Deliciouscratic? Hmm, bad title?

The VP debate was, unfortunately, not as unfortunate for Palin as most of us anticipated. No worries, she'll have plenty more chances.

Bahareh whipped up some more deliciousness for the screening at ours.
Rolan spent half the time text-debating with his Republican/Floridian friend. Guillo, on the other hand, spent his phone time most wisely.

To my 5 friends...

Please forward to YOUR 5 friends.

A night in the 20s

Saturday was our buddy, Margie's, bday and she invited us to come celebrate in true 20s style. Jelsen stayed home and worked while I dug through my closet to find something that would pass the dress code and ventured to Williamsburg. It was a fun night filled with old friends and great conversations (shout out to Lee!) and one very happy and excited birthday girl.

Friendly Joe finally opened in BK

I've been keeping up with the opening of Trader Joe's new store in Brooklyn and been planning a trip there all weekend. Today I hopped on a bus which takes me literally from outside my house to right outside Joe's new house in a matter of minutes!
The store is set in the old Independence Bank building and looks as beautiful on the inside as on the outside. It's big, open and bright due to the high high ceilings and enormous windows. At first glance it was pretty busy, but at the same time I was left with plenty of personal space around my cart. The deals were great and I picked up a bunch of mouth watering goodness I've always wanted to try out but never bothered to stand in line at the Union Sq. location for.

The infamous "End of Line" barely reached around the corner from the registers! I didn't even stand still with my cart in the line, it was a steady and comfortable pace all the way.
Tony kindly asked me to not take any pictures of the store and I obliged. After all, he agreed to let me snap one of him in his Hawaiian shirt before tucking my camera away.
108,62 dollars spent and about 17 meals planned out in my head already. Thanks, Joe!

We'll consider it an honest attempt.
Thanks Jasi B.

"haha. You know how we do. Even lactose intollerants had to dip into the ice cream sammiches. No worries though there is always a next time at 388 Myrtle."

Rebuttles Aplenty

Last night was the 1st Presidential Debate, finally. Jasaun hosted a screening at her BedStuy brownstone (one must specify certain things).

The audience sure knew how to throw popcorn at the screen.
Who won? Ill let you know on Nov. 4th.

Notorious. Hmmm

Ok, so i might get my Brooklyn ID Card revoked for this but i really dont think Mr. Black Alfred Hitchcock is big-budget film worthy. Yes, yes - he was DOPE....but, c'mon - there have been better emcees with much longer careers (ok, so he was murdered) that i'd rather spend $11 bucks at the theater to see.

They even cast Angela Bassett?! Oh c'mon now.

I love Biggie, but his life's been already documented best: through his own lyrics. So, why the movie? blah.

...and im not gonna compare him to Tupac, either.

Gabe, thanks for the link.

Good Morning // 21

Since thursday, Bahareh told me to make sure not to make any plans for monday morning. I agreed, secretly wishing the surprise'll be a behind-the-scenes tour of the Big Apple Circus.

WRONG.

Instead, we rode the bus to Brooklyn Heights for Bikram yoga. And it was friggin amazing. My very first time, too. 90 FULL minutes of 'rediscovering' muscles and tendants previously lost.
The back of my knees are feeling it all, right now.

Thanks baby,
