this ain't no joke

i started a new job today as the national events manager for weddings at this fine establishment!* if you need a DJ, i am your supplier. your sugar mama for the sweet, sweet music, as it were.

*showing redonkulous proximity to current domicile.

thursday night boys & girls. just saw the great levon helm at terminal 5. here's a treat via alexis:

here are some favorite iphone snaps from this year - except for the last one, which was taken by my friend ben on new years eve. woke up with confetti in my hair, stuck to my face, and strewn around the floor of the apartment. either the mark of a fine evening, or proof that you're sleeping with a glitter monster.

ta ta 2009!

listen, maira kalman: your pursuit of happiness series this year in the times is just beyond. i can't wait to buy your new book, you are exhaustingly prolific, and your style just gets me right here. i'm pointing to my heart. do you want to grab a coffee sometime? call me if you do. we can go someplace with fancy tea service and ladies with crazy hats and charcuterie plates with cornichons and mismatching vintage silver.

i know this was not a personal new years gift to me, but can i pretend that it was?
