update from nyc (well, connecticut, really)

oh xanga, it has been too long!

i’m sitting here in katrina july’s family abode in connecticut. stella electra is packed to the max and we depart at 6:00 AM tomorrow for austin! (well, with a few stops in between).

i had a marvelous, cosmo-fabulous time with ryan in NYC. of course i’ve been keeping a polaroid journal so i will tell all upon my return (until yr eyes glaze over). the highlights have included: the dia: beacon art collection (viva marfa!), the music of gloria deluxe, encounters with a former ktru dj in brooklyn and two models in the subway (one of whom teaches architecture at rice!!), and a zabar’s picnic in central park (complete with the adorable combination of a sprinkler and shrieking children). and of course a plethora of homestar runner references sprinkled throughout (i even met a friend of ryan’s who is the author of strongbad email 42!).

honestly, i couldn’t have asked for a better adventure… and i’m only halfway through. i’m sure that when katrina and posh hit the road, it can only get more fabulous!

…to be continued… (sorry there’s no alias-style cliffhanger but just pretend you’re in suspense, k?)
