Hello, I've waited here for you.
Wait, so my package left Brooklyn to go across the waters to Staten Island, only to come back to Brooklyn before venturing 20 minutes up north to Queens? USPS, get your shit together.
Apparently saw Diplo at Highline with HIS baby yesterday afternoon. I’ve seen him perform before so it threw me the heck off when he wasn’t in a suit, and I had no idea he had a son! Mindblown.
This is one of my favorite random photos of myself. *~Pre-New Year’s ‘10~*
Underground New York Public Library is an awesome new Tumblr featuring photos of people reading while they wait for the subway. The arresting photos speak for themselves.
Long train commutes make New York one of the most literary cities in the U.S. And because New York as one of the fashion capitals of the world, you have all the ingredients you need for one very stylish documentary project.

I’m always on the train reading a book. I actually prefer to ride the train alone, so I can get some reading done.
I prefer to play Fruit Ninja, but that’s because I’m not very smart.

Once upon a time, none of us worked yet and didn’t have cool phones. Everything has changed since June … except that I still use a brokeberry.
So this happened at Astor Place today.
Are you missing a well dressed, bilingual elephant?
Even if I didn’t … my answer is YES. I am ALWAYS missing a well dressed, bilingual elephant prince.
The weather we’ve been having this fall amazes me on how I managed to survive falls like the above picture in the past. *~Syracuse Snow Storm 2k10~* *~N3va 4g3t~*

How New York Can Steal From Hong Kong (and other world capitals)
I can’t imagine a denser New York, having lived in both NYC and HK. Thanks, Noelia, for sending this to me though! I think in an alternate life, I was born to be an architect or industrial designer. After all, I’ve always thought of them to make the most practical use of art and it’s a career that seems rather innovative and combines creativity, math and science into a product everyone can admire. We all need places to sleep in, or at least look at!
What would 9/11/01 have been like in 2011? Possibly more traumatic.
“Katharine Weymouth, publisher and chief executive of the Washington Post Company, said at a conference Wednesday at the Newseum that she was grateful that such technology had not been developed in 2001. Watching video shot from inside the Twin Towers would have been too traumatic, she said.
“Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and all the technologies that have yet to be invented make all these events more real, and more horrific. Television pales in comparison,” she said.
… Mr. Carvin agrees that there would be a level of added trauma had people trapped in the World Trade Center been sending updates in real time, but he says he believes that this may have been accompanied by a certain catharsis.”
