More MoMA

So I’ve been back in Boise for two weeks and so I guess now’s as good a time as any to try to put up more pics, right? So we’ll continue with the MoMA visit from the first time. I won’t, of course, be putting up all the pictures on here. Just the most interesting ones. Of course, ‘interesting’ is pretty subjective but…whatever. As always there are more...

MoMA...? Yeah...

I’ve got pictures of that. So when I went to MoMA (the first time) the Tim Burton exhibit was still going on. It was awesome but there were no pictures allowed in it so I just took a few pics of the random stuff outside the exhibit…and then a couple hundred of all the rest of the museum. …a giant inflatable whatever-that-is. “Hey, which way to the Tim...

Another NYC update...

…what do you do all day? This is a picture of my UN badge. yep, still look like a doofus. Here is another picture of my UN badge showing the kind of neat hologram thing in the plastic… Apparently the ‘D’ stands for something like Diplomat or something. I only know this because a friend of mine who worked with the UN University (Hi, Alex!) told me he did not have a...

In an effort to further catch up on photos...

…here are a bunch more with many more on the website here: http://gallery.me.com/erik.sande#100586 and, since we’ve gone over the 500 photos mark, here: http://gallery.me.com/erik.sande#100594. This update gets us from the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island (which was surprisingly cool), and the bull at Bowling Green one day and then through pizza in a cone, some of Central Park, and...

Finally...some more pictures up...geez.

I know what you’re thinking…what took so long? Well, I got busy with work and death and putting up pictures kind of took a backseat. It’s interesting how this city has an energy that seems like it can recharge you and yet run you down at the same time. The internship is still going well. I’m more than halfway done which, of course, is cool and not-so-cool. I got to see...

My place...

..yeah, it’s been a while. Ever wonder what $1800 a month in Midtown Manhattan would get you? Yep, a salmon-colored bathroom, that’s what. Anyway, this is my place and it’s actually really, really small but really, really cool because it’s small so it doesn’t get dirty and it’s, like, a 7 minute walk to work. I will frequently walk home for...

NYC update. (No pics)

Sorry no pictures. I’ll try to get on that this wknd though. I work from 830-ish to 6/630-ish though…then I walk home and have to make dinner and iron whatever I’m going to wear to work tomorrow so I usually don’t really feel like doing a bunch of computer stuff. Also, I didn’t have internet until yesterday (thank you MiFi) in my apt, nay studio… Does anyone...

USUN

Just a quick post about my new job. No pictures…because they don’t let you take any. In fact they don’t let you take anything electronic into the office spaces - I even have to leave my cell phone at the door. It’s just my second day so I haven’t gotten any “real” assignments yet. Yesterday was a little boring for the first half of the day because I just...

Cliche photos, The Whitney, More Central Park, and...

Josh and Yvonne, the couple I was staying with get both New York Magazine and Time Out New York. Both of these magazines accomplish the same goal of keeping New Yorkers up to date on what all is going on in their awesomely large city. Anyway, there was an article about someone who had gone around to a few places and spray painted a stencil of “cliche photo”. One happened to be on 33rd...

But wait there's more...

Just because I’m back in Boise (the other B-town) doesn’t mean the adventure has to end. Yep, that’s right, it’s an adventure…like the Goonies. Just without the treasure of a long dead mono-eyed pirate, booby traps, Sloth…or Baby Roooth? Anyway. If you saw the last video of the room I looked at renting in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn, these pictures are...

Videos don’t work right away. It takes vimeo, like, 20 minutes to “transcode” it. But, if you were curious about what $1200/mo will get you in the Williamsburg area - this is it. Yes, at one point I do stretch out my arms and touch both ends of the room. That = very small. On a side note, there is a distinct possibility that I will be flying back to Boise in the next few days since I still have no...

Videos don’t work right away. It takes vimeo, like, 20 minutes to “transcode” it. But, anyway, it took me about 15-20 seconds to figure out what this was. I’m sure it won’t take you that long…

UCBT and WTC...and a little bit of Battery Park.

The other day I thought I would go and try to see something at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (UCBT). So I took the subway… …up to Chelsea. …and proceeded to immediately get lost. The subway is immensely helpful in getting around the city but it is equally helpful in getting me lost. You don’t really think about it until you get on but…if you walk somewhere,...

Clearance...?

Nope, not yet. Just as a reminder, this internship was supposed to start on 2/9. It is now 2/25. Erik, Your case is currently being reviewed in the adjudications process. I contacted your adjudicator and she informed me that your case was actively being worked and she is attempting to complete as soon as possible. Thank you for contacting us, XXXXXXXX Customer Service Center Personnel...

This is from the other day, the last snow storm where it snowed all day…got about 6 inches or so. It’s supposed to snow like this again tomorrow and the next day.

This is from Monday night as well. The lights on the building were really pretty, I thought. Then I noticed that they were changing. Thought it was kind of neat…exactly 23 seconds of neat.

Feb 24th

Okay, let's finally finish off Monday...

…yep, last Monday. Oh, and no. I still don’t clearance. What the what, right? Anyway…ummm, yeah, so I’m still walking around and it is now dark. …and snowing. But it is still pretty crowded as some of you might have seen from the previous video (again, available at: New York City.) So you’ve all seen the buildings and whatnot, how about an interesting...

Grand Central/UN/Times Square at night...

Alright, so while walking down 45th (again) to get to the UN, I started looking for a bathroom. Of course, I found a Starbucks…but I only noticed the ridiculously small size of the Starbucks after I had ordered my coffee. Too small for a bathroom but now, at least, I had paid for something that would make my search all that more urgent. The coffee-girl (I refuse to use the word...

Monday - 5th Ave thru 30 Rock

So, when last we left our stream of random photos, we had just eaten at Chipotle. Where to next…? Oh right, more pictures of big buildings… Yeah, not like that gaudy shit across the street… Okay…now I thought this was actually pretty hilarious… What could all these people be doing waiting in line when it’s, like, 35 degrees outside (no cheating by...

Monday in NYC. (Times Square I)

Since it is snowing whatever the snowing version of cats and dogs is outside, I guess I’ll update this with some pics of my Monday. Breakfast…? After the bagel and coffee, I walked to the Atlantic station to ride the Q to Times Square. I took some video of it but I’m still debating whether or not it is too ‘Blair Witch’ to actually put up here without making...

I could probably watch this all day. This is outside the Brooklyn Law School. Pigeons are hilarious…

Saturday night.

So I walked across the Brooklyn bridge and was super glad to see this… …because it meant that I knew where I was. …right? Hmmm…maybe not. It was just after this that my cousin got a hold of me so we could meet up for dinner. Either through me not being familiar with where or I was or…well, me not being familiar with where I was, I couldn’t find the right...

The house I'm in.

Who wants to see some pictures of a house they’ll never visit…? Josh and Yvonne’s house is really awesome. Think old meets new with restoration hardware details. Very cool. I’ve included a few pics… It’s a narrow house but not too narrow, with huge plank floors, high ceilings, and an addition on the back with radiant heat (pretty awesome). There’s three stories and a...

Still no clearance...

..but I decided to wait for the clearance in NYC instead of Boise. I got in to JFK around 3:00 and then got my bags. The baggage claim for Delta reminded me of baggage claims in Italy…not all that nice but relatively effective. After I got my bags, I waited for, like, 20 minutes for a cab. The ridiculously nice people that I’m staying with recommended I just take the train...
