It's all happening!

New Camera

I asked my friend David if he would get me this Leica M7 Hermes limited edition

camera pricing at, oh about $15k.  He said he would see what he could do:

So yesterday, in the mail, I received an unmarked letter with this:

I thought it was the sweetest surprise.

300

For so long I avoided watching this movie.  I thought I would hate it.  Man, I couldn't have been more wrong about a movie.  It was fucking awesome.  So intense and bloody and and and hottt.

Living Alone

Could be one of the most liberating feelings in the world for most people.  And it is.  Until you get sick.  And then it becomes the lonliest, most pathetic feeling in the world.  Giant Baby Syndrom.  Where all you want is someone to take care of you and bring you soup and orange juice and tuck you into a cocoon to stay warm.  I guess it has been well over a year since I've felt this crummy and man it is not fun.  Not at all. 

MoMA

While visiting the city, I was able to make a stop at the MoMA for the greatly anticipated Tim Burton exhibit.  While no photogrpahy was allowed and I don't have much to share visually, I will say it was definitely worth the brief trip through the mind of one of the most brilliant writers/illustrators today.  Walls were lined with various works dating back to the 70's when he was just a kid in school to his most recent works for major motion films. 

 

Also got to check out Looking at Music: Side 2 which was cool.  

 

The architecure and design was fabulous, as always.  Did not browse the Bauhaus exhibit, ONLY because I just went to an entire Bahuhaus museum during my month stint in Germany.  

 

 Stumbled upon Paul McCarthy's Penis Hat, an intimidating and wretched pirate whose phallic weaponry alludes to warfare and sexual conquest.

Glögg

Also known as 'Mulled Wine', this is a Swedish tradition we make every year during Thanksgiving and Christmas.  A mixture of Burgendy,Brandy, Port and several spices, believe me when I tell you this will keep you warm during subzero weather and knock you off your rocker.  This year we were at my brothers studio apartment in NYC, which made for an interesting round of bumper butts, but didn't stop us from lighting up the old family recipe.  Below is video of the ceremony:
