Crown Burger in the New York Times

Check it out.

They trace the origins of the infamous Pastrami Burger (a.k.a. Mint Burger to Tyler), and talk with the interior designer: "You have to admit that when you sit in one of the Crown Burgers, you’re eating a burger in a grand place."

Amen to that.

eh?

Better than Gyllenhaal

Actually, the role of Keenan will be played by this group of asian school girls.

Our Class: The Movie

In honor of Libby's recent findings of celebs as graphic designers ... She and I have decided to make our own version. Here are what celebs will play us when we finally get around to making our class movie.

*Note, please do not be offended by any of these. If you are offended, feel free to upload whoever you would like to portray you instead...IE: Nick would upload Brad Pitt.

Love, jenny & libby

The Amandanites

Today I told my new roommate I was going to the Amanda Knight building to work on stuff.

She thought I said the "amandanite" building....Like a building full of Amandanites.

She was like, "Did I miss that part in the Book of Mormon?"

I thought it was comical.

Girls: We Are Doomed

Apparently we have two choices: graphic design or marriage. think of the girls you know who didn't make it into the program, are they married? probably. Meredith, Emily White, Becca, Katie, married. Jenny, Libby, Tara, Angie, Ashley, single. Even Julia, a newlywed, only made it a few days before she quit. We will need to get a count from the new Juniors to confirm my theory, but I'm pretty sure it will be consistent. We are married to our work, girls, get used to some long lonely nights.

lol :D

i found this whilst going through some files on my ipod.

i laughed out loud to myself for a couple minutes. again. because i did the first time when i made this little e-vite. maybe it's why only three or four people came to the party... i don't know. but i really think this is one of the funniest things i've ever seen. freaky and weird. but funny. i found these quirky photos when i searched google images for "pizza party" -- this was on some guy's blog. he was documenting a pizza party he had just had with some squirrels at the local park.

anyway, i couldn't resist posting this.

so now that school is starting again, does that mean this blog will start again too?

Double Whammy

Not only did I see a Song airplane on the LaGuardia airstrip, but whilst perusing an exhibit at the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum, there was a display on our beloved friend, the Target pharmacy labels. OK! I GET IT!

However, I work with a dude who went through the SVA undergrad program, and he gives it a rating of "eh, it was alright. They don't really teach you anything... [because all they do is keep telling us how this one girl redesigned Target's pharmacutical lables and revolutionized the entire world and how we should revolutionize the world too, one easy-to-read label at a time.]"

He didn't really say that last part, but I'm taking editorial liberty to include it, because he said it in his eyes.
