here is what has been going on for you non- new yorkers (cityers- i now have to add that for rach!) and for all you new york citiers, here is a little review of some city happenings:
but first, in the spirit of Sesame Streets 40th (finally something older than me!) 
- this message was brought to you by Miss Kitty and the letter C!
1. If you haven't been yet, the kandinsky exhibit at the Guggenheim was a spiraled bit of heaven, or what heaven would look like if it was music thrown on a canvas. I have always liked the one or two kandinskies (the plural of kandinsky is kandinskies! i know this cause i'm an art snob!) but the exhibit, where you can look at them from up close to 50 meters, is definitely the way his art needs to be seen. Go if you haven't already! Plus, they have this giant gold beaded thing that is so much fun to walk through and put your arm through. (did that just destroy my art snob credentials? poop!)
2. C and I have gotten to explore downtown like never before, and he pointed out this building lit up like easter egg dye! the colors changed every few seconds and it was pretty cool!
3. After 3 disastrous attempts to follow a mighty vague recipe for white chocolate "funny bones" from epicurious.com i finally hit on the right way: 1. you must: use the tiny, thin pretzel rods (not the thick ones, as attempt 1 taught me) and use nestle white chocolate chips (as attempt 2 taught me, not white chocolate chunks) and use tiny marshmallows (as attempt 3 taught me)
to do about 90 rods, it took less than one bag of pretzels, less than one bag of marshmallows and two bags of white chocolate chips!
2. lay out one plate to put the pre dipped pretzel rods and lay out saran wrap to place the dipped rods onto
3. Smush marshmallows onto pretzel rods, it doesnt matter if they look crinkly, they will be coated in white chocolate and probably will bounce back after you set them down anyways. pile them onto your pre dipping plate
4. melt 1/3rd of the white chocolate chips for 20 second intervals until melted, taking out and stirring between 20 seconds- this takes about 1 minute total microwave time.
5. throw in about 6 pretzel/ marshmallow rods into your melted white chocolate bowl at a time- fish them out with a fork and set them on the saran wrap.
6. repeat step 5 until you are done!
people will gobble these up unlike any sweet snack food i have ever seen. i would bring them to all future parties if i didnt want to be known as the girl who always brings those bone treats to everything. but i call dibs on bring them to halloween things!!!
4. miss kitty does not really like wearing her mini sombrero. but no species are immune from halloween, right? right? at least its not a wig! So except for some bits and bobs thats been whats up in windsor terrace. tonight we are heading out for some indie/ brit pop dancing and trying to forget that next year, i will be 30!
cheers!

This post has so much of everything I love: Kandinsky, pets in costume, buildings that light up in Easter colors, Halloween recipes... Sigh.
I sort of wish I could have the disorder where you experience colors as sounds just for as long as it would take me to get through a Kandinsky exhibit. Synesthasia? I can't remember exactly what it's called.
