speakin' of food
my body started to crave a certain seasonal delicacy on about october 13th. yes, that would be baskin robbins' pumpkin pie ice cream. believe you me, that is some good stuff and not all baskin robbins carry it, so i suggest you get on the lookout for it. it's only available during the fall, so get it while it's hot. and if you get yourself some and don't like it, i will, personally, refund your money. not really.
hallo, yummy!
if you work or live within a 20 block radius of the hallo berlin street cart at 54th street and 5th ave, you must take advantage of it. that is some good, cheap eats. i know that it always wins street vendor awards, and it is well deserved. so good! i could seriously eat the single soul food mix ($5 for one sausage, home fried potatoes, sauerkraut, cabbage, fried onions, mustard, and a roll) everyday for lunch. and i just want to shout out a big f you to the female tourist who walked past the long line for hallo berlin and whined, "all of these people are waiting in line for a hotdog?" um, applebee's is that way.
check out it!
my friend, andy mueller, and his wife have a small design company called the quiet life with cool t-shirts, music, photography, and more. take a gander. they are also having a 2-week sale, so you don't want to miss that. oh, and a make-a-music-video contest. neat-o!

oh, it's only queens, right?
i'm seriously getting tired of this whole yankees pitcher airplane crash drama. the local news is treating it like a terrorist attack, and the funniest part about it is that i saw on the news yesterday that it's just made the city aware of the fact that a similar small aircraft could release some sort of biological weapon. duh! shouldn't this have been an issue like five years ago? oh wait, i just found this:
"A smart terrorist could load up a small, little plane with biological, chemical or even nuclear material and fly up the Hudson or East rivers, no questions asked," said Schumer, D-New York. "I hope this will be a wake-up call to the FAA to re-examine flight patterns, which, amazingly enough, they haven't done since 9/11."
now, there's this "breaking news" from cnn.com:
Fixed-wing planes have been banned from the East River corridor in New York unless the pilot is in contact with air traffic control, the Federal Aviation Administration said Friday.
let me just translate this for you. what they are really saying is don't fly near the island of manhattan, but over queens, who cares? there's this seaplane that takes rich people to the hamptons, and when i was walking home from the subway tonight, it was low enough to land on my street. grrrr!
p.s. i live in queens.

omg, i can't wait!
i can't wait until i receive my copy of tamagotchi corner shop which i just ordered for my nintendo ds lite. it looks awesome and so cute. check out the trailer here (it will play after the advertisement)! seriously, you've got to get one of these nintendo ds lites. they're the best, until the nintendo wii comes out in november. you can actually use the sensor remote to play a sport like tennis, golf, or bowling. you do the actions. oh boy. i'm never going to read a book again!

do da dry humpty hump
so this morning, the e train was crowded but not so crowded for some guy to be piggybackin' another guy. i mean this big guy was literally on top of this little guy, and they were definitely strangers. all in all, it made me wonder, "is this what prison is like?"
i speaks the truth in my sleep
darkpony says that he and i had this conversation last night. i was asleep.
hazeldove: "don't do too many puzzles!"
darkpony: "what?"
hazeldove: "you like to do puzzles. just don't do too many!"
darkpony: "ok!"
that's right.
hazeldove: "don't do too many puzzles!"
darkpony: "what?"
hazeldove: "you like to do puzzles. just don't do too many!"
darkpony: "ok!"
that's right.

now i'm tooting darkpony's horn
get your mind out of the gutter! anyhoo, darkpony never thinks i like his "sci fi" pics, but i really do. i just saw this one today, and i really like the colors and the text. i like everything about it. you should really check out darkpony's flickr page, and if you are really brave, you can join his apocoLALA group! it's so mad max though i've never seen mad max. what a travesty!
not to toot my own horn or anything
but i was hangin' with my super fashiony friend, g., the other night, and he said verbatim, "what do you think about this skinny jean trend that you started?," and i said, "holla!" okay, i didn't really say that, but i like to imagine i did. anyway, it's kind of true, not really. i've been wearing the skinny jeans for close to five years now, though i've really got to give skinny jean props to the punk or ska kids that have been wearing the black skinny jeans from trash and vaudeville 4eva. anyhoo, at one time it was impossible to find the skinny blue jeans, and i remember a particularly harrowing moment many moons ago when i went looking for skinny jeans at saks fifth avenue. the woman gave me a big lecture how those types of jeans were not the style but that boot cut were the hot look. well, i think i'm going to go there today and ask for some boot cuts to see what she says the hot trend is. what a female dog! oh, and don't even get me started on leggings...
me like, part deux
i just wanted to let you know about another street style blog that i like and that is updated often and is muy good. it's called stockholm streetstyle and is in swedish. yeah meatballs!

this is why i wear flats
this morning i was on the e train to work, and saw some guy wearing a truly awful suit and tie, playing with his cell phone. anyhoo, what made it even worse than that suit and tie was the fact that he was a total perv. not your classic dry hump you in a really crowded train kind of perv, but in a silent i'm taking pictures of your feet with my cameraphone, especially if you are wearing high heels, kind of perv. icky! when i got off the train, i happened to catch a glimpse of his cell phone screen, and there was a picture of a foot in a high heel. gross! beware ladies of nyc! beware!
