Awaiting for the World to End, Dec ? 2012...

Update 12/31/12

OK, here are a few more pictures I took recently after the snowstorm. Once again, the world didn't end, I guess. Why people believe this nonsense is beyond me. OK, give it time, it'll happen naturally, maybe in a billion years when the sun will begin to behave differently, or that humans will destroy their environment, but this is science as compared to astrology, superstition, and all sorts of other crap humans come up with.

The arc and the holiday tree in Washington Square park.

The weather hasn't been all that bad, so walking around the city is enjoyable, though one must avoid the usual bottlenecks, like Rock Centre, Times Square, etc. I don't think I'll be taking that many pictures of the holiday-decorated city as I've taken tons in the prior years. 

Haven't done much either this season, not yet anyway. I'm looking forward to the break coming up.

I thought this collection of shops in the East Village was interesting. Part of the NYC experience is the variety (and often far out) shops, the different & distinct neighborhoods, and of course the people. Oh, yeah, the food too!

As some people are awaiting the end of the world in a few hours, I'm sort of preparing too, by drinking this:

Actually, I got home just a short while ago, tired and having "homework" up to my chin. It's the end of the semester and it's a very busy time. I'm also trying to finish as much as possible by Sunday, so I don't have to work during Festivus or during the first light of the winter solstice!
