Happy birthday, Kristina
The nineteenth of November was a big day: Cindee, Dave and I saw The Modern Kids and
Centralia at
Chashama;
Centralia on the big sheet
Sipping wine in the house
then I strolled downtown to Kristina's impromptu birthday party at
Bowery Poetry Club, where I managed to capture several foot blog debuts.
Michelle (noon)
Brookie (ten)
Sam (eleven)
and of course, the birthday girl
Kristina! (noon)
Sam was relieved that Kristina had made a poorer choice in footwear:
Winter-time flips vs. old sneakers? My smart black oxfords win (mostly because they make me 2.5 inches taller and keep my pants from dragging the ground).
Kristina, thanks for a great party. You are
adorkable.
Ear Candy
Preparing to rock at
Arlene's GroceryAfter the art show, Cindee and I popped over to Arlene's to see our pal Betsy rock the night fantastic with her band,
The Booty Olympics.
They were so awesome, I had to go back inside to find my face after the show.

You should check out these fine ladies. I mean, if you like kick-ass rock.
Eye Candy
Artsy
Cindee invited me to an art show, Toy2R, organized by her roommate Sephrah. Sephrah's husband Bill also had a piece in the show. It was something about Japanese toys, something about art, and something very cool.
Monkeys, bears and skulls. Oh my. (click photo - see kitty)
Bill Riley and creation (click photo for close up)
This one made my eyes turn to hearts (click for Cindee's favorite)
Doink! (Go ahead, click this one, too.)
Fitting, given my recent obsession with the
Panda Cam
They're putting the books in!
Stopping by my (
yes, my) library on my way to work, my heart almost exploded when I saw...
books!
Yay!
There are more than two options
Election Day 2005. NYC.
Bloomberg? No. Ferrer? Hell no.
So many choices
Rent Is Too Damn High party? I like his theme song, but...
I vote with my heart and my head.
That's respresentative democracy, baby.
It's official.
My submersion into office culture is complete. I've filled out my insurance forms, attended two co-worker birthday potlucks, occasionally goofed off by blogging my feet
and
I purchased Tupperware.
In my defense, it was more from nostalgia than office politics. Growing up, this is the style of pitcher we had for iced tea. Y'all come on over and I'll pour you a glass.
