latte love

I really love the English Breakfast Latte at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.  I wish they had some close to where I live, such a shame I can only indulge when I travel...

happy september!

Hello!  Sorry abt the long pause, was getting tired of waiting for my slow computer to process images and the like.  Finally decided on the macbook pro and it's on its way!  Will be back again soon once it is set up...

I have gone to Central Park numerous times, but recently I went bike riding in Central Park for the first time.  It was a lot of fun, I highly recommend it.  I think you can easily tour the entire park on bike.  On the weekends, they close the road in Central Park to traffic so there is a lot of space for pedestrians, roller bladers, and cyclists to use.  You can rent bikes just around the corner from the park, $20 for 2 hours (10% off if you book online). One thing to note is that there seems to be a flow of traffic for bike riding in the park - if you go the wrong way, be prepared to be extra careful of oncoming traffic!

I could have not imagined more perfect weather to have spent the day outdoors:

There is an area of the park called Strawberry Fields that is dedicated to John Lennon.  It's a very quiet area that seems like a tranquil spot to wind down and get away from the stress of the city:

This is one of my favorite spots in the park, Turtle Pond:

If you look by the duck's bill, you will see one of the many turtles we saw that day.  I love coming to to look for their little heads sticking out of the water as they swim. 

There is a lot more to see in the park so be sure to put this on your 'Things to do in NYC' list!

nature

Sometimes I like to go onto flickr and search for images that catch my mood or move me. I was looking for trees using their explore function. Put in almost any word and you can find the most beautiful of images. I liked this one for its perspective because it made me feel like it expressed how powerful nature can be. I find I like being around nature from time to time, it's so soothing. This image reminded me of my drive this weekend through many tree covered hills...

new look

I have a new banner!  Thanks to Joy for her help in turning one of my images into something cooler than my skills could muster.  I hope to add a few more features and tweak some things in the near future.  Stay tuned...

priorities

The order I want to get the following things:  computer, desk, and blinds.

The order I will have to get the following things:  blinds, desk, and computer.

I really just want to go out and get a new computer, I apparently have maxed out the memory in my current one.  Hence no new photos lately :(.  The blinds must come first though.  The desk next because, well, I need something to put a desktop computer on :).  Here is what I am eyeing:

I will have to do a temporary fix for now and transfer some of my files onto a hard drive that I have but I can't wait to get more RAM.  I will try to post some new pics soon though!

standing rib roast

This picture does not do justice to the meal that was cooked last week:

I had never before heard of standing rib roast, but now it will be hard for me to forget it.  Thank you to the chef of that night! 

if only I could work from my bed

Ellen Degeneres hosts her talk show from a bed because she threw out her back.  She's so quirky and funny, what a way to avoid a sick day.  Read the short article, the details should put a smile on your face.
