2010 - Day 31

Akeli chose revolutions as her birthday theme. I didn't get too into it, I don't do great with costumes. However, my very creative friends came as a vast array of different revolutions. Jean's costume was the best Revolution #9 from the white album. However, this picture is of me, Ivan and Rebecca, with Ivan trying to take a self photo of a group of people as well as Jean can do it.

2010 - Day 30

I decided that I was going to walk home from the West Side of town even though it was freezing out. As I was going through the park I was thrown off by the giant snow machines in the middle of the park. According to the sign they are for some kind of winter festival in the park, the people in the picture are on a ski lift? I don't really understand this, but I'm planning on getting to the bottom of it.

Today was Miriam's last day as a receptionist at work. I bought her a chocolate moose and this is her enjoying it and waving goodbye.

2010 - Day 28

Agatha & Valentina is quite possibly the best grocery store of all time!! I always call it Agatha & Valencia , because I get it confused with the city in Spain. I don't know why that is, but whatever. It is set up in courses just like a meal and it is my favorite place and quite possibly the only place to buy basa fish, which is delicious.

2010 - Day 27

Occupational hazard I guess that so many things end up in my office, but I forgot about this crucifix and it startled me when I walked back into my office. By the end of the day, however, it had found its new home at a new Catholic School in Bushwick.

2010 - Day 26

It was Jean's golden birthday, so I trekked down to Brooklyn and bought an ice cream cake. Apparently, it was Jean's second ice cream cake of the day! We went to one of those really chill bars in Brooklyn, where people were sitting there reading a book and having a beer. While we sat in the front solving impossible math riddles, telling lame jokes and doing a celebratory shot of tequila. To each there own. Happy Birthday Jean!

2010 - Day 25

A picture of Monday dinner! The Monday dinner tradition is by far the best thing that ever came to pass. Tonight, Amanda tried to make her own dessert. She was inspired by a peach cobbler type thing. However, she thought that pears are a little more in season than peaches so she tried that instead. They turned out pretty good, and obviously we ate them. Tip for next time, I think that we might want to cook the pears for a little bit before adding the sugar. Regardless, it was another successful Monday dinner.
