septembers right around the corner...where did august go? oh right, it came and went with a plethora of video posts from io9 and gizmodo. damn i still <3 that gi joe vid. amongst the things ive done this month (conveniently culled from my iphone calendar)...bday drinks (not mine) in brooklyn at harefield road, dinner with building-mates at yo in yo out, a mini reunion with joan and joyce at flea market (i hadn't seen joyce in months, and joan in...erm, 5 years?), burger brunch with hosan at blue ribbon bakery, followed by a mid-week sake tasting too at satsko, and whew...let me catch my breath.
* pause *
k...along with excellent pork chop house with troche and pho (the beef noodle soup was particularly excellent that day), and gina's brief return to nyc this week...celebrated with hasaki and drinkies at scratchers. oh, and tomorrow's my birthday. rock on.
FRONT YARD
as for the picture above...i spent this weekend putting up the tree graphic i had custom made from dezign with a z. it's erm, actually about a foot below where it should be (you should see a bit of the tree trunk above the couch). but yea, that didn't quite work out as planned. that was about as high as i could conceivably get the graphic, short of getting a mid-life growth spurt of a few inches.
compared to the original rendering also, i over-stretched the vector file i sent them. not to mention the couch i decided to use in the rendering was actually lower than my actual couch...doh! but aside from what appears to be griping (they're not actually...just observations in hindsight), the tree actually looks pretty damn good on my wall. much <3 to dezign with a z. now to work on my bedroom (and maybe even get that rug)...
