MoMa

I met up with my cousin Brittany, who is living and doing research in the Bronx this summer, for brunch. We went to this place called 9 Restaurant in midtown, and I got waffles with carmel and fresh fruit. We walked a few avenues over to MoMa and spent the afternoon looking at all of the great art. They have a ton of Picasso's and Van Gogh's "Starry Night"is also there. They had a lot of contemporary exhibits on displays as well, most of which included video instillations I found provocative. We spent a few hours conquering the six floors, before we parted ways. It was great to see her and catch up on everything she has been doing this summer. It sounds like she has had a great experience here so far, and I am so happy for her! I am excited for this week because I think I am finally going to finish the broken links project I have been working on for so long, and a few of my favorite people are coming to the city. Arthur is spending the night on Friday before he goes to Connecticut for lacrosse and Katie and Sarah are going to be here this weekend also. I can't wait to see all of them and do some more fun exploring in the city.

When I was walking home from the train, I couldn't help but obsess over how much I love this city. No matter what it takes, I will live here. Even if I have to have 10 roommates in a studio apartment in Brooklyn, it's happening.

Check out some of the cool art I got to see today:
Andy Warhol 

Vincent Van Gogh
