Being sick in NYC isn’t that bad…

Posted by Greg T. on January 28th, 2009 in New York

Day 3 of being sick. I haven’t left the apartment in 3 days, I’m praying that I don’t wake up tomorrow feeling like my joints are being electrocuted. But being sick in NYC isn’t so bad. I got way too much delivery from Veselka. Christian was kind enough to pick me up a bunch of naked juices from the bodega. I think I’ve kicked my caffeine addiction on account of not having had anything caffeinated since Sunday’s awesomeness. Ok, hoping tomorrow is less fluey.

It also snowed and since melted while I was under quarantine. When it snows in the city it’s somewhat of a paradox because it’s first really beautiful then it’s chillingly sloppy.

That’s a Whole Chicken

Posted by Greg T. on January 25th, 2009 in Food, New York

I like to make a whole roast chicken every few weeks. It makes for ridiculously juicy breast meat and provides a great carcass for making stock. I like to buy my meat in Chinatown because it’s way cheaper than Whole Foods. However, the chicken in Chinatown comes with some extras you don’t normally find. Also, there’s definitely no organic or free range certification and the meat tastes a bit gamier.

Pipilotti Rist: Pour Your Body Out (7354 Cubic Meters) at the MOMA

Posted by Greg T. on January 24th, 2009 in New York, Videos

I renewed my membership to the MOMA. My mom got me a membership to the Met, which is awesome (thanks mom!) except that the Met is a “suggested donation” of $20 aka $1 per visit. I’m going to go to the Moma at least once a month, perhaps for their Monday cocktail, open til 8:45pm nights.

Here’s Pipilotti Rist’s Pour Your Body Out (7354 Cubic Meters):

California Academy of Science

Posted by Greg T. on January 12th, 2009 in CA/Home, Videos

I visited the California Academy of Science while I was in the Bay Area. I also have been shooting a lot of video with the new 5D MkII. I like that video is more engaging–you’re forced to stare at it for a significant period of time, where as photos only require a quick glance.

This is how the economy feels

Posted by Greg T. on January 9th, 2009 in New York, Videos

Like a bull in a way-too-small cage, bored, sitting on some hay, on display–people wondering if it’ll do anything. This guy was out in front of the stock exchange yesterday.
