Kat and I packed SO much into a few days she was here, it was actually quite ridiculous. One highlight was eating at the automat, BAMN! Basically you get your dinner from vending machines. Yes, my idea of heaven! We felt very Felicity-esque hanging around the NYU area in the village at this little pink…

Eeeek. Woke up to my Collingwood/Twitter aftermath. This is how it looked –

Collingwood gave you a great present last night! 🙂 Even though I can’t be there, here is the usual lot of gifts that you get every year! Love, Nellie xox

I love the movie Sunday in New York. Anyway, today was Monday – but it is the Labor Day long weekend so Monday, felt like Sunday so… well any excuse to post this gorgeous clip of Bobby Darin singing ‘Sunday in New York’. I love love LOVE this song! New York on Sunday, Big City…

Wow! I just clicked onto Gothamist for my usual nightly read… when I was floored to see one of my photos used on the lead page!
