This American Life is truly a god send. and on the top of my reading list is "Nausea" because nothing exists that is greater than ourselves.

Yo BK You On Kings


Well I guess I have figured out how the Brooklyn Museum is making a little extra cash money during the hard-times, by offering its renovated entrance to network television. It sounds sort of like the Bk museum is selling out, but hardly, the facade of the building located on Eastern Parkway is featured in the new prime-time drama "Kings". The show imagines the city of New York as the capital of a North Atlantic monarch, and the entrance of the Brooklyn Museum is meant to be the king's city palace, which is actually supposed to be situated where the Time Warner building is in Columbus Circle, according to the view from inside the castle, and yes I do have quite a bit of free time and pay attention when shows are filmed on location, support New York.
I have always loved the Bks doors and am proud to see it appear as such an important structure in "Kings". And by the way, its an amazing show, it just aired and already made me sob, plus the first episode is based on the David and Goliath story, how can that go wrong. Check it out on Hulu, thats the only way those of us living in the stone age without televisions can watch it, but I heard it normally airs on sunday nights too. 
In other Brooklyn news, I watched Notorious, the film based on Biggie Smalls life, well the first half... um really? what was that? Although the guy that was supposed to be Puffy had a nice trash stash.
