Marvin (Not the Martian)

Marvin Taylor absolutely hates nostalgia. He also happens to work in a library. Surprisingly, this isn’t much of a problem.  Marvin works at Fales Library and The Grey Art Gallery, New York University’s fine arts museum, which is located at 100 Washington Sq. East.

His left foot in a cast, his right in a Converse sneaker, Marvin, 48, stops every few moments as he shuffles around the gallery. Around him are black-and-white pictures, along with a few videos, from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. The Grey Gallery is the nation’s leading archive of art from downtown New York during the '70s and '80s.

Couchsurfers!

I have my first couchsurfers coming tomorrow! They are a young, French couple from Lyon, and I hope they don't mind my small, smoke filled apartment. Here's hoping it goes well.

Here's a link to my couchsurfing profile, if need a place to stay.

Interesting to see where everything intersects:

Hello, My Name Is...

Wolfe.

My life is boring. I hadn't realized this, or at least I remained in denial about it, until I got an assignment to write this blog. Nobody would want to read about me, and so I'm going to do my best to change that. This page will document my efforts to become more interesting.

I guess I should tell a little about my current situation, so you can know at what level of boring I'm starting at and really grasp the difficulty involved in this project.

I'm a male NYU student, turning 22 in a week, majoring in journalism and Middle Eastern studies. I'm a lazy vegan, or conviegan, meaning a vegetarian who avoids eggs and dairy when it's convenient (I can't pass up a blueberry pancake now and then.)
