Lost my voice in New York City
never heard it again after sixty-seven
Now I talk like you
Now I sing like you
Cigarette and coffee to make me sick
Couple of families to make me think
Going to see my lawyer
Going to read my mail
Lost my voice in New York City
Guess you always knew

New fucking York, 2009. That's the last time I was happy. That's a lot of years of not being happy for those keeping up. We ( and by we I mean myself, Colleen , Adam & Jessica ) were on our way to the The Highline when we ran into these busts being junked and we took them and had fun with them all day. I miss my east coast friends tremendously.

Life is such that I will not be able to attend a friend's wedding in New York. NYC, the only place in the world I never feel depressed at.

I took the long way home from NYC and now I'm very tired. I saw this movie and loved it: Soul Kitchen. The 'Andy Warhol: The Last Decade' exhibit is amazing.
And now for a Yazzmin photo, b/c she's wearing a New York shirt ( the Wonder Woman underwear is just a bonus)

"How did you get them?"
"Museum Heist" was one of our answers.
People's puzzled looks never ceased to amuse us. You'd think New Yorkers have seen it all but we got a lot of people to engage us in conversation because of these statues. Doc Brown certainly enjoyed taking David all over the place.
I can't sleep and I just watched a dumb movie filmed in NYC which made me miss you, brunch, walks on the Upper East Side at night, Museums, The Park, Duane Reed runs for random stuff, Coffee shops, your laughter, waiting for play tickets, dancing at night, eating late, trying to sleep when they pick up the trash, and every time I've visited rushed completely into one sleepless blink. So I found a picture I took from my first visit, just to make my Hyperthymesia last a little longer.

//The Kills: What New York used to be
Dawn in New York has
four columns of mire
and a hurricane of black pigeons
splashing in the putrid waters.Dawn in New York groans
on enormous fire escapes
searching between the angles
for spikenards of drafted anguish.Dawn arrives and no one receives it in his mouth
because morning and hope are impossible there:
sometimes the furious swarming coins
penetrate like drills and devour abandoned children.Those that go out early know in their bones
there will be no paradise or loves that bloom and die:
they know they will be mired in numbers and laws,
in mindless games, in fruitless labors.The light is buried under chains and noises
in an impudent challenge to rootless science.
And crowds stagger sleeplessly through the boroughs
as if they had just escaped a shipwreck of blood.
"A Poet in New York" by Federico Garcia Lorca
//The Magnetic Fields: The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side
Away for a few days. You know where.
One need never leave the confines of New York to get all the greenery one wishes--I can't even enjoy a blade of grass unless I know there's a subway handy, or a record store or some other sign that people do not totally regret life.

In remembrance of subway misadventures and being with my favorite Brooklyn girl last week. The less said about being out and about during the "Valentine's Day Winter Storm" and a terrible airport experience thanks to Jet Blue, the better.
One of the absolute favorite parts of my New York City trip was going the the MoMA. The exhibit I liked the most was "Douglas Gordon: Timeline". Especially "Play Dead; Real Time" which looked like this:
+ I had no idea chances were high that I would hear a Texas band ( The Toadies ) at MisShapes.
+ "Mother Courage and Her Children" was pretty good.
Time for a little east coast vacation.........
