It's really almost 12:30 in NY

Today was all about sleeping in, breakfast via room service, strong strong strong coffee, below freezing temperatures, and drivers name Muhummad. Going to SoHo to find warmer clothes, function over fashion, lots and lots of layers, and even more people on the sidewalks. Making it just in time for the Christmas Spectacular in Radio City Music Hall, glitter, lights, the smell of popcorn, and soft velvet seats. Glitzy Rockettes and cheesy scripts, jolly Santas and sky-high kicks. Streams of shiny string popping overhead, and the sight of snowflakes flashing on the walls. Coming back to the warm warm warm hotel to watch Cat in the Hat and Charlie Brown's Christmas. Lots of laughs and giggles due to the JibJab websites, with our faces pasted on dico-dancing elves. Helping D's little sister Libby with her multiplication tables and how to make a doggy face out of the number '8'. Chicken consomme for dinner and warm salty french fries.
The best part was Dominic getting out of the middle of his shower (not even 25 minutes ago) to go "Woohoo" and do his first birthday jig. Lots of huggies and kissies and snuggles and cuddles.
Tomorrow we will ((hopefully)) wake up early enough to make it to the Continental Breakfast downstairs. Trying to make the most out of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. At night we will endure the Giants game at 8 at night, but it will be worth it because Dominic likes football, so in a sense, I like football.
Goodnight!

Peas and love straight from my most faaavorite city of all: New York !!! I just flew in last night with Dominic and his family for his 21st birthday. We left Vegas while it was still in the middle of snow storms only to face winter in New York! The snow in Las Vegas was so surreal but at the same time it was comforting because that's the winters i'm used to. The weather last night wasn't too bad but as you can tell, straightening my hair was totally useless today because the snow fucked it all up :( wah.
We're staying at The London hotel in Manhattan, and let me tell ya, this is one schmaaancy way to start winter break! Even the lobby smells good. If the hotel lobby made a perfume, I would wear it. I am sooo thankful and lucky to have been invited on this trip! Sunday is Dommie's birthday and it will be so funsies. Except I'm not really looking forward to the Giants game we have planned. We're gonna have to withstand below freezing temperatures at the 8 o'clock game. But our hotel room is so nice! Dommie just got out of the shower looking over my shoulder right now haha. He is so cute :)
I'm upset we forgot a camera to take quick snapshots of the city, but being back here makes up for it. I'll update when I have something more worthwhile to say haha. I hope everyone is keeping warm!

1st post!

Here I am sitting on the living room couch watching my boyfriend Dominic play Super Street Figher II. There really is nothing like a good ol' fighting game I always say!
I know I am probably going to regret calling my blog 'Long Skinny Toes' but I couldn't think of anything to suit me. I am just not edgy enough I suppose. All I could think of is how my sister kept bringing up how long and skinny my toes are compared to hers over lunch yesterday. Better long and skinny than short and stumpy!
Anyyyyway, this blog is sort of a way for me to archive my findings and inspirations/ amusements and maybe I'll stick in my own graphic design work. Maybe maybe. I really do want to hear more opinions about my work, and it'll get me motivated to stay away from pulling a piece of shit out of my ass an hour or two before heading to class. I am going to try to make the layout as pretty as possible ASAP. This white is borrrring.
Here's a quick funny video before I head off to immerse myself in more homework:


I had such a kick out of the ending when Dommie showed it to me. Sorry if you don't get it, you would have to play the game to understand. Haha, I am such a nerdasaurus sometimes.
