This weather's killin me!

Wednesday, June 27, 2007

Today was just not my day. The weather caused trouble everywhere. If you didn’t know already, there were power outages all over New York. I been reading Ways of Seeing by John Berger and half way through it I had an incredible urge to go to the Met and be surrounded by gigantic oil paintings. I didn’t want to be inspired by them and had no urge to check out over weight nude women but just wanted to see some nice, old painting so I can relate to what Berger was talking about. 10 minutes after paying my suggested donation and walking up into the room the lights start to flicker. Ironically I was in the south asian wing and was looking at some statues of Shiva. So I’m sitting on a bench surrounded by hindu gods. After 5 minutes of pitch darkness I was contemplating asking the stoned gods for the electricity to come back. But we were escorted out by a rude middle aged man with a flashlight that kept on telling me to put that camera away.






The day doesn’t end there. On my way back to Brooklyn I got on the F and right before church ave it stopped between station for about 30 minutes before it pulled into Church ave and told us to get the fuck out cus the tracks were flooded and the F was no longer in service. Perfect, I got to stand in the rain next to this dudes feet while I got a ride the rest of the way!
