Wow, a new Blog. It's been a while! Firstly, thanks so much to Sauda for making 2 new default pics for me. They both come from the set I am about to submit, which I really like, so fingers crossed for that.
NYC was amazing. I love the place it is like London but loads better. It is a lot cleaner and less polluted for one thing (I could actually see stars in the sky) but I really liked the way that things seem to work a lot better, if that makes sense. The streets are wider, so there is much less of a traffic issue (Londons traffic jams and the never-ending road-works are a major bug-bear for me, right now), the pavements are wider so you can actually walk down the street without constantly bumping into people, and the city seems a lot easier to navigate. I always thought that New Yorkers were a stressed-out neurotic bunch (see Woody Allen) but compared to Londoners, they seem really peaceful and happy. The city seems sane somehow.
Here are some obligatory goofy holiday snaps. My Geek Pie hair-do is visible throughout.
He stayed at a really lovely hotel on the Lower East Side. Here I am holding up a copy of the (not so lovely) New York Post hostage-stylee in our room.
The restaurant in the hotel was also gorgeous. I often find the decor of places like hotels really cheesy, but I thought this was really chic. I love the wallpaper and black chandelier. You can just make me out in the corner of the photo (looking like a stroppy cow)
Our nearest subway station was Delancy St. Here I am taking a last desperate pull on a Parliament before descending into it.
The subway confused me somewhat. I didn't like the names of the lines, they are all named after letters, rather than words. I like the poetry of The London Underground. I can remember names like "The Northern Line" way better than "The F Train", this is probably the only thing I think London does better than NYC.
I enjoyed visiting MoMA, because I work in an art gallery myself.
and took a lot of photos, my favourite being this one of my boyfriend.
People kept asking him about his glasses, and one guy told us we looked like "Bonnie and Clyde" which I thought was really cool.
I saw this poster near Radio City Music Hall and pissed myself laughing at it. I am such a massive Alan Partridge Fan
We did loads of cheesy tourist stuff, stuff I mock holiday-makers in London for doing, like visiting Liberty Island
and going up the Rockefeller Building. They had this light installation in there, in which coloured lights follow you around the room. This was a lot more fun than you would imagine!
I did loads of other things, but I don't want to bore you all (even more than I already have) so I will finish up now. I want to go back to The US as soon as possible (now I know they will definatelly let me in the country!) I want to check out the West Coast next time. I have always thought I would like LA.
