New Year, New Resolutions

2012-01-10T10:40:00.006-05:00

Gutentaug my dahling Interwebz! Happy (belated by about a week) New Year!

I've been neglecting you again, and for that, I do apologize. My life has been work, sleep, (maybe) eat, rinse, wash, repeat for the past 4-ish months or so. I did laundry last night for the first time in..oh...an embarrassing amount of time that I won't tell you because, well, it's disgusting. And when washing my dirty laundry, I began thinking about all I've accomplished in the past year and all that I hope to accomplish this upcoming year to make it even better than the last. So..I thought I'd share!

Last year, I won a few design awards, graduated from the toughest four years I've experienced, went to Vegas and survived, moved out of my beloved Brooklyn to a new apartment on the Upper East Side, started a twitter (self promo, so sue me), got a new job, made some ridiculously awesome new people, grew out my hair, chopped it all off, started dating again, met a few losers, met a few winners, and did it all with the best group of friends I've ever had by my side ridiculing me for my antics along the way--just the way I like it.

This year I hope to do more of the same with a bit more punch and pizazz added in for good measure. I hope to get a "legit" job--you know, the kind that pays me for designing stuff that I want to be designing (a girl can dream!). I hope to see more of those epic friends who make me laugh so hard. I hope to continue dating the wrong sort of guys so I can meet the right one for me. I hope to laugh at all of my mistakes, there's bound to be a plethora of new ones this year. I hope to work hard and continue to expand my business ventures. I hope to see my family more. I hope to start thinking of myself as my own (gasp) adult person-thingie and to start taking care of business, just like Aretha.

And above all, I hope to finally install that damn hanging lamp in my living room. That's just been pissing me off.

Do you have any hopes for the New Year, Interweb? Lose a few of those Spam-site pounds? Not that you need it, I think you're beautiful just as you are. Minus the pop-ups. Those have to go.

Magnetic. Nail polish.

No, I won't be sticking to metal things anytime soon (unless I pull a Christmas Story)but it's just as epic, if not more so than being able to stick magnetic poetry to my fingers...although that would be pretty sweet too. There are little magnetic particles in the polish that move around if you put a magnet over your nails before they dry! It creates this cool hologram-ish, stripey effect that I'm totally loving right now.

Yeah. I totally bought some. I also bought the purple...they were out of the teal, otherwise I would have bought the whole set. It's that awesome.

It's epicly amazeballs to say the least; I've been getting compliments on it all day!

I purchased mine at Sephora, but you might be able to find it somewhere else. I want them to come out with a red so badly!

Punch Out

2011-11-11T09:35:00.004-05:00

Holy bawlz Batman!

Think of the damage that this ring would do! I have a pretty massive two finger ring that I like to call my "Brooklyn Ring" that I used to wear when I had to walk home from studio late at night. You know, just in case someone tried to accost, I could punch them in the face with my heavy duty BK ring and they would run away (...in reality, I'm sure I'd miss their face and they would steal my BK ring, computer, phone, bag and any loose change I had on me.)

I love.

SPARKLES.

2011-11-11T09:27:00.005-05:00

Praise to the God of SPARKLE! My new motto is that hula hooping and sparkles make everything better--it's true, don't deny it! So I just about had a happiness hernia when I came across this amazing polish!

I die. This little bottle would make my day. Nay, my whole holiday season!

ps You can buy it here if any of you were thinking of sending this epicness my way...

Insomnia: Or the Ravings of a Sleep Deprived Loon

2011-11-02T16:30:00.006-04:00

So, I've been working a lot recently. Like, all-the-time a lot. I go from one job to another, getting home around 10:00pm (if I'm lucky) or 12:00am (if I'm not so lucky). So, needless to say, I haven't been getting as much sleep as I'm used to.

I know, I know, I know. You're thinking "Abby. You just graduated. You've had plenty of sleepless nights, why are you complaining about these ones? Shouldn't you be used to it by now, yah betch?" You'd think so. But, truthfully, I got used to my summer schedule--waking up at 7/8, getting home by 6 and then hanging out. I (idiotically) thought that the sleepless nights were behind me. Oh. So. Dumb.

