i must record this for posterity

My first bona-fide celebrity sighting since I’ve lived in New York! Claire Danes, who came into the restaurant where I was eating dinner with friends, down in SoHo, and sat at the next table with several friends. She looked exactly as you’d expect her to, if you’ve seen a photo of her in the last few years. Her hair was long and kinda scraggly. No photo; there was no way to do it subtly.

now, bursting with culture!

This past Eye Candy Friday, for example, I showed just a few shots I snapped at the MoMA. I went to the MoMA three times in two weeks (twice on lunch-hour “dates” with a friend, once with Jaax), and I now feel I know the museum like the back of my hand. It was fun taking photos of new favorites as well as seeing old standards. I also went to the ballet, an exhibit of crazy lace, and celebrated Chinese New Year—oh, New York!

And we’re back. In truth, lately I’ve been focusing a lot more on photography than on knitting, however I don’t have a ton of eye candy to show for it. But this sunrise, while on my way to the bus, was my own personal eye candy earlier this week.
