2011

 

This is just a quick quick update on the state of things.  2011 is shaping up to be a terrible year.  Already the worst on record.

My girlfriend of 6+ years broke up with me on New Years Eve, my co-worker tells me oddly enough that more breakups happen on that day than any other day of the year.  Valentines Day is apparently second.

We had been living together for 4+ years.  Our lease ended on the end of January.  She moved to a new place, and I crashed on my friends couch for the month of February.   It was really nice of them to help me out like that.  It was a really intense effort dividing the things during the month of January.  I now have the cat.

The cat, which tends to freak out has had a rough February and March as well.

The hard drive to my laptop died.  200 dollars later I have a new hard drive, but didn’t spend the money to take the data off.  Luckily I backed up things sometime early last year.

I just moved into a new place in Carroll Gardens with a childhood friend and his friend.  3 bedroom.  It’s a pretty great location.  I painted my room, and built some shelves, which I need to continue doing this weekend.  I am excited about this situation.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the Sacramento Kings will be moving to Anaheim, which is terrible news if you’re a engaged Kings fan like myself.  Fucking Anaheim.

I quit facebook, don’t try to find me there.  If you thought I un-friended you, I did, but I also un-friended all of facebook so don’t take it personally.

In March I look forward to seeing Godspeed at that church in Manhattan.   Finishing up the apartment, and drawing some new comic for MoCCA, which is April 9th.  Girl Scout cookies will be available soon.  I need a haircut.  Bitch, bitch, bitch.  That’s all I seem to do these days.

Peace!

QUEENS, Flushing Meadows, Ghost Park

I took a trip to Flushing Meadows on Sunday.  I decided to go there after lunch at the taco garage.  Anyways I biked to Flushing Meadows which was pretty ridiculous, on the way there.  Of course I got lost as soon as I got into Queens.  Nothing makes sense there, 60th Street is next to 60th Place is next to 60th Ave is next to 60th Lane, and all the numbers to that. Some streets with the same number run perpendicular to one another.

Flushing Meadows/Corona Park is the this huge park in Queens.  Shea Stadium, the US Open thing, Queens Museum of Art, some science thing, and remnants of the former worlds fair – which I was especially interested in, are all there.  Good ‘ol Karl brought up the topic of ghosts recently, and Flushing Meadows definitely has the aspects of a ghost world.  The former worlds fair is littered with these really huge megabuildings, which are in a fairly abandoned and dilapidated state.  While around it hundreds of thousands of people are playing in the park, around these hulking monoliths.  They seemed strange to me, very ghostlike in that they are urban voids, you can’t enter them but they consume a really large amount of space, are very sculptural in a 3 dimensional sense, and activity happens everywhere until you reach the threshold of the void.  The structure above commanded most of my attention, there’s some new building attached next to it, but it was closed, maybe if I got there earlier I could have gone in, but all in all the thing is now a birdhouse.  The Mount Olympus for the bird gods of Queens.

A few more pics and thoughts after the cut.

New Job

I got a job.  It’s a junior architect position at Daniel Goldner Architects which is great.  I started Thurday. 

In other news, we’re like 70% moved into our new place.  The last of the move will take place this Saturday.

The cat really likes the new apartment.

Sunday we should be done with everything.  I can’t wait.

hahaha

I had an appointment in midtown on Wed.  Afterward, on my way back home I stopped by Jim Hanley’s Universe to have them hold a Scott Pilgrim for the signing they’re having 2 weeks from now.  The store was packed with people buying the above comic.  It’s an Obama Spiderman comic, I read it, it’s pretty idiotic, but whatever, I guess Marvel needs to sell stuff, Obama on anything probably sells pretty well, and I bought one.  It’s the second printing, which means they’re already done with the first printing, at this rate I bet a third printing will be happening soon too.  If you didn’t know Obama has expressed that he is a Spiderman fan, and that probably got those smart guys at Marvel thinkin’… !!!!  Otherwise I’m quite relived that the change of presidents has finally happened.  Good riddance.

Watched LOST, which was insane. I used to be able to keep up with what was going on sort of.  but now? like… yeah… pretty whack.  

I love it.

Also made some plans for the new loft.  A bedroom needs to be built.  Maybe I’ll post them soon.

new year

I return to New York more or less unemployed and look for work.  In the process of updating my portfolio and resume I made this for my 5th year project, The Vomitorium.  It feels like a really long time ago but I’m pretty pleased with the results.  It sort of cracks me up because it’s a heavily photoshopped image of an analog model that was built to look like a digital model.  I like the aesthetic.  I also posted a not as good night shot, and some other news after the cut.
