Every Day In May #2
YATTA! I managed a second one. I was gettin' kinda concerned cuz today was "all over the place". But I found some time while the Sun was hacking away at his violin; I sat by the window and did a quick sketch of the view. Opus 118's new digs overlook the East 125th Street- Harlem MetroNorth train station. That big dark shape in the background is the Corn Exchange Bank building, an 118 year old structure that is in serious disrepair. Currently it's swathed in netting and in the front there is scaffolding. It's a beautiful building and it's too bad nothing has been done with it. It's looked like hell for years, and the winos have a whole city going on beneath the scaffolds. I think the drawing is crap but at least I got one done. Two down; 29 to go.
Anyway. Tomorrow it might be a photo, since I want to take my camera to the Sun's school when I go visit his Inuit Museum. He and his class have worked hard all year learning about the Inuits, constructing igloos from sugar cubes, and making a sled. I can't wait to see it.

Where did the YATTA! come from? Just a little etymological curiosity on my part - let me know your origins and I will 'splain where I am coming from on that particular phrase.
Another interesting "English by way of Japanese" I found is "skosh" - and it seems to be a post WWWII intro into the English language - but my Nana used to say it so can't figure out where she got it.
language is so intereseting.
Here's hoping many more Yatta's in your life!!!
