The day just snuck up on me. It also took me awhile to figure out what to do. Since I did the big hearts last year I thought of making heart doilies -- which I'm totally getting into, doilies in general -- Then I found tiny hearts and I got 3 done. oh well, I guess they can just be put as part of my stash and maybe at some point they will show up at your door.<br />
<br />
This semester is a bit more under control. Not much, but a little bit. I'm taking Visual Anthropology, studying the history and styles of documentary/ethnographic films, Linguistics, and Physical Anthropology. I also need to start working on my thesis. oh vey!<br />
<br />
I've been dancing, which helps relieve stress. I will be in a new piece, which we will show in Sept. It's a rope and harness piece which I love working in. Though the company is so broke rehearsal are a little sporadic. We are in the experimental stage and have been video taping so maybe I'll put together some clips so y'all can see. <br />
<br />
A friend came to visit, and we went to the Armory show which was really great. It got some creative juices flowing. She also gave me a hard time about my problem CADD - crochet attention deficit disorder. I have about 6 projects all going at the same time and none finished. So I'm listening to her advice and finishing them one by one. I'm finishing up a sweater, which will be just in time for spring :P oh well.<br />
<br />
Other then that things are good. Daniel is still waiting to hear back from colleges. So our future is still unknown. One day at a time.<br />
<br />
Here's some pics of some finished projects.<br />

The snow has already stopped falling and I think that might be it for a while. Daniel took advantage of it and went out snowboarding on the streets of New York. We live in a hilly area so he went to some paths and did some mellow slow speed snowboarding. He said it was fun. I wish I went with him to take photos, but I am sick with a cold. Not fun.<br />
I have one more week before school starts, and I want to take advantage of it.<br />
<br />
So I realized even though I like the idea of making sweaters and buying yarn to make sweater, I don't like actually making sweaters. I like making afghans and other tiny projects. I don't have the patients to make sweaters.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIz68GypgvSYwj1WPOsUP2Q0ni5yU5SMH6-CxO4pItJjX6_qSHCaHu99xrCQK1WbgbeDrEl_QVus6KDT49mx7QAFFfaY_D0lyUBEXdfzkfAT40PGxABJcBXv91PUT3ENSHoO6Cb4Fu1w/s1600/IMG_0203.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIz68GypgvSYwj1WPOsUP2Q0ni5yU5SMH6-CxO4pItJjX6_qSHCaHu99xrCQK1WbgbeDrEl_QVus6KDT49mx7QAFFfaY_D0lyUBEXdfzkfAT40PGxABJcBXv91PUT3ENSHoO6Cb4Fu1w/s320/IMG_0203.JPG" width="238" /></a></div>The colors look a little different, but that's the afghan I'm working on, which will take me forever to make.<br />

