i have not had much time to blog these days, or write of my random thoughts in the city but every once in a while an image comes my way and i like to throw it on here for your viewing pleasure :)

someone at grimshaw sent me this image of this cool car park in germany. if all car parks were like this is would be great! imagine how it would transform the houston landscape!! : )

New York Times Building Field Trip : )

I had the amazing opportunity to visit the Times building again last week. My old colleague Serge from (RPBW) took me and few other former interns around the site. We actually walked up 14 flights of stairs at one point because the elevator had already stopped running : ) that was not the highlight of the trip but I thought I would comment on it anyway.

The spaces are so amazing and the play of light with the tubes or "baguettes" on the facade create amazing shadows.

Hanging out with 64 morton

Although I don't have any pix form the last week I did just get some from one of the former residents of 64 Morton (the girls whose place I took in my new apartment). These are my room mates/ neighbors/ friends :)

this was about a month ago we had a bar-b-q in their little backyard patio behind our building.

So actually I have a new room mate that just moved in to take the place of my other room mate gennie that moved out about a month ago. I know, it's complicated. it's funny I feel like in 7 months in New York I have made up for all the years I lived at home during school and never had room mates. I think Lillian (the sister who moved in this past Saturday) makes my 5th roomie since moving here not to mention all the girls at the women's residence! That was like having 20 room mates!

Back from the depths of work

Well it's been a while since I made a post as I have been working like a CRAZY woman :) and on top of that I had a friend staying with me from Richmond so as soon as I came up for breath I was out with her and still neglecting to write . Unfortunately in all these days of wandering about with visitors I have neglected my camera: ( so though a lot has happened and I have enjoyed some great new things in the city I have no interesting pix to share, well maybe a few :)

I just have to mention before I go (since i am yet again at work : 0) that last night I went to this great concert in the middle of central park at the Naumburg Bandshell as it is known. it was an amazing performance by the Naumburg orchestra. Very good classical music accompanied by an opera singer in one part and a classical guitarist in another. And to top it off the event was FREE!!! Now who ever said you have to be rich to live and enjoy New York City. I have seen and visited more interesting things here for FREE than I can list on this blog. Another great thing about it was that the weather was amazing! About 70+ degrees and it's august! It was also great fun because I went with my room mates and their cousins and auntie who brought us a yummy picnic dinner to eat while we watched.

ok this is getting to be a lot like a diary entry so I’ll leave it at that and try to work on collecting a few photos to post later.