However, being so exhausted actually has been letting me sleep like a rock--which is nice--until this past week. When I've been waking up at 4:00am every morning. I don't know why. It's not light out, there's not a noise that wakes me up, or a ghost prodding me in my sleep. It's just my silly internal clock being all "Oh Hai! Good Morning! You wanted to sleep an extra 3-4 hours before work? WHY!? There's so much to do, including: staring at the ceiling, organizing the files on your computer, making a super awesome new playlist, generally hating the fact that you are awake, and don't forget the ever present subconscious nag--apply for jobs! Apply for jobs!"

Hopefully future employers when getting my cover letters written at 4:30 am take that as a sign of an ability to work hard and not stop until a job is complete, not the rando psycho ramblings of a 20-something who didn't (and isn't going to) get enough sleep for the past few weeks (and years).

I need a nap.
via

Yeah. My internal clock thinks that this is funny. It isn't.

Apologies

2011-10-25T16:12:00.005-04:00

My apologies, kittens and dahling Interwebz, for not having been up to date on my posting. Apparently moving from one apartment to another means that the internet gods smite you by not allowing your phone line to work, therefore rendering you interweb-less. Still. For over two months. I feel like I've been returned to the early '90s when there was no internet and playing Barbies was the choice leisure activity.

Hooray for finding new ways to enjoy my time other than withering away in the glowing blue light of a computer! I've been working, then going to my second job, then applying for more jobs (which would be easier if I had the internet, cough cough), sleeping, (sometimes) eating, and then there's that thing, you know, called laundry that legit takes up half of my one day off. I guess this is what "real life" is like. Working and sleeping with snippets of fun times like showering and cleaning my room in between. No fun new hobbies to share. No crazy stories, unless you count that time that I slipped on a jalapeno pepper in Union Square on my way home from work and almost died.

No? Me neither.

I want to just walk around and procrastinate. Oh well, I'm just going to leave my windows open while I Rhino it up.

Mythbusters is my new favorite show.

Ever since I found it on Netflix, I've been unable to stop watching. I'm addicted. My day has been full of explosions, guns, duct tape, lasers, physics and design

...and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. It's too good.

I like to learn things slow
I like learning a lot
I like to get it all again and in the end
You know you get what you got
I like to mean what I say
But it don't always come through
Because if I say it all again, again, again
It doesn't make it all true

And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still, still
I saw you lingering still

It's all just news to me
Don't really care if it hurts
Because if I know it I won't know it
Then I know that it will only get worse
He was different at first
But then he won't understand
Because he's never going to know me
If he doesn't want to just shake my hand

And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still, still
I saw you lingering still

So What? Who Cahez?

2010-10-14T12:40:00.005-04:00

er...Actually, I do.

(and so do Whoopie Golberg and Joy Behar)

When Bill O'Reilly came was a guest on The View recently, the conversation drifted to the recent "Mosque-at-Ground-Zero" debate and how President Obama handled himself when asked about it. O'Reilly, made some pretty ignorant comments about who attacked on 9/11 and how Americans felt about the issue--resulting in Whoopie and Joy angrily walking out of their own show.

When watching this, I got really upset--how is this even an issue? Obviously they have a right to practice their religion wherever and however they choose. Do people still have such anger and prejudice towards a whole group of people? This is America--land of the FREE.

I understand that the families of 9/11 are still grieving and that it might be hard to see the larger picture because their lives we changed drastically because of the attacks. But, the people who attacked on 9/11 weren't an entire culture, but a small, extremist, microcosm of that culture. Why should we judge an entire group of people for the actions of a relative few?

I definately wouldn't want to be judged by another country based on what Bill O'Reilly is saying--I would be totally offended.

Even more, a lot of the people who died in the attacks were Muslim--shouldn't their memory be respected as equally as those who were, say, Catholic or Jewish? Why is it so easy for "Bill O'Reilly's 70% of Americans" to respect some people who were killed, but apparently not others? O'Reilly says that he and the majority of Americans share the same view, defending the families and those who were attacked--do they see their own hypocrisy in choosing to defend and judge at the same time?

