painting the town new


Hey folks! I am live from New York City here! Man, has it been a busy week but I think I am finally ready to get back into a routine. I am [mostly] moved into my apartment, have the internet up and running, and  even had a little time to go out and explore this beautiful city I now will call home. I took my mom to see a couple hours of Christian Marclay’s The Clock at the Lincoln Center, checked out the Highline for the first time, and can seriously get used to all the amazing street art that paints the city. Can’t wait to start this adventure and share all the glories of this city with you! outside Christian Marclay’s The Clock

{ …that I was going to live in New York eventually and that everything in between was just a horrible intermission. I’d spent those sixteen years imagining what New York was going to be like. I thought it was going to be the most exciting, magical, fraught-with-possibility place that you could ever live in; a place where if you really wanted something, you might be able to get it; a place where I’d be surrounded by people I was dying to be with. And I turned out to be right.} - Nora  Ephron from My First New York

{New York is a fiction of sorts, a construct, a story, into which you can walk at any moment and at any angle and end up blindsided, turned upside down, changed.} – Colum Mccann, from My First New York
