Moving

You live in Brooklyn and you think, "Wow, I've been here for so long. I should be upgrading."

Yet, you find yourself in neighborhoods like this:

Next to this:

Anyway, back to moving. So every time you move, you pack up all your things, enlist some friends, and figure out how to get off work, pick up a truck, load, unload, and return it all in 2 hrs.

What happens is like a drive-by of stuff flying out.

There's no night cap like a fluffy one!

(and yes, those are the tarts from Saturday =D)

Street Fair

Summer has started officially because everywhere you go there are street fairs.

I must commend myself because this weekend has actually been quite eventful. No photos to document yesterday's excursion other than a picture of some fruit tarts. But I did manage to get out of the house at 10am and travel so deep into the Bronx that I could've flown to Georgia in the time it took to take 3 subways there.

This morning, or should I say afternoon, I went for a bike ride to Caroll Gardens. This new brunch place opened up called Clover Club. I really wanted this punch on the menu but alas, it served 4-6 and was impossible to make for 2. ...lieeessss




It's pretty nice inside, isn't it? The food was very good. I should've taken a picture of the menu cause apparently the online one isn't the same.
Anyway, we listened to this band (below) play for the duration of our brunch. You see that ultra tall man. He's on stilts. He liked this band so much he stood around for at least 33 min watching and listening.







After this I put the phone away and enjoyed the rest of the day. Continued on to the Brooklyn Promenade. Enjoyed a slightly mushy Choco Taco and then biked to Dumbo to check out some furniture. In particular I wanted to see this store that I had passed by on several occasions but had been closed previously:

Wonk NYC



All their furniture comes in a variety of colors and woods.

Pretty fun. I'm thinking about getting some more bamboo furniture as it seems to be the only 'wood' hard enough to resist the schomping powers of a rabbit.

Friday Alone

So Friday started off as any other unemployed day does...
lounging around.

I finally got hungry enough around 333pm to "run" to Choice for a salmon burger. 10 min of running and 60 min of gorging seemed to quell my "lose weight desires" for the day.



I proceeded to Outpost to sit around, sip watermelon lemonade, and download various applications for my iphone.

My new favorite app is of course "Shake It Photo." The Outpost photo was taken with Shake It where as the second combined "Color Splash" and "Polarize." Polarize is nice because it can turn your camera roll photos into a Polaroid where as Shake It can't. Either way, I probably spent about 5 dollars on photo related apps in a span of 5 min.

So the road home looks much better on Shake It. In real life it's a bit creepy and desolate.

My app downloading fun however did not stop there and continued even after I got home.
My all time favorite app of course is now " 'Stachetastic"



That's one scary rabbit. He'll get you. Arrrrgggg
