The Moma

I didn't love it like the met but it was interesting. Part of it was that we went when it was free and a madhouse.

I had seen many of the peices before which also made it not as exciting and I'm not a huge fan of paintings in general.

I definately prefer design amd art with more of a physical purpose. Say architecture, furniture, clothing etc. That beind said I really liked the picture if the men fighting.

Fruit Retrospective

At thr met they had this wax fruit centerpeice from the 1800s. It was so interesting to see the fruit was anything but perfect. With my experience from the pear tree, I can tell you that bruised, super ripe, juicy fruit tastes the best. But imagine if this was made now. People would instead think it was disgusting. In fact, I bet most people would through fruit that looked like that out. According to the placard, the fruit was all actually cast from real fruit.

Times Square

Last night we went to times square. I cannot believe how big some of the video screens are. I didn't even know they made high def video screens at that size.

There were so many people. The giant QA codes were cool because you could scan them from blocks away. At least with my phone you could.

Strangely the giant ads were for godaddy. For such a huge tourist attraction you would think a company that provides a service that applies to more general or consumer needs would have wanted that space.

Who goes to the square and decides they need a domain or some server space? I mean even I didn't.

Delicious Bone Marrow

(e:hodown) and I went to Quality Meats

in manhattan last night. The food was so amazing. Sadly I only took one pic of two food items - mint and butter edamame and beef bone marrow. We also had a giant bouquet of sea food with lobster, shrimp, crab, oysters and raw clams. It was a fantastic beginning to the trip.

Funny story. At the airport I had to pee and was running to the baggage area. Then my phone buzzed and I started paying attention to my phone and ended up in the middle of a bathroom. When I finally looked up because I didn't see the urinals I realized I was like 30 feet into a crowded women's room and all of the women were staring at me. I ran out fast.

On the way to NYC

Almost missed the plane. My sear is 20a and I accidentally sat at gate 20 waiting. I clearly am bad at air travel. Ended up being the last person on the plane.

Mom's Birthday at Shango's on Main Street

We went to Shango brunch

for my mom's birthday. The food was delicious. I had cornmeal fried oysters with poached eggs over potatoes. My dad got the chicken and waffles. It looked so good. Mom got chicken and grits. We all got the gumbo which I auggest you try if you go there. Last year for her birthday he got the same thing at seabar.

Afterwards we went to my mom's for dessert and gifts. This year we got her lobster and giant crab legs. I am a big fan of food gifts. I hope she enjoys them.

The 12 bug

There was this ridiculous oversight bug where every year's december blogs were not showing up when you clicked the date cloud for 12/any year. Turns out $date < 12 doesn't leave any love for december oops. Thanks for catching it (e:tinypliny).

This hat might have been hidden forever

orange and green

This lime ipad with the orange phone attachment is my favorite color scheme but when I saw it on my desk I couldn't help but think fisher price. It just doesn't look serious.
