  SUBMISSION: “Tools as Art” - Part of the new exhibitions at the formerly defunct South Street Seaport Museum, reopening this week in New York City.

  A dear friend of mine is heavily involved in orchestrating this reopening.  While I was in NYC over Christmas, I went and volunteered.  I highly recommend going to check out the museum.  It’s going to be so cool!  Not just tools, awesome NYC history and current events exhibits.  The space is beautiful, too.  There’s 19th century graffiti in there you can see!

  In the East Village, Waiting for the Wrecking Ball - NYTimes.com

  East First Street became a crack market. From her fire escape, Ms. Green watched packs of addicts light their pipes, the embers glowing by the dozens and reminding her of fireflies.

  Yet she never felt unsafe. “This was a very benevolent neighborhood,” she said. “It looked bad, but you knew everyone.”

  Notes from Tajikistan II:

  My ability to read Cyrillic improved 1,000% after just one evening of Russian language Karaoke in a basement bar called The Old Britianya [sic].  There were very few other people there and even though I didn’t get over my fear of singing with a microphone (it’s up there with death as far as fears go); I did get over my fear of reading Russian in front of other people.  Win!

  There was one other occupied table, which held very fat men with skinny girls in tiny outfits (as is to be expected).  Dancing ensued; and at one point someone leaned over to me and said: “do you have this word in English? Vulgar?”  

  Zing!
