bearshortyToday was cold. Very very cold. And since I was outside a lot I really felt the cold. And I was all bundled up too in my furry coat. At one point while sitting at the restaurant for brunch my feet just felt icy. The sky was blue and there was snow on the ground and it was such a January day, but it was cold.
I left the house at 11:15 and I did not get back home until 6:30. It was a really good day since I got to be social and hang out with Marianna and Janna.
I met with Marianna at 1pm to go to the “A Stitch in Jewish Time: Provocative Textiles” exhibition at Hebrew Union College near Washington Square. It was really interesting and much larger than I thought it would be. And it was free, which is a bonus. I learned that according to Talmud, an angel teaches it to a baby in the womb and then makes them forget so that learning is just recovering information. Some of the wall hangings were very original. A crocheted seder plate was my favorite piece, I think.
Then we walked around a bit before meeting Janna to go to brunch in West Village. It was cold but it was nice to just walk and talk.
Brunch was very good – I got this duck confit with butternut squash and sunny side up eggs and then we shared chocolate banana bread pudding which was amazing.
It takes me a long time to get to the city, but it is really worth it to just hang out with some of my closest friends.
In the evening, I finished up and polished my Mesopotamia lecture and PowerPoint for the tomorrow. Google image is a great thing – you can find anything there.
Bear posted his new Joker animation on YouTube. This kind of humor is not my kind of humor, I don’t find the content that funny, but it is very Joker kind of humor and I just enjoy his animation.
