...try to explain the double-slit experiment and how it showed light behave as either a particle or wave depending on how it's measured and what it might mean about consciousness and matter. Other topics I wanted to ask a skeptical person about included whether or not there's a secret space program that uses a next-generation propulsion-system (rockets, ha!) and whether or not Edward Snowden is a real whistler blower or a limited-hangout to advertise the global panopticon. 2014 off to a rock-solid start!

...and other important things like this sketch for a Halloween "cape" that hides a sneaky disguise on the inside. The wearer can squat down, reach their arms behind and pull the cape apart to reveal a hidden disguise secreted away inside that allows them to pull a garbage bag around and over themselves transforming the wearer into what looks like a giant Hefty bag filled with trash! Then when someone walks by, you can jump up and scream "I'M NOT TRASH!" Urban ghillie suit!

After dinner, I hid away in the bedroom to get some work done! After a few weeks of meeting with Yipit and discuss various projects that I might be able to help with, they hired me to help them define the scope and functionality of their very first mobile app and then help them find an iOS shop to get it built! They were Flux Capacity's very first client (besides Yodle). After I made some flow sketches...

I also found 5 huge boxes of my stuff from college that hadn't been opened since May of 1998 when I deposited them in my parent's basement.

Meredith holds up the final work! Seriously, even if you're not a vegetarian, if you live any where in NYC you should check this place out. It's small and usually pretty crowded, so we usually order take out.

If you're gonna give it a shot, I highly, HIGHLY recommend the following: The Cubano Sandwich, the Buffalo Blue Cheese Burger (I get that shit with bacon on it!) or the Open Face Turkey Sandwich with Cornbread Stuffing. OMFG, soooo good. Every single person that's a non-veg that I told about this place was skeptical and every single one of them came back and apologized for doubting me. Hahah.

After a long day of unpacking, Mer and I decided to treat ourselves with a celebratory dinner at Curly's Vegetarian Lunch, which, in my option, is pretty much one of THE BEST restaurants in the East Village. After we ordered, Mer got busy drawing thanks to the crayons and blank place mats they have on every table. Seriously, even if you're not a vegetarian, you should try this place. It's insanely good. I highly recommend the

Grant's the master of the sensosketch! Check out what he drew to get Catrinel to successfully guess the clue "BRAIN STORM!" Keep in mind, he drew this with his eyes closed! (Yes, we watched him carefully! Because, despite all his talent, NOBODY likes to cheat at Cranium more than Grant.) Hahaha.

Towards the end of the night, I reached into my pocket to get something and realized I was still carrying around the drawing that Grant did of Posh Tony from last month (because every time I was feeling a little down, I'd pull it out and look at it). I got Tony pose with it again to try to gauge the likeness. Hahahaha.

Hahaha. I was hanging out with Grant one night and he was complaining about the fact that I'd become friends with Posh Tony (because apparently I'm only allowed to have ONE British friend with a silly accent). I kept asking Grant why he didn't like Posh and after not being able to verbalize it, he busted out a piece of paper, drew a picture and handed it to me asking "How can you hang out with a guy that looks like...THIS?" Hahahah. I carried it around for weeks and when Posh finally got back into town, I busted it out for a side-by-side comparison! Hahahah. Soooo good. (Don't worry, Posh - it's not just you. Grant's got a long history of being able to draw embarrassingly accurate caricatures of people he knows).

Afterwards, I ended up in a bookstore where I found this amazing book of magazine ads from the 1980s. Check out this fucking AMAZING ad for a clothing store called Chess King. A dragon?

Here's a close up. I don't read Chinese, but the picture shows Stalin, pushing Mao, pushing a Chinese soldier into the fire - so I'm guessing it's saying something like "You don't want to be Stalin's pawn, do you?"
