"Plants need water, man!"

Yay!! More growth with my little garlic plant! How i love to watch it grow ^_____^ Here is day 5: and day 7: i'm so excited to see how it grows - i still find it amazing, even though i know how it works. guess it helps my mind think of other things than the stress of work or bills, etc. went to an event tonight called a business card exchange. several companies get together and mingle/network with each other at a really awesome venue. so tonight, we all met at Mars 2112 . i met an awesome doll designer and her art director and a lovely woman that puts together a nyc up & out newsletter for nyc's lgbt community. we got to talking and struck a common bond. we both worked our asses off to go to school and didn't feel we should suffer after we already worked so hard. with that said, i'm going to try to do everything i can to try to keep my apartment (it was an issue i've been fighting myself over) while still keeping money aside to live life. in the past...

My Garlic Plant!

Image
I have a need for green things in my apartment. So, i find seeds around the kitchen and put them in dirt! Here are two pics of days 2 and 4 of my garlic plant experiment. i took a little clove of garlic and well.. look! 2 Days: 4 Days: that's made me a little happier about my apartment. on other news... i may have to move. student loans started a few months ago and it's killing my budget. I've gotten rid of just about everything else, but it's not enough. so i may end up moving to queens because i value my privacy - aka living in my own apartment. sharing is a good way to keep the costs down, but there are certain things i like to do on my own and a way i like to feel comfortable. i still don't like sharing bathrooms... maybe it's a complex :P plus if i want to bake at 2:30am i'd like the choice. perhaps i'll go to queens. the hardest part is trying to figure out what to do in the meantime. to get back my security, i'll have to stay until m...

New York is changing

And i guess it's been ever changing. I'm walking down 3rd avenue and i see several places out of business. There's where brella bar used to be (where i spent an insane amount of money on 3, no 4 umbrellas). Next, a Gymboree, a pretty big kiddy clothing store. Then i come across a beautifully decorated wall. Nothing on the floor, no furniture, no light fixtures, just carpet and pretty wall paper. As i round the corner, i see the store sign "Ethan Allen". Even they closed shop here. More to come i'm sure. Made me sad, though. I felt like i wanted to hug the next person i saw to console them. Strange, huh? Time to start walking again. My break to blog is done ^_^ Off to read more count of monte christo! ~marj :)

Take it back... Back to 1997

Went to do my laundry last night. I have this Wonder Wash container that uses pressure to clean clothes. You fill it with hot water and a little detergent and spin it around. Normally i hang my clothes to dry, but this time, they were soaking wet. So i went to the mat ^_^ Once my pants were in the dryer, i turned around to see a gymnast on TV. I immediately switched to meet mode: Were her fingers poised properly? Point your toes, point them hard!! Execution, grace and STICK THAT LEAP SERIES! Woah, she almost fell off the beam, that would have been .5 of a point off her score. Perfect landing! Her hair was neatly slicked back with butterfly clips and i smiled. That used to be my life, when i was a gymnast. When i was little, i remember seeing a gymnast on TV. I loved the way she looked, flying through the air, tumbling across the mat and swinging on the uneven bars. I can't remember her name either. It might have been mary lou renner <sp?> but i was mesmorized. Wouldn...

Gonna read the book . ralph fiennes plays a psychotic that goes through the memories is of his childhood. i love that stars are getting back into really acting . this movie was an independent filem and had several famous names. the art is coming out again - hopefully it woasn't driven by money. walked the central park this afternoon. the day slipps away when you wake up so late in the day, but i got to be d late. same thing will happen tonight i'm sure. but at lseast this tim e i took a nap beigning to feel restless again. i'm sure it's a little bit due to the weather, no that's not right. it's probably because i'm thinking too much about being alone. although i'm man introvert, enjoying life on you rown is on...
