This is me last Sunday afternoon, coming back from our absolutely insane and ridiculous weekend of driving and eating and puking.
I slouch too much.
This Thai Iced Tea was over too quickly. On the plus side, it is a gorgeous day, and despite my student loan payment randomly going up, I am happy. Boyfriend gets here on Wednesday. I plan on purchasing that face mask that I love from Lush (*~~womanhood~~*). Who knows, maybe I’ll finally buy some produce tomorrow (br00klyn g0ddess).
Some day out of the blue it will find you
Always
Always a face to remind me
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you
And for Easter, my grandma has sent me this: a robotic kitten called “L’il Kitty” that purrs, jumps, wags its tail and walks.
I did say I wanted a cat some day.
It’s a coffee in my sushi mug morning. Staying in bed for a while today. Someone remind me that gin doesn’t hydrate you.

Mike and I went to Mass MOCA this past Saturday, one of my favorite museums in the world. We saw two incredible exhibits: “Phoenix” by Xu Bing (above) and a “Oh, Canada!” (a piece from it by Charles Stankievech called “LOVELAND” below). Both were stunning. I could not believe the sheer scale of Xu Bing’s piece and the years of work that went into it; we are lucky to have it visiting the States. I read that it will be installed in a cathedral in New York next and cannot wait to see it’s impact on that kind of space.
The “Oh, Canada!” exhibit was the most wonderful surprise. I felt obligated, being Canadian, to check out this enormous retrospective of contemporary work from the not-always-frozen North. I didn’t expect the work to be so continuously fascinating; with 60 artists participating, I thought for sure there had to be one that I did not connect with. But no! Each piece was incredible and the emotions involved impressive and moving. I especially connected with Charles Stankievech’s “LOVELAND”, a video which immersed you completely in a cloud flying past you by rendering the space you were in totally white. Other notable pieces I took with me home and into my dreams: “Man With Gun” by Sarah Anne Johnson, and “Scenes from the House Dream” by David Hoffos.
A perfect day, all around.
On a sidenote, “Oh, Canada!” had many disturbing and often times frightening pieces. Mike and I gave it an 8/10 on the creepy scale. Makes me wonder how everyone is doing up there…
It’s Nametag Friday at work and the theme was ‘I can’t live without…’
So…
The perks of living in a Jamaican neighborhood - 6 fishcakes for $2 and delicious Jamaican Kola Champagne. Love it.

Note from my boyfriend when I got home to look in the fridge.
I am so happy and I love him so much.
This is my first Little Brown Bag. I don’t think I have ever left Bloomingdales with anything in my hand (just a lot of free perfume sprays). Okay, so I was using a giftcard. Whatever! It still counts right?
The best part is how much nicer people in the store were to me after I had a bag in my hand. Got so many free samples.
And yes, I do plan on saving the bag so I can go back and walk around with it like I bought something.
