I went to a brunch at Kefi in the UWS on Sunday to say goodbye to a friend who returned to Europe. It was very good and the record is coming soon. But what I wanted to show you today is the beautiful (I threw the flowers alone) pictures I made on the reservoir in Central Park to go to the UWS. You will notice the beautiful rainbow in the sky due to a water jet (Why do it??) In the middle of the tank, but the remains of ice floating on it.
Decidedly, I should come more often to Central Park!
I planned to comment on the Oscars you live (that is typing at the same time I looked) but my computer decided to fool around after only 30 minutes of show and my keys walk 1 time 2. So I had to give up but I was full of good will! That is what I write before it becomes impossible
So tonight is the Oscars and I'll try to give my impression as and as I look! We'll see if I can ... It begins. I really like the first "movie" prepared by Anne Hathaway and James Franco who "travel" in each of the films nominated for best film. In particular, the dance of "brown duck" Anne and James Franco in pantyhose! Their speech of entry was so much fun with the grandmother of James Franco, who said: "I just saw Marky Mark" in a very suggestive way.

5 / 9. Small medium! Hoping that my computer working again properly so I can tell you about the dresses on the red carpet!
we enjoy our last major marathon to start the program "plumbing-electrical-wall", we spent the 2 / 3 of the floor and floor ducts (electrical outlets and lighting), and have mounted a number of panels fermacell we also selected and ordered the tile floor of
walls of rooms 3 and 4 partition separating the chambers 1 and 2, we left the waiting party will be accommodated where plenums insufflation of vmc (still not received ...)
a view of the stage: finally we manage a toilet (right in photo) and a small bathroom (left) equipped with a shower tray and sink for taking the time to make a "great" room bathroom on the floor ... and have enough to wash in 2 months! and also to organize future toilets inside and outside (composteur. ..)
tip of construction: a stool, a roll of brake-power card, and go!
big thank you to our "coach electricity" Franck; pass ducts is easy, but the plug is a profession ...
it starts to turn the world on the floor! strongly that all this disappears in the insulation ...
and a big thank you to Emily and Frantz for taking children on holiday and this photo wide angle
one that goes to the aperoblog and shows you a picture
I still wanted to thank the organizers of the evening aperoblog which was a resounding success! Between bloggers and readers, we achieve the good of 20/25 people. I was able to get to know new faces and it is always nice. Unfortunately, I could not talk with everyone but I'll catch up next time. In fact, hope that the next edition will be as successful!
I also wanted to show you a great photo taken by a friend of mine in 2008 in Hawaii:
It not torn? This is madness! A volcanic eruption and two tornadoes that occur. Do not ask me how he did it to take this picture, I still do not understand! This photo also won the second prize of the photo in a scientific photography competition.
She was taken to 19 km east of the volcano Kilauea in Hawaii and the impressive column of smoke is mostly water vapor formed during the meeting of the lava and the ocean. So, it creates warm air currents which in turn lead to the formation of small tornadoes disappearing as fast as they appear. Or so he told me!
is the advantage of having a friend who makes great pictures, not need to copyright ...
* The one that goes to the bloggers apero New York ...
I know, I know I said I was going slow posts but I had some stuff to tell. First, I have everything torn TOEIC score of 965 with a! What! Just because it's been almost 3 years that I'm in NYC that I was sure to have a good score! Well, OK, this helps a bit anyway ... Anyway, if you want to congratulate me, a comment will be perfect or better, if you are in NYC, you can come in the first apero of New York bloggers.
I would most certainly seen my girlfriend Severine an organizer!
In fact, any level "new" but I also wanted to show you some pictures of BSE this weekend while blue / white / red to celebrate the President's day:
Even the Building of the Bank Of America in Bryant Park (foreground) and the Conde Nast Building in Times Square began in patriotic colors:
one that will see Yann Tiersen in concert ... She who seeks
I'm pretty busy these days, so I'll slow the pace of my posts. Do not worry, I'll be back to normal after March 19. And then anyway, I think NYC is the winter when even less interesting. But if! It is so cold even when we least want to go wandering in the discovery of the city. The snow is beautiful, the Christmas decorations too, but after ... I hate winter! Roll on spring and the summer heat!
In addition, here, winter is completely blemish: Friday, 19 degrees celsius, so long, I would walk in shirt! Saturday: -15 degrees and a wind felt dehorned steers! And today, we had snow again. I lose my Latin! It changes everything, a Gulfstream, is not to say! In any case, it protects the metropolis of dramatic changes in temperatures!
Finally, despite the cold and wind, I brave the elements and I went out Saturday night! He had to, I won tickets for the concert at Highline Ballroom Yann Tiersen!
Ooh! The lucky! Yeah except I thought I had a place and I got pointed to herself. And a concert alone, even when it's less fun. But surprise, when I get over there, the guy at the entrance said that I have two tickets to my name! Quickly, I textote * C.'s my cop, who once L train is presented by my side!
