perigee and apogee
Friday night walking home, I felt that i couldn't escape the moon. Its light always found me snaking among the streets of Brooklyn. And then I realized why. The perigee moon.
Yesterday, I went to the Museum of Modern Art. There was an exhibit on music. A lot of it was the influence of hip hop on art and art on hip hop.
Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express - 1977 - one of the most influential pioneers in electronic music
Sampled byAfrica Bambaataa in Planet Rock 1986 (although in the video they look like the village video of hip hop instead of the grandfather hip hop)
Sampled again in Jay-Z's (always be my) Sunshine - 1997
It was fun to hear how one song sounds so different when mixed in with others.
Graffitti artists (The Fabulous 5) inspired by the downtown art scene (Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup) and then inspiring Keith Haring
and then I went to the Women in Photography exhibit:
These were some of my favorite photos.
And then I went to Ari's and John's for bridge night. We are getting better but still kinda dumb when it comes to bidding. At least we are learning. We had girl scout cookies and chinese take out. And we went to the see the moon. The closest the moon has been to us in a long time and the closest we will be in the time coming.

don't fence me in
i don't have any dynamic photos to share
just wanted to say i can't walk because i exercised too much and now my legs are sooo sore i can't move - i am hobbled - I am fenced in : )
i bought daffodils and tulips to celebrate what i am sure is the imminent debut of spring
i bought toilet paper too - not to celebrate spring though
watching news about the nuclear meltdown in Japan and second earthquake
ugh
taking spanish classes but resenting homework. I am tired - i work a lot - i don't want to conjugate verbs - it is the wrong attitude - i am working on changing it (but not working on the homework : )
these are dispatches from New York - work has been challenging as we are working towards firing a couple of people and that is always poopy. Everyone feels maxxed out too. Been stressful but I am compensating by being really surly and grumpy at work. Well done, Aimee, well done
and this is fun

there is no movement without rhythm...
tomorrow - i will try to find the rhythm that lets me keep moving.
love you all, aimee the grumpy ape

Goathairs are as Goathairs do....
We have an amazing family...everyone from dad to Lynn to my brothers, Reed and Jonathan and my sister, Aimee and my two kiddos, Alessandra and Dylan.
When we get together, we have fun, we share food, laugh so much...it is truly wonderful how well we all get along and how much we appreciate the times we have together. I wish we had more time but I guess that is part of why we treasure this time. However, I know if we saw each other every day, it would still be the same.
I m very lucky!!
