No more coffee...

Still awake... to the point that I dug up my external drive and decided to go retro- and post pictures of the national parks I've been to. Ugh, did you know I have to analyze about 400 patents by Wednesday?!

Anyway, this is Arches National Park.

Let's see what else is on here...

This is one of my favorite buildings in NYC. I don't go to that area very often and just happened to be there recently. It seems misplaced, and doesn't quite scream NYC, but hey, I like old things :)

Excuses, excuses!

It seems that I have some really random pictures of Central Park. Well, one logical explanation is that I've been lazy. SO instead of running in the morning, my legs somehow negotiate with my brain and i get myself "pictures days." Instead of running, I stroll around in the morning for an hour looking and taking random pictures.

No relations

Ok, this post is really random. Not only do the pictures have nothing to do with each other, besides the fact that I think they are both pretty, they were taken at least 6 months apart.

The first one was just something I saw on my way to an event last fall. (To those in the know, this is the SHOE story night...it seems that I *lose* my shoes more often than Cinderella.)

I just took the second one last night on the way to get Pinkberry with D. Of course, my old little 4 mp was laughed out of Columbus Circle by 10 mp Canon super fisheye setup in the hands of a guy next to us, wearing an Adobe hat. I bet he is really good with Photoshop.

@#$ Coffee

i can't sleep because I had coffee today... so here I am finally posting about my new wall!

This was actually done during Memorial Day weekend when X came to visit. After living with a blue wall for 2 yeas, it was time to make my living room not only looking but also sounding yummy- "peanut butter" yummy. We spent one prepping and priming and paint two coats in flat. Then HOURS of taping these overlapping squares. Another coat of the same color, but in a shinier finish. It's super cool. You can't see the pattern all that much when you look at it straight on. But from an angle, you can see the pattern!

It's 5 A.M., do you know where nodoh is?

So I must not be playing enough volleyball because I woke up at 5 A.M. today and had the energy and the urge to go outside! So I grabbed my camera, put on my marathon-wannabe shoes, and headed out to see what the city looks like before it goes on with its busy day.

"Super steak please!"

You know how sometimes you don't really appreciate something until it's gone?
Well, after a long long hiatus, I went back to Boston for a visit! FINALLY!

And of course, no trip is complete without paying homage to my absolutely favorite food place in Boston- Anna's!!!! Ah, if the walls could talk, it would say that I was there way too much! In college, Anna's was C and my default meal, where W and J tried to figure out how many burritos they could make in a minute (yup, we were bunch of nerdy kids), where me and my boys hung out (second only to BK... and that was because BK stayed opened later and was physically closer). Later, in law school, this is also the place where X and I spent our time when we skipped antitrust lectures. Oh and this is DEFINITELY the place where M spent about 15 minutes a week telling me about his research. One time he even gave me a napkin full of equations and told me to prepare for the pop quiz the following week, same time same place.

Ah, good times! I think I'll take one of these to go please.

oh ok, so instead of super steak, i got a steak quesadilla instead. but it was AWESOME.

If we had more time, I would have gone for that hole-in-the-wall Thai food place. That's where X and I spent the rest of our time when we weren't in antitrust lectures :)
