Damn That Mother Chucker.

Gossip Girl season 2 premiere in t-minus 20 hours ....& something minutes :D!

PS Most of the Gulf Coast has evacuated in preparation for Hurricane Gustav. That is unbelievable. At least they're acting in advance.

"Back to school, back to school..."

"...to prove to dad that I'm not a fool."

Fall classes
» French 101: I am so happy to be taking french classes again (last I took them were in high school). My professor is hilarious & very enthusiastic. She only speaks french, which isn't a problem for me but it would suck if you had no idea what she was saying. I'm trying to perfect my pronunciations haha.

» Anatomy/Physiology II: These kinds of classes always interest me. My professor has a PhD & a british accent! And, she has slides on blackboard (which is a rarity for professors in BMCC) so that cuts down being lost/confused with lectures.

» Intro to Painting: Again, another type of class I haven't done since high school. My professor is very chill (maybe too much...can you say timid?). The projects are fun & one of them is a trip to an art museum to sketch 2 pieces that I like. I can't wait (its in the middle of the semester though -_-). I think I want to go to the MET for one painting/sculpture & MoMa for the other. It's too bad that the Dali exhibit ends Sept 15th.

» Writing 101: And last but not least. This one is the one that this whole semester rides on because I need to get an A in this class. If not, I don't know what I'd do. Its a typical Intro Writing class (like the one I took at Stony). I'm worried because I don't have many strengths in writing (I don't even think my writing is all that great on this blog). Even in Stony, I had some difficulty with it (as well as being distracted by a certain guy in the class). But, I'm trying not to be negative. I'm gonna try to do my best and I just have to keep in mind of why I'm taking it.

This happens to be a semester where I really enjoy the classes.
And, it seems to be one where I can get in touch with my creative side. Yay :D

There's no better time than the time with friends.

A late happy birthday to my un nombre fille, Robyn Bell!
And a birthday isn't a birthday without a traditional city trip.
Central Park, Cafe Tasia & row boats.
[I had more pictures but they got lost during the upload...STUPID USB CORD!]

That was the best day to spend the last day of summer ^_^.

-M

PS I'm so GLAD it's the weekend and that I managed to survive the first few days of school. More on classes later.

Summer's end.

[via iPhone]
Friends, food, fun....
Today was a perfect day.

As usual, pics later (I AM on the subway).
Ugh, I can't believe I have class tomorrow.

I heart NY.

First, we had Paris Je T'aime and now we move on to New York.



I love how HUGE the cast list is & how the stories and characters mingle with each other. And, can I add that most of the songs in that trailer were awesome (Mika, Feist, Regina Spektor)?

I'm gonna go buy Paris Je T'aime now....

-M

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

NOT.
2 more days till classes start -_-.

To the Pebbly Creek.

On a Friday morning, a young girl took a train to visit the wondrous world of Stonybrook...

I heart watching Dead Like Me with B as well as a MacBook Pro gift and just B, in general. Oh, and packages from the mail!

The new Javitts.








My old dorm.


Yay!

Speeding trains.

Riding along this crazy train.
LIRR rides aren't so bad.



I had a great time at Stony and I absolutely love B ♥.
Pics later. *yawn*.

Oh my, DIY!

For the past nights, I've been ravaged into recreating the House of Holland tees from Henry Holland's One Trick Pony collection.


Lo' & behold after 4 nights, I've completed it.

Materials: tee, stencil (use acetate paper), x-acto knife,
fabric paint, roller brush, patience

1) Create stencil.


2) Cut out stencil on acetate paper.


3) Paint stencil on tee.


4) Done!


I'd rather make my own then shell out $75 for the actual thing :P.

"It's Friday night and I ain't got nobody."

Missing BBT :P
We went to the MET last saturday. And, I FINALLY got to see the Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy exhibit. I took a lot of pics but broke it down to these that I really like.

Moschino for Superman.


Batman suit Christian Bale wore.


Thomas Eakins - The Thinker
It's a painting I really admire.


John Singer Sargent - Madame X
It's elegant, which is why I like it.


Jeff Koons - Balloon Dog


Concrete meets nature.
It's a beautiful contrast.


Roy Lichtenstein - Crak! Now, Mes Petits... Pour La France!
The pop art & use of francais caught my attention.

-M

PS I am so bummed that the HP & the Half Blood Prince film will premiere July 2009 instead of November this year. [Source]

A ce jeu excitant.

Spiked Love.

There's no chance in heck that I'll wear these, let alone afford it
but those are the sexiest shoes I've ever seen. Christian Louboutin is divine.

Boats & ho's.

Title is a reference to the Stepbrothers movie.
A day with Robyn Bell consists of Stepbrothers, Cosi's, Crumbs, St. Mark's, asian supermarkets, shopping & hidden parks w. great views. And I found a straw fedora at St. Mark's (but it was $20, which I didn't have on me but I'll head back there and get in the future).

Salt...


Suck...

Obscene mannequins.




Outfits I liked but didn't have the money for -_-