Not only does the Mosque have a right to be built there, Constitutionally, but in my opinion, a need to be built there--almost as a way of "cleansing", creating peace, and healing. I think, as Americans, we are hindering our healing process if we don't let the Mosque be built--creating more prejudice and hatred does not help anyone.

If I were on the show when Bill O'Reilly made those comments, I would have walked off too--and hopefully I would be wearing those fierce light up shoes Whoopie has on! Girl--that made your walk all the more epic!

Check out what happened after they left here

Thank goodness, Barbra said something!

A Full Buffet

2010-09-21T20:35:00.009-04:00

"In the military is it acceptable, is it acceptable to be a cafeteria American, what I mean to say is, should soldiers and the government be able to pick and choice what we are fighting for in the Constitution? Or who we are fighting for. I wasn’t aware of this ambiguity in our Constitution. I thought the Constitution was the ultimate, I thought equality was non negotiable."

"Because I thought this was an ‘all you can eat’ buffet. This equality stuff, I thought equality meant everyone."

I am so proud of Lady Gaga. She's used her fame and popularity to stand up for her beliefs and show others that it's okay to do the same. Her speech, not only brought tears to my eyes, but pride in my fellow citizens who choose to have a voice, and not just to sit idly by; watching while important decisions are made for them.

Thank you, Lady Gaga for lending a voice to those who are forced not to have one by an outdated and unequal rule.

Equality is prime rib--that we all deserve a fair chance to eat.

Last First.

2010-08-31T11:41:00.006-04:00

Yesterday was my last first day of school. I'm not sure how I feel about it.

I felt like this summer, since I was working everyday, I didn't really get a break from the routine, you know, Interwebz? So I feel like I left studio only, like, 2 weeks ago and now I'm back.

My last first day of school was pretty uneventful. I woke up, showered, got dressed, ate a granola bar, went on the bookface, checked where my class was and left my apartment. No new school clothes, no new school notebooks. Just me, my old Moleskin, and a ratty pair of knock off Target brand Keds. I didn't even get the pre-first day of school butterflies in my stomache!

I did however get assigned homework. Fabz.

So, dahling Interwebz, I'm sure you've heard of this new crazy fad that's sweeping the nation called Four Square--right?

Well, recently when I was in Florida, my friend was "checking in" everywhere. While I had my doubts--stalkers would legit go crazypants for this--he assured me that only his friends on Four Square could see where he was checking in. Whatevah, I still was on the look out for any potential stalkers following us from Starbucks to Starbucks...

I recently came across this article from the NY Times about Four Square--chchcheck it out! It seems to be everywhere lately, making me wonder if I'm missing out on something...

The only reason I would start Four Squarin' it up, despite the stalker lovefest it's got going on, is because of its semi-competitive nature. If you visit a place more than anyone, you become THE MAYOR. That sounds pretty legit. My same friend, who walks to work, became the Mayor of the Church of Scientology in Boston just by walking past it almost everyday. {Take that Tom Cruise!} Also, if you go certain places you can unlock badges--my Four Squaring friend, who recently went for a sail, unlocked the "I'm on a Boat" badge. TPain and Andy Samburg mackin' on some mermaids and wearin' flippy floppies? In a badge form? Yes please!

But yeah, I don't have an iPhone, so I probski couldn't do any Squarin' anyway. Even if I didn't think that it was kindof, well, really creepy.

Screwed.

All of this packing up of the cave to move has got me thinking about donating a lot...like A LOT of my existing stuff to Salvation Army. I mean, who really needs 4 fans, two ethernet cords, 3-4 iPod chargers, and over 4 bins worth of clothing??

Apparently, me. Or so I thought before I actually had to pack up all my stuff. HA.

So, today, dear Interwebz, I am pretending that I've cleared out all of the stuff I don't need (installation CD's for printers that have long since bitten the dust, for example) and am fake shopping for mah new apartment at one of my most favoritest stores: Anthropologie.

