from the DumboNYC twitter:

TRD: Two Tree’s 25 Washington rentals in Dumbo to open March 2011. $2k for studios 4800 for 2 bed.

the prices are insane down here, this isn’t the damn city… i have been working here for two years now and i’ve realized that if you’re stupid enough to pay that much money to live here – you deserve to. you’re basically paying for a SHIT TON of noise, dog pee and dog shit EVERYWHERE (literally), (SLOW WALKING) tourists ALL YEAR LONG, no decent grocery store, overpriced EVERYTHING, 978 nanny’s and the kids they don’t give a shit about slowly dragging their asses down the streets of dumbo and did i mention the tons of tourists?

i like working down here because it’s not as busy as the city but i would NEVER EVER EVER waste money living in this stupid, overrated area.

my favorite homegirl and i met up for a wonderful day of bk escapades! …i needed to hit up the bk heights ricky’s for hair dye and i thought going from dumbo to brooklyn heights would be a nice day trip…

i work between the manhattan and brooklyn bridges, if you didn’t know… it’s gorgeous down there in the park, so i figured it’d be a good place to just chill out for a while… it was a gorgeous spring day out today, glad we got to enjoy it before we start sweating our nyc balls off…

we got some starbucks, walked around dumbo for a few, and then we went to brooklyn bridge park… chilled out for a while, were talking… TLNYC CREATIVE BRAINSTORMING… and as jes took this picture on the left (dont mind my fat arm? lol), one of my bosses walked over to say hi, lol… we got to see his son charlie and his wife, we chatted for a few and then they went to a birthday party in the park. it’s funny i bumped into him, i’m usually never in dumbo on the weekends since i frequent it so often during the week

so we sat there for a while shooting-the-shit, and then decided to hike up to the heights… here are some pics i took

(click the thumbnails, people!)

so here are a few things i found in a folder on my computer tonight… i had been messing around with this stuff in photoshop and they were either unused, unfinished or on my (private) myspace profile… (so i’m assuming most of you haven’t seen these things…)

unused i thought this was a cool idea, and that’s my favorite quote from the book.

(more…)

so today was the first part of our office’s move. pictured above, lol, will show our office on the left (now) and where we will be situated tomorrow (right). yeah, 5th floor. both corner offices, across from each other, lol.

(more…)

…as if i could make these things up…

shawn and i went to pick up lunch today at almondine, and they only take cash, so i had to stop off at the ATM in the deli around the block… so inside of the deli, an odd assortment of people. one being, a black cowboy… i’m talking boots WITH THE SPURS, hat with feathers hanging off of the back and a HUGE belt buckle. (no idea what was on the buckle, i had to look away)

anyways some white dude that apparently works in our building (i didn’t see him, but shawn sees him often…) was talking to the black cowboy about another black cowboy as we were leaving.

there’s another black cowboy that roams DUMBO? wtf.

so we decided to skip almondine because the soup sucked… shawn wanted sushi so we went to peas & pickles. (deli/supermarket thing) – there he could grab his sushi, there i could grab some chips. so i was walking up the chip aisle and lo and behold… there was my midnight cowboy. listening to me ask shawns opinion on my chip decision… cool ranch doritos or french onion sun chips… he then proceeded to compliment my hair, and then goes and grabs a beer (lol, at 12:30 PM)… he then comes over to me and helps me make my final decision about my lunch snack… he told me that “every body needs to go a little french sometimes”. with this flirty little smirk, and kept moseying on out.

true story.

not too exciting, went to work…  i haven’t gone out for st. patty’s and celebrated in over 2 years…  but maybe that’s a good thing.  people looked like morons stumbling all throughout penn station at 6:30 pm…

…although i tweeted about it already, i’ll blabber on here about how earlier in the afternoon, i saw jason schwartzman in the health food market thing by my job… (the overpriced organic store) – and i honestly just thought he was someone i knew, so i gave him exactly that look.. and 2 seconds later it hit me… who he was and that he must have thought i was going to maul him in hopes of some sort of contact – he had that “i’ve been spotted” face on, and shuffled into an aisle to hide – boo that. apparently he lives in dumbo…  but i’ve never seen him around…  i’ve only seen jermaine dupri, denis leary, a gossip girl and spike lee… (that rude DICK.)

tonight i went home to erica, we had dinner and watched a nutso ranger game. (yes, we won.)
i’ll spare you all the nail biting details. go look up the highlights if you care…  it was INSANE!

i’m sitting here dying my bangs, bored…  looking forward to tomorrow’s weather…  i keep saying i should have taken off tomorrow but i didn’t even go out tonight, i’m lame.  would have been a wasted day off… bell blvd. looked annoyingly packed and rowdy, so maybe it was for the best.

so i’ve been consistent with this whole blogging thing in the past few months, so i feel the need to constantly do it.  but right now, i’m exhausted and i have nothing to talk about and feel totally boring, lol…  so i’m gonna go wash this shit out of my hair and go shower.

aren’t these lovely? i bought them both this weekend.
along with a new bikini, a new bag, a new jacket, a shit load of new iron-on letters, two more necklaces (almost forgot about the tigerrrr).

i am scared to even think about what getting to work tomorrow is going to be like in this snow…  i’m going to have to wake up like a half an hour earlier than normal to attempt getting there on time…

SO the weekend…
