one day i'm at home, curled up in my couch with a movie in the dvd player... then i smell wet dog. i'm like whats that wet dog stench?? i look around, sniff a little. then realize the wet dog smell is coming from my feet. ugh.

annoyances in ny:

1. heels getting caught in cracks/gaps of badly paved streets. it rips up the heel and looks fucking embarrassing.

2. getting caught in the rain. there are no underpasses and buildings are not built with nice shelters and awnings. streets are filthy and roads are uneven so puddles collect and splash all over me when cars drive by.

3. going out and having to get in line or open a bottle. the worst is being a big group of asians because we're in general not glamorous looking and no matter how the bouncers try to be as colour-blind, they don't want their club to develop the reputation of being the asian playground (just like all-black hip hop places attract only black people). fede puts it nicely- HAH! how do you feel being rejected by a BLACK bouncer.

ny loves:

1. abundance of movies!! netflix and moviebank (my recent discovery and saviour from lonely nights in my mice-filled apt)

2. good cheap sushi EVERYWHERE

3. woodstock farms dried mango from st mark's supermarket

4. treadle machines at crunch gym at union sq

5. green tea cookie custard bun from panya
