I've Got a Camera Tucked Away inside my heart...

My birthday was a lot of fun. I went on a boat tour of the NY harbor and saw all 4 waterfalls that are currently on exhibit by artist Olafur Eliasson. The neat part is this is a temporary exhibit that will only be up until Columbus Day, so I was rather excited that I got to see them. It's like a new door opened up for me.

We also went to Little Italy which was swarmed with people. I love people, but dear god I have never been touched by that many people in my entire life. While Jake had planned to take me to an Italian restaurant, it was just too crowded for my taste so (15 blocks or so later) we found ourselves in the East Village.

I wanted Chinese food (Which is typical) and being that Little Italy is just near Chinatown Jake hassled me about not opting to pipe in about the want for Chinese food until after we had entered the East Village.

We checked out a couple Thai places, but settled on this Mediterranean restaurant on the corner of 7th and 2nd Ave, Virage. I had a spinach linguine and chicken dish while Jake opted for the seafood pasta dish. They both were really good, however it took forever to get our food as one of their stoves had broke.

Anyway, my 24th Birthday was a huge success and I had a wonderful time. Here are a few pictures from the Harbor tour.

In other news, one of Jake's students was selling a car and within the next two days I will be the proud owner of a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse which looks a lot like this (Color and all)



I got it for a steal.

Things are looking decent, I'm still concerned about not getting a job but I am trying to remain positive. We shall see how the story unfolds.
