MOVING ON

I saw this recent posting on "Jobs" section of Craigslist, that reminded me of one paid gigs I've done nearly two years ago. This time based on the ad copied&pasted here, I couldn't qualify, as the ad excludes those who have had their teeth cleaned within the past 5 years. In my case, as usual, I responded to an ad for a gig posted by a Dentist, whose trying to get himself licensed to practice in New York. He's been a practising dentist for many years before. He had to do this through NYU's Dentistry School (I don't really know why, or maybe because the members of the licensing board uses NYU's facilities). My Dentist's Asian who's born and raised in California. He had his wife assisting him during the tedious process of getting his license here in New York. It's nice to see a couple working together in making a sustained go in their livelihood, I told to myself. I had to go back and forth at least 4 times at NYU's Dentistry Schoo...

I was walking with my friend who lives in ABC city in the East Village one weekend. We decided to explore our options on which bus should we take in going to his place; he decided that we walk somewhere in Bleecker Street and in Noho. Without telling me about the idea, he thought I should see a real Pablo Picasso sculpture, and a huge piece at that, which is placed in one of the properties of the NYU, with its dormitory buildings standing close by (if I recall it right) the concrete art piece. As expected, it's really more of an abstract, than anything else. I thought its greyish-colored figure looks cool, where it's located. I'm not sure where exactly is the location of this sculpture now in Manhattan. I read from the metal inscription that it's been donated by some philanthropic individuals, whose names I fail to recall now. I heard from my friend that it's the only sculpture by Picasso that can be seen free in public. He's proud of sharing this fact...
