this is rico and i in new york…we are on a boat cruz of manhattan and staten island

rico and i became friends back in feburary…i was sewing a pair of mens pants in my room quite awkwardly and i was using rico…i was pissed off at a bunch of people so i decided that i was going to become best friends with this cute little chocolate brown spool of serger thread because he was cooler then the people i was pissed off at…i named him rico beacuse i was listening to underdogs and rico came on…i love that song

so that is the story of rico…he’s pretty cool and i heart him greatly

you make think i am a nut, but let me assure you there are nuttier out there…

ahh…the jazzy jazz festival as i like to call it…quite the experience…i myslef like all types of music, however am not an uber big fan of the jazz…other then bill cosby scatting that is…but alexis asked me to go and wanted me to bring matt so she could finally meet him and so i decided to broaden my cultural stance…

we met up at waterfront and began our musical journey…

matt made the most freakin amazing shorts EVER…he found some vintage wool at his grandmother house and made these…i cant get over how fab they are…they’re a smige tight beacuse matt doesn’t know how to make clothes big, only really really tight – matt is a bit of a skank

he is really going to be famous one day…i just know it…his designs are amazing, his clothes are amazing…everything matt does just blows me away…i dont get how someone can be so creative and fashionable…everything he buys some how comes into fashion – he is beyond his time

alexis took us for sushi in a 50s diner…it was odd…i had been there before but when it actually was a 50s dinner…i guess the people that bought it didnt feel like changing the decor…it was really interesting being in a place that was so one thing and being served something that was soo different…the food was good…but the noodles were sketchy, so matt ate them, and alexis ate my chicken, and i ate my sushi…

once again my photography amazes me…this should be an ad for something

matt made sure that before he came to the jazz festival he knew how to scat…so he got his brother to teach him…wasn’t as good as bill and his cosby but it was pretty funny…click to watch the video…it should work – and if not at least you get to hear it!!

we sat at the park on the cornor of hastings and cambie where one of the stages was…we listened to jazz while alexis and her friend D, who joined us, looked through the georgia straight at all the adds for transexuals…whats a jazz festival with out transexuals???

matt wanted to go into pappas furs since it was across the street, but i didnt think we looked classy enough, so instead we took random pictures of people…that is always more entertaning

while we were sitting there some guy from some AM radio station asked if he could come up and interview us…alexis and d were willing but matt and i knew nothing so we didnt…

eventually we got joined by more of alexis friends, dave and k bot??? – yes…anyways…decided to go to dressew since we were right there…two fashion students and a bunch of crazy people – dressew was a must…D decided to try on this R2-D2 mask, which we thought was pretty sexy

in the eve matt went home and friends left and we met up with alexis’ fam (which was half of my family too) and we went out for dinner…her cousins from north carolina were visiting and andrea was the cutest ever!!! she kept calling alexis’ dads cell secretly from under the table and he was getting so confused…it was great

there is never a dull moment when alexis is around…one day up at manning park i decided that i was going to give some of my cousins names of beatles songs… Maria was lady madonna, Elise was mean mr. mustard (i didnt like her at the time) and Alexis was sexy sadie…so today she tells me this story that her parents originally wanted to name her mercedes but it would have sucked beacuse the only short form for the name would have been sadie…and i was like OMG you could have really been sexy sadie!!!! see it was so meant to be…

but yes…our jazzy day was fun and i am glad i went…and all that jazz (sorry sadie i had to say it!)

so after months of harassment i finally obliged kyle to a game of tennis…and boy was i out of shape…we didnt actually play a game…we just rallied – is that how you spell it???

anyways…it was fun…until some cool asains came and showed us up…whatever we were hotter…when we were done kyle went home to watch tennis…i think he thinks it will improve his game…not likely

my boobs look big

i’m fake playing

nice form

he isn’t a bad player – in tennis that iskyle – his mom and i are best friends…b/c kyle took italian in highschool

so yesterday i took a speratic trip out to the ‘burbs to visit matt…he wanted me to bring my camera so i could take some pictures and blog them…i think he hates my obsession with blogging…but i dont really care…he is clearly jealous of me…

the thing with matts family is that they eat dinner late…like 7ish…where my family eats dinner early…5ish…so the man tells me to leave my house at 6:30 so that by the time i get to his he will be done dinner and we can go out…well by the time i had gotten there they hadn’t even started at all…so i got to join them and eat my second dinner that night…

we had good food…chicken, cold noodles, green beans…all so very yummi

then we left for steveson…his parents thought that was a bit sketchy of us – they are uber classy…it makes me jealous…matt is so lazy – maybe thats why we get along so well…we got to take the new volvo on our 5 minute drive…it made us feel special – people stared – especially when matt made noises with the clutch

we walked along the board walk and made fun of people…ugly young couples kept staring at us…and i know it’s because we were the hottest emo thing going – matt hates when i referr to emo

next we went to get ice cream in the village…we were two feet away from the store when matt decided it would be more fun to walk all the way back, get the car, and drive there…so we did…as i told him stories about how boys are stupid…

the ice cream was good…matt didnt look at the girl serving us b.c. he thought he was too cool…our next stop was gary point…everytime i stepped in to or out of the volvo i felt like the coolest person in the world…and people stared and i loved it…we decided to be a snooty married couple with our hot car…it was a good plan…

next i wanted to go to the dyke…a rehashing of old memories…masochistic…we drove like the wind breaking all speed limits – i was on cop watch – he kept turing around and going different ways b/c people infront of us were going to slow…thats matt for you…after we went to dairy queen because i was cravinig fries…he was embarassed to be there…
