Snapshots from a few months ago.

Costumes.  Jack the sailor is not actually wearing a string on his nose, but that would be awesome if he was.

I just developed a roll of film that's been sitting in my lil' Canon auto camera.  I use it as my "going out" camera since it has a flash...but seeing as I rarely "go out" anymore, this roll has been sitting in there for awhile.  These are some photos from Halloween (the night we dressed up and then actual Halloween).

Bird party

Last night my coworkers and I attended the Prospect Park Junior Committee's Summer Soiree.  Electric boat rides, Thai rum, and dancing!  Oh, and Bill Cunningham took my picture.  Of course, in typical Natasha fashion, I had just stuffed my face with some pesto pasta salad and my cheeks were completely full of food while he snapped my photo.  Oh god.  I mean, I have been daydreaming about this moment for so long and it finally comes and I have a face full of pasta!  I can't complain though...I am so incredibly honored that he even took my photo!  He was the sweetest man--just like in his movie.  I doubt it'll get published, but that's ok!

Through his eyes.

Skye was able to spend a whole eleven days here in New York with me!  Here are some of the photos he took during his stay.

 

The day Skye had to leave...breakfast at Juliette.  :(

Everyday was full of all the fun things I've been wanting to do/eat in New York.  Trips to the Met, the aquariaum/Coney Island, Highline Park, Chelsea Market, many walks around SoHo/NoHo, Brooklyn Flea.  Eating Roberta's pizzas in bed (this only happened twice....), The Smile (OH MY GOD, the fig, cheese, arugula, truffle oil sandwich...), Ippudo (wasabi shoyu ramen!), Cafe Gitane, a Japanese restaurant in the East Villiage where Skye was the only non-Japanese dude (and he speaks Japanese way better than me!), Momo Sushi Shack and more.  Seeing Midnight in Paris (SO GOOD) and Bill Cunningham New York (you already know how I feel about that).  AND I cut off a bunch of my hair.  100 degree days in NYC will make you do that.  I feel so much better now that I'm not covered in hair.

But the most fun thing of all was spending time with my best friend.  One more month 'till we get to do that again!
