Empire State of Mind

New York.

I love this place.

With a few days to spare until classes commence again, I've come to spend a little time with Erik, who is here for work. There's so much to do in this city...

- cycling: 'up state', including a private ride in a police cruiser (don't worry mom)

- concerts: alice in chains concert; it's been a while since I felt like one of the young people at a concert

- museums: tim burton exhibit at the moma. oh momma. oh yeah!

- and 3d movies. It's becoming a habit...and Alice in Wonderland happens to be my favorite story...Erik happens to be my favorite date...Tim Burton happens to be among my favorite movie makers. sooo...how can one go wrong! (that's my 'blue steel' in the picture, erik is trying out normality)

I think that alicia keys is on to something. I love this city.
