Day 42 - Bow Wow @ Brooklyn Bridge

Being a hardened student, you become very versatile at keeping your ear to the ground for free events. This has to have been one of the best that I have been to. There was an unlimited amount of FREE Bud Light & Lime, FREE pizza AND a performance by the boy turned older boy... BOW WOW!

 Brooklyn Bridge and an angry looking New York skyline. I think it is angry because it's cross summer is ending (has ended).

It's simple. It's cheap. It's crazy competitive. It's cup flip!

Day 41 - T.G.I.F

Pizza. At work. Enough said.

The scramble
Clearly I didn't like mine...

Day 40 - "Gonna get my geek on"

What I am about to tell you is a serious YOLO moment. I am only here for a year and I thought what the hell, I might as well mix with all types of people. Including Chewbacca impressionists...

If you haven't guessed it already I have bought tickets for ComicCon 2012. Feel the force!

Day 39 - Miniatures

I thought I would mix it up after leaving work today and go home a different way! Daring I know.

On the way back up Lexington Avenue, I walked passed a pet shop enclosing the cutest puppies I have ever seen (apart from Jasper and Dunk, back home of course). It was bitter sweet though, as I felt so sorry that they were cooped up in their pens. So, I thought what the hell and bought the entire litter for a mere $500,000...

Naat! If I had the money, it would have been hard to resist when they are as good looking as this bad lad...

Day 38 - Cloud Speak

I witnessed a new form of communication today. Cloud Speak.

A plane propels through the sky, emitting little puffs of white smoke, resembling words. The planes backside acts as a dot matrix printer, producing artificial clouds in a perfectly blue sky.

Unfortunately when I took the picture, I was too late getting my camera out to see the text in its true form. I am eager to see your suggestions on what you think it says though...

Day 37 - CrossFit Harlem

I've come to the conclusion that I need an outlet. Some place that I can let of some steam after work and Uni.

Enter CrossFit Harlem!

After a recommendation from a colleague I ventured way, way uptown, into deep Harlem and worked out harder than I have done in a long time!

When you walk into the 'cage' at CrossFit Harlem, you are there to graft! No water breaks. No quitting. Just 50 minutes of sweat and personal satisfaction. Perfect !

Day 36 - Central Park Zoo

The perfect way to rid of a hangover is by going to corporate day at Central Park Zoo! Seeing a polar bear in the middle of New York really shows you how diverse this city is!
