2008 - The Year in Pictures

Sunset on the Hudson

2008-05-31T23:05:00.000-04:00

So I was running late to meet K, M & B for Sex and the City and I grabbed a cab. I got stuck in major traffic on the West Side Highway so I took a breath and looked out the window. WOW!!

I just started snapping pictures. So beautiful. Just think had I been on time I would have taken the subway and missed this!! :) I made it in time btw!

Birthday Pizza!

2008-05-30T23:03:00.000-04:00

J took me for pizza in Hoboken and I couldn't believe the size of the slice!! Check it out next the fork!! SO GOOD!!

Happy Birthday to me...and it was!

2008-05-29T22:45:00.000-04:00

Today was a wonderful day. It was one of the best birthdays I can remember in a LONG time. I woke up to flowers from K which I took to work. I then found a gift card and balloon from V. My team at work then presented me with an Ipod Nano since my Dell DJ is on the way out. Then I grabbed dinner with J in Hoboken on my way to rehearsal. I left early and met P and to see Pillow Talk in Chelsea. It's one of my favorite old movies. I remember watching Rock Hudson movies with my mom and this one was one of our favorites. It was fun to share it with P. Then we went to Burritoville for a LATE dinner and he gave me some wonderful gifts. He gave me a sock that he knit for me. (I think I get the other one next year!) then he gave me an Ipod Touch!! WHAT what? I have been wanting one but didn't really see it in the budget for the near future. He engraved it with a lyric from a song that is very speical to me. But the best gift he gave me was a little handmade book of rememberances from the past six months. Just funny personal things that only he and I would really understand plus Lucy and Ellie wrote me some poems. What smart dogs. Who knew they could write?!?

It was so thoughtful and special to me. The effort that he put into it, and everything for that matter, is what really touched me. So often in my life my birthday has been negative and for P to make it so bright was really amazing.

I sure do love that guy!

Look what I got!!!

2008-05-28T22:36:00.000-04:00

After agonizing over it for over half a year I've upgraded to a smart phone. Or as I like to call it...a Gifted and Talented Phone. I LOVE IT!! I worked a decent deal since my contract was up. I had to realize that no matter how current I am with a phone or what have you the next one will be out before I know it. So I celebrate that I have a great phone that I really enjoy. And before you ask...I didn't want an Iphone. I don't want to be told what company I have to use for service and I don't love the touch keypad. I MUCH prefer the buttons on Curvy!! This was my early birthday gift to myself.

Laka whata?

2008-05-27T22:33:00.002-04:00

This is a shot of the Lakawanna tower in Hoboken. Can you tell where I've been spending my time lately?

Please pass the ketchup

2008-05-26T21:59:00.000-04:00

So as I walked down Washington St in Hoboken I stumbled upon this sight in front of the Johnny Rockets. I had to take a picture. I must admit I find garbage interesting for some reason. Anyway I found this fascinating. THREE garbage cans full of empty ketchup bottles. I wonder how many days this is from? I hope it's all recycled.

Cherry Blossoms when you want 'em

2008-05-25T21:54:00.000-04:00

This is a shot of a picture for sale on Washington St in Hoboken. Since I love Cherry Blossoms I had to take a picture.

Don't make 'em like they used to

2008-05-24T21:50:00.000-04:00

I love this building. I walk past it on my way to rehearsal in Hoboken. I just love the colors and ornateness. It really stands out against the other buildings.

Silver Lining

2008-05-23T21:45:00.000-04:00

Stunning picture of the clouds as I walked to subway in Inwood. Just beautiful.

Domeit

2008-05-22T22:45:00.000-04:00

This is a dome over the Bryant statue from a few weeks back. It makes me think of a big eye.

Gemini Horoscope for week of May 22, 2008

2008-05-22T13:14:00.000-04:00

Giuseppe Rebaudi and Silvie Basain started dating in 1952. This year they finally decided to take the next step. After a 56-year courtship, the 101-year-old Italian man wed his 98-year-old girlfriend. I predict that a comparable event will bless your love life in the second half of 2008, Gemini. Some romantic development that has been in the works for a long time will finally ripen into its full expression. Expect news about this soon.

Cuteness Part 2

A little Lucy Cuteness for a Wednesday.

Wow

2008-05-20T22:30:00.000-04:00

I just love the Chrysler Building. It looks so majestic in this stormy sky.

Hoboken...again

2008-05-19T22:28:00.000-04:00

More of the Hoboken Terminal.

