Random 2007 pics...

After a fairly mediocre Thanksgiving with the family, I'm back in my tiny Upper West Side studio and doing a bunch of miscellaneous tasks.

I also saw some photos in my camera phone from this past year, so I'm posting them too (again, in no particular order).

This photo actually should've been part of my 2006 review... This is of Grand Central at Christmastime!

I took off from work on my 25th birthday and decided to sunbathe on the rocks in Central Park. Here's a picture of the Park's south view. It was really a glorious day...

I was at this charity event at the Hard Rock Cafe in April. Here's a picture of the Edge (from U2) giving a guitar to the cafe (this event was meant to raise money for musicians in New Orleans-- i.e. those affected by Hurricane Katrina):

And here's a pic that I snuck of the Edge, as he was near me. In my usual bashful fashion, I couldn't speak to him directly.

For some reason, we had a rainbow bagel during this one office breakfast. Of course, I had to take a photo of it!

I found the graffiti additions to this sign (in the subway tunnels) to be very funny (Juliet's forehead says "HAG"):

I found this upside down sign to be funny too. It says "keep left"-- but the arrow's actually pointing right!!

I saw a teddy bear on a random cafe table in San Francisco. I think some poor kid must've forgotten to take it as the family left the cafe...

My friend wrote a poem about this:

Poor Teddy

He had been abandoned

In the middle of the golden city

All by his lonesome

The recipient of neither love nor pity.

And all the passers-by

Walked around him, without commotion

A few took pictures

While exhibiting no emotion.

Teddy now lay motionless

His family had bid him a permanent adieu

His will to survive had left him

As no longer was he of value.

Here's a photo of a pagoda I saw in Japantown, San Francisco:

One day, it rained so much that my office parking lot (and surrounding landscape) flooded, with our lake overflowing:

Here's a doe, I saw in our office parking lot one day:

And I saw this cool door in the Village one day:
