Miscellaneous Bits
Ashes and Snow, an exhibit of photos by Gregory Colbert, seems worth a look. It's being shown in a very cool looking "mobile museum" made of shipping containers. It's at Pier 54 in Chelsea until June. I like this photo of the museum and this one.
Dine In Brooklyn is still on (until 4/22) -- you can get three courses for $19.55 (Dodgers theme) at any of the restaurants on the list. There are a few good Park Slope choices -- Blue Ribbon, Scottadito, Applewood, Stone Park Cafe, Rose Water, Belleville. Might also be nice to hit The River Cafe or Patois.
We saw the Martha Graham Dance Company perform Friday at City Center and it was incredible. We saw three pieces -- Embattled Garden, Deaths and Entrances, and Sketches from Chronicle. Hopefully I'll be motivated to write it up sometime soon but if not -- the last piece was my favorite and my god do those dancers have stamina.
Derek found this for me -- I think this thing might save my life. It's an alarm clock that monitors your sleep cycle (nevermind that you have to wear a thing on your head) and wakes you up at the most gentle moment before your desired wake-up time. I HATE waking up and am a nasty morning person. I don't care if I have to wear a biker helmet to bed, I have to try this once.
A whole bunch of great supermarkets are converging on my neighborhood. I'm a huge fan of Trader Joe's. And Fairway. And Whole Foods. But I will be loyal to the Coop. I think. (Even though their blog is lame.) This is heaven. It's like having MoMA, the Met, the Guggenheim, and the Whitney all move to within 10 blocks of our apartment. Clearly food takes precedence over everything else in my life -- visiting Fairway is like going to church for me -- there's wonderful interesting fresh beautiful food EVERYWHERE! Hallelujah! And the Coop just makes me happy -- I LIKE working my shift because I discover new foods while stocking the shelves. Why my cooking skills aren't better is beyond me with a food obsession like this.
