Anna Kendrick is a total babe…and other things I learned at the Apple SoHo store
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World at SoHo Apple Store, Michael Cera, Anna Kendrick, Jason Schwartzman, Edgar Wright, originally uploaded by zokuga.

Mermaid Parade 2010, Coney Island
Mermaid Parade 2010, Coney Island, originally uploaded by zokuga. If I lived equidistant between Coney Island and Central Park, I don’t know if I could decide between the two where to put the towel. I was so impressed with how well kept Coney was that I told to my friend that it had been overly [...]
