Day 97: 6.18.2009

My Apartment Building

For once the inner courtyard door was open and I was able to peer up towards our top-floor kitchen window. It think they only open it when the elevator breaks down: it's the only other way into the basement.

View south from 130th St. Pier

That's Riverside Church in the distance again. The sky has stayed about that color since I moved here, with a few exceptions.

Randall's Island in the East River

We went on a class field trip for Ecology to see the Wetland Restoration Project on Randall's Island and we're old enough to not need permission slips, just to pay tuition at Columbia.

Day 90: 6.11.2009

My Apartment

Those two and their other friend were straight from Maine that day. Well, they got stuck in traffic on the way in, but there were worse things in life. Like the part where I dipped them in butter. Yum.

Friend (five minutes before she and her boyfriend arrive): Oh, do you have a really big pot?

Me: Well, I mean, yeah. How big? It wasn't big enough by any stretch, but we got creative. Most entertaining lobster-bake ever seen, said the Lobsterman boyfriend.

Jim-Jim and Me

How could I not post this one, too? He wouldn't have made a good hamburger, don't worry.

Daily Snap: Jim-Jim

Day 85: 6.6.2009Idlewild Park, Queens, NYC

That's Jim-Jim. The guy holding him is a local resident and kids' soccer coach who found Jim-Jim on the synthetic turf field that morning. They were keeping him in a tub next to the snack stand, but said they'd let him go later that day. We've got an Ecology Restoration Project and my group is focusing on migratory birds in Idlewild (next to JFK Airport), hence the visit.