Though even with getting the yarn on sale when I'm done it will be an expensive afghan.<br />
With my holiday crocheting, I missed Halloween because I couldn't make enough skulls (will save them and start to make more for this years Halloween). I couldn't get everyone a snowflake for the New Year, I sent a lot out to family. They take awhile to because you have to starch them. So now Valentine's is coming up again, and since I already did puffy hearts I'll have to figure something else out. <br />
We'll see :)Alissa Kaplan Sotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02562582725644549390noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1607819116579119846.post-58555891987895180302012-01-06T06:22:00.000-08:002012-01-06T06:22:17.665-08:00Happy New Year!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhziiJaw8zud03dkXBjjUWDeHcTateSwNh6_92RFJksA5gXKYSTngPSpesZgo0qxbigUTuXOKc76O1U95qQMNXEvln9tEy3pmjNvd31ownnx1e3e9NhIHzPGgLetkJOHTNFrI4vEyd87w/s1600/IMG_0186.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhziiJaw8zud03dkXBjjUWDeHcTateSwNh6_92RFJksA5gXKYSTngPSpesZgo0qxbigUTuXOKc76O1U95qQMNXEvln9tEy3pmjNvd31ownnx1e3e9NhIHzPGgLetkJOHTNFrI4vEyd87w/s320/IMG_0186.JPG" width="310" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy New Year!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Well my first official semester at Hunter College has finished. It was a lot of work, and kicked my butt, but I did pretty well. Now I have a nice long month off from school, and am looking forward to it. I already have some crochet projects in the works; a hexagon afghan (which will take me a year to make), 2 sweaters, and a cardigan I want to start (Daniel got me baby alpaca yarn when he went to Peru, hehehehe!). And of course my parliament of owls - one flew away but 2 were added.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> This month will not only be about crochet, I actually do have to do some school work. I need to start thinking about my thesis, oy vey! I have so many interests so pin pointing one to write a 100 page paper on is difficult. I've changed my mind a few times already. My latest plan is inspired from a paper I had to write in my Politics of Reproduction class (great class!). It was on Black Market Sperm, yes you read it correctly. So I'm thinking this break I will do some more research on it, as well as expand on the ideas of sperm & egg donation and what that means morally, socially, economically, and genetically. If it keeps my interest it might have the makings of a thesis. I always thought it would be about gender, since that is what I'm interested in so we'll see.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> This month will also be catch up time with everyone. I know over the past few months I've been terrible at emails and calling, sorry. School becomes all consuming. Though there really isn't that much to tell. So here's a bit of catch up:</div><div style="text-align: left;">-All consuming school. Went well.</div><div style="text-align: left;">-Helped Fly-by-Night dance group with their Aerial Festival. I worked back stage, which was a first and kind of fun. I have a new respect for tech & crew. They are the unseen machine that makes a performance run. My friends Ashley and Kiran came out and performed in it. They also stayed at Casa de Soto. The festival went well, and there are already new plans in the works for next year. I might even perform, who knows.</div><div style="text-align: left;">-Visited California which was wonderful and to short. </div><div style="text-align: left;">-Daniel went to Peru for a week to speak at a conference. Brought back beautiful soft grey baby alpaca yarn :)</div><div style="text-align: left;">-My brother got married, and I took the photos. hey maybe it can be a new line of work.</div><div style="text-align: left;">- Daniel is in the process of sending out applications to University's. I think he will hear back from them in May or June. This all makes things a bit up in the air for us about our future. There are a few possibilities so we will have to wait and see how it all plays out.</div><div style="text-align: left;">That's about it.</div><div style="text-align: left;">The weather just started getting really cold here. Time for hibernation.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Well off to eat some oatmeal and do some crocheting :)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Walking through the hallways as students rush to and from classes, the excitement in the air of new possibilities, and potential knowledge.<br />
It made be giddy.<br />
Though the first week consists of professors going over their syllabuses it's still fun. I had Medical Anthropology on Friday. It looks to be an interesting class that will help with writing and critical thinking.<br />
There were threats that classes on Monday would be canceled because of Hurricane Irene but we were not hit that hard. A bit of rain and wind. My parents did loose electricity and am not sure when it will be turned on. Some areas flooded and parts of the electricity were turned off in lower Manhattan. But over all NY seems to have weathered the storm alright. A bunch of trees got knocked down in Brooklyn. But it seems like it could have been worse.Alissa Kaplan Sotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02562582725644549390noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1607819116579119846.post-23472387358535983162011-08-22T06:54:00.000-07:002011-08-22T06:54:27.910-07:00Owls and AliensNew crochet projects.<br />
Love doing these cute little Aliens and playing with color and button combos.<br />
My friend Jessica was in town (had a great time, she stayed at Casa de Soto B&B) and took the 3 aliens as a baby gift for her friends baby. - ooh boohoo now I have to make more :)<br />

