Snow Shots and Thumbs

There are a good many bad ones which is why I sort of disdain them. I will have a gallery of recent snow shots soon. I’m going to try to post every day as part of a resolution.

Westchester Sunday Night

I still don’t know how my friend lived with the same four or five women for over ten years and didn’t lose his marbles completely. Go cheeseheads.

Harlem / 125

Catching some of the last light while on my way to a small superbowl party in Westchester.

I have neglected the blog the blog for a while and I apologize. Before fall definitely changed into winter I took a few tree shots. I also have a few blizzard shots that I’ll upload very soon… and that Philly post will probably come out in the Spring because the photos are kind of summery and the snow is still falling. Stay tuned for a different kind of happy announcement!

Happy New Year

May it be better than the last. My years have been getting worse and worse. At the same time, they could be worse.

Deli Delights

14 street deli

I didn’t even buy potato chips here. So bright and creepy.

Wilt the Stilt

Got my Philly post coming up soon.

Eurotrash Cometh

I had the pleasure of DJing for a lot of Germans and some other Europeans on Thanksgiving night. This is nothing new but I am a bit jealous of the Eurotrash because the ones I talked to have really crappy jobs, yet they have healthcare and can afford to travel through their whole four-week vacation and then some. They see the United States as a failing imperial power ceding by default to China whereas Europe decided a long time ago that building useful things is a lot better than building war. Their taste in music corresponds.

Goodbye Fyyffer

I donated my car Fyyffer to a charity and she got towed away yesterday. We did one last trip to Philadelphia last week. Besides the front bumper falling off while I was there, other mishaps occurred but that’s another story. I guess I had her four years. She was a good $900 car.

Camping and Stuff, Summer 2010

Here’s a photo dump from last summer. A friend and I went up to North Adams, Massachusetts in the Berkshires for Bang on a Can’s Mass MOCA festival. Unfortunately, none of the performance shots came out and I didn’t take many other pictures while up there.

For Labor Day, we decided to go camping again last minute and Bear Spring Mountain (not to be confused with Bear Mountain) was the only campground in the area that had open spots. We found tons of yummy wild mushrooms in the area mostly growing around the spruces and we cooked up many a mushroom feast while we were there and even pickled a big jar of them!

One night, we went to Upright Citizen’s Brigade and I left my camera behind. The staffers took one of the shots below…
