Brooklyn, Murakami, LIRR.

ChazNugget — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 02:05:25 +0000

One of the perks of living in FoHi is having an LIRR (Long Island Rail Road) stop for two reasons.

1. Options and convenience. We have the E, the F, some local services AND the LIRR. So we decided to jump on it and head down to Brooklyn and check out the Murakami exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum with Jennifer. Grubbed at Chavella’s , checked out the exhibition, met up with Mr Softie, and grubbed Columbian style in Queens.
2. I just think that it’s designed well from a graphical standpoint

Eating at Chavella’s – my dish: bistic & onions, over easy egg, fresh fried tortilla chips, beans, cheese.

My favorite piece at the Elastic Mind exhibit at MOMA deserved it’s own post. If you can see it – see it. If you can’t, check out the site.

Rob came up with the idea to check out the Elastic Minds exhibit at MOMA. So the Hutt team took a quick break and checked it out. Nice day out, some nice pieces at the exhibit, good time with co-workers. The perks of working in midtown.

Moleskin

Back when I first moved out to NYC, I bought a new moleskin to write/draw in to catalog my new experiences here. I think I went 3 pages deep and never continued. Seeing this inspired me to pick it up again. Been stuck in a rut recently – got to change my outlook! 07 was a memorable year for me. Going to try to make 08 one too.

Flexed a little home improvement muscle and finally finished my home studio/office. I turned this closet / storage area into a private, closed door, home office. Its right next to our bedroom, so I’m within reach of Joanne and Co., but with a closed door policy – much needed creative space and productive work can be done. Here’s some quick iPhone pix:

Just a really quick update. Jenn, Wali, Joanne and I went to the Guggenheim on Friday to check out Cai Guo Qiang. After, we taxi’d back to Queens and ate at Sripraphai. Delish.

…I don’t really post about politics, but with the whole prostitution scandal, I caught this wonderful image of Spitzer on CNN.
