  1. Why didn't anyone walk to the east side river park? I visited there for a couple of hours via the overpass on E6th and through the walkway against the river. Not many people were out. The views were spectacular.

  2. prick your finger
    it is done
    the moon has now eclipsed the sun
    the angel has spread its wings
    the time has come for bitter things

  4. Scuba Diva,

    When asked why I wasn't outside this afternoon I merely said that having already experienced a total eclipse of the heart I couldn't bear to undergo one of the sun.

    Also, "So what? There's a little black spot on the sun today. Same old thing as yesterday."

  5. Am I the only person in NYC if not on the entire East Coast who didn't give a fuck about the solar eclipse?

    Let's put on special glasses to look up at the moon blocking the sun. Whatever. I saw it on tv.

    Can someone create a Trump eclipse?

  6. Our president looked up at the eclipse, twice, from the balcony of the White House and then announced that he was sending more troops to fight the war on terror in Afghanistan, but mostly to rid the lucrative mountains of rare earth minerals for the next upgrades of samsung and apple phones of the Taliban and ISIS splinter groups

    Not east village or NYC related, but I thought it should be mentioned.
