10 Days....and Resolution is Done

Hats off to people who can maintain a vegan diet. It's really hard avoiding dairy and eggs. At least it is for me. I think my resolution for 2013 is over. I'm tired of checking everything. Ten days is respectable....for me. I think I'm going to modify my 2013 resolution to going vegetarian this year. Or go vegan every other week.

Hopping Around the Garage

So, apparently there was a kangaroo in the Melbourne Airport parking garage. Guess it couldn't find its car!

I love kangaroos! That was what I learned on my trip to Australia. I may be been excited about seeing the koalas but when I get to the zoo, the 'roos stole my heart.

I mean look how cute he (or she, I didn't check) is! They were hopping around, and you could feed them. I admit I spend several dollars on ice cream cones filled with kangaroo food (that the emus also seemed to love.)

NYC Subway Art

There's a lot of art in the New York City subway system, and an app to find them. I've noticed some as I've traveled through out the system. I was in the R/N Prince St. Station when I saw this and thought it was brilliant. It's called "Carrying On" by Janet Zweig and Edward del Rosario.

It just struck me as scenes you would see in the subway. Meta, so to speak.

Just goes to show, there are some surprisingly nice things in the subway!

Swings + Curtain = Interactive Art

Today was the last day of Ann Hamilton's "event of a thread" at the Park Armory.  It's a whimsical, interactive art display involving swings. It was fun! You swing, and the strings attached to the swing move through pulleys and move this big, white, silky curtain.  According to the exhibit information it invites "visitors to connect to the action of each other and the work itself."

This is the type of art I can get into. I don't get the larger meaning, I'll be honest. But I love the beauty of the movement of the curtain, especially when you lay down under it.

The other interesting thing, considering it was an interactive exhibit,  was that no one got beaned by a swing. You had a lot of people and kids running in and around the swings and no one got it. There were close calls, but no collisions.

MP took some pics and vid of the exhibit, as well, that you can view here.
