The only reason to leave NY

paperhaus July 24th, 2006

The Jet Blue terminal at JFK. After an hour-long subway ride, I am now sitting:

on a stool
at a sushi counter
with an icy martini
and free wifi

Possibly my best airport experience ever. Of course, it does mean — sigh — I’m leaving New York.

Way out west

From LA to Austin and back again. En route, currently in Alamagordo, NM. I hate myself for saying this, but I wish they had a Starbucks — those guys are giving away free coffee today nationwide from 10-noon. Click on the pic for lots o’ photos.

The road to El Dorado

You can stop at Eden, but then you’ll never get to El Dorado.

More roadtrip updates when I have better wifi. I tend to take pictures of animals (who doesn’t pull over for buffalo?) and think about how little I remember of the VS Naipaul books I’ve read. In other words, SXSW is behind me, and the vast lands of West Texas are ahead. There’s no NPR out here, people. And the wifi is run by hamsters — lucky for me, I downloaded the latest Bat Segundo at my last stop.

The worldly Kellogg

My sister just spent several weeks in Vietnam. And Cambodia. In fact, my sister has gone lots of places — luckily, she usually brings a camera. And she’s just relaunched her
photoblog.

In this picture, she’s the blonde.Laurievietnam_1
