Oscar Time...

It's Oscar time!!! 

Even though I've only seen a handful of this years nominees- I am rooting for The Kings Speech. Yeah I shouldn't truly judge till I see all the contenders but it was such a deeply moving film that in my opinion trumped True Grit and The Social Network on an emotional level. And both Colin Firth (Mr Darcy :)) and Geoffrey Rush deserve awards. The movie works so well because the two of them and it is hard to imagine the film working without that relationship. 

Don't get me wrong, I mean who am I to judge? Seriously, I am watching the Oscars to see James Franco and root for Helena Bonham Carter- the most kick ass actress. This is just my two cents. And one last thing- I really hope that Bansky shows up in a monkey mask!!

Enjoy the Academy Awards tonight!

Urban Achievers Please Stand Up

Being a Little Lebowski myself, I just had to make a pilgrimage to the Little Lebowski shop in Greenwich Village. All dudes and dudetts must abide and check this kitschy place out. When one walks in, they are greeted by a dude lookalike- robe and all. Filled with t-shirts, bowling pins, a toilet and a rug that really ties the room together- this store is a must for all fans of the movie. Now if you excuse me, I'm off to drink a white russian and go bowling. Peace.  

This last picture is from an entrance to a restaurant nearby. 

Ryan the Librarian thought it was pretty.

Loving this vintage pocketbook. I am addicted to red bags and might need help. Yellow, blue where are you?

Science Class...

Isn't this plant cool? 

It reminds me of science class back in the day. 

Static electricity anyone?

R.I.P. White Stripes

Bitter sweet news here. 

The White Stripes, one of my favorite bands, 

has decided to call it quits.

 I will be in mourning for a bit. 

Here is what they said on their official website. 

Angels...

If you can, see Angels in America- currently playing at 

The Signature Theatre. 

It has a wonderful cast, it is thought provoking 

and the overall production is amazing. 

Though the lovely Zachary Quinto has left the show, check out the other excellent performers while you can. Billy Porter as Belize puts on a memorable performance that should not be missed. Ok enough of this review- get yourselves down to the theatre!! NOW!
