Since Hannah always has so many visitors in town and i, well, don't (ahem out of town blog readers...), i always enjoy tagging along on their adventures. luckily, today's adventure was one i actually wanted to do myself! we ventured over to the east side, pretty early for a sunday, and climbed up the famous Metropolitan Museum of Art steps, destined for the Alexander McQueen Exhibit on display there this summer. unfortunately photography was prohibited in the exhibit, but in order to get the full experience, you need to see it for yourself anyway! if i had to sum it up in a few words, i'd have to say it was disturbed, tragic, and brilliant. i'll also say this--i was really happy to get back to a happy summer Sunday when we finished.
after my ritzy morning, i felt "New York" inspired. by that, i mean i just went home and did laundry while watching New York movies :) every time i am out and about in this city and it makes me so overly happy that i live here, i like to go home and watch movies that are filmed here in the city. one of my go-to New York movies is "you've got mail." i could seriously watch that movie everyday! i don't even know why! i guess because it shows New York charm at its best and, because it's filmed right here on the upper west side! want to know where that Starbucks is? oh, it's on the corner of my street! the Starbucks i go to! i've sat in the seat that Meg Ryan sat in!
okay, enough with that. my second New York movie was "big daddy." yes, i know, it's definitely on the other end of the spectrum from "you've got mail," but it's a classic!
i finished up my Sunday baking, one of my favorite things to do. i made cookies for the first time in 5 months and actually felt okay doing it in a kitchen the size of a half bathroom! oh, and they were delicious :)
happy sunday fun-day!