Hoboken

2008-05-18T22:24:00.000-04:00

This is the building next the Ferry Tower. I pass all the time but on this particular day I noticed it's charm.

Lakawana Ferrry Tower

2008-05-17T21:47:00.000-04:00

In all the time I've spent in Hoboken these past few years I only just noticed that this tower says "Lakawana Ferry" on it. It reminds me of a line in "Hair" about the Lakawana Ferry. Who Knew?

Breakfast of Champions!

2008-05-16T21:39:00.000-04:00

We've moved up from breakfast hor'dourves to the big leagues. These are organic blueberry waffles (Do you like Waffles?) with coconut oil, cashew butter, dried cranberries, walnuts, sauted banana, coconut, blackberry maple syrup and whipped cream!! :) They were super tasty if I do say so myself. Look out IHOP!!

Cuteness!

"Pain is weakness leaving the body," says fitness trainer Mark Duval. If that's true, you have gotten a lot stronger in recent weeks. By my astrological reckoning, you've shed a few months' worth of emotional distress, you've purged a few years' worth of frustration, and you've exorcised a couple of lifetimes' worth of confused dreams. Congratulations on all the new vitality you've earned through your constructive losses.

Rooftops

2008-05-14T21:32:00.003-04:00

I noticed this on the way to P's place. The buildings look mostly the same but the most noticeable thing to me is the different colored awnings. I really liked them.

Bryant Park's Name Sake

2008-05-13T22:49:00.001-04:00

As I walked across Bryant Park this evening I noticed this monument and inscription. I never knew who it was named after.

Random

2008-05-12T22:40:00.000-04:00

I was walking down 80th street and noticed this in the window of some store. I am not sure what they were trying to sell with it but it got my attention.

Happy Mother's Day!

2008-05-11T22:51:00.004-04:00

Happy Mother's Day Mom...I miss you!

Bryant Park Carousel

2008-05-10T22:51:00.002-04:00

I spent some time in Bryant Park recently and noticed that the Carousel was back. It's hard to get a shot when it's moving. I thought it was funny that they had it going even though no one was on it!

Pansy...Who you calling a Pansy

2008-05-09T22:50:00.000-04:00

I love Pansies!

Cherry Blossoms!!!

2008-05-08T22:50:00.000-04:00

This is the Cherry Blossom tree on my block. I've been waiting for it to bloom. Sadly it will only be there for few weeks!

According to a survey, one out of every ten people says the Internet makes them feel closer to God. I predict that you will be part of that group in the coming days, Gemini. But it's not just surfing the Web that will bring you into more intimate communion with the Divine Wow. Washing dishes will do it, too, as will buttering toast, brushing your teeth, and skipping down the street. For that matter, throwing imaginary rocks at the sky, blowing your nose on your sleeve, and pretending you're a rock star will put you into a more fluid alignment with the Primal Root. Pretty much everything! What if you're an atheist? You're free to ignore the evidence of Spirit's presence pressing in on you from all sides. But even if you do that, I bet you'll still enjoy a profoundly enhanced sense that life is wildly meaningful.

Ariel was going through a hard time. She'd been weaning herself from a painkiller she'd taken while recovering from surgery. Her cat ran away, and there was a misunderstanding at work. One night while at a nightclub with her friend Leila, she spied her ex-boyfriend kissing some woman. Meltdown ensued. Ariel fled the club and ran sobbing into the street, where she hurled her shoes on top of a passing bus. Leila retrieved her and sat her down on a bench. "Because up until now you've displayed such exemplary grace in the face of chaos," Leila said, "I'm giving you a free Crazy Pass. It gives you a karma-free license to temporarily lose your mind." This compassionate humor helped Ariel feel more composed. The rest of the night she partied beautifully, achieving major relief and release without hurting herself. Now, Gemini, in accordance with the omens, I'm awarding you, too, with a free Crazy Pass.

In a study of pop songs, sociologists from the University of Colorado concluded that love isn't as popular a topic as it used to be. Bestselling tunes sung by women rarely use words like "care" and "cherish" anymore, and references to love have declined precipitously. Meanwhile, male singers ignore love and obsess on sex far more than they once did, and both genders revel in pain and selfishness at a higher rate. I tell you this, Gemini, as a prelude to announcing your assignment, which is to counteract the trend I just described. For the foreseeable future, be a prolific genius of love, a creator of beautiful collaborations, an unsentimental devotee of sweet and tender intimacy.

