“Pick your nose” party cups modeled by Kristin. Find ‘em @ Target.
I am sad that I was not the first person I know to have these at a party but am so happy Stacy was. I don’t think a mustache suits me well….
I just read about this website, playlistnow.fm, where you can stream user-generated playlists for whatever mood you are in. I most definitely will use this when I’m getting ready to go out considering iTunes (I’m too lazy to DJ) and MusicChoice (too mainstream sometimes) can only get my party started and pump me up so much.
Here’s the edited down summary from Thrillist:
“People create playlists for all sorts of occasions, like house parties, road trips, and those first few sessions of lovemaking before the act is forever tinged with sadness. Hitting you with music for occasions you never even thought of, PlaylistNow.fm.
This free ‘n’ easy user-generated playlist portal streams an eclectic selection of YouTube and music-blog-sourced tunes that are organized into categories and lists specifically designed to fit with whatever you’re up to. Browse tags from basic moods (i.e. tired, melancholic, nostalgic), to places/things connected to what you’re doing (computer, work, girlfriend…), or search to get uber-specific options from “having dirty sex”, to “partying very hard”, to “on the toilet”. Pick one, and you’ll get a list full of tracks you can shuffle or skip forward/back to at any time, from artists as mainstream as Jay-Z and Beck to more obscure acts. You can bookmark any playlist and add particular tracks to your own Favorites list and it also recommends other tracks by the same artist; of course, you can also author your own playlists and assign them relevant mood/activity tags.”
P.S. I love that 2 of the playlists on the first page include illlegal drugs and dirty sex, haha!
Kinda love this…
I love LOVE this commercial. This Target TV campaign is by far one of my favorites over the past few years. I think because I’m obsessed with Black Friday at Target (think 7am) like this lady has alot to do with it. It’s seriously one of my favorite days of the year. They could have just casted me :)
Reason #41 I love New York
Red Hook ballfield food trucks
As I just gave the Brooklyn Flea Market #40, I realized I forgot post about the Red Hook ballfield food trucks! Yikes!
In the beginning of the summer (when I lost my lust for Tumblr-ing), Matt and I made the trip to Red Hook (Brooklyn) for a day of food. Between the 2 of us, we wanted to try as much as we could: empanadas, tacos, flautas, pupusas, grilled corn, sandia…I’m sure I’m forgetting something. Watching soccer games in the sun while eating some authentic (and fantastic) South American food…hot damn, sometimes I think I should have been latin!
Reason #40 I love New York
The Brooklyn Flea Market
I FINALLY made it to the Brooklyn Flea Market in Fort Greene (Brooklyn) last Saturday with my college bff Clare (and coincidentally it was the last outside weekend). Let me tell you, with all the vintage clothing and furnishings and the antique jewelry and furniture, I could have spent 1) all day there and 2) TONS and TONS of money. Alas, I only purchased awesome black boots and a ring. And ten there were the food options. Lobster rolls, gourmet hotdogs, Pupusas and tacos, on my! My Huarache (from the Red Hook food trucks!) was def. a little piece of heaven. It was an amazing afternoon and I will most certainly be back when it’s time to furnish a new place! LOVE YOU BK FLEA MARKET!
This was what last week consisted of for me. High fever, aches and a HORRIBLE cough for the entire week (yes, I do believe it was Swine considering I got my flu shot a month ago). I have NEVER been that sick in my life and never took an entire week off of work for being sick. It actually makes me appreciate my good health now and more mindful of what I do to my body going forward. For once in a long time, I feel refreshed. Monday, bring it on!!
Nor’easter Ida is killing the Jersey coast…poor AC
Long story short:
Need black boots. Found perfect boots at Urban. $400-too expensive. Went down to $299. Still too expensive. Nicole Richie photographed wearing them. Her style is my absolute favorite. So happy. Now boots sold out at Urban. Me sad :(
Reason #39 I love New York
You can take the people out of New York, but you can’t take the New York out of the people.
The last song of the night from Sarah and Devin’s wedding. And yes, Rockette kicks were in full-effect (with the Statue of Liberty) before the Johnson’s stole [their] show.
Abe Lincoln REPRESENT!
Sarah and Devin got married!
Last weekend (10/24/09) a bunch of us New Yorkers made our way to the Land of Lincoln, Springfield, IL, to see two of the most genuine and my favorite people in the world tie the night. It was a weekend filled of fun, love and beards! Sarah and Dev looked amazing and were so happy that I can only hope I pull of my wedding the way they did.
Congrats Johnsons!! xoxo
i was in China when all these shenanigans went down…but this is pretty awesome.
