Yesterday, April 26th, was my half birthday. I don’t actually celebrate it, but I like to make myself aware that I’m half a year older, and that it’s only six more months until my birthday (time to start planning)! It was a pretty dreary day and there was a lot of work that I should [...]

Like many people out there, I’m not that big of a fan of Valentine’s day.

The 26th of October was my birthday, and I wanted to get out of the house and do something fun since I had the day off. A few friends had been to Dead Horse Bay the weekend before and I kept that in mind to be my next adventure. I was getting ready to go [...]

This time last year I took a trip to Boston, so I unfortunately missed the first annual Nuit Blanche in NYC (or more specifically, Greenpoint, Brooklyn). This year, however, I was in town and able to catch the event! I was pretty excited since all of the photos I’d seen from other cities’ Nuit Blanche [...]
