a new haven weekend

i had a lovely weekend in new haven, ct. i went to visit a friend from high school who is doing his residency at yale new haven hospital. he had a few days off and convinced me to scive the catholics, mormons, AND young audiences. it was nice to get away and see something new. since my camera is being el stupido, here's a picture from wikipedia of the yale medical library, which is stunning. apparently, the doctor uses the couches in this room to nap in between shifts.



isn't it weird that someone i went to high school with is a doctor? we're old...

promised "shia" pics

here are the promised pics from the office chipmunk fiasco. we named him shia in honor of transformers 2 being filmed in princeton that week. i'll let you put the story together...






the "animal lover"

"don't hurt him...i love chippymonkies" as she barracades her cube. riight...

max brenner...

ignore the boobs and focus on the chocolate. that, my friends, is a picture of heaven...at least i hope.

a delicious 4th

my eating buddies for the day, david, carter, and frankie


the view from the "wonder wheel"


nathan's was AWESOME! we watched people consume more hot dogs than one should ever think about consuming. we rode the "wonder wheel" which, surprisingly, lived up to it's name and was full of wonder. we saw coney island side show freaks that pretty much made my life. we ate hot dogs.



after coney island, we headed back into manhatten to wander around the green market in union square. what we found was beyond all description. click here and prepare to be jealous. pictures forthcoming. (it was so amazing, it deserves it's own post!)

we finished our day of gluteney with a bbq and firework watching on the hudson at carter and frankie's apartment. we then ate dessert...again. if you think i neglected to put on sunscreen, you'd be right. if you think my chest and face are now a sea of blistery red, you'd also be right.

sun burn not withstanding, i'd call 4th of july 2008 a smashing success!
