well, I've had an interest in space since I was three, so that's 13 years that I've been committed to going into the field, somehow I don't think a single lecturer is going to stop me.

Just wait til you find a lecturer like mine.
Then you'll be sorry

Well, collage is closed today because of lots of snow (if it had been up to them, they would have stayed open; SUNY said otherwise). So, now I am bored.

no, but I'd love to go there when i have the chance. Given, i prefer figurative art, but this is just as interesting, perhaps even more interesting as I can't quite grasp it.

I went to the MOMA on a class trip last year. I found it quite engrossing, although some of the stuff was a bit mind-bending.

Technically, I live there, and colloquially, I'm but a ferry ride from "The City" (Manhattan)
I've been to the Statue of Liberty, a good number of the museums (not MOMA, though) and the Hayden Planetarium, as well as the Christmas show at Radio City Music Hall as a class trip some time ago and a Broadway play as part of my orientation week at Stevens Institute of Technology (located in Hoboken, NJ - across the Hudson from Manhattan - that was in 2000). I visited the concourse and underground mall at the WTC via subway before it got all blowed up back in '01 (naturally, there was a hefty subway presence down there) but never inside any of the above-ground towers. I've seen the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center (though not when lit at night) and the skating rink they have in front of it. Then, there's the Bronx Zoo and the Coney Island Aquarium (as well as the Cyclone - the famous wooden coaster one of the Coney Island amusement parks) which I've all been to (or on). Finally, I've been inside St. Patrick's Cathedral (not for a mass, just a quick look. There was a lot of incense and it was really big)

Ah, the cultural capital of America. I've been the the Sature of Liberty/Ellis Island (I had ancestors come through there,) the MOMA, the Guggenheim, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, countless Broadway shows, lots of concerts and sporting events at Madison Square Garden, a good handful of concerts downtown (CBGB, the old Roxy, etc., by the Bowery,) and St. Patrick's Cathedral - every time we're in the city, my wife goes in to light a votive; plus all the street fairs, etc., in Greenwich Village and Little Italy (Festival of San Gennaro + Canal St. = some of the greatest food ever.)

I got's me a yet another new phone. I dont like touch screen or Flip phones, So i went sliding instead. I've always been a Sony Ericsson man, so this screamed for me to buy it, the W595. I listen to music via phones alot so i needed a good walkman phone. The only downside is that the camera isn't as good as the Nokia i had.

Double!
Or, as the Kop would have it:
Fuck off Chelsea FC
You ain't got no history
Five European Cups, and eighteen Leagues
THATS WHAT WE CALL HISTORY!