In her book Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation, biologist Olivia Judson extols the male members of the fruitfly species Drosophila bifurca. Although they are barely one-eighth of an inch long, their sperm can be up to 2.3 inches long. If a man were capable of the same prodigious production, his sperm would be as big as a whale. Metaphorically speaking, you Geminis now have the ability to generate phenomena on this scale. That's why I hope you will devote all your ingenuity and resourcefulness to creating an intricate, beautiful masterpiece, not a humongous, complicated mass of confusion.

What I hope you'll achieve in the coming days is a state of mind like that described by Dan Linton, one of my readers. This is his report. "Last night I went to Wal-Mart with a friend who was returning some tools. I walked around the store while he was at the service desk. In the shampoo aisle an unusual man who looked like an Aborigine made extended eye contact with me. As he walked past he announced in a happy tone, 'Your mind is empty.' I was super excited and found my friend to tell him. 'Isn't that an insult?' he asked. 'No,' I said. 'The guy meant that my mind is clear, which is true. This is the first time in two years I've felt that my mind is free of shrunken expectations, limiting concepts, and emotional distortions.'"

Gemini Horoscope for week of April 3, 2008

2008-04-03T12:39:00.000-04:00

Even if you have no plans to get married, I suggest you enter the Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest, in which rival designers compete to create beautiful bridal gowns using bathroom tissue. You just might win, thereby earning the cash prize. Why do I say that? Because according to my reading of the omens, you now have a special skill at conjuring up cheap elegance in service to your urge to merge. You have an unusual knack for turning things of little apparent worth into valuable aids to intimacy.

Perspective!

2008-04-03T00:21:00.003-04:00

I can't take credit for the design of this picture. I saw some tourist take a pic like this and I thought what is he taking a picture of? So I got out my camera and took the same shot. I really like the results. This is the Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle with a red closed subway globe in the foreground.

Libby!!

Wolves in Akron?!?

2008-04-01T00:15:00.003-04:00

This is a picture of a dog (wolf?) from behind someone's house in Akron. We stopped by to see my cousin M on the way to dinner and I saw some dogs in a yard nearby. Then I noticed this one. Thankfully he was on a chain! :) I was afraid he was going to blow my house down!

Little (insert color here) houses for you and me!

2008-03-31T00:12:00.003-04:00

Just some cute houses we saw in Cleveland. I really liked the colors and designs of them.

Shopping, Optimus Prime, and Rivers

2008-03-30T00:09:00.003-04:00

So J, D, P and I had brunch on Sunday and then went shopping. We stumbled upon these selections. I consider myself adventuresome in terms of eating but I must admit I don't think I would partake of Sauerkraut juice...I don't care how "Digestive" it is!! Celery juice is equally unappealing to me as well but at least it's Organic! :P

So on the drive home P noticed in the rear view mirror that Optimus Prime was following us. He passed us and saved the world!

This is a shot out the window in PA somewhere. Every so often I would see something and gasp that I wanted to take a picture of it but by the time I would get the camera ready we would be past it.

There were lots of little odd houses in the middle of nowhere. We often wondered aloud..."where do they go to school or how does an ambulance get there?"

Skyline and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

2008-03-29T00:04:00.004-04:00

This one of the things I miss the most from Ohio - Skyline Chili!! I grew up with Skyline (and Goldstar, another company) It was everywhere. I remember going to Goldstar in the Towne Mall as a kid. It was right next to the arcade (ahh arcades!) and when I went to the mall I always got a coney or two. Coneys are a little hot dog with Cincinnati Chili and cheese you can add onions and mustard. I don't do the mustard but I love it. So when we moved to MD I was shocked to find that they were only an Ohio thing and not in MD. So this was a true treat to have.

This is the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It was fun but they don't allow photos inside!!

Dragons, Shakes, Happy Faces & HeMan...OH MY!!

2008-03-28T00:02:00.003-04:00

This is from the restaurant we went to for lunch (I can't remember the name). It had a lot of vegan options for P. This sculpture sits in the corner and I thought it was really cool. I just wish the thing under it was not there so it showed up better.

This is what happens when you give a Vegan a "Milkshake" or should I say a Riceshake. P got a little overzealous when he poured the leftover in his glass.

This was a fun little bench in Cleveland Heights. Look how happy Cleveland Heights is! :)

We went to a store that had all kinds of older toys etc. I used to LOVE He-Man. To think that I used to have so many of these. My Dad gave most of them away when I was away in college. It was fun to look at them with P and say which ones we had.

