<p>G
seriously? I bet you’d hit at least 100.
I must admit that I like "idea"s of the stuff white people wrote.
I hope you’d find the book in library. You can read it in one sitting. all tongue-in-cheek as the one about Portland and funny photos each to go with.
I can say I did same thing/ said same thing maybe not to show off my white-ness since I am not; but like, I did went along with someone assumed I was a Korean or Chinese at where and when being Japanese was not so hot situation during traveling.
Why rock the boat? avoid confrontation-so white!!</p>
<p>back to Cooper
have not seen RD packet yet. should we (we!!) worry about it?
last year was post marked Jan 27 and being local.
I don’t want to make fuss (so white) if its on the way. anyone?</p>
<p>email <a href=“mailto:admissions@cooper.edu”>admissions@cooper.edu</a> and ask if it has been sent.</p>
<p>Hmm, 27 here. The list seems very geared to urban liberal white, not red neck hillbilly white, lol. I don’t actually consider myself to be a rednecked hillbilly, but I certainly am not an urban liberal either. I am white though, just a darker shade of white???</p>
<p>27!? what’s wrong with you all??? let’s hear what do you LIKE, all 27 of them, each of you!</p>
<p>12,100 and hungry.
[Hung</a> Ry - Menu](<a href=“http://hung-ry.com/menu.html]Hung”>Hung Ry Lip Injections Brisbane - Lip Augmentation & Enhancement QLD)
yep I did it.
G posted NYT noodle pulling place in “launch” A.K.A. “lunch” thread for hungry kuma-chan. the place is named Hung Ry, sounds Chinese-y but actually spells hungry. see that menu above. It is wrong to charge $15 and up for mere bowl of noodles unless super duper special.
was it?
the guy is pulling with hands allright but it was pre portioned and machine thrashed (scored?) it sort of like embroidery floss or silly strings bunch separated per servings ready to be floured and pulled just for the show, then threw into the boiling water quite randomly and fished out when the guy thinks its al-dente.
I saw pull and throw three four servings ,fishing out of one in duration of few min. good luck you get the right done-ness of the noodle. mine was bit too well done, waterlogged spaghetti-sh. Should have chosen oxtail or pork belly but scared of tongue or tail and chickened out to chicken broth. so
it was like Campbell soup only costing 10 times more.
I had left-over funds from the trip, where there is money, there is temptation. should have bought my kid the Krazy Kat book instead?
No!!!
then I would be dreaming one and only hand pulled organic noodles forever and ever.
and there were early bird Sunday NYT for tomorrow with Book Review intact for diner to read while wait.
Tiger mom rules!!! up from last week’s #5 to now #2. going strong in non fiction.
as for the noodle
let’s wait for the noodle pulling dude 'd open his own restaurant as the article says.
The place might have wet or even sticky formica table top and plastic bowls but noodle done right noodle should, won’t it be?
He’d not going this fusion track so (very cute) waiter won’t come asking
“sparkling or tap water? anything to start with? wine, sake, care about appetizer?”
hello, I am here to eat noodle for cryin out loud.
Next to me was foreign accented two adult children and parents talking about Bhutan and Tibet.
across from me was a table for middle aged white parents with Asian preschooler all eating with sticks. the other end was supermodel blond escorted by brown/tan guy in red plaid shirts.
here is to stuff white people really like!!!</p>
<p>for those wondering what this^ all got to do with Cooper, it is in its vicinity, Bond street around the corner from Bowery.
they offer lunch special salad and dessert.
