Look closely at the newspaper this woman is holding. I think it's a ruse to distract other passengers from the fact that this fish face is taking up an extra seat with her bags. And if anyone tries to ask her to move her things she can say "I m lukin at the nuzpaypr"

Sun, 04/26/2009 - 22:08 — chrisvancilYet another iPhone picture app that I am loving. This one takes several shots in a row and then arranges them either in a filmstrip format (one after another), or in a Warhol-esque fashion (see the pictures attached to this post for an example).
I call this series "Men sitting across from me on the train." Very artsy, no?
Welcome to Brooklyn
Sat, 03/28/2009 - 19:36 — chrisvancil
I've thought about making a trek over to Brooklyn for a few years now, since there's a bus that stops a block from my house and takes 20 minutes to get to Williamsburg. So today I took that bus and damn there are a lot of new buildings in Wiliamsburg that are sitting totally empty. I wonder how much an apartment would cost there. It's kind of a funky neighborhood, with upscale clothing stores and groceries sitting next to gutted brownstones. Saw this poster on one of the latter. I think I'll make another trip soon. It's funny how a place only a few miles away can seem so foreign.

First day of Spring, my ass!
Fri, 03/20/2009 - 12:21 — chrisvancil
It might be hard to make out in this picture, but it's freaking snowing! A good 20 minutes after the official start of Spring this morning the snow starting coming down. Nothing on the news about it, not part of any weather forcast, so you can imagine my surprise when I stepped out of my building this morning. Not that it's really all that unusual, it's just that I'm actually looking forward to milder weather. Damn you Al Roker!!

Turnabout is fair play
Fri, 03/20/2009 - 10:02 — chrisvancil
I've spent a lot of time posting pictures of strangers looking goofy on my site. So, it's only fair that I feature myself once in a while. Here's a pic of me on my trip to Florida at my Aunt Joyce's crib last month, sitting in front of the most delicious desert I've ever eaten. I think I could have finished the whole thing by myself that day. Check out the goofy grin and squinty eyes. I'm ecstatic about digging into that chocolatey goodness in front of me.
These are not the droids you are looking for

Something about hooded figures on the morning commute that tickles me. I know these guys think their look says 'I'm too cool to notice my appearance,' but I'd bet you they spent at least 20 minutes trying on different hoodies while doing the head down, lips tightly pursed pose in the mirror this morning. It takes alot of time to look this dirty.

Stand in the place where you're dumb

Why do stupid people insist of standing at the front of the bus when hal the seats are empty in the back? To make it worse this chick seems to have carefully chosen the narrowest part of the aisleway, and made sure to put on her bulkiest coat and her oversized backpack so as to more effectively block anyone from getting by her. But the final straw in the coffin, I mean the nail that broke the camel's back is that she plays deaf when you politely ask her to move so you can get by. I finally ended up just pile driving her into the wall so I could get by.
