BIIIIIIG POST.

I have recently been underground due to RISD's home tests... I shipped 3 drawings, 2 writing samples and 1 CD off on Saturday and HAD NEVER FELT MORE LIBERATED. Until I went out to find shark fin dumplings with Ralphy and saw more love-dovey, obnoxious couples of every race and age, all canoodling like STDs don't exist. Jesus. H. Christ. Nothing like that to smack you in the face and say, "NA NA NA, you're too unbearable in person for anyone to like!"

...Cough.

Anyway, Ralph and I circled Chinatown four dozen times in search of a restaurant that served shark fin dumplings. There was only one and apparently they weren't serving it at the time. Ingenious, no? We paid for a combo plate and only when we tried to order a second plate (only shark fins this time) did we find out that nothing was available except for pork and vegetable. Ripoff, I say, ripoff - and they were downright tiny. I left NYC feeling rather deprived. Next weekend, you shall see them. YOU SHALL.

This guy, by the way, gave the most heartwarming hug ever. He was out by the Haagen Daazs on Mott Street jumping to keep himself warm and had the biggest smile. What follows next is just a combination of what I've been looking at on the internet (procrastinating on catching up on 10 chapters of AP Euro... yes, 10, filling out financial aid forms and more) and what I wore today.

I couldn't figure out which one to wear.

So I decided on a black dress that I had bought for a performance in which I was Hecate, the goddess of magic, from Macbeth.

Also, would anyone like to see how seriously beast my mother is at bargain shopping?
