I look out the window and the tree guys are back!!! Noooooo
The city came to cut down some of the trees on our street, so sad
Was worried that when I got home our tree would be gone too 😦
After work I met up with Kiki at Shin Sen Gumi
My fav ramen in LA—slightly updated menu with “combo ramen” (I think for indecisive folks haha)
Walked over to the Nuart Theater to see Raw with my ladies
Went to see Raw, cannibalism, coming of age, female sexuality all wrapped into a film…
The next morning, the tree guys are back…
Thigh bruising? FROM WHAT AM I OK
Enjoyed my subtle bright color pops
On the way to my asian mamas collective dinner and the sky was like WOWWOOWO
Group testing the kimchi fried rice
And when I got home…NOOOOOO THE TREE NOOOOO
I was assembling clothes to pack for the weekend in New York and Sufi wouldn’t let me finish
The one benefit of the missing tree is a crazy amount of light in the kitchen and bedroom
Working on a project I was given last minute, took to the work with some watermelon gummy sharks
Sneaky pic in the conservation studios
Last kisses to Glenn before heading to the airport
He’s discovered Pokemon Go and won’t stop
When Zach goes to see family in New York, we usually take the red eye to save on travel time since the flight is like 5 1/2 hours. This one was especially rough because it was like 9pm LA time and we landed like 5:30am NY time…so we napped until like 9:30 and finally got ready for the day
We got there the day after the big storm they had, there was snow all over the streets
Fascinated by the doggos in this climate…where do they poop
Stopped at one of my fav NY stores…Flying Tiger aka Tiger, the home goods/design store from Copenhagen
So many things I wanted to get…but that made no sense to pack in my suitcase
Tiiiired from the red eye still
Snuck into the Whitney Biennial preview day
Sneaking some poop paintings in there
Late night guac, watermelon and tequila and tacos
Cheeks a lil’ read—shock to the NY weather maybe
Popped into the Japanese book shop
In Eataly, looking at all the breads and then proceeded to watch a crew clean a bottle of olive oil up in like 2 minutes with epson salt. Amazeballs.
New shooooes — wished I could wear them in NY but it was too cold
Textile works by Zach’s sister
Met up with Alyssa who happened to be in town at the same time!
Zach’s ma took us out to see Sweeney Todd at the Barrow Street Theater
This is the theater! It was transformed to look like a pie shop, and they actually had pies to eat before the show started. We sat in these little seats during the show and performers were running up and down the tables and singing/etc. It was a really fun show! I also really only knew of that one Sweeney Todd song that was in Jersey Girl (somehow had that buried deep in my memory bank)
Outside the theater…apparently somebody actually died from falling ice earlier that week
Went to some galleries in Chelsea
Met up with some of Zach’s friends and had a frozen marg at this kitschy bar
Later we went to see Zeen’s fav…Wilco! Almost stole this pup on duty
Then we decided to just walk down to the Lower East Side
169 Bar, snuck in for a quick beer before heading to the airport
Just a quick hotdog while running to the airport
only just the beginning of the journey
Snacks and still chugging through Helter Skelter…
We made it safely back to LA!
Much love friends.
