Last week I was in Punta Cana, DR for my friend's wedding. The weather and company was pretty great.
Downtown From Behind is a photo series of the backside of beautiful New Yorkers riding a bicycle. In other words, a great excuse to take photos of the backside of beautiful New Yorkers.

Caroline Bankoff's exposition on Google's GChat.
15. While writing this piece, I conducted some research via GChat. I asked a contact, “What are your thoughts about GChat?” He replied, “GChat sometimes lubricates sincerity.” I asked why he thought that was. He replied, “Because it’s easier to type certain things into a box.16. I think it follows that GChat sometimes lubricates insincerity, because it is easier to type certain things into a box.
45. If I get a kitten, I might name it GCat.
Discuss.

The first decade of the 21st century ended the way it began when I first moved to New York City 8 or so years ago - with an epic snow storm.
Traffic was moving so slowly I was able to stand in the middle of the street in Times Square and take this photo of the snow as it started to finally accumulate on the ground. I was walking home from KTown after I fulfilled my KTown jjigae craving.
New York City woke up to a lot of snow the next morning.
Couple nights later I met up with Ro and Jeff (yes, he's still searching for new pants). After eating delicious noodle soup, we walked to KTown for a "surprise" birthday party.
A surprise birthday party at karaoke, natch. Disclaimer: I swear this was not organized or suggested by me.
Pro Tip: Passionate hand gestures makes any song better.
This girl was getting at it!
And if the singing is good enough, people will dance to it. Even go back to back wit it.
AND front to front wit it.
And then git paid afterwards!
This is what alcohol can do to people later in the evening.
Few days later it was New Year's Eve! I met up with friends on the Upper East Side for some food and drinks. After the clock stuck midnight, I went back to my apartment where one of my friends was having a party. By the time I remembered I had my camera it was pretty late, and the girls had changed in to their sweats.
Sweats don't mean the celebration has to stop tho!
And the dancing!
And peace in the new year.
And...intergalactic thug peace signs?
The New Year: clean out the old and start anew...including tossing out that computer from 1994. Raise your hand if you remember using these floppy discs at one point in your life.
High brow and low brow meet (but which is which???): Chloe Sevigny and Pauly D at a Knicks game.
Me: Can you explain why there's a Korean boyband named 2AM and another one called 2PM?
Emily: Ok this is so sad I know this, but 2AM is the ballad group and 2PM is the dance group.

I will be here to attend a wedding-slash-vacation starting today. Penelope might not like it, but Javier Bardem is pretty damn stoked on my behalf. So is George W. Bush. Your regularly scheduled programming will resume on my return.
