. after dylan got off, the 4 of us headed to double crown/ madam geneva's where i had a really delicious (and slightly unusual) cocktail that tasted like ginger. the bar closed early, and we all parted and headed home.
saturday i dragged myself out of bed and headed to brooklyn to have lunch with chinae. we ate at a cute little mexican place and then got gorilla coffee and walked around park slope. there are the greatest little boutiques and everyone seemed so cheery. it began raining, so we took shelter and headed to nae and bobs apt where nae and i spent the rest of the afternoon facebook stalking and her catching me up on her love interests. yes. that is plural. . being silly and watching you me and dupree.
i hurried back to the city to come home and shower quickly before heading back out with mo to go back to brooklyn, but this time to sunset park. our old roommate kirby was celebrating her birthday. we went to her apartment for dinner, a mini dance party, play time with their cat, and then headed back to the city to go out at the dark room in the LES. we had a blast dancing and enjoyed ourselves at the dark room. always a good time.
my sunday morning was another 'drag me out of bed' moments - i woke up and went ot meet adri at the station to head to the upper west side for brunch with several of our first year friends. we went to the greatest restaurant
called 'calle ocho' - the best part was that they had free, unlimited sangria. sounds too good to be true. i know. they had like 8 different flavors, and you could come and go as you please to refill. my favorite (and the only one i stuck to) was the mango,pineapple,honey and lemongrass blend. amazing.
after brunch, adri, stephanie and i opted to walk through the park instead of just hopping on the subway. it was an absolutely gorgeous day. we walked across the park to the east side, and then took the 6 to union square. i got out there and walked home. amanda was shopping in the area, so i met her at shoegasm, and we grabbed coffee at starbucks and caught up on life. it was good to see her and just hang out and talk.
at church last night they spoke about marriage. wow. the heavy stuff huh. it was really good though. and the sermon applied to all of us, each in our own ways. it kept the busy wheels of my mind spinning. our group of friends headed to the village afterwards for dinner and margaritas at bennys.
what a weekend. thats the summary of it all, in the condensed version. all in all it was really nice to get out and about and really try to be social. i got to see so many different friends, make a few new ones, and got to get out and enjoy this city. last week followed up by this weekend was just so perfect for me. i know i've been saying this lately - but it all really was just what i needed.
oh also - even though i had such a wonderful weekend, i really wish i could have gont to tcu's homecoming this weekend. i loved your pics al, and i want to go next year!! i hardly recognize the school and all those renovations. whoah. i miss tailgating. and my tcu girls.
