Love, Captain Leroy Hook.

ps: please dont ever make me wear this stupid outfit ever again.

You tell him, joy and andrew!!!

watch the clip here.

i slipped on a banana peel this morning.

it was in real life, not in a cartoon. i know that jessica did an experiment to see if they really are slippery, but you cant really understand it until you're leaving your apt in the morning and out of nowhere you slip and fall into the wall. obviously you assume its dog poo, but then you look down and realize that you jsut had a real life cartoon moment.

its gonna be an interesting day.

the balick kids (dr. alli and andrew) are flying out to ny on nov 1 for the dolphins jets game. this will be all of our first times going to a professional sports game when its not sweltering hot outside. i think ill be fine with the cold, but alli and andrew, coming from miami and la, both bust out long underwear if it goes below 70. (im seriously not exaggerating). i saw that the forecast was 60 degrees with "brilliant sunshine" so i got real excited and showed them. andrew was dead serious when he responded... "woah woah...HIGH is 60!? im scerd.."
its gonna be a long, cold game for the balick siblings.

Jenn's Dream Big Apple Landmark #24

Updated: THEY TIE DYED THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING (a for effort)

Caayute.

shattered dreams.

for the last three years, lindsay and i have been trying to make it up to buffalo for their annual chicken wing festival in hopes of entering (and winning) the miss chicken wing pageant. two years ago we missed it becuase i was in miami. this year we couldnt go becuase lindsay was in a wedding. next summer we are going, no questions asked. her mom was even trying to plan lindsays wedding for that same weekend, but lindsay said she had more important things to do.now that september 4-5 is marked in lindays outlook (that means its official), i started doing my research on what we need to do to prepare for the miss buffalo wing pageant. i found the details here and discovered some incredibly unfortunate news.

Contestants must be single and never married, not pregnant and between the ages of 17 and 23.

not only is silly lindsay going off and getting married a month before, BUT we are old folks who arent allowed to enter!! can you beleive it??? does anyone know how to get us ny state 23 year old fake id's??? regardless, were still going. we have 11 months and 16 days to figure out how to be a non married, non pregnant, 23 year old, chicken wing loving new yorker.

there should be a leroy in every borough.

today we volunteered with nyc cares, and painted this awesome mural on an elementary school in bk. jenn painted leroy and he will now forever be honored at PS 59 K William Floyd School. After taking the beautiful photo seen above, jenns back immediately looked like this. (cool scrunchie)

Let the Wild Rumpus Start

As you might know, 52w14 is no stranger to the mighty crown. As you might have somehow heard, Where the Wild Things Are comes out today.

Due to our incredible fame, we were invited** to an early screening on Wednesday night. Spike Jonze, Dave Eggers, Karen O, Cathrine Keener, Max Records, and John Hodgmen (and his iphone) all graced us with their presence. Then they gave us Max crowns.
(you might notice the nose picker in the back is crownless, just saying...)
The movie & the soundtrack are really really neat. You should partake in the fun.

**Working definition of "invited" in this post means we donated to 826nyc, a non profit (founded by Eggers) dedicated to supporting students with their creative & expository writing skills. There's a few around the country so consider paying your dues to childhood and helping some kids get creative.

i'm cleansing again.

this time i thought id ad a little extra torture to the deal. i got a beautiful cheeseburger manicure so everyday i wake up and look at my finger, and remember that i CANNOT eat a cheeseburger til a week from friday. its gonna be a looooong 12 days.

i did lots of fun things last night.

then i woke up and discovered this today. how on earth did i get undressed last night?

it was a real good birthday.

i rocked my new furry zebra blanket pants and went to the shake shack. thanks for everything, everyone.