Replace lots of old stuff with lots of new stuff--that's how it works right?

I am so screwed.

Scratch and...FUNKIFY.

2010-08-17T17:27:00.004-04:00

It's like the lottery ticket of the map world! So cool--and fun! When I was little I always liked the scratch and sniff stickers, maybe this map could smell like the country after you scratch off the top layer, as well as be a fun color? Cause that would be EPIC.

I want for the new apartment, Interwebz, plz?

In Need of a Change

2010-08-16T16:50:00.008-04:00

So, dearest Interwebz, I think that I'm in need of a change. A somewhat drastic one.

I think that I want to cut all of my hair off. I have chopped my hair off-and donated it-before, but somehow it always takes some building of confidence to actually go to the salon to have it cut off. I'm a bit nervous to do it because my hair is so long now (and to tell you the truth, I've been putting off getting a hair cut for, like, the past year) but I keep doing the same thing with it everyday--SUPER BORING--and I feel like the longer it gets, the harder it is to control.

What do you think? Too crazypants?

Here are some photos of people with short hair--inspiration, perhaps?

{Hopefully it doesn't suck.}

Ch-Ch-Check it out!

2010-08-08T17:04:00.003-04:00

Mah friend, Lauren, has been a'workin on her blog! I didn't even know she had one until today...like 30 seconds ago.

Legit, Interwebz.

An example of some of the epic things you can find on her blog! Hellz yeah!

So, I've recently heard about this great thing that billionaires are doing called "The Giving Pledge" where people like Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and George Lucas are giving away half of their wealth to charity.

Interwebz, I think that this is so fabulous! Giving half of their wealth to help those less fortunate is such an amazing thing for these people to be doing--I'd like to think that if I were in their shoes, I would try to do the same!

Hooray for giving!

This weekend I will use my PC and have a Star Wars marathon in their honor.

Hokay.

So, dahling Interwebz, last night I went to see Inception with a few friends--one had seen it twice before, and the rest of us were newbies to the Inception world. After the movie let out, most of the audience was kindof in a state of "Whhahhht?"/ "OMIGAWD. DID YOU SEE THAT?!"/"I don't get it" shock.

While walking to the car, we started to discuss the movie, as all movie goers do, which led to clashing opinions being thrown out--one of my friends, a writer didn't think that the script was any good, another one of my friends picked up on little nuances and was surprised and satisfied by her findings, and I, well, I was pretty much in a state of shock over the hotness of Leo & JGL. (Fo'realzies Interwebz, Leo, like a fine wine, gets better and more tasty with age.) After we drove home and parted ways, satisfied with our evening spent in the AC eating M&M's, we went to bed--I for one had a bit of trouble getting to sleep (I didn't want a war to be waged in my head while I had my 6 hours, thank you very much...)

Today, however there was a bit of drama between those who enjoyed and those who didn't...I've started to wonder if maybe the movie itself is a form of an "inception"--having people choose sides "pro-Inception" or "anti-Inception" and forcing them to argue it out thus giving the movie itself more press and precedence in our lives.

As you know, Interwebs, I don't like confrontation. I also believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I respect the fact that a few of my friends didn't think that Inception was as good as hyped--I agree that people made it out to be way more confusing than it actually was. I enjoyed the movie for it's cinematic qualities--the effects were beautiful, they enhanced the dreamworld, the casting was great--hello Joseph Gordon Levitt!--and I liked the fight scene in the anti-gravity. Pretty epicsawce, if I do say so myself.

As for the script, most action movies I've seen tend to have not-so-hot scripts. I go into the theater knowing that I'm going to see some hot men punch each other in the face and not hear epic award winning dialogue while they do it--and I'm okay with that. If in the future there is a movie that delivers both, sign me up!

So, Inception, I enjoyed you, but can't we just leave the drama at the theater where it belongs?

{Unless JGL is willing to make a house call. Then, I'm all for it.}

Oh so awkward. Oh so hilarious.

I love awkward family photos.

SO GOOD. SO HILAR.