Yann Tiersen, for me Like most of you, it is primarily this:
Amelie Poulain of course. But also for the soundtrack of Good Bye Lenin:
But I had listened all week on his website, his new album Dust Lane, I thought I knew what to expect ... And I thought that this kind of music is especially good to listen quietly at home. Although naive I was! For Tiersen concert was really amazed! This is not the best concert that I went (can not exceed Gossip) but honestly, it was not bad at all! In my top 5 slaps unexpected! I was expecting to see a concert but not pepere everything!
Apparently, I might have guessed, since his concert at the Rock Road this summer has been the event of the festival. The room was packed and my surprise very little french but especially Americans, Spaniards, Mexicans, a real melting pot New York.
And I was also surprised by the turn taken by the music of Yann Tiersen, much more electronic and for once, electronics is now truly at the service of the melody (no, I do not like electronic music ), much less nostalgic gnognotte (even though I love the nostalgic gnognotte, eh! Do not make me say what I board not told). Ropes, who made his fame, always in the spotlight this album but there are added guitars, old synths, drums, ... It's much more raw kind of music, although still research, more rock I'd say.
I'm not at all critical of my music and too little knowledge of the groups did not allow me to make appropriate comparisons, but I think has some very large groups at certain times. I will not name them otherwise it would be an outcry in my comments (especially by Mr. Jack) but I really did think during the concert (well just for the melodies by to see if particular by ...).
Other critics have spoken of Pink Floyd, particularly Dark Stuff:
Finally, we do not deny Amelie anyway ...
There is a song with the explicit title, Fuck Me
It also has a song on Palestine:
Finally, you have understood, is an album that I highly recommend!
Finally, I would say that the Highline Ballroom is a great room and the Chicken wings tear! Though spicy, it's delicious. Oh yeah, we stay in the U.S. is still normal to eat during a concert ...
On some tickets, you can find a small green sign and red
"Track this bill"
So I went on the website Where's George? (Named for George Washington that graces the $ 1 bill) to follow the trajectory of my ticket. Unfortunately, mine did not have a long history. It is on this kind of page that we fall:
It has been recorded for the first time Dec. 29 in Midtown West and was traveling about 1.5 miles in 47 days. Finally, officially, because I think that given his condition, he made a slightly more trips than that. Someone told me that the life span of a $ 1 bill was 2 months and saw what state he's after 1 month and a half, it does not surprise me that this is true!
Today I'll tell you about a bar in which I went a few months ago. It is a favorite bars of some friends who took me there and this bar, PJ Clarke's * is an institution.
Why am I talking about today? Because we only saw him in the new series, Mad Love, I watched last night (not bad, I expect to see more episodes to make me a real opinion). This series may be turned to (I do not know nothing) but in any case the exterior are Shot in NYC. And for the bar or the main characters find themselves, they used the outside of PJ Clarke's.
By cons inside is absolutely not true-like bar. Although it is clear they do not use the real bar for interior scenes, I would have liked at least inspire them!
Finally ...
This bar is actually a saloon, which opened in 1884 and held until now in the midst of the skyscrapers of midtown thanks to a 99-year lease.
The most famous clients are:
Frank Sinatra was very generous in tips and was the "owner" of table 20 because he ended nearly all his trips to NYC.
Buddy Holly has asked his girlfriend to marry him at PJ Clarke's Jackie Kennedy Onassis
came to lunch with John John's on Saturday
Nat King Cole, Ernest Borgnine, Richard Harris, Joan Crawford ...
He also appeared in many series and movies (besides Mad Love), as Highlander, The Lost Weekend (Billy Wilder), in Coyote Ugly, coyotes play baseball against the bartenders of PJ Clarke's . It is also one of the bars or the "Mad Men" have their ways. And just for that, it's a place to visit ...
Faced with so much success, others have open PJ Clarke's everywhere. There are now 4 in NYC, DC 2, 2 in Las Vegas and one in Sao Paulo. But the real, the original is at the corner of 3rd Avenue and 55th Street.
* Yes, Little Frog, is one of the bars where we went together.
Good and we forget that when you read this message, we will already February 15, thank you. At the same time, I could not get it before today: BSE has taken its beautiful colors Red / Pink / White for the occasion:
is boring when there is single or that the cops were not his V-Day with you but hey, it could be nice too ... Especially here, it does not go unnoticed Valentine's Day, we prepared for the January 1 when the "good years" and other Christmas decorations disappear and be replaced by hearts, plump little cherubs and flowers everywhere. And television commercials speak only as of the AC series tv this week.
We had a Valentine's day party last week in my institute and it was entitled to the heart-shaped chocolates, roses with small cards Sponge Bob (I ais forgotten in my office so I can not show them to you), small heart-shaped candy with a message above:
the work of installing the vmc continues, we realized a hole in the straw to install the vent pipe from the exhaust air, and the whole is carefully taped to ensure airtightness
network of blowing and extraction is almost finished (rest rooms 3 and 4 and the power of stay (but that corner is a storehouse for the floor ...); the wooden cross is the cons-batten to be fixed perpendicular to the joists, which will go to the joists and floor- above the ducts and electrical conduits vmc (sense?)
plenum and exhaust ducts of the kitchen: it is above ...
mouth extraction fixed on the ceiling: it is below ...
Decidedly, I should come more often to Central Park!
