a couple pics from a bar in williamsburg, brooklyn. 

the shopping in this part of town was surreal.  

this bar had sand on the ground throughout
it was sea-side themed - almost pirate-esque

fall: a recapitulation

colourful leaves are always a favorite. 

some people who warm my heart. 

spent a lot of time studying in this living room. I will miss it tremendously when Adrian moves, and will miss Joey and Jess even more.

stole heaps of little bro's halloween candy.

best! 

witnessed this beautiful couple re-kindle their high school love. 

Staci truly is the girl next door.

took a course on Buddhism, and went to a Buddhist temple. 

family is where the heart is. 

Laureate got some pretty sweet tunes off the ground. 

check em' out here for a gander. 

fall of 2010 seemed like the most stressful thing ever while I was in the midst of living it. but now the snow has hit the ground, and now the grant applications and pre-grad school exams have been handed in and passed. and taking the time to look back on certain moments with more peace of mind, it seems it may not have been so bad after all. I think too often I let myself get overwhelmed by the details, when really it is the bigger picture that really counts.

countdown

in hand: second to last completed assignment before I graduate with my BA. now, all I have left are one paper and three exams. yes! 

thanks Bronson!

I am studying at the library with Bronson and he just gave me this awesome desktop background! sweet! 

hair cut anyone?

I have been getting my hair did at the same place now for over 3 years. never been disappointed. her name is JJ and I am loyal to only her. for $15 and the option of getting your bike tuned up at the same time, you cannot possibly go wrong. more info here.
