Hope everyone had a great one! Ours was spectacular! First brunch, then Governors Island, saw the David Byrne building instillation, had lunch on Wall St., and finally gathered up snacks and had a wonderful cookout on the roof while we watched fireworks. It was fairly low-key with just a few close friends, which is just the way I prefer it!
P.S. After this weekend, I’m thinking normal posting shall resume. Have a great one!
i am so tired and happy! Things have been non-stop in our world since Thursday night. Like I said last week, having visitors is the best!
This was a long (but still, not long enough!) weekend of dinner in Chinatown/Little Italy, shopping waaay too much (but walking away with some great buys!), swinging in the park, grilling on fire escapes, sushi, Lemongrass (karaoke!), walking in the sun, Marines in bars, The Beer Garden, Crocodile Lounge (pizza!), subway Zamboni, Coney Island, sand, not enough sunscreen, fun, friends and adventure! *phew* I hope Lisa comes back sooooon!
I have been in such a painting mood recently and it’s great! I’m trying to see how many of these bird watercolors I can crank out. Painting birds seems so odd, too, because I’m usually so much more interested in people (and portraiture, more specifically). But, I’m really having a lot of fun, so why stop? Next up, the cardinal!
New York City Pillow Fight 2008 *third annual*
Saturday, March 22nd 2008 in Union Square at 3:00 PM
A massive pillow fight in New York City! Feathers fly and teddies soar as we gather for a massive urban pillow fight! Swing and whack as you evade pillow-wielding assailants. Bring a pillow to Union Square and wait for the signal. Pillow fight!
This year’s pillow fight is timed to coincide with pillow fights in cities all over the world.
When it comes to computer games, I would have to say my favorite genre would be “point-and-click” (closely followed by old-school first-person-shooters, but that’s a different post). Back in the day, I played the hell out of Myst and, its sequel, Riven. I love being able to explore buildings, rooms, etc., solving puzzles, without worrying about time limits or attacking bad guys. Just me and the environment. Might sound dull as moss to some, but to each there own.
In an attempt to remain frugal, these days, I’ve been on the lookout for great free games that I wouldn’t have to download. (I’m at work and I don’t need to clutter up my work compy). In my search I’ve found some really great games (Dwarf Complete, Vision), but I just finished up on this wonderful series called Submachine. It consists of six games, uniquely designed by Mateusz Skutnik, and are highly addictive! Some are much shorter and easier, while others require to meander from area to area to solve. My favorite would have to be 4 or 5. Happy gaming!
