Everyone who lives in New York should go see the cut-paper show at The Museum of Art and Design - it's AMAZING. Also, in the stairwell between the 4th and 3rd floors is one of the nicest paintings/installations I've seen in a long time.

Mother Michie has arrived!

November 20th, 2009

Ok, so I posted a version of this on facebook. But, really, I have no other options as it's possibly the cutest thing in the ENTIRE world. She was just hanging out asleep in there when I got up in the morning. Gaah - the cuteness!

Scolded for not posting. Sheesh! Well here it is.

Count-down to mom. This afternoon, crossing the street with an alumnus who was telling me about how pastrami sandwiches made his hands shake like a heroin addict, I saw a hawk carry off a pigeon from the top ledge of the Carl Fischer building. There was another pigeon sitting right next to this scene, and it barely flinched.

Tacos via Naomi - pictionary - keep the streets empty for me - officially Dirty Harry's birthday.

A soggy day, but kind of perfect. Long phone calls. Steak sandwiches.

Windy in DUMBO. Shook 20 hands (all male). A blue peanut m&m racing the length of the subway car.

Strand.

November 9th, 2009

Indiana Jones at the office - crated artwork and a crowbar. On my way home the R train stopped. Turned off entirely in the subway. Lights were on, but people so silent I could hear the man at the other end of the car turning the pages of his book.

I am the very model of a modern Shup-Shup-General,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Shup-Shup-General.

Sorry for the belated post, y'all. I had technology and motivation issues (what's new?).

November 2nd, 2009

Ok, I'm cheating again by posting two, but look how strangely well they go together? I can't get over those ribbons (and that they colored the Empire State Building for my work event!).
