Rain of Light
My title, not the artist’s. The artist left it untitled so I thought, what if I call it ”Rain of Light”, isn’t it more fitting? Presumptuous may be, but it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw it illuminating the stairwell, making it an integral part of the museum rather than a solely utilitarian feature. I instantly thanked myself for choosing to take the stairs instead of the lift.

It snowed
And the City woke up in a haze. Dreaming still.
Meanwhile, at street-level, business as usual.
Real life was going on.
With a touch of salt, melting the snow and turning it dark brown with patches of grey.
Just another Saturday in winter in the City.

Games with Names (and four-time Olympic champion and the greatest diver in history, Greg Louganis) under the Triple Bridge Gateway, Port Authority of New York, Hell’s Kitchen.

There can be no X-mas W-out Doctor Who
And the fact that the Doctor landed in New York and joined forces with a brand new superhero in his effort to save Manhattan, made the story all the more poignant.
Also, ”The Return of Doctor Mysterio” marked the return of the universe’s most resilient Doctor on the screens after a full year’s absence, and got us Capaldi-deprived Whovians even more excited about his – eagerly awaited – next adventure.
Viewed on a big screen in AMC Empire 25. Edited to include a link to the current wpc.

Anticipation
There were two lines outside the Carnegie Deli, a longer one for sitting and a short one for take out. None of them moved. And yet, despite the cold, everyone waited patiently in anticipation. I decided to pay my respects to this NYC institution, which is about to close for good at the end of the year, by ordering online.

Too – too
There is a fine line between extravagance and gaudiness.
There can be too much of a good thing. Although Liberace would disagree.
