Vacation: the final hours countdown
Yep, and I’m blogging. Ha! No, my intention here is not to spend my final hours in LA Tumbling, but I did want to say a quick hello! Besides, it’s uncomfortably hot outside and after spending more than 64 hours in the blazing desert, I need to spend some time indoors!
Now, to my next point- Coachella!!!! It was such an exhaustingly fun, flaming hot (literally 102 degrees) musical...
“Meeting strangers is one way of getting to know ourselves…”
– Bernard Rudofsky
Rudofsky, an architect, critic and fashion designer, was fascinated by the idea of “architecture without architects.” In his thesis, he established a philosophy that regarded architecture as a spatial embodiment of life-a principle that would guide his examinations of...
“Architecture is not a matter of technology or aesthetics, but the frame for a...”
– Bernard Rudofsky.
At the Getty Center right now and this statement stood out-especially in the here and now.
“Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And...”
– Leonard Shelby (Guy Pierce) in Memento (2001)
I watched Memento tonight for the first time since its original release. The film is a case study in character development and a good reminder to writers that there are no rules when it comes to storytelling/filmmaking. I enjoyed it just as much tonight...
Woody's Back in New York!!!
New York in the Spring is an upcoming movie waiting to happen. Well, leave it to Woody Allen to begin shooting his next flick on the day the Pope was coming to town.
Walking toward 8th via 19th St., I noticed a film crew that had drawn quite a crowd. I quickly learned that it was indeed the new Woody Allen film! Instant intrigue. Not one minute later Larry David, Patricia Clarkston and Evan...
As entertaining as the mass pillow fight?
Hundreds of strangers bring their iPods to Union Square and get their groove on in total silence. Cue up that playlist and prepare to dance ‘til you drop!
Fri 4/18 (6:15PM) at Union Square Park

Thanks to American Apparel, it appears that most people in Manhattan seem to have completely forgotten that wearing spandex is a privilege not a right.
Haha! Sarah, I think it’s time you post that picture :)
I don't have much energy...
but there’s no way I’m going to stay inside all day. I figure some fresh air will do me good, so I’m going to take a stroll and check out my favorite neighborhood galleries including:
PaceWildenstein
Gagosian
Mary Boone
Danese
Silverstein Photography
Admittedly, It’s been awhile since I’ve done an impromptu gallery crawl -every weekend in this city is...
what would you sing at a karaoke bar?
sarazucker:
roxanne by the police, absolutely.
Bette Davis Eyes :)
I love the Spring, but my allergies certainly do not :(

Muxtape Love
To who ever created carnesaurus.muxtape.com - thank you!
It’s mellow and I’ve been enjoying it all day long!
I get a bit nervous when..
…an unidentified number appears on my cell. Of course, I never answer, but I always Google it with the hope of figuring it out. Two seconds ago Carnegie Hall called… and, I don’t know why! It’s probably a misdial, but still how random.
Generally, personal numbers aren’t listed online (thank god), but I’m curious has Google ever helped you reveal an interesting...
“We’ll be pouring out more coffee than most people serve.”
– - Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks. From “Starbucks starts serving new ‘everyday’ coffee” - Food Inc.- msnbc.com
This is a brilliant business plan, guys. And so green of you. (via noraleah)
To clarify, Schultz stated that the plan is to dispose of coffee after it has been sitting for 30 mins. What...

This is a great article, albeit very long (read later?).
Public transit itself can be bad for the environment if it facilitates rather than discourages sprawl. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority is considering extensions to some of the most distant branches of its system, and those extensions, if built, will allow people to live even farther from the city’s center,...
Paint-schmaint!
I spent all day painting my bedroom despite the after-effects of the many La Revolucion (vodka, ginger and lemongrass) drinks consumed last night, which by the way were fantastic! I got to say, I’m a little bummed. I was looking for a subtle color to accent a wall, but as I look at my work it’s clear that my selection- Olivetint -is WAY understated. It doesn’t even look like I...
Today at Benjamin Moore
Janey: What if you picked paint by the name and not the actual color...I'll have Marshmallow Bunny and Peanut Butter, thank you very much!
