The Morgan Library
I finally made it to The Morgan Library and it is ridiculously beautiful, you have to see for yourself.
I'm not sure if it's totally worth the $20/per person ticket, but if you go between 7pm and 9pm on Fridays, it's free.

Fact of the Day
When you can’t sleep on your first night in a new place, your brain is trying to protect you. Many animals sleep with only half their brain, while the other half stays alert to possible dangers. It’s called the ‘first night effect’ in humans, because our bodies put us in a strange, half-asleep/half-awake state the first time we sleep in an unfamiliar environment.
The Hours
So many things are great about this movie and if you haven't seen it, pleasepleaseplease remedy that. Ed Harris has arguably the best scene in any movie ever (the one by the window near the end of the film) and I'm not overselling that. Philip Glass kills it with the soundtrack in ways that I didn't know were possible. And once you get over Nicole Kidman's stupid nose, it's actually an amazing movie.
Snapchat
I'm on Snapchat! I'm still getting the hang of it, but if you have it, my name on there is liz-heather

UberYACHT
Uber, the online transportation network company, has already brought us cars, boats and helicopters to help with getting from A to B and now it's turning its hand to luxury vessels.
UberYACHT launches in Dubai this week, allowing residents to access a deluxe yacht party through their Uber app.
Food, drink, resident DJs and views of the city's iconic shoreline come with the ride (at a cost of $82) for those who request their spot using the app 48 hours before the ship sets sail.
Uber, which was founded in 2009, has often dabbled outside the world of cars, offering boat rides across the Bosphorus in Istanbul (UberBOAT) and helicopter trips through California's Coachella Valley (UberCHOPPER).
Somebody take me to Dubai, please.
