here's my first real blog post.
today marks my fourth day in new york city. honestly, they’ve all been whirlwinds and very busy and full of typical touristy things. my parents ended their vacation and left the city around 4pm today. and after that? welp. i’ve been on my own. in a way, it feels like it’s actually my first day.  this afternoon, i went out and walked around my neighborhood for a bit. meet the...

night two:
in bed with hives. ha! gooooooo figure. my parents and i went to 30 rock today, as well as to some irish pubs (lunch and dinner) and caught a show - “catch me if you can”. (yes, like the movie!) good, but busy day. thankfully, this weirdo allergic reaction didn’t happen until post-show meal (~11:45, although we doubt this reaction had to do with food). i popped two benadryl...

it's 1:30 in the morning
and i’m eating cheetos and lemon squares because i don’t feel in control of my life. don’t get me wrong, i am legitimately excited about new york… but more and more frequently, as my moving day approaches, i’m getting flashes of “i am clueless as to what i am actually about to do” and “what have i gotten myself into?”. currently, i’m...

new york city...
one urban outfitters next to my apartment building, one urban outfitters next to my office building. (oh also, a marc jacobs store.) (i spend my dwindling texas moments google-mapping my future surroundings.) obviously, urban is not that big of a deal… but please excuse me if the first few weeks of posts will be just me marveling at the multitude of things literally at my fingertips and...

Lost Type Co-op (via Public School)
Designers, students, type nerds: take note! Check out Lost Type for a new model for type foundries: pay-what-you-want. Yep, you can even “pay” $0.00. However, all proceeds go directly to the designer of the typeface. (The way it should be.) We can all afford to spare an Alexander or Andrew… instead of the Benjamins you usually have to part with, right?  I’m thinking...

kaitlynreed asked: You must go to a speakeasy while in nyc. There are tons hidden all around the city. The one I went to was in the east village called Please Don't Tell (http://www.yelp.com/biz/please-dont-tell-new-york-2) and you enter through a phone booth in a hot dog place. It's very dark, mysterious, and totally worth the $10 drink in my opinion. Plus the bathroom is incredible.

sometimes, i even surprise myself.
i woke up this morning and while browsing the interwebs in bed (typical), i saw something to my left…. gave it some major side eye but couldn’t see anything. look back three minutes later? HUGE BUG. i don’t even know what it is. not a roach, not a spider. i literally speak the words, “oh hell no” all menacingly, jump up, and grab a shoe. … and then i get...
