Weekend Report: Beer, Biking, Bodies Exhibit

I've been getting killed by allergies this weekend. Pollen count has been INSANE. But that didn't stop us from having fun.

Friday night: Beer and sausages at Zum Schneider. Schneider Weisse and Kolsche are simply too tasty! Gig and I met up with my NYU friends. The night slipped into bar hopping in ABC land eventually leading unconsciousness, but fun times were had by all!!

Saturday: Grand tour of NYC on bike! Gig, one of his coworkers - Sam, Malekan, Chris and I went for a long bike ride. We made a loop around the island following the coasts and turning at 125th. It was an amazingly beautiful day.


Sunday: Bodies Exhibit. It was fun and educational. I think Gig and I got into it lot more than some of the other people there (i.e. we were being the slow pokes). I didn't know my liver was in my rip cages. For some reason I always thought it's in my left side near the pelvis. The coolest part of the exhibit must have been the circulatory systems where they plasticized the blood vessels and melted away rest of the body showing dramatic displays of how circulatory system is inside our body. It's definitely a bit too trendy and crowded for my taste, but it's still worth the trip.

Now I am hiding in my room with my brand spanking new Vornado Air Quality System 35 that I picked up from Bed Bath and Beyond this morning. If any of you guys have allergies, I am telling you, this system is VERY worth it. I noticed a difference almost immediately. Now I can actually function without my eyes poofing shut from allergies.

Anyone tried Flonase? Or are on any allergy medication they found to be highly effective? Claritan's been my best friend, but I am wondering if there's anything else better out there.

Coming up next, I believe Gig's going to bring his XBOX 360 to life or something. Stay tuned!
