Mid- to late week update

Pheeew! Four-day work weeks sure are hard.  It sounds so counterintuitive, but I feel like they are just so hard to take seriously sometimes that you end up not getting enough sleep.  And that can make work harder than a normal five-day week.  Here's some random pics from the week:



 Lovely, lovely sunset over the LES

Walking over the Pulaski bridge to Long Island City.  What a strange occurence that I happened to snap the photo when there was not a single car on the bridge...

Nice view of midtown and the Newtown Creek (yes, the same Newtown Creek that was recently designated a Superfund site)

The terrifying view down the hallway at Mike's studio building.  Doesn't it look empty without the axe murderer?

Mike's studio, and the fantastic work bench he just built.  There's a nice shot of his latest painting on the left.  I call it "Beating Heart."

Portrait of a medium-sized rat hanging out on the Bowery on Tuesday morning.  I saw several smaller rats running ahead of this one, and came upon an old asian man hacking another one to death with a plank of wood in front of the mission.  It was pretty gory, and it made me feel bad for the rat.  I mean, its a public sidewalk - he has the same right as anyone else to walk down it.  Its not like he was invading the guy's home or anything.

Franny and I at Wednesday night happy hour at Cowgirl Seahorse in the seaport.  Very delicious margaritas make for a very vile headache in the morning.

I love this picture - it looks like Heather is really annoyed by Ashley's dancing, but in reality she was just talking to me about a totally unrelated matter.  Her face just happened to be like that when I took it.
