Final Countdown

The final (draft) of thesis document submitted!

(Red lined back once more before we seal remains pending but that isn’t in my control!)

One more to go (one more to go, one more to go) then I can sleep tonight!

The Whole Thing

On a skype conversation just a few seconds ago – my thesis advisor said, “send me the whole thing this week..” and this was my response: ”alrighty”

Does everyone remember a certain “alrighty” conversation from SATC. It went something like this:

Charlotte: I proposed myself!
Carrie: What?
Charlotte: Yes. I suggested he have a tomato salad, then I suggested we get married.
Carrie: Wait. What exactly did he say?
Charlotte: Alrighty!
Carrie: Alrighty? He said alrighty? Now I’m thinking the upsetting thing isn’t that you proposed, it’s that you proposed to a guy that says “alrighty.”
Charlotte: Oh, Carrie, stop!
Carrie: Alrighty.

Anywho, alrighty it is. The entire thing is due on Sunday. Alrighty.

The Hangover Homework

Weddings and Things

So while weddings in New York are generally taking over the summer season… NYPL | Waldorf=Astoria | NY Zoo | Orensanz | Plaza | Beekman you get the picture. It also means that my otherwise routinely chaotic calendar seems to have exploded. In my face. I thought it might be nice to look up some things that go hand in hand with weddings.

What To Wear – apparently the answer is to scour the racks at Saks | Bloomingdales | Nordstorms but with seven weddings to look forward to this season I’m in need of a short list to wear.

Travel Gear – I’m spending today & tomorrow in collecting travel sized products. It’s the only way to survive the madness without being upset that you left your favorite cleanser on the bathroom sink of some hotel (can you tell!)

What To Pack – After ignoring Nat Geo’s sage advice, I’m really going to be packing everything I own. What I try to remember however is to get dry cleaning done before I start packing. This bit always comes back to bite me…  and then everything else is accessorize!

Weekend Trips (to plan): Ron Mueck in Paris,

Spring Time for Me

Spring is being awkward. Especially since we are having a few good days and generally chilly days… but I’m sure you’ve heard enough conversation about New York weather in elevator / taxis for me to add to it. My spring is a little disjointed – what with travel plans and a calendar full of events after my school work is done. But somehow events creep in between as well because I literally am too tempted and too excited to settle down and buckle down. I wonder if everyone fights this battle of self… I hope the answer is a resounding yes.

Right now the battle of what will replace by very cool garbage bin at home is in my head. But, before I discuss what garbage bins to purchase now that New York City has finally decided to recycle plastics… I want to put out there these girls who are totally my Sunday night obsession.. besides the dragon queen of course. I am now obsessing over them a little bit more thanks to PotD’s melody share which also echoes the tunes in the show. Anywho, back to the trash talk. It seems like NYC is going places… it has decided to really recycle. This now demands new bins in my tiny apartment. My options look something like this: Recycle Bins (but I have no inside to pull these out of) or something cooler looking (and that cooler looking bin is yet to manifest…)

What has manifested itself are these little pockets of selfie time. I have a new phone thanks to M and have joined the world of people who loved blackberries but have moved on to the i-world. So in a return-thank-you… I decided to squeeze some time in with M. We finally went to a movie together … so while we missed out on Sundance this year, we were at the very least able to catch a singular movie at Tribeca… anddd we highly and unashamedly recommend the movie! Please go and watch Sh’s film <– the link should bring you to showtimes in New York!  We also dropped by Ruj’s new take out restaurant… so if you’re in the mood for some home cooked yummyness – Bombay Duck hits it home!

Obviously I don’t have much to write about so I’ll just do my usual websites I’m trolling list…

Prince Teas (turmeric goodness), F recommended Sugarfina’s candy, Apartment inspiration by Eye Swoon, Prop Stylist (the real question is how do I ever be that cool), Factory20, Modern50, Flair NYC, Canvas, Ochre… happy spring!
