Blog completion date! Which makes me a little sad, we'll see what happens with future blogging projects. (And, while I didn't technically take this picture, it felt funny not to end with a crazy-eyed horse and me in a blue hat.)

Tomorrow I go to Iceland! So, there's going to be a mini-hiatus here, coinciding with the actual official "end" of this blog. I'm going to post pictures of the final four days of the last year of my twenties when I'm back and - gasp - thirty. Stay tuned or maradjon velünk - ha, I'm totally finishing these posts in Icelandic from now on.

Spa-zombie of the highest order. (Also: after the spa we saw a little fluffy white mini-poodle that only walked ON ITS HIND LEGS! It hopped along with its man while on a leash and then hopped up the stairs all on its back legs. It was hilarious, moderately creepy, and fascinatingly weird.)

This rocking chair is pretty modern looking to you, don't you think? Well guess what: it was designed and made in 1851! And this specific chair was exhibited at the 1856 Worlds Fair in London.

Starn Brothers! On the roof of the Met! It kind of seems like the Met is trying to get a warm-up vibe going with their Friday night rooftop happenings, and it might actually be working: there were lots of young hipsters on the roof drinking Brooklyn Brewery Summer Ale and wearing hip sunglasses. AND I got awesome Byzantine earrings at the met shop for a ridiculously inexpensive price (since I ran out of the house after napping without remembering to put mine on).

Kick-boxing is so much fun - and the weirdest thing happened: on the train there I was noticing some funny scratchitti referencing a "Khalil" (not my Khalil but still it caught my eye). While I was determining if I could take a picture of it for him a slurpee cup kept rolling and bumping my feet. I was way at the end of the train, since I now know where the exit is for Smith/9th Street. An hour later, rushing up the stairs to catch an F train just barely squeezing into the front car before the doors closed. I plopped down near other boxes and stared off into space. A couple was sitting across from me - one of them looked down in irritation at something at his feet - a slurpee cup! I was TOTALLY on the same subway car and now I know how long the F train takes to run and turn around. I checked the scratchitti after the couple got off and it was totally the same train. Amazing!

Me: Um, sure. People come and sit with her. They look at each other. She's been here for 700 hours.
Old Lady: Oh, okay, thanks. Where are the naked people?
Me: On the sixth floor.
Old Lady: Oh, great! I should let him go up there, huh? Ha ha.
