This was a few days back, the telescope was one of the Christmas gifts Nicole and I got them, looks pretty cool

My parents left today, they are headed back home to Spain, so sad. I think we had a great time altogether, best Christmas ever. We will all miss them, particularly Laia!

I took the day off, was very nice. Just had dinner now, watching the People Choice Awards.

Picture taken on during our visit to the MoMA last Friday, Edvard Munch's iconic 1893 painting "The Scream", very cool.

This version, executed in 1895 in pastel on cardboard, was sold for more than US$120 million in 2012, thereby making it the most expensive painting sold at auction.

Tons of errands this morning, dropping off stuff, buying stuff, we ran around the city all morning and part of the afternoon.

Yesterday was quite an eventful day. We rented a zipcar to go to NJ and dine at Longhorn. It was an Audi A3 S, and it ended up breaking down, had to be towed, super lame. Zipcar wasn't helpful and we had to catch a ride with Nicole's dad in the end. We had dinner rather than lunch, at the Rt 17 Longhorn, was delicious as usual

Happy birthday to J.R.R. Tolkien, born on January 3rd 1892.