Our plan was to go up to Watkins Glen on Saturday and camp till Thursday. But there was a Nascar race there with 200,000 people so the camp grounds were full on Saturday. Typical. So we went up Sunday. My parents let us borrow their car and it was only about a 4.5 hour drive. Upstate NY is really lovely.<br />
There was a rain storm so one night we feared we might have to sleep in the car but the tent held up well. Because of the rains one of the Nascar races was delayed, so while most people left there were still a bunch and we got caught in traffic for an hour trying to get into town.<br />
It was a pretty chill week. We hiked the Watkins Glen gorge (pictures), went swimming in the campgrounds pool, read a lot, rested, hiked some chill trails, drove around Seneca Lake - which has a lot of winery's and is beautiful, ate, had camp fires and relaxed.<br />
It was rejuvenating.<br />
Next time we want to try to get up to Maine and camp around there. Try to take advantage of the east coast.<br />
Now things will amp up. I start school in about a week. I'll be taking Archaeology, Medical Anthropology and Ethnology. There will be a ton of reading and paper writing.<br />
I'm starting to freak out. But am still excited.

Some might think it's strange that I'm not going for art or education. Maybe that will be my next masters. But I've always been interested in anthropology and I figure it's about time I do something about it.<br />
Not sure what I'll do with it when I'm done but I'll worry about that later. I'm pretty excited and nervous. There are so many classes I want to take but this semester I'll take Archeology, Medical anthropology, and Ethnology.<br />
To show my school spirit I got a pair of short with the logo, I didn't like the style t-shirts and it's HOT so I live in the shorts. Well actually as soon as I come home I put them on.<br />
I wouldn't say Hunter is the best school for an MA in anthropology but it's here and relatively inexpensive as far as colleges goes, since it's a state school. And I have met a few professors that I like. It also means that we will be here for 2 more years. Daniel's program ends next summer so we will have to see what that means. He'll be looking for professor jobs and if something amazing comes up he'll have to take or he'll try to get funding to stay on one extra year.<br />
It's crazy to think we have been here for a year now. We celebrated our 1 year anniversary with my parents, brother, and his girlfriend. We went out to dinner and a show. How New York. It was kind of funny celebrating a one year anniversary when we have been together for 10. <br />
Well I have to go shower and head off to work. We're having a field trip to the movies to see Harry Potter (i'm kind of excited, sshhh).Alissa Kaplan Sotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02562582725644549390noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1607819116579119846.post-47737473296863441162011-07-22T11:40:00.000-07:002011-07-22T11:40:27.851-07:00Hot town Summer in the CityIt's 7:15am and it's already 90 degrees. It is suppose to get up to 101 today.<br />
It's been a hot week. Yesterday there was a breeze, but it felt like Satan was blowing his hot stinky breath on me.<br />
So our fans are blowing and we spritz ourselves with a water bottle. Keeps you kind of cool. The fire hydrants our broken open in our neighborhood but I have yet to jump in one.<br />
I will definitely have to try it before the summers over. It's such a New York summer icon. Of course it's illegal to open them but the cops and fire department look the other way. It makes sense though, tensions rise when it gets this hot (anyone see "Do the Right Thing") and it provides relief. Not everyone can afford an air conditioner. <br />
Just got back from work. We took the kids to Ripley's believe it or Not. They had a good time. It's up to 103 degrees, 90 degrees in my apartment.<br />
I'm going to sit in a cool bath with a book.Alissa Kaplan Sotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02562582725644549390noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1607819116579119846.post-51066953312966454062011-06-28T07:43:00.000-07:002011-06-28T07:43:01.642-07:00Summer Solstice<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Daniel and I went out to the Stony Brook area on Long Island for the summer solstice. A guy Daniel works with grew up on this farm on the sound and they have big parties all the time. A bunch of people showed up and camped out, they had bands playing all day and night, we went swimming in the sound. It was fun and nice to get out of the city for awhile. </div><br />

