Oh Yeah.

BG I have one word (well image) for you....

my new obsession

is poladroid - a program that takes any picture and converts it into an old-school polaroid, complete with the white border, darkened edges, and blurred, sepia tones. the camera also ejects the picture and you can not only watch it develop, but shake it to develop faster.

here are more samples - seriously, i can't stop!

you can download poladroid here.

YoNYC #40

this is one of my favorite days of the year in new york...marathon sunday! i recently "started" (attempted more like it) running and i am inspired - don't think i could ever do 26.2!

somewhere...

this morning, i awoke with - oddly - over the rainbow stuck in my head.

on the train, i checked out my horoscope, which was quite fitting for my internal soundtrack:

Pisces - Your imagination carries you away to a wonderful story land. This is Monday. Do you need to focus on work?

work? nah...Oz is much better.

is this a surprise?

i'll admit that the crystal meth was a bit of a shock. but, is anyone surprised that this was a wig? anyone? (i'm glad i get to use our 'fun with hair tag' for this post.)

muffin of the week

now that the weather is cooler, it's time to put the oven on and bring back muffin of the week. that, and the fact that i've watched a "cake boss" marathon and had a major need to bake something. anything.

this week, banana chocolate chip. even whipped up some cinnamon honey butter to go with. yum!

best commute ever! rode home in a vintage new york 1920s subway car.

it was out of retirement and en route to yankee stadium for the world series, but was making regular express stops. straw seats, exposed lightbulbs, ceiling fan and vintage ads...so cool!

speaking of eyepatches...

yesterday at the ophthalmologist i had to wear an eyepatch for a vision field test.

i almost started laughing at the thought of what i looked like. probably utterly ridiculous!

is this needed?
