I jokingly solicited snacks in my Gchat status and actually got some: a boy had four absurdly decadent cupcakes from Snacky’s delivered via SeamlessWeb to my office. I audibly swooned (coworkers can verify this).

The remains of my cupcake pictured above.

What a sweet boy ;)

heartbeatcity:

She painted her room resonant white. Hope White, it was called, like the heroine of a nurse novel. She began collecting white furniture, small things, for juveniles, only they were for her. She sat in them and at them and felt the edge of a childhood she’d never quite had or couldn’t quite remember float back to her, cleansing and restoring. She bathed in Lysol, capfuls under the running tap. She moved her other furniture—the large red, black, and brown pieces—out onto the sidewalk and watched the city haul them away on Mondays, until her room was spare and milky as a bone.

Lorrie Moore, “Two Boys”

This makes me miss my all white room.

Scaffolding collapsed on 8th and Broadway with what appears to be two taxis underneath. Police and firemen on the scene.

Daaaaaamn! I always try to avoid walking under scaffolding whenever possible even when it’s difficult to because there’s so much of it.

My costume last night? An infomercial pitchman for This Is Why You’re Fat the book. What an amazing party, Shannon and Bryan really know how to do Halloween right. Also, Steven Blush is an amazing DJ.

Jen (not pictured above) is a social media guru. She is on what some people irritatingly refer to as “the bleeding edge” when it comes to all the ways — both wonderful and creepy — that one can interact with other humans online. Among her new delights is Neighborhoodr, a group of blogs segregated by New York neighbhorhood to which people can post items specific to their ‘hoods (or the ‘hoods in which they witness blogworthy events). Jen likes Neighborhoodr because it gives her (and her hoodrats) a means to communicate specifically about the space in which they live.

I like it because its LES blog directed me to a NYT article about David Byrne riding his bike through (among other places) the LES. I loooove David Byrne. Don’t you?

If you are a bike commuter and/or have dreams of a New York better suited to biking, read the NYT article. (This means you, Tri.)

What a lovely little write up :)
