My Collection of Random iPhone Pictures
I got an iphone a few months ago (how did I live without this thing?!?) and from time to time will randomly take photos with it and forget about them.
Today I was sitting on the subway and looked through the photos for the first time in a looong while. I thought I’d share them on my post today and “release” them from iPhone captivity.
Photo of the tree across the street after one of the many snow storms this past winter. I love how the tree is all covered in snow and stands out against the red brick of the walkups.
At a get together with some friends, we opened this bottle of wine which everyone really enjoyed. Our host admitted it was a $2.99 bottle from Walmart!
A few weeks ago I walked out of our apt and noticed these signs. Man vs Food: Harlem filming on our street!! I tried to hang out for a bit to see if I could meet Adam Richman but the PAs shooed me away.
Several months ago I found a recipe for a semi-homemade birthday cake in a friend’s cookbook and took a picture of it for later use (left pic). A few weeks ago I decided to recreate the cake for two friends celebrating their birthdays together (right pic).
Walking to meet one of our editors for lunch, I met this orange kitty. She stood just like that the whole time I walked down the street (and probably for a long time after). The street was wet from an earlier rain shower and there were tons of people out headed to lunch, but none of that bothered this cute cat.
My brother Jesse moved to NYC last May and works as a traveling sushi chef for a corporation that runs kitchens for several companies in NYC. Growing up we were the best of friends but ever since college we grew apart and moved to separate areas of the US. It always saddened me that our relationship deteriorated as we became adults, but with his move to NYC we’ve gotten the chance to start over.
One busy day at work, Jesse texted me and asked if I wanted some food. It was 3p.m. and I hadn’t eaten yet. I said yes and 20 minutes later he came to our office door with this box of goodness! I was so touched! (To be honest with you I almost started tearing up but I didn’t want to freak out everyone at the office so I held it together
) I snapped a photo of the box to remember Jesse’s thoughtfulness. Since that day we’ve gotten to hang out several times and each time I feel like our relationship is improving, and it makes me so happy.
Last week after a run in Central Park, my friends and I were starving and cold. We popped into Ivy’s for a bowl of hot roast pork noodle soup. This was my fortune. keke What do you think this means?

Cool, I just did something like this except I released pictures of my brother I had on my iPhone. Seriously, how did we live without our smartphones before??
That is a very cute cat btw. It’s almost like a little statue there.
@Roadlesstaken - Your brother is so cute! How many years are you guys apart?
I’m addicted to my iPhone. I think it’s a serious problem.
@eugenia - 9 years! Which is why a lot of times I switch back and forth from being a brother to being almost like a father-like figure to him.
@Roadlesstaken - Oooh my youngest brother is 9 years younger than me too! I definitely understand what you mean about being a parental figure to him, same goes for me.
have you noticed how the wine from trader joes is really good even if it costs peanuts?
@petitetokio - YES! 3 Buck Chuck is the best!
Although it may be 4 Buck Chuck now. 
That photo of the no parking permit is kind of neat, because that tear in it is juuuust enough to fit the tire of that bike in. How neat!
@Viewtiful_Justin - Hey Justin! You’re right I just noticed that after you mentioned it! Haha!
@eugenia - How strange, right? Oh, and our Wal Mart doesn’t sell liquor. Our town is a college town and they’re WAY weird about liquor licenses here. I wonder where I can find that delicious, cheap-as-hel wine. Hmmm…
I just got an iphone this summer and I wonder everyday how I ever lived w/o this thing lol. I would die w/o it now haha
