Things purchased on my jaunt to the city yesterday --

1. One exhibition book from the Richard Avedon retrospective at the Met. Richard Avedon: Portraits. I really like the dark naturalism of his photos. It was a great exhibit.

A quick aside - why is it that people who buy the audio guides at art exhibitions become blindly wandering weapons? Apparently you put those on and you lose control of your bodily movement.

2. One Mojo Magazine.

3. Three New York photographs from the gaggle of people hawking their artistic wares in front of the Met. My place is decorated with NYC photos. Only the good ones, mind you.

4. One used copy of Martin Amis' Koba The Dread.

5. One slice of pizza from Two Boots (mushroom, no cheese).
