Love Me (aka London, Part 2)

Yeah, yeah...I was in London seemingly a million years ago and have yet to finish posting the pictures. But here goes...

Anyway, below are pictures from my favorite bit of London: Borough Market. Stinky cheeses, beautiful fruits and vegetables and fresh oysters all make this one of the best markets I've ever been to (runner up is Rome's wonderful Campo de' Fiori)

Really, is there anyone who can resist truffles with such cool flavors?

Turkish delight! They were soft and with so many interesting flavors, like "Mastica" which was odd and pine-y.

London (part 1)

Recently came back from a great week in London. I miss spending days exploring a new city, going to great museums and getting lost.


Get Stuffed


In some of the public bathrooms, they have this interesting unit where you can get soap, water and then dry your hands all in the same place.


Postman's Park


Winston Churchill's WWII bunker


Yuppie Body of Christ


Near Brick Lane




Fire Garden near Tate Modern


Thames River Festival Parade


Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park

Los Angeles

Last week I went to LA for a few days and the most interesting thing I saw in LA is below:

Which should give you an idea of what I thought of LA, Orange County specifically.

Followed by cloying cutesy kitties. Don't get me wrong, I love cats but cat crap can not be tolerated.

The stuff of nightmares...

My mother has a smashed doll head that she wants to see if it can be fixed. Apparently, a woman had a still born preemie and decided to mold a doll head from the dead baby, hence the doll.

Um...

What?

Bronx zoo

Uh um...so I've been remiss. No real explanation other than I've been busy and not taking pictures for some reason. However, I went to the Bronx zoo and came away with a few decent pictures...

Dokdo island shenanigans

After not knowing what this picture from a 2006 post meant, I finally have an answer.

Thanks to the NY Times.

uh, cutting your fingers off and stabbing yourself seems just a tiny teeny little bit extreme to me. wow.

One day we will part...

Pipilotti Rist at the MoMA. I love Pipilotti, she makes me so happy. Her Ever is Over All video is hands down my favorite piece of video art.

Below are pictures from her latest installation, Pour Your Body Out.




Near home there's this wonderful piece of "knitting graffiti" which makes me so happy whenever I walk by it on my way to/from the subway station. It's been a little spot of orange sunshine this winter.




And finally, some wonderful street art.

Everything left behind

It's been a long time since I've updated this. I've been feeling overwhelmed with all that's going on. Happily with a vacation day today, I'm slowly catching up with everything I've been meaning to do.

Below are pictures of what's left of my childhood home in Atlanta.



How strange to see everything gone. It was remarkably difficult to remember where the actual house was. Everything looked smaller and horribly inconsequential.
