Hi I'm Nozlee!! I like making things and taking the subway. My least favorite foods are celery and olives, yuck!

This is my website all about me!!

I didn't get my cast off. :( Instead I got crutches! Today we went all the way to JFK to see the terminal that Eero Saarinen designed, and getting there went like this:

• Leave our apartment, walk with crutches to the corner.
• Hail a cab to the subway (about a 5-minute walk under normal circumstances).
• Carefully walk up stairs to the platform, sit on train for an hour or so.
• Exit train, take two escalators up, walk with crutches to the Airtrain.
• Take Airtrain 1 stop.
• Walk with crutches to elevator, then to shuttle bus.
• Shuttle bus to Terminal 5, walk with crutches inside, IMMEDIATELY PLOP DOWN ON THE NEAREST AIRPORT-PROVIDED WHEELCHAIR.

Whew! Then it turned out that the Saarinen terminal itself was only accessible via a further staircase; everyone was very nice and tried very hard to figure out how to get me there, but in the end I climbed the stairs and J carried the wheelchair. It was very beautiful and worth the trip!

Then the event ended and we went home via the same steps but backwards, except that this time I was very grumpy and tired and sweaty and stopped every few steps to complain, about which J was very patient.

One unexpected aspect of using crutches is that I can't carry a totebag! Today I wore a backpack and it was kind of fun, maybe I will keep wearing it even when I get better.

Dinner today was aloo gobi with naan, and then for dessert we made chocolate chip cookies but with peanut M&Ms instead of chocolate chips.

Here are some things about which I feel very positively!

1. Today I am wearing a dress that my partner borrowed last weekend to wear to a party; he sat for a while next to a firepit and now it smells pleasantly of smoke.
2. I went back to yoga today for the first time since injuring my foot while dancing at XOXO. (It is still in a cast until tomorrow.)
3. I just found this tumblr featuring animated gifs of a video game about bread and it reminded me fondly of the terrible graphics I made for the Computer Graphics course I took in college, failed, and then took again. (I got a C the second time.)
4. Dinner is going to be dal and a salad of escarole, lemon, and avocado.