It's not even that hot (80) and it's hot, and it will be getting hotter. I have some sewing projects I'm going to work on to make dresses. It's definitely dress weather.<br />
<br />
Memorial Day weekend was nice. Saturday we went to the Riverside Park, which is right by our house and on the Hudson River. We had a little picnic and read books under a tree. Sunday we went into Brooklyn to Prospect Park. We got off at the stop before so we could walk around and walked right into an Festival. It was some sort of African/Jamaican Festival. Lots of music, booths selling cloths, jewelry and food. We had some really good vegetarian Jamaican jerk tofu stuff. Then we walked down 5th ave, which has all these little shops, cafes and bars. The area has some great architecture and brown stones. We got over to the park and sat on a bench for awhile people watching. Everyone was out. Monday I ran a few errands, Daniel went on a short bike ride. Then we veged on the couch and I did some crocheting.<br />
<br />
My classes at Hunter are over, which is leaving me with a lot of free time I'm not used to. Still haven't heard if I got into Hunter's MA program. The jewelry class I teach is almost over. Next thursday is the last class. I'll start a new job in July. I'll be teaching art at a summer program. I think it's 3rd-5th graders but we'll see. I'll probably do sculpture with them. That will be the month of July and first week of August. I'm glad to find some work. It's been very difficult to find anything.<br />

Daniel and I are going to try to take advantage of the free stuff that goes on in the City this summer. Should be fun.<br />

It went from wearing a down or wool coat to t-shirts but the spring temperature is holding. It's been between low 60's to mid/high 70's. Everything is blooming and budding. Daniel and I went to the Botanical Gardens in the Bronx to check out the orchid show. There were some amazing orchids. The place is really big as well. We were walking around the grounds after, in a wooded area, and saw a fox! Wow! I never expected to see a fox in the middle of the Bronx.<br />
People are also starting to have more parties. I think everyone just hibernates during the winter. At a late lunch party we enjoyed the nice weather on the roof. When you have access to it, the roof becomes your backyard.<br />
I have a few more weeks of teaching my jewelry class, then in July I got a job teaching art at a summer program for 5 weeks. Not sure of the age yet. Or exactly what subject. But its a job.<br />
I was hoping to make it out to Cali in June but waited to long to get tickets and it's to expensive. So maybe in August. But we'll have to see. NYC living is expensive.<br />
Haven't had much time for crocheting with school, which only has two more weeks. Though I did just finish a cardigan, that I started in February. It doesn't have buttons and I can't decide if I should but frog buttons on it. Maybe I'll post it and see what you all think.<br />
It's a little overcast today but Daniel and I are going to go have lunch and walk around the village today. I'll try to take some pictures.<br />

New Yorkers are hard core. It was freezing but people were still out. We bought some hot apple cider. Very Yummy. There was even a booth selling home spun and dyed sheep's wool that was beautiful but I couldn't get my cheap ass to buy $18 a skein, since I would need at least 5-7 to make anything. Maybe when I get really good it will be a treat to myself until then it's cheap acrylic yarn :)<br />

It's aerial dance, opera and politics rolled into one. Crazy I know. The piece is 2 sections one based on Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill and the other is Apollo & Daphne. We are trying to raise money selling reusable bags with the company logo on it at this flea market and so I crocheted some head bands to keep your ears warm. We didn't sell the head bands so I just gave them to the people who helped at the booth. If you want to check out the dance company or buy some bags the website is http://www.flybynightdance.org/ They also do a great program with little kids. <br />

It's kind of bad because it just takes me longer to finish it. I'm working on another cardigan, a sweater and another cowl scarf.

They will be guest slippers. They'll come in handy since the NYC streets are so dirty and now with the snow we take our shoes off in the foyer.<br />
And no the gray doesn't tell right from left i just ran out of yarn, though it could be helpful.<br />
I think I want to try another pair but tweek the pattern. not in love with the pattern <br />

It was loud and getting louder. Then there were bright lights outside. So I thought, ooh. I went to the front room of our apartment that looks out onto our street and there was black smoke billowing from the building across the way. Then there were sparks coming out of the roof. Three firemen climbed the fire escape to the 3rd, 4th and 5th floor and proceeded to bust in the windows with their axes.<br />
Firemen are a crazy breed. They're great but crazy. They run into burning buildings. <br />
I don't believe anyone got hurt but the 3 floors are toast. And some of the other apartments got beat up since the fireman have to come in and toss the place to make sure the fire didn't jump.<br />
It was all very exciting.<br />
I feel bad for the people whose space burned. To think that all your possessions can be gone in a few minutes. But what are these things we surround ourselves with. Would our lives really be devastated for not having it all? Yes we need some cloths, etc... but the rest.<br />
If you only had 30 seconds to grab something from your house that was one fire what would it be?<br />

