Funny.

I forgot to relate this anecdote earlier, so here goes:

When I visited The New School, I was walking down the hall with this prof I met with and she took a look at the “Punk rock isn’t just for your boyfriend!” button that I wear on my coat and said, “Oh, if you like punk rock, you might know of my neighbours. I live in a big housing co-op, and well, they don’t live there year round, they actually live in New Hampshire, but they keep an apartment in the city. They’re members of a band called Sonic Youth.”

Yeah. Yeah, that little band. The one called Sonic Youth.

And then she waves at a woman down the hall, and says, “That’s the head of our anthropology deparment.” The head of the anthropology department pulls a goofy face and waves back and I immediately recognize her as the author of a book I had to write a book report on in second year. Surreal.

There’s some NYC pictures up in my Flickr account, in case you care.
