Actually Cafe Habana is on 17 Prince Street. Delicious corn on the cob. I forgot to say that we saw Danny Masterson from That 70’s show sporting an awesome beard. (He was getting takeaway too)
While Aiko was here we also shopped. We went to The Market NYC, which is open, Saturday and Sunday on Mulberry Street. She bought this great jacket from Mia Kim. The style is like the renaissance variety, but the neckline is more open and the jacket is short. I love the great bell sleeves.

I love the art of this guy, but his website is lacking. Something about enlarging a sketch from a matchbook is fantastic. It is delicate and sweet and at the same time you are a bit taken a back because the size is off. Something about it works, I only wish the site worked.

The night we went to Gray’s Papaya there was a guy across the street with a big telescope. He is out around the city, not peeping into apartments like J thought, but rather looking at stars. Pretty cool since you don’t see many stars here in the city. The city at night gets a gray glow. It never gets dark, just murky gray.
Actually kind of a glowy gray. One of the first places I lived when I moved out here was a residence where you just rented a room, so my room was really really small. It had pretty much only room for a twin bed and a tiny desk. In the summer I was dying. I couldn’t handle the heat and the stickiness. It was awful. I was hot all the time and at night it didn’t cool down and there was nowhere for me to go. So I would take my pillow and blanket with a sheet and walk up to the roof of the building. I was on the top floor, so I would just sneak out at night. I am sure it wasn’t allowed, but I figured if I didn’t ask I didn’t know. So I would sleep under the stars, but never would see them. It was actually really fun, probably a bit dangerous, but exciting nonetheless. Plus I could sleep. I couldn’t sleep in my room, because there was one tiny window with no circulation. It was my only choice. By the end of the summer I found an apartment and the first thing I put in was an air conditioner. But those months on the roof were great. Something about hearing really hearing the city go to sleep was peaceful?!

At work we were talking about the new Guy Van Sant movie Last Day about Kurt Cobain. I found this amazing French website with great flash. The image moves around with you mouse. It is weirdly beautiful.

Everything from the Tirade post looks fantastic! I bought a book from this guy. My In-laws are going to be excited. I want this one too! And this one.
