Television is Evil

I missed a very cool gig tonight because I got sucked into watching Batman Begins on cable tv. This is not the first time I missed a gig because I got sucked into watching something mentally unredeeming on the small screen. Will power, where are you?

To be fair, Batman Begins was not that bad.

Ok, That Woke Me Up

Bloc Party will play The Theatre @Madison Square Garden.
(yay!)
Bloc Party will be opening for Panic! at the Disco.
(falls off chair)

Why??? Something is not quite right here. Are Bloc Party in desperate need for tween fans?

Still on Vegas Time

It's 2:03 am, and I'm still keyed up. My body is in New York, but my brain feels like it is still in Las Vegas. After a weekend in Vegas, you'd think that I would be passed out like this guy, whom I spotted near the Wynn:


But no. My brain is still buzzing from neon lights, explosions from volcanos, dancing on rooftops, 5am blackjack (I just watched!) and sounds of dingalinging Wheel of Fortune slot machines. Need some time to collect my thoughts about the trip, but one thing I do know. I can't wait to visit again.

The Strip brings the world to you (New York, Monte Carlo and Paris all within a few blocks).

Scary 20 foot showgirl gazing down at puny humans.

Vegas is for (teenage emo) lovers.

More photos here (don't worry, they are all G-rated).

The Lights Go Out in Brooklyn

for a few seconds, but enough to make me scream silently in my head, "noooooooo!"

It's crazy hot in the city. Which is making me obssess about the weather; therefore making me blog about the weather twice in a row.

Skipped an invite to drink with co-workers at some outdoor roof bar (alcohol + outdoors + 100 degree heat = passed out chica). Clomped home in my platform sandals, clutching the sides of my flowy skirt (it's hot but occasionally gusty necessitating certain precautions lest a wardrobe malfunction occur). Holed up in my air-conditioned apartment with Coco who has developed a liking for licking my ears. When will this heat end?

Listening to:
Delays - You See Colours (A fantastic album; when is it "officially" being released in the US? None of this expensive import nonsense.)
