$ 4.75 – what I call 'stadium price'. But I was in New York instead: Shake Shack, Upper West Side. It wasn't even good.
1
Snow! This statue is in the courtyard of the Max Kade Foundation (6 E 87th St, New York).
2
A 5-hour line in a freezing garage, but it was worth it: orchestra seats for Madama Butterfly at the Metropolitan Opera for 20 dollars. <a href='http://www.metoperafamily.org/metopera/varis/index.aspx'>More details here</a>.
3
Half a stuffed focaccia, half a pie: I went to Trader Joe's and bought a garlic-and-herb pizza dough, and used it instead as a base for a pie with carrots, eggplant, green squash, eggs, and as many cheese varieties as I could find in my fridge*.
4
Nick Veasey. <i>Bulldozer</i>. Time Warner Center, Columbus Circle, New York City.
5
Trophy moose head @ Pinetree Lodge, New York. I'd rather have <a href='http://www.perpetualkid.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2630'>these ones</a>.
6
I forgot it!
7
Classical antiquity <del>dies</del> lives again in the Lower East Side, New York (E Houston St & Chrystie St).
8
Snickers' ads are specifically designed for New York trains (dermatologist Dr. Zizmor, for instance). The company's name is not written anywhere.
9
I'm sick, so this pic is the view from my window. For the first time in 16 months, I could see my neighbors (behind the tree).
10
Hopefully, my last day stuck at home.
11
Birds at JFK airport. I'm going to Pasadena, CA!
12
Someone is enjoying 'For the birds' (Pixar short). You probably know this cat: it's amperes's and DefaultArtist's Frank Sinatra!
13
Hugging the biggest tree, and living being, in the world. General Sherman, at Sequoia National Park, California.
14
DefaultArtist spreads the word of ShutterCal in Sequoia National Park. Also, no cocker spaniels allowed.
15
Mel Blanc's gravestone. Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Los Angeles.
16
First contact with the Pacific Ocean! And it was... FREEZING
17
The Grand Canyon, as seen from the airplane window. Breathtaking.
18
'Junk'.

Every afternoon spent at the MoMA is a good afternoon – especially for sculptures and design. This is 'Cries and Whispers' (2003) by Hill Jephson Robb (born 1970). Designed as a 'safe space of security and comfort, both physical and emotional', for the artist's niece, whose mother died of cancer when her baby was seven months old.
21
Paolo Cocco (Italian, born 1980), <i>Blackberry cake</i> (2009). Flour, eggs, sugar, milk, corn oil, blackberries, and stainless steel.
22
David Corcoran, <i>Vac Dog</i> (1987). Welded steel, found object. Chelsea Market, Manhattan. <a href='http://www.davidcorcoran.biz'>Artist's website</a>
23
Eleanora Kupencow, <i>Horsing Around the Arrows of Time</i> (2008). Painted steel. Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, New York. <a href='http://www.eleanorakupencow.com/'>Artist's website</a>

When I came back from California, I found three goldfish in our fish tank (we used to have an empty fish tank in the bathroom).
25
March 30th will be my last day at the American Museum of Natural History. (But this suitcase is <i>not</i> mine. Unfortunately.)
26
One afternoon in Harlem. In New York, it's not unusual to move a building a few blocks further. This is the Hamilton Grange National Memorial.
27
Georg Lober, (American, 1892-1961), 'Hans Christian Andersen' (1956), bronze. Conservatory Lake, Central Park, New York City.
28
Pasta! Penne with sautéed asparagus, melted goat brie, and a bit of parmigiano reggiano. Personal recipe.
29
My last day at the museum. It's sad. But I also accepted a Ph.D. position at CUNY starting next fall, so let's be cheerful. This is a Tchambuli gable mask (wood, cassowary feathers, shell, paint) that Margaret Mead collected in 1933. American Museum of Natural History, New York City.
30
A walk in TriBeCa on the first day of my post-museum life. They dedicated to a skyscraper architect the only building-free spot in the whole neighborhood.
