2010 - Day 146

Here is the view from Frying Pan, a great bar that is on a boat right above Chelsea's Pier. As you can see from this "artistic" photo, the boat does actually move and it was dusk. I had been to Frying Pan once before a little less than two years ago for a birthday party. Since then it seems to have gotten a bit trendier and was sorta packed. It still has views you can't beat and is a nice place to grab a drink and some garlic fries.

2010 - Day 145

It is that time of year where everything has to be completed before you can get into the summer projects you've been meaning to do. So I have been desperately trying to get to the bottom of my desk for about a week. Clearly, not a fun task. So it was incredible when Clare walked in with a box of See's chocolate for a break today. Mmm.

2010 - Day 144

My mom had told me about some sweet corn they had last week and I had a craving for some of my own. So I made some chicken skewers and sweet potato fries to go with it. I got a little too ambitious with the sweet potato fries and had to put half of them in the fridge to make later this week. Also I was making Jay and Amanda nervous cutting the potatoes. Jay said that I better not cut my finger off, because he knew from experience that was no good. Amanda added that she was too tired to go to the emergency room. I stopped already with the potatoes.

The Shirtless Men of 'Lost'

I could have taken a picture of the beautiful day, shopping for shoes and watching Lost. However, I thought this video about how Lost is an ode to the male torso, was much more appealing. I'm sure you'll agree.

2010 - Day 142

Apparently Akeli is the star of this weekend's posts. After I got to choose UES only on Friday, I told Akeli she could pick something for Saturday. So I meet up with her and Rebecca at a hookah bar and then we had some amazing tapas. After that I was exhausted and headed home. The weekend shouldn't be exhausting, but I'm an over planner, so it happens sometimes.

2010 - Day 141

I had plans to get a drink with a coworker and then meet up with Akeli after work. As the night was winding down I realized that nothing particularly unique had happened today, so might as well take a picture of what was currently happening. So here is Akeli sharing a whiskey sour with me at Bar Coastal. It is one of those bars that isn't quite a dive bar, but doesn't really fit into the next category. Which may be the way my life could be described as well, so needless to say, I like the place.

2010 - Day 140

One of my responsibilities at work is being in charge of all of the events which occur in Wallace Hall. I thought that the decorations and theme turned out very well for the Loyola School Auction. Their theme was Casa Blanca and it turned out beautiful.
