CRUMBS cupcakes > Whole Foods Cupcakes > Magnolia Bakery Cupcakes > Big City Cupcakes > Cupcakes in Vancouver
for realzies. that should give you a good idea of what I've been doing the past couple of days :) (yes cupcake sampling IS considered an activity)
Highlights from the last few days:
on love
- Love this City more and more and more .... will the love ever stop??
- Love strolling the streets while listening to Jay Z's Empire State of Mind blasting out of a NYC Taxi.....
- Saw movie trailer trucks in SOHO. Obviously I followed the trail.
- Led me to watch a film crew filming "The Adjustment Bureau" starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. Don't get too excited. Didn't see Matt or Emily (even though I waited 1 hour). Better luck next time I guess !
- Met John Krasinski (Jim of The Office) at a discussion and reading at McNally Jackson Booksellers in SOHO.
- He was discussing his directorial debut of the great book, "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men". John is officially on my Freebie 5 now. SO genuinely nice. SO genuinely modest. So cute in person. Read the sexiest monologue out of the book....
- Best part of the discussion? He SLAMMED Transformers. Said that they making "bad movies" nowadays and said all studios care about is making money. Effing hilarious. I love him even more.
- I've decided to take the 250 sq ft studio. Will post pictures once I get figure out how to live in it !
- Just had one of the most stressful mornings ever. I went to sign my lease today but HSBC refused to give me a certified check because they said my account was too new. WTF.
- .....so I went to Chase Bank and they couldn't do anything for me.
- ..... then I went to TD Bank and they were less helpful.
- ....so I went to the Post Office to get a money order, waited a ridiculously long time in line and then remembered I had a limit on the amount of my debit card withdrawals.
- ....then I tried to get money order using my credit card but since I haven't paid down my outstanding balance that didn't work either.
- SO finally - I talked the rental management company into letting me sign the lease without any money down. So exhausted now!
- Do you know how much willpower it requires to NOT purchase something here? LOTS. I've become a very strong person.
- My rule is that I will not start my fall fashion collection until after I've moved into my apartment because I need to see how much $$ I spend on setting my place up.
- But no worries - there will be stiletto and fashion posts soon!
hugs & heels!

A cupcake test is my kind of test! You know...the cupcakes was one of the major things I was looking forward to when I was supposed to go to NYC a few weeks ago. Ah well, hopefully I make it to NY within the next year at least!
Have fun with your new city!! :)
LOVE this post
Crumbs is better than Magnolia? How have you tried so many cupcakes! I haven't gotten around to Magnolia yet, but now I likely won't since Crumbs takes the cake (haha) on the hierarchy list.
And if you ever figure out how to get a credit card in this country, do let me know.
Ooh I'm glad to hear you're getting settled in the city and having so much fun! Sucks re. the bank trouble, though. :(
Are you living in NYC permanently?! For accounting work or editorial work??!! Do you miss Van?
So vancouver cupcakes is the worst?! haha I must try the cupcakes when I go to NYC next year! :)
