I woke up this morning and just wasn’t myself – whatever that means. Emerging from my makeshift bed fort of pillows felt like an out-of-body experience. Tripping over a half-packed suitcase – well, that was nothing new to me. It wasn’t the fact that the chain-smoking couple next door was using my patio as their ashtray, and it certainly wasn’t a case of the illusive vodka-induced hangover. It was just one of those moments when I couldn’t connect the dots – kind of like when you flip …

For those who don’t know, I have been working part-time the past few months with New York-based digital and social media consultancy L2 ThinkTank.

Let’s face it. The days of Sheep’s Meadow sunbathing are over – it’s already bone chilling cold up here in New York City. So if you’re looking for a warm (and weird) diversion, head over to the Guggenheim for a historic event. From September 18, 2009 to January 13, 2010, the museum is featuring a full-scale retrospective of the Russian visionary artist, Vasily Kandinsky.
