Night on the Town

Its a long weekend and I'm off out into the wilds of Manhattan , haven't made it to any blogger events but am off to meet some fellow dlisters at Studio 64!!

A Win

A win for the Roosters, beating Cronulla by a point

PST

I am a chef, and rarely have cause to wear a button up shirt, so to partake in PST I had to wear a
t-shirt, of which I have plenty. Though it was a bit cheeky not to wear any pants. I took my inspiration from Sydney's Aussielicious and Melbourne's eMack, both jovial posters of such pictures.

Pink Shirt Thursday

It's Thursday, Pink Shirt Thursday, here I am in my finest A+F pink shirt.

Roof Of The Met, Circa Mid May 2007

There is an installation by American Artist Frank Stella

Admission to The met is $20, recommended, but just $1 will get you in. The rooftop gives an awesome view of Central Park, there is a bar and is open till 8:30 on Friday and Saturday nights. All very nice.

New York Bloggers Meet

New York bloggers meet, the schedule is strenuous but can be found here. This timid Midtown blogger hopes to make it to one event at least.

A Trip to the Met

Silver belt buckle, Northern China 3rd -1st century B.C.

They Come in Threes ?

No 1
Jerry Falwell, founder of the Moral Majority, supporter of segregation, blamer of feminists, pagans, abortionists, gays and lesbians for the 9/11 attacks and outer of the purple telly tubby died on May 15 2007. Not a man of compassion, tolerance understanding or love.





No 2
Paul Wolfowitz, former Deputy Secretary of Defense and architect of Iraq war resigns as president of the World Bank on May 17 2007.







And No 3!
Well it's wishful thinking, but this guy's gotta go, he would round out the 3 ever so nicely, Alberto Gonzales, current attorney general, dismisser of U.S. attorneys who wouldn't pursue cases based on his political agenda, one time partner in the law firm that represented Enron, really must resign, he can't just limp on till January 2009......... or maybe he can? Nothing would come as a surprise from the current administration in Washington.

Woeful

Well I guess it was to be expected, another loss, Melbourne Storm 26, Sydney Roosters 2. I think there is a loss coming next week too.

Queensboro Bridge/59st bridge

Manhattan bridges series continues

Contrary Mary

Mary, daughter of Dick is Now selling for $0.06 (used ) , $1.98 will get you a new copy. Who would buy that shit, no one gay after the support she gave to the Bush/Cheney 2004 re-election campaign, which ran a vitriolic attack against gay rights.No one Republican as Mary lives with her female life partner and their child. Guess she bombs out on all fronts, that's why it's only $0.06

American Idol

She was by far the best, though Melinda Doolittle has been voted off American Idol this week leaving Blake and Jordin to battle it out in the final. Jordin's gotta win.

Big Storm

At about 430 today, big grey clouds rolled in from New Jersey way, some rain but not torrential.

SmallPeople

If anyone has any dispute about a midget i hope this can clarify matters

कुएस्शन मार्क्स

blogger is randomly turning letters and whole sentences into question marks. Like dominoes falling a whole passage will suddenly convert to the ? I need to do a copy and paste then click on publish as quick as possible to prevent it from happening.

Awin

Another win for the Sydney City Roosters, Beating league newcomers the Gold Coast Titans

Hurricane Katrina

Found these pictures on a myspace page, they were labeled hurricane Katrina

Huh

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out

Well I guess I better lighten up then

A Trip To Williamsburg

Last Sunday I went, for the first time to a neighbourhood of Brooklyn, Williamsburg. It is only two stops from Union Square on the L train. The L train has the new information screens, which weren't working.
Williamsburg is a very nice neighbourhood, reminded me a little of Brisbane's West End.

some advertising

urban landscape

a very nice green and red building

Walking back to Manhattan across the Williamsburg bridge, The view of Midtown, where I live

A sign with some historical information, and some graffiti
