the bigger apple

i am in new york for this week and next.

last night, i had dinner at blue hill. i burst out laughing while eating the chocolate bread pudding because it was so disgustingly good. also visited the chelsea market and one of my favorite nyc shops, abc carpet. while in the meat packing district, mary and i took a left turn onto 22nd street and 11 ave (filled with small private galleries, some with amazing installations) and came upon the comme des garcons boutique. i've never seen one in real life. it was otherworldly. this coat is calling my name. down a bit was the balenciaga store. and as things go, there is one dress there which will not leave my mind. grey, long sleeve, knee length wool knit with special pleating around the neck. it must relent soon, lest i blow my fall winter 2009 - spring summer 2015 budget.

tomorrow i am planning on visiting park slope and dumbo, and maybe hang out with my friend if he is recovered from swine flu. no more market appointments until next week. YES.

i hear that the bodies exhibit is showing down around the seaport. but i also hear that most of the cadavers are, suspiciously, chinese men and i don't know about that. i also don't know if i want to know what a preserved weiner looks like.

hi reva. mikey here. i was checking lesley's blog and saw your's on her's so i checked it. i read about chewy... i mean cookie. so i continue to read on to see if he/she was a special friend (if you know what i mean) and i came across this post and i don't know why but it made me laugh so hard. maybe b.c david's in school and so i get to see weird pics of weiners. but yes, good choice not to want to see a preserved weiner. especially an asian man's at that ;). nothing against asians. i mean i'm one too. but you know what i mean. ;) it would be like seeing your's dad's. or in my case. my sumchan. thinking of you. cheers and love. mike.