Horoscopes for week of March 27, 2008

2008-03-27T12:37:00.002-04:00

Danni, the renowned "Psychic to the Rich and Famous," predicts that disgraced ex-governor of New York Eliot Spitzer will relocate to Nevada to build an empire of legal high-end brothels that will feature the services of Britney Spears and other starlets on the downside. In that extravagant spirit, I prophesy that during the rest of 2008, you Geminis will have love lives that are as tumultuous and melodramatic and desperately interesting as the romantic escapades of bi-polar Hollywood idols. APRIL FOOL! Your love life may be unusual, uncanny, and highly entertaining during the next eight months, but it won't be painfully funny.

You'd almost think I only hang around Columbus Circle since all my pictures of late seem to be from there. However in fairness I do walk past here every day. I've always like this global and since it was a sunny day I figured I'd snap this picture. I can't wait to see it with the trees in bloom.

One Way is the RIGHT way?

2008-03-21T22:38:00.004-04:00

I took this picture of the angel in Columbus Circle from across the street. I almost think it's new as the body and wings are brighter than the rest. I didn't notice the "One Way" sign until I went to post it. Is the Lord telling me something? :)

Truck Jacking anyone?

2008-03-20T22:45:00.002-04:00

I saw this on 8th avenue and had to take this picture for K, they are his favorite cookies. I have never loved these. I mean don't get me wrong I do love them in ice cream but I never really grew up with them around. I actually prefer the vanilla ones. Or better yet NUTTER BUTTERS!! Now there's a truck I'd steal! :) Wow now I want to break up nutter butters and vanilla oreos in ice cream.

Gemini Horoscope for week of March 20, 2008

2008-03-20T12:24:00.002-04:00

It's an excellent time to seek out new allies, expand your social network, and make connections with influences that will motivate you to grow smarter and stronger. Here are the kinds of connections you might want to be on the lookout for: 1. hard workers who find everything funny; 2. down-to-earth idealists who place no emotional value on having expensive possessions; 3. nerds who are cocky in mysterious ways; 4. humble perfectionists who obsess over the integrity of every little thing they do and then mock themselves for being so conscientious; 5. couples who hold hands and jump into big puddles with their nice clothes on; 6. sympathetic listeners who will kindly kick your ass if you need it.

Today to kill some time I went Midtown Comics East. I have been there in at least 6 or 8 months. I ended up buying the first Trade Paper Back for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It is the first six issues of "Season 8". I picks up where the TV show left off. I had the first two issues but now I have the whole arc. I have to say the story is fun to read. I combines two things I love - Comics and Buffy!! I was talking about the store tonight and I realize how excited and energized I get talking about comics. I should find a way to harness that. So here are pictures of some DC characters including my favorite : WONDER WOMAN. This is art work by Axel Ross. I have always liked his interpretation of her.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Here I am giving five to a Leprechaun I happened to run into on the way to dinner tonight. I couldn't get him to show me where the pot of gold was!!

Hey I know that PIG!! Here's P hugging his favorite pig. We happened to be getting dinner next door and since I made him pose with this pig once before I HAD to get him to pose again. He was gracious enough to do it and didn't even get beat up by the drunken bystanders!!

So after we left Sing Along Grease at the Ziegfeld we were walking to the train saw this:

GIANT containers of CORNED BEEF!! Ewww ALMOST makes a fella want to go VEGAN!! :) Almost!

Spring time on the mountain top

2008-03-16T23:58:00.002-04:00

So I finally went outside today! I am feeling better about 75% so I went to meet P for dinner at Gobo. It was great but it's a bit pricey. What is it the vegans overcharging for cryin' out loud!?!? There's no meat! :)

Anyway I took this picture of the mountain top as I walked to train. I noticed these yellow flowers growing. I hope it's a sign Spring will be here soon.

