paint, clarissa & chinese take out

so amazing how painting can be so inspiring... or at the very least tiring!  The girls and boys of residence 220 ave. B in the lower east side were gladly given a little assistance by, yours truly, to finish up the last of the framework to their hallways (if you can call it that...ha!).  Hallways, you must remember, represent more of, well, narrow walk ways in manhattan terms.  you're lucky if you can squeeze two through a hallway at once, and lets remember hallways aren't necessary isolated, elongated, or in any way shape or form big but its that informally comfortable teeny tiny way that makes you feel like you're really living in the city, & what more could you really ask for?  with a vintage leather couch and floor serving as chairs, and a trunk as a kitchen table we happily split up boxes of chinese food and a bottle of wine while discussing drew's aspirations to become the next great leather coaster maker.  honestly, a new apartment with the new paint smell can't be any better than here.