Cooper kids with ample funds or visiting folks, go for your bragging right, before NYT article effect fades away…</p>
<p>edit!!
each strands of the noodle were totally uniform and I though must be done by machine at some point, thou the video now I got to see shows how they are done, sorry and edit.</p>
<p>20% white (well almost)

<p>My nonwhite list likes: Raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles, warm woolen mittens, wild geese that fly with the moon on their wing… um girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, silver white winters (got that one) that melt into spring…I think schnitzel with noodles goes in there somewhere too, and cream colored ponies… seriously, I like all those things! Snuggly basset hounds and whiskery scotties. Soft toilet tissue. Irish coffee. Barnes and Noble Nook (it was so much better than carrying around a bag of books). iPod. HBO. Sweet peas (the flowers). Botanical art. Horse barns. Horses. Camp fires. Silk. Aerogardens (but I can’t grow anything myself to save a life… I have the blackest of thumbs). Cranberry pomegranate juice. Honey mustard salad dressing. Rutabagas. Winnie the Pooh. Rex Harrison as Dr. Doolittle. Omar Sharif as Dr. Zhivago. Anything with Helen Mirren or Cate Blanchard in it. Fluffy bathrobes. Hair elastics that can be readily found when needed. Autumn in Westchester. Summer in the OC. Lord of the Rings. Little girls at tea parties. Laguna Beach. Santa Ana winds.

Superbowl ads (but I rarely see the actual superbowl). </p>
<p>On the list there’s things like ‘diversity’ and I’m not particularly against diversity and I don’t not want to have diversity, and it’s not even that diversity isn’t important… it’s just not something that I’d list as a ‘like’ (if that makes sense). That doesn’t mean that I prefer a lack of diversity or like lack of diversity…or Asian girls… or any of the other stuff on the list. Heck, I buy organic fruits and vegetables now and then – I guess it’s all in how you define ‘like’.</p>

<p>To GMom- I defined like sort of as need- so with regard to diversity, i couldnt stand working/living in northeast ohio (not cleveland area, thats different) but am very happy in dc area, feel uncomfortable when i spend the summer on the cape, etc. its kind of like if you notice there arent people who arent white around, and if it bothers you.</p>
<p>Gmom
I see it now. I don’t like owning gadget but like looking at other people’s house or in Macy’s newspaper ads while doing clothes at laundromat.
you don’t like brown paper packages tied up with strings? I think that’s the most intriguing thing in the lyrics.</p>
<p>12,200 views and back to foundation building
if you go to Cooer sq now, you see in the building hallway, cardboard, eh, shack built by civil eng. kids.
my kid’s best buddy (since kindergarten, used to be arch enemy… fight after fight after fight all those hair ripping sleep overs, yankee games, brownie bake, popcorn pops age five to eighteen. now I get to escorted by two tall rather handsome young men thru Astor place. how much more mom of the boy could wish for? they lived thru, strong and healthy-so far)
he and his team built it without using any power tools, glue, tape (only little tiny bit on windows when messed up)
flatten out cardboard boxes are tied with ropes made out of braided strips of plastic bags. milk cartons are stuffed with scrap paper then sandwiched between cardboard for insulation. there is moisture vent, rain water collecting facility and potty.
He went to see the movie “Waste Land” from my kid’s urging and his eng. brain can remember and pronounce the word “Jardim Gramacho” whereabout I was saying, like, that place in Rio…
-People have to live like that, somewhere in the world at this very moment. We need to be aware. We are so proud, we worked so hard, six hours two weeks. not everyone wanted to do it. I wanted to see the result.
this from the boy used to complain because the pizza was not Dominos’ thin crust.
cynic in me had to ask thou, what are you gonna do after showing? (end of semester dumpster!?)
he said they got storage and every piece comes apart, and store flat and small. could be rebuilt just like that.</p>
<p>go switters!!!