Home Sick Day 3

2008-03-15T23:27:00.003-04:00

So I am still home sick. I think I am getting better. I am bummed cause P & I were invited to E's game night in Brooklyn. I was looking forward to it but I still didn't feel 100%. I think it's better that I rest this weekend than run around so it was for the best. However the photos are of P's and my dinner from last week at Angelica Kitchen. I had the top one which was Seitan with Mashed Sweet Potatoes (I LOVE mashed Sweet potatoes!) and string beans. P had the Ole Man Seitan burrito which had Mole sauce. I LOVE Mole Sauce. :) We shared it all. It was funny cause I was wanted to ask for a second plate to give half of mine to P but he told me to just eat half and then pass him the plate. For some reason that never occurred to me as splitting a meal. It worked but I think I like the idea of having both options in front of me at once. It's my Gemini showing, I like options! :)

Home Sick Day 2

2008-03-14T23:17:00.001-04:00

So this is a pic I took last Friday with P as we went to see my friend M's one woman show . It was my third time seeing it. I was really impressed with what she did. We had a great time and ended up seeing the woman who played Celie from "The Color Purple - The Musical" which we had seen only a few weeks ago. I don't know what this was a sign for, I think a bar. But I really liked it.

Home Sick Day 1

2008-03-13T23:00:00.000-04:00

So I was home sick today and took no new pictures so I offer this from Sunday night. As P, his friends and I walked past the fur covered Barbies I noticed moon. And I snapped this pic of it. Sadly I couldn't keep my hand steady enough so it's a bit blurred but I really like it.

Gemini Horoscope for week of March 13, 2008

2008-03-13T22:32:00.000-04:00

Before you attempt a quantum leap of faith over the yawning abyss, please remove your 500 pounds of defense mechanisms first. Your success in soaring the whole distance will require you to be free of emotional baggage. As long as you fulfill this simple prerequisite, I'm in favor of you risking the transition. It's about time you summoned more zeal to follow the path with heart, even if that path resumes on the other side of the great divide.

Columbus Circle Part 3

2008-03-12T22:44:00.003-04:00

So on my way home from work this image caught my eye. It's a guy looking in a manhole. It struck me as so odd when I saw it.

Faces all around me.

2008-03-11T22:41:00.002-04:00

This is a picture of some windows on a building (I don't remember where). I was struck how it looks like a face to me somehow. BOO!

Columbus Circle Part 2

2008-03-10T22:38:00.002-04:00

Now that Daylight Savings Time has taken effect I was able to get these pictures of the fountain on the way home from work. I really like them.

Fur is Murder...Unless you're BARBIE

2008-03-09T22:32:00.002-04:00

So I went to see Persepolis (the Oscar nominated animated film about a girl coming of age during the Iranian Revolution), with P and some of his friends. I really liked the film and getting the chance to meet his friends. The night before I went with him to this cousin's 30th birthday party and got to meet much of his Dad's side of the family. They were all really very nice and I had a great time. I basically met most of the important people in his life in one weekend!

As the group of us were walking to find the Thai place we were going to have dinner in I spotted this in the window of a fur store. I went in to see how much these cost and they were $99 each. I used to love Barbie so I had to take a picture of this! It reminds me of when I saw these Bob Mackie Barbies on TV years ago. Check them out here: http://www.angelicdreamz.com/store/mackie.html If I had unlimited money and space I think I would collect them! LOL

Weekend Hor'dourves

2008-03-08T22:29:00.004-05:00

So on weekend mornings when I stay at P's I make us these little Hor'dourves. He used to make crackers with coconut oil and peanut butter and I took it to the next level by adding banana slices and dried cranberries. On this occasion I added dried blueberries and almonds. I must admit it was delicious! I took these with my macro setting...Thanks Macro bok bok!

Columbus Circle Part 1

2008-03-07T00:17:00.003-05:00

I walk past this many nights on the way home on the A train so I stopped and took a picture of it. It's part of the fountain at Columbus I don't recall if I've ever seen water coming out of it.

Gemini Horoscope for week of March 6, 2008

2008-03-06T11:02:00.001-05:00

"When friends stop being frank and useful to each other," wrote literary critic Anatole Broyard, "the whole world loses some of its radiance." Make sure that doesn't happen any time soon, Gemini. In fact, regard this horoscope as a warning beacon that motivates you to action. Intensify your intention to keep your best alliances frank and useful. Infuse a dose of raw candor into any relationship that is in danger of becoming lazy or dishonest.

Who said Disney is taking over New York?

2008-03-06T00:11:00.003-05:00

So this was the window at the Drama Book Shop on 40th street. I thought it was colorful it seems to be celebrating Disney on Broadway.

George and Rocky

2008-03-05T23:05:00.002-05:00

So M and I walked around Union Square as I CRASHED from my sugar high and I took these pics. I had a good time trying to get the squirrels to pose for me! :)
