On the way to class in Main Building...

The trip to NYC this time really inspired some nostalgia! Or maybe this obit would be of interest to me either way... the end of (the designer of) an era.

P.S. Does "Main Building" have some titular sponsorship yet? The name always seemed very un-NYU...maybe they're just holding out for the big big bucks.

Grammar is Good

Dear Driver:
Argh. Yep, those apostrophe things can go anywhere just plop 'em (see!) in and that's (ha) that. Like the scarf of grammar. Actually, no. I doubt you made the huge freaking bumper sticker that advertises your disdain for subtlety and grammar- but you did put it on your car, so you're guilty. Also, I don't know why, but I am dying to see your hair and make you use peruse in a sentence.
Ok, feeling better better now.
Thanks for indulging me l, j.

Ps- I am pretty sure drivers give you wide berth- have you noticed that?

best,

!10days!

Who's High Verbal?

Me. How cute is this? This is hangman with a 10 year old I tutor. She started with my hair, cause you do not want to end up bald. No ma'am, I do not.

This has been all over the Internets for the last week, but I figure that doesn't mean J has seen it! And maybe not even K. Whether you like the song or not, a Rube Goldberg contraption is always fun. And this one happens to have been located in a warehouse about 5 minutes from my house, I hear. I like it best towards the end...

wiry

I dawdled and took my sweet time with it, but some months ago I finally finished all five seasons of The Wire. Saying goodbye was hard, but I figured that, as with other changes in life, it would just take some time. But days like today, when I'm home sick, a bit too tired to read for long, yet longing for something worthwhile to fill this sudden free time with...

....sigh....

Pug in a blanket

aw...

Isn't Greece Suffering Enough?

Ok, what oh what is with the yogurt ads? I just think this looks well, kinda gross and silly. I like yogurt. But something about this ad is just so so unappetizing. Like rabbit droppings on yogurt. The authentic font is nice tho ahem. And why do I expect it to say fruit in the rear or something equally immature? Fail.

ah, kids

In keeping with the canine theme of late...

Take note: apparently all it takes to be defined as a hipster are some plastic glasses. Now, I love a dog-in-glasses photo as much as the next gal, but it's really the captions here that win me over. I think Raven might be my favorite...
