About Me

I'm an urban planner and I do community outreach on behalf of New York's most exciting public space project. I recently moved to Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, and I love it. I have a boyfriend named Patrick who works way too much. We're into NYC history, architecture, transportation...I like to decorate light switch plates and glass dinner plates with pictures I cut out of magazines or with old calendars.

I cannot get enough of this kid. He's like dirty dirty candy for my eyes. They profiled him in the Times Magazine... that picture of him "relaxing" in Miami...it was all over. Mmmmm, that wingspan....

Super Tuesday

I voted today and a weird poll worker insisted on coming into the booth with me to make sure the levers were working properly. That's gotta be illegal. Then he asked me if I was a cosmotologist.
