After Waiting two hours in line, we finally made it inside the Game of Thrones Exhibit, it was worth it!

GAME OF THRONES

Going Saturday (maybe Sunday if i can convince Cory to go both days).

Ahhhhh Can't wait.

A reflection in photos

We don't have an oven, I am told by Angela, my Chinese friend, that is because the Chinese don't bake. Whether that's true or not (it would explain the Asian bakery's every 1/3 mile in Chinatown and my first apartment did not have an oven and it was a big apartment) it means I can't really bake.  Until we have an oven, Cory got me a cupcake maker and i have been experimenting with frosting. Speculoos is a great desert spread only found in Trader Joe's (or specialty markets), which is our supermarket. Its a Graham Cracker spread that tastes a little gingerbread-ish but not really.  It's just good. I mix it with (or have it spread alone) over cupcakes as frosting. I give it to Cory to take to work to make friends but really he eats them at his desk.

It was warm one day, some day (not today) and I took this photo of Cory, we run along this pathway. From the Brooklyn Bridge (Sea Port) to 23rd street and back, about 8 miles total.  

My friend Chayla always has us over to her apartment,  a few weekends ago she had a dinner party (I kinda forced her too because i'm obsessed with her dog and apartment) at her place in Williamsburg. Let me say, I don't like Brooklyn very much, I like the space. No one dreams of coming to the Big Beautiful City of Brooklyn and the hipsters are THE worst. THE WORST part of Brooklyn.  I always say, you can dislike people but you've never really disliked people like you will in Williamsburg. It's the Olympics of disliking people.

Anyways.

Her boyfriend was there visiting from D.C. and has become friends with Cory. They both like soccer and are funny so i guess that for boys that = friendship. Seriously though, he is very nice and funny just like Chayla whom I met through work.  They are both from Missouri, very sweet, nice people and she puts up with me so I'll take it.

I have however, tried to steal their dog on many occasions. It's a miniature Husky, which means it will always be this adorably small. SO small.

It will be mine

Weather here has been crap. It snowed the first day of spring which i have found just makes everyone even angrier  You can think, oh heeeeyyy New Yorker's cant get angrier but then you delay Spring and everyone is shanking everyone like it's a prison courtyard.

Cory took a screen shot on his Iphone from our conversation, I was meeting him at the gym from work and got distracted. I was being serious until he realized i was going to be late and then i had to tell him i was kidding (I wasn't). 

The Metropolitan Museum

As a Birthday gift to Cory, his mom bought us tickets to The Met. It snowed all day Saturday and there were so many drunkards on the street for the Saint Paddy's Day parade we decided it was the perfect time to go.

Egypt was awesome, they took tombs from the pyramids and brought them piece by piece and reconstructed them back together. There were rooms and rooms full of mummies. The windows in the photos below looked out on Central Park, which lit the whole room.  Since we visited from 2pm until 9pm  we were able to take night and daylight photos. The room had water to reconstruct the temple below that was in Egypt.

I loved the detail of the face on the painting of the Egyptian women below, the detail that remained from something as old as 120 A.D.

There are rooms and rooms of ancient Greek statues, all so beautiful.  

Cory and I loved this one

My Favorite Painting 

The Museum had all sorts of reconstructed rooms from all over the world. 

Some of the more famous paintings we were not allowed to take photos of. Picasso, Van Gogh, Botticelli, we were there for 7 hours and didn't get to see everything.  They had entire wings dedicated to Arabic art and bibles from 100 A.D. written in Hebrew. Any culture had it's own wing, it was amazing.
