November 21, 2004: cafeteria thanksgiving

I went to MOMA! some (Emily S.) know it by the name as store, but this is the world famous (and world awesome if that works as a descriptor) Museum of Modern Art. I give them mad respek for including the o, though subjugated, in the acronym.
The intangible feeling I inevitably get in museums was present, 10 fold. There is a whole gallery devoted to interesting examples of design, and it was a 6 out of 6. the photographs were amazing. well basically everything was, but to avoid seeming too verbose, I will punctuate this visually:

after being here for around three months give or take, I have only been to three out of five boroughs.
manhattan is a given, and I would like to pretend that I know it by heart. everywhere south of 14th streeet, and I can say that and almost be not lying.
I have also been to brooklyn, the home of rappers and hipsters alike. I would like to consider myself somewhere in between that mix, but only history shall judge.
and last weekend, I visited STATEN ISLAND!

to anyone who is not vaguely aware of the significance of this 1/5 of new york, look it up on wikipedia. one fact to throw out there is that it is the largest methane polluter in the world. why am I close to kissing the ground (I say this because I do this in a later picture)? ye olde thespian goodness. we did a documentary in images on a journey from my current home to SI as the crazy kids call it. it required a ferry ride, which was cool.
in all honesty though, Staten Island isn't that bad, especially given that I hate being overly ironic and disappreciative. we met an old lady named Betty Davies, she was cool. and a ninth grader (the kind that finds cartman overly funny in a non-ironic sense and likes to scream a lot) called me the coolest man alive. 4 out of 6
it should also be noted that there is no reason why I shouldn't have been to bronx or queens.......whoops, jenny jenny jenny

Soon I will return home! To cars, cold, and people most of which make Omaha worthwhile. I will miss new york though. but I miss you kids, I'm all about doing it for the kids. perhaps it will be fun. correction, i think it will be very fun. I am way too pumped for it maybe though

lastly, I am a 4 personality apparently. next blog perhaps I will bring to you Which Lord of the Rings Elf Am I?
