entry into sunnyside yard

I found an entrance into the yard at the Queens blvd crossing, the one that leads out of the Queensboro bridge. I couldn't really get any successful photos though, this one of the entrance is probably more interesting.

On another note, I've been listening to this Ceremony cover by Radiohead. For those who aren't familiar with it, Ceremony was originally a Joy Division song, performed only a few times live before lead singer Ian Curtis committed suicide. I don't think it was ever studio recorded by Joy Division. It was later recorded and released by New Order (the surviving members of Joy Division +1). I always liked this song - even without knowing its history, you can tell that the song didn't really belong to New Order. It's got a very different feel from the rest of New Order.

not long now...

My immigration file has been sent to the French consulate here in NY. I'll soon be able to pick up my long-stay visa. I'm not sure whether I have to wait for the file to arrive before I make the appointment but in either case I expect to have the visa in a few weeks.

always need to look this one up

I doubt I'll ever remember how to spell "Guggenheim." Well, maybe after this post. They don't allow photos in the museum, but I managed to sneak this one.