November was fun. Wendy, Mike, Jeanne and Steve came to visit. We checked out galleries, museums, plays, and restaurants. Wendy and Mike stayed with us for a few days, what is now called </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Casa de Soto B&B. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After they left Mariana and Sean came to visit. So there was more eating and checking out museums.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Daniel left for Mali, Africa on November 28th. It was a bit lonely not having him around but we ichated everyday so it seemed like he was here. He got a lot done there. Got the program up and running for buying electricity. They had wanted him to stay longer but with the storms in Europe they couldn't get him tickets so he came home when he was suppose to. Which is good, a month is long enough. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The week we were suppose to pick him up, New York got hit with a storm too. I was spending the weekend at my parents out on Long Island so I got to shovel their house and help my brother at his place. I guess getting away with not shoveling for 15 years I had some making up to do.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This pic is my brother and his girlfriends place.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxuVsSez1S8v_C0ffuHDctn3eclL63c68X6VsrU8OY6lbXInQnoc6UEKccAN5XSzT6TvOFxujDgxdpc9VqBQ3jPOVWVq9l_k9gG86eRsc_5P-0tMr1IdODfNkGTN0LdPiGktuvPzTAOg/s320/IMG_0032.JPG" width="240" /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I haven't been doing any art. Not sure why. I certainly have the time. I haven't been doing much of anything. Reading, crocheting. I think between missing everyone and the winter I'm in a funk. My dance class will start up again next weekend so hopefully that will help. I'll also be helping the teacher with an up coming performance and being on the board of her dance company. Maybe when I get in better shape I can even perform. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am going to take some anthropology classes this semester as a non matriculated student at Hunter College. I am going to apply there in April for their MA anthropology department. Which means I need to take the GRE. Which I have been studying for. The English part isn't so bad for me but the math..... I'd rather have my teeth pulled out with plyers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Really, I'm not kidding. I basically have to learn everything. Most people just need to review but it's been 20 years. I was such a horrible student and worse at math that I'm learning most of it for the first time. I cry a lot. But Daniel's helping and thank god for youtube. I swear you can find anything on the internet.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> I'm just hoping they don't put to much on the GRE scores. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm not really sure (if i get in) what I'll do with the degree or really why I'm going, I've just always been interested in it. And it gets me excited to think about doing it. Maybe I just need something to pull me out of this funk. I know, going for an MA seems extreme but why not.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, it's snowing out. It started early and is suppose to snow all weekend. I ran out early to go food shopping before it got bad. I did have a bunch of errands to do today but I might have to put them off.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here are some pictures on my way back from shopping at Fairway market. You can't tell but it's snowing.</div><br />

I got a job teaching an after school program 3 days a week at a middle school. The class is an hour long and i'm working with 6th - 8th graders teaching ...... jewelry.<br />
That's right. No i've never taught it but hey they're 11-13 year old. I just need to stay one step ahead of them. And that's what google and youtube are for.<br />
The kids are super sweet and the school is a 15 minute walk from our apartment. It's pretty chill and it pays well. Who knows maybe something more will come of it.<br />
<br />
I also found an aerial dance class. It's in Brooklyn, which is a bit of a trek from my place but it's worth it. I'm enjoying the class and getting my chunky monkey ass in shape again. The style is similar to what i've done. Though not as wonderful as Terry Sendgraff :)<br />
<br />
Winter is coming...... It's getting cold out there and i'm not looking forward to it.<br />
<br />
The city - crowded, dirty, smelly, expensive, falling apart, people don't watch where they're walking, lots to do, expensive, take-out everything, museums, galleries, need to get out more, subways, expensive.Alissa Kaplan Sotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02562582725644549390noreply@blogger.com1
