Poison Control Center in New York City


The Poison Control Center are playing at Pianos on Ludlow Street tonight. Come!

*The dude in the middle is not in the band, he is a radio host for KEXP Seattle.

I bought some new knives this weekend. Now that I cook all the time, I thought I should have more than just one (very dull) knife. Good knives are amazing! In honor of my new knives I have been having canteloup, spaghetti squash and very ripe tomatoes.

Oatmeal is magical, malleable, healthy, filling, and delicious. I'm becoming obsessed.

New York City, Summer 2008


I am gathering work for my new website. I am finding some oldies but goodies, like this giraffe in an extra long scarf.

I am going to lunch with Carolyn Bean today! She is in town to run a half marathon tomorrow. This is my favorite (very beaten-up) picture of us, taken at our graduation from Parsons.

Bye Bye, Brian.


My brother Brian went back to Florida on Wednesday. We had a great time together!

Everything is on sale in New York right now. I am trying to abstain.

Summer Sale



I know I just bought a pair of shoes last week, but I can't wear huge wooden platforms everyday. My everyday summer shoes that I bought in May are worn out. I went to DSW to replace them but all they had were fall shoes and boots. No! It's mid-July! There's a lot more summer shoe time. I was worried. But then today, while walking Nino, I found these precious little gems on sale. Neon and metallic! Black! And snakeskin! All is right in Alli-World.

I had fish tacos from Nick's Crispy Tacos three out of the five days I was in California.

Sunday at Dad's




You don't want to get in the way of this poker game.

I just got these shoes for $19.99. The gods are smiling down on me today.

It's a good time to be a Yankee fan in New York City!

That's my brother Chris on the Great Wall of China.
I am proud of this brave traveling man.

These m & m's were chilling out in the craziest store I have ever been to in San Francisco, or maybe the world. This store was a freak out. More pictures to come.

Look who was making all that noise in my fridge! Gah!

Thursday, July 10, 2008


I did a drawing of Nino and Marcy as a present for Donna. She calls the dogs "The Toddlers".
I love that.

My refrigerator is making noises. Like someone's unwrapping candy in there. Or a family of mice are playing poker in there with tiny chips. Or someone's popping tiny bubble wrap. What is it?

Never say never.


While in San Francisco I was invited to be a member of the unofficial (and very exclusive) Napa Crocs Club, and presented with a brand new pair of red Crocs upon initiation. They are fun to wear when you are retrieving an egg from the hen house, but I don't quite know when they are appropriate in New York City.

Nino just got dropped off at my apartment after a week in the country. He was asleep before his head rested on the floor.

Home.


I just got back from San Francisco. I am so tired and sweaty. A shower and sleep are in my very near future. Pictures from California to come soon after...

Going to California

I have lost six pounds.


I guess this is what six pounds looks like. I lost a chihuaha. I guess that feels pretty good...
