Resourceful

I could make a lot of jokes about this, but I think one simple question will do: Just where exactly do the eyebrows come from?
Very suspicious...

7.28 Saturday around the city

Meet Nelson.


Nelson + Elvis = Bliss

or maybe it's Intoxication + Elvis = Nelson

(sorry for the crooked video. I'm learning.)





This guy is one of my favorites. He sits in front of Trader Joe's and writes poetry for people on the street. If you can sell jewelry, clothes, chestnuts, fake dvds, insence, fruit, perfume and baked goods...why not poems, too? I haven't had a chance to stop, but I think he and I could be good friends.





No lie. This is what my friend Katherine and I did on Saturday morning.

Not the Infrared Sauna nor the Yoga & Pilates... the Whole. Body. Vibration. It was pretty much amazing. Check it out: http://www.rty30.com/ Don't laugh, it's legit.



Because why wouldn't you expect to see a flag troop in Chelsae?

7.26 Grand Central Station

People here really like to protest. They also really like Bush.



Somehow I find myself getting caught in the middle of a protest at least once a week. Maybe I should walk around with my own sign.




Either that, or just continue to get run over.




7.25 on 51st

I was almost to the subway when I saw this jewel. Being in research myself, I could identify.



Something about their propostition must've worked because I gave them a dollar. Maybe it was the little "anything will help" add on, or my overwhelming social burden to support the sciences.






7.24 At the doctor

Some days are better than others...





And the best part? This 1977 electroshock machine that's electrocuting my foot. It felt like tiny little men with tiny little hands giving you tiny little massages all over.

7.22 in Washington Square

Local troubadours... Does a Sunday afternoon get much better?



I'm not really sure where to begin... the pipe? the dumpster? the hair? the mystery bee hive in his lap?
The lady behind him receiving medical treatment??



Say grandma, where'd you get those shades?




Please take note of Tan Man Muscle Shirt's oh-so-believable hair... and the drummer... oh, the drummer.





Dancing grandma gives me the look. If you could have only seen her moves...




Summer.


Wish I had my suit.






Alert! Suspicious object!!


Dear creepy babydoll with spider legs, what are you?
