My year in review... →
2011 has been my best year ever! I will probably say this about every year hereafter as this is what I have learned from insightful people like Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, Michael Neill and the like… Your thoughts create your life!
Your actions and emotions are all created from your perceptions, your philosophies about what life is, and what you choose to do with it. Life is all about choices...

Craigslist is Creepy... →
Looking for an apartment in NYC on craigslist is like searching for your soul mate. You gotta see the worst before you can identify the best! This is my 5th move in 3.5 years here in the city. It is possible to find a good deal w/a cool roommate in a cute apartment on a pretty block. (This is my positive affirmation.) I’ve been searching for the past 2 weeks and haven’t slept well for...

Roller Skate under the High Line! →
As of today, The High Line Rink is now open for business! I am super excited about anything having to do with roller skating :] When I was a kid, it was my absolute favorite activity. On my eighth birthday, I got white roller skates with neon pink laces, and I drew hearts and stars on them with black permanent marker. I would skate up and down the driveway, spinning around and around for hours. It...

What to do...July 22 - 24 →
While most of the people I have talked to are going to the beach…stick around the city for the heatwave, journey from A/C to A/C, and try not to step on the tourists!
Friday, July 22: Watch Back to the Future with the kids when the sun sets on The Intrepid or see The Princess Bride at Pier 46. I always loved that movie!!! Be sure to bring water, popsicles, one of those tiny-ass fans, and...

Ghost World & NOTflix Party Tonight! →
Ghost World is one of my all-time favorite films! And the soundtrack is amazing! I absolutely adore Thora Birch in this movie!!! I was the Enid character when I was in high school. I had blue hair, drew cartoons and collected records; and my friends and I would sit at the diner observing the crazy people and wishing we could have our own apartment. Oh, those were the days in my tiny-ass Florida...

A Brokelyn list of indie theaters →
No one likes crappy movies. Not me, not you…so why does Hollywood keep making so much crap? Furthermore…why do people continue even going to the movies when they are bad?! Bad writing, bad acting, dumb story lines…WHY?! Now you don’t have to waste your time with mainstream cinemas, overpriced popcorn, bed bug infested seats, and screaming children - unless you count the...

What to do...April 15 - 17 →
TONIGHT: Enjoy some country music at Branded Saloon in Prospect Heights - 603 Vanderbilt Ave. in Brooklyn. Country is such a broad weird term. Let’s just say that there involves a banjo, bass dance beats, accordion, awesome harmonies, and hillbilly sing-a-longs. It reminds me of my roots.
Join the Alex Mallett Band, JP and the Gilberts and Medicine Woman starting at 9pm in the back. *As I...

The Daffodil Project began in 2001 as a living memorial to those who lost their lives on September 11th. You can see them all over the city, in fact, there are...
