white out


Yup, pull out those white pants and white shoes.

Well, I don't know about those shoes, Bean. I think you barefoot in those linen trousers would look smashing! Kinda like this but minus the chest hair.

cinco says


It's Cinco de Mayo!
Bean has super long list of all the ways he is going to celebrate. Here is a sampling:

#1. Watch "The Three Amigos" (also my numero uno)
#45. Eat another burrito
#97. Get a pet cucaracha
#108. Shake maracas again
#116. Watch "Nacho Libre"
#154. Kill all cucarachas in the house except the pet one
#162. Ask for a taste of Nora's Margarita
(#34 on Nora's list- Deny Bean a taste of my Margarita or any other like beverage. Only let him drink Jarritos)
#163. Pick my favorite Jarritos flavor
#178. Play some soccer
#201. Watch "Selena"
#202. Make a jumpsuit like Selena's

don't wade in the water


Don't you even think about taking those galoshes off, Bean. When the streets flood, sewer water mixes in with rain water, so you keep those boots on your feet.

















*The flood waters are pretty much gone but it just kills me to see news footage of parents letting their kids play around in the water on the street. Don't they know that is sewer water with tons of bacteria!

beam Bean up


Bean also likes the eye wear the "Reading Rainbow man" wears on the "outer space tv show". But can you even see through those, Bean?




















*Sitting in on a script read through for a production that featured "space pirates", I let my mind wander as I tried to picture what such costumes would look like. I imagined the space version of the pirate eye patch would be these.

poor pupils



The lack of human ears keeps Bean's options of UV protective eye wear limited to things that sit on top of his head. But this allows Bean to explore the vast varieties of hats available on the market. So far he is fond of the ones with mesh in the back.

Hopefully Ray Ban and Persol didn't have their hearts set on having Bean as a spokesperson.















*It's a bright sunny day down here and as I eyed my sunglasses collection, I realized sunglasses cannot be worn if you don't have ears (or a nose for that matter) with which to support them. Mind-blowing, I know.

that day

It's April 15th, and everyone knows what that means...


Grab your party hats and celebrate Dan and Ashley's Birthdays!

Bean wishes he could celebrate with both of you over a Pomodoro Pizza and a game of Scene It,
but maybe it's a good thing you two are on opposite ends of the continent (San Diego and NYC),
America can't handle so much goodness too close together!

(and for those of you not fortunate enough to know these two fabulous peeps, turn your taxes in already!)

bon voyage!


Bean and I didn't have much time in Texas before we had to start packing for Paris (France, that is). We'll be spring breaking in the land of snobbery and wine for the next week and will be too busy shopping to update.

So we'll just have catch you all next week! If you miss Bean too much, check out the old ones and see how much he's grown. And we'll be looking for some souvenirs for you, too.

A BIENTOT, MES AMIS!

until we meet again...greenwich village

goodbye alma mater nyu, spice's lunch special, crazy crooked streets and crazier people, magnolia bakery cupcakes (but not the line), strand bookstore, bowlmor lanes,
game nights at tortilla flats, union square, and the old and new washington square park.
Bean, we won't have to dress up as NYU college kids anymore to get Chick-fil-A! We can get it anytime we want in Texas with or without wearing purple and a backpack!

(for those who don't know, there is only one Chick-fil-A in Manhattan and it is conveniently located in one of my alma mater's dining halls)

until we meet again...brooklyn

goodbye brooklyn bridge, steiner studios, atlantic ave, hipsters, bedford ave,
hippie friends and their intentional community living spaces in the industrial wasteland of bushwick,
promenade, views of manhattan, and of course, goodbye L train freakshow.

March 5, 2009

until we meet again...midtown

goodbye rockefeller center with a giant tree, hilton hotel where we stayed when we first visited the city, shopping on 5th ave and christmas windows at bergdorf's,bryant park during fashion week, bryant park free ice skating pond in the winter,

and bryant park movies in the summer,
always romantic grand central station, always sketchy port authority, the old film office way over on 10th ave, broadway shows,
part of the street that acted as a walkway for real new yorkers because the tourists take up the whole sidewalk, and the giddiness that always came from times square's madness reminding me that this is new york city and this is where i live.
hand sanitizer, anyone? or maybe some of you softies need a tissue?

March 2, 2009

until we meet again...tribeca

goodbye sophomore year dorm, goodbye tribeca film festival street parties with hula hoops,


goodbye crazy and crowded canal street, goodbye delicious Bubby's brunches,

goodbye least crowded and most spacious whole foods in manhattan, goodbye freaky pearl paint elevator,
and goodbye iconic ghostbusters firehouse.
Bean, when you are done being slimer, don't forget to give Christine her scarf back. You know how good she looks in it.

moving out


Well, it's official. Bean and I are heading to Texas. The movers are booked and the plane ticket bought; all that's left to do is say goodbye to our New York sweet spots!

the day belonging to the presidents


Even though Bean wasn't alive, he misses the days when presidents had big bushy beards. So he decided to make one for Mr. Obama. It's got cotton balls on it and hidden inside are tiny marshmallows for secret eating!
