The third dvd of “Breaking Bad” arrived in mail today with only one episode. Guess there was a writer’s strike going on back then. We toyed with watching it right away and getting it back the same day’s mail but work got in the way.
Work seems to be getting in the way of NYC trip too. We were planning to take the train down, visit our nephew who’s going to Columbia Law School and then stay with our friend, Duane, in Brooklyn. I called Duane today to tell him it was looking like weren’t going to be able to get away for a few weeks because of work. Ugg.
I had already planned a few art stops. Lynette Yiadom-Boakye has show up in Harlem at the Studio Museum near where our nephew lives. She does portraits of fiction characters and I love the way she paints. Another great paint handler, Luc Tuymans, who just had a retrospective at SFMoMA, has a show of recent paintings at the David Zwirner Gallery in Chelsea and of course once you get down there there is no holding back with the art onslaught.
We’ve been following the “Steve Martin art lecture at the Y” story and read Steve’s letter to the editor in last Sunday’s paper and I was excited to hear Colbert had Steve Martin on his show last night. I might have to buy his book.