I did not see you there while I was posting/ editing. your lovely H is a good sport.
for all of you, (yepyep) (wagwag) are what I added, of course not in the text from the book. feel free to paste it, thou it’s funny seeing it over again.</p>
<p>I gave myself half a point for 1. coffee (since I can only do decaf and I don’t like Starbucks) and 13. tea (since I only drink it because there’s rarely any good decaf around).</p>
<p>For the rest: 5. farmer’s markets 6. organic food 8. Barack Obama 15. yoga 24. wine 35. Stewart/Colbert 36. brunch (with dinch a close second…) 37. renovation 40. Apple products (but I hate going to the store!) 42. sushi 46. The Sunday NYT 53. dogs 54. kitchen gadgets 64. recycling 82. hating corporations 91. San Francisco 107. natural childbirth 121. reusable shopping bags 128. avoiding confrontation 138. books 142. hardwood floors 143. bakeries and…148. dive bars!</p>
<p>Oops, that’s only 24 all together. I’ll have to add - 81. graduate school 49. vintage and 26. Manhatten - and now Brooklyn, too. </p>
<p>My brain is a bit fried from a recent car trip but off the list I can add 1 - the smell of really rich soil (can’t wait for spring!) 2 - kenken (thoroughly addicted) 3 - not having to drive 4 - lazy weekends 5 - my MIL’s homemade pasta, and 6 - blueberries. How about also, 7 - not having a kid filling out college apps this year!</p>
<p>lovely G
if your thing #4 lazy weekends consists
brunch at your fav place Saturday, gardening or some, eat food cooked with family/friends bonus points +5 if it’s from your garden- read Sunday NYT all Sunday morning, interesting dinch, that would be the description of the #46 The Sunday NYT part of the book! there are lots of cross sections, like Gmom and switters said.
though from you all’s small-sh picks and interesting unti listings additions, somewhat each personality shown thru, and what I love about this forum is, they are consistent with what you been always said and posted.
I feel like I know you without knowing you. for those I am lucky enuff to gotten to meet in person, it have been always matchy-match to my manga visual and sounds.
so it have been interesting and valuable exercise. (or not?)</p>
<p>Great list! What is McSweney’s???</p>
<p>Thanks, I was thinking it was a gourmet store.</p>
<p>I should do tally but it seems we all live on coffee, dogs, wine and cheese.</p>
<p>hit 12,400 views.
Went to the Cooper office and no biggie, got another packet.
but due date is earlier this year, no entire mid-winter vacation could be counted on, and must be in-by, not postmarked, and they want flash drive for extra pieces that made sure to work with Mac OSX. picky picky!!</p>
<p>It was last Saturday night ^^the kid did show us the shack.
I said
" what you need is an artist’s statement. explaining blah blah so everyone’d know what you are up to"
He considered and said " good idea!!"
we parted in front of the dorm, 11-11:30PM.
Today is Monday, and there they are!!
it might have been already cooking but if it wasn’t, they did it sometime Sunday or this morning early!!
just few copy paper print-out taped on the wall but well digi-drawn, clear constructed all those arrows and markings explaining every elements.
here is the title
“SEA(small 2 for powers) M(small 3)” stands for
The Center for Sustainable Engineering, Art & Architecture
Materials, Manufacturing and Minimalism</p>
<p>^pre-made font in bright primary colors and I can smell same nerd/naiveness as the Cooper Turkey Run T-shirts design. love it!!
There is one sheet with round robin signatures of proud engineers.
I noted the one similar to their grade school’s graduation group signature T
There used to be annual science fair in the lunch room for 4th grade and up. Kids were still little, milk and PBJ era.
same milk and sandwiches they ate.
yet
The kid ^is more likely to become engineer and save the world.
My kid, the starving artist could be living in one of these SEAM structure in the future. which is rather cool with me now.
When I read an autobiography of Neil deGrasse Tyson (astrophysicist, director of Hayden planetarium AMNH)
<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_deGrasse_Tyson[/url]”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_deGrasse_Tyson</a>
I was moved by his determination and parental support.
everyone might as well start form grade school science fair, not so big-o- achievement gap there yet.
I don’ think Novel winners got to be more likely Intel winner or RSI alum.
genius can not be cultivated unless your parent is the Tiger mom. or could be?
sometimes, something happens to some kids who happen to have the aptitude and the rest is a history, good or bad.
Another book I want to read is “The Other Wes Moore”
OK, shoulda go to the book thread.</p>
<p>why’s that can’t even spell Nobel prize? why can’t see it til too late to fix!?!?!</p>
