my danish friends are heading to nyc tomorrow morning on vamoose. they will be there for three nights.
i am not going to even pretend to know anything about the city since i was eight y/o the last time i visited. however, if you know anything/have any tips/suggestions/words of advice to pass on, i would greatlyGREATLYgreatly appreciate it!
they are getting off @ penn station, staying in a hostel (chelsea internaational: http://www.chelseahostel.com/) and are not very vocal in what they want to see (hence why helping them is so hard...)
what i do know:
-they don't seem to be fans of the nightlife or loud places.
-one wants to eat bagels...and pizza.
-they don't like baseball. or hashbrowns.
-they want to see "new york" in general and don't seem to have any specific interest in anything.
-they speak english very well.

I posted this paiting a couple years ago on this journal. Now I am trying to use it for a project for one of my grad school courses.
Only one problem: I can not for the LIFE of me find out who the artist is.
Help? Anyone?

c'mon. don't tell me that is not good. i wish i could show it in class but some of the language is way too inappropriate. it's so cool though because chaucer was really a poet for the average man and i think it's fitting that his work has been translated into this medium.

i need one. digital.
one that you can toss in a purse, take hiking and traveling but will still take a decent picture. aside from the sometimes blurry pictures it would take and the delay in shutter speed (i think that's what it's called...), i really liked my sony cybershot i had for over four years. but i'm willing to try new brands.
any suggestions?

i first heard about the new milk campagin on npr about two weeks ago and wanted to throw up.
so i can't say i'm not happy this happened:

honestly, i love it when consumers speak up and say, "get that shit out of my face." this was so intrusive.

(also...)
i heard talk recently ("talk" being msn.com, i believe) that the us might give the penny the ax due to the production costs rising and the value of the penny decreasing, what have you. and you know what? i'm all for it. get rid of the penny, i say. it's always winds up being that annoying copper coin you find at the bottom or your bag that you can't use in a vending machine anyway.
maybe this is my stint in europe talking. when i first moved, i remarked to a friend that i couldn't believe the smallest coin switzerland had was the five centime. and she remarked back that she was so surprised america bothered to deal with the penny. it makes things so complicated! and you know what? it's true. in switzerland, everything was priced ending in .oo or .o5 it began to make sense.
so, i say get rid of the penny. and while your doing that, trade the dollar bill for a coin. they're doing so much with the new quarters, nickles, ten and twenty dollar bills, it shouldn't be too hard of a transition. there are all sorts of marketing directions it could go in to make it easier. like, have america vote for who should be on the new coin. an artist. an activist. someone besides a politician.
i think it's time.
