Two visitors watching the view of Midtown Manhattan as seen from the interior of Phillip Johnson’s office on the top of Seagram Building, September, 1966. 

The view is looking northeast and show the 641 Lexington Avenue Building (Emery Roth & Sons, 1964) on foreground, and the new 47-story The Excelsior Apartments (Philip Birnbaum & Associates, 1965-1967) under construction.

Planets, Pluto, Auriga, Protostar ✨

Planets- If you could go anywhere, where would you go?

Anywhere, or anytime? I’d like to jump into the future and just see how my life turns out in 10-15 years. Am I happy? What career path did I settle on? Did my otp become a thing and are we still together? When’d we defeat trump and how sweet was victory? How delicious is my new fave future food/dessert? Am I rich yet?

Pluto- If you could meet anyone, alive or dead, who would you meet?

As much as I love and wanna say Jake Miller… I’d wanna meet my cousin Mark again. He was murdered when I was 4/5 and so I only have one actual memory of him. (Every time he’d see me he’d chase me around trying to tickle me and I’d always run away bc I’m ticklish af.) So I’d like to put a personality to the face I barely remember.

Auriga- If you had to pick one villain from any media, who would you rather have to face and why?

Well, you didn’t exactly say what kind of villain I’m facing so: The best friend Harry from Marry Me (2010 2-part movie starring Lucy Liu). He was portrayed as the bad guy for “trying to steal Rae from Luke” but he’s rich, hot, has a heart of gold, and would’ve never actually hurt his best friend despite the fact that he really was totally in love with his gf. Put me against that anyday.

But… If I’m giving this a real go… I will face Scar and protect my precious babies. Simba and Mufasa deserved a happy life together!! (I watch Lion King every few weeks so I’m emotional lol it’s time to watch it again)

Protostar- Give a random fact about yourself.  

Ooh, this is an easy one! Okay so I have an occasional like totally random country accent. Like… In my sophomore year of high school, after about a month of not being enrolled in school, I moved to NC bc my mom wanted to be closer to her grandmother. So I lived there for a year maybe less but I was always going back and forth between NC and MD bc my parents have been divorced since I was in 2nd grade. Then right before my birthday the next year we moved back to Maryland. The accent was never there. Then after I graduate high school suddenly my best friend as we’re on the phone mentions my “cute country accent” and I never heard it so of course I call him on his bs. Then the fall semester of college later that year I’m on the phone with him and. I. Hear. It. And I brought it up and then he laughs like “I told you you had a cute country accent.” And that’s the story of how I realized the universe wants me to be country. 

It (the accent) comes out when I least expect it. Like one time I was working at Golden Corral and I went all day (more like months) without it, then a fellow server spoke to me from his side and I replied not noticing the accent and this dude from his section goes “WHAT” lmao bc I’d been talking normally up until then
