Elle’s Monday Motivation

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Our blog mascot offers some words of inspiration: When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~ Kahlil Gibran Elle seems to be in a less sarcastic mood this week.

Central Park and a Duet

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Remember a few weeks ago when I wandered around Central Park taking pictures? Well, I also shot a lot of boring video footage, too. I have no idea why. So, after Josh suggested layering the original Fountains of Wayne and the Katy Perry cover of “Hackensack,” I decided to do that. With the incongruous footage [...]

Thanksgiving Parade

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Like any good homosexual, I believe parades improve many things: political movements, holidays, festivals, religious rituals, sexual encounters… anyway, today I woke early enough that I couldn’t make an excuse for staying in when the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was passing by just two blocks away. After fighting the crowds at Starbucks, I managed to [...]

Yet, in 2009, I find reason to celebrate, [...]

Central Park in Autumn

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

My long memo is due this Monday and the psychic stress level at school among 1Ls is going up and up to the point. We grimace at each other in greeting these days. I also realized that the last time I left the campus interior for anything longer than a run to the nearest drug [...]
