chaff
So it's Sunday, August 23, 2009.
There's a lot going on in my life at the moment I suppose, but nothing too tumultuous or even bad.
I just got back from a loooong trip to New York and am very happy to be home. It was a cool place, but there's only so much you can take of not being able to see the sky or undomesticated nature.
Among my favorite things were CENTRAL PARK, The Met, our weekend trip to stay with Susan's loaded cousin in Pennsylvania, visiting The Mutter Museum in Philly, all the really hot guys/really plain girls, sweet-talkers, Times Square, the NBC store, Broadway (just the street--I didn't get to see a show), and our experience at Grimaldi's. It was a very memorable time, if nothing else.
I went back to work exactly 24 hours after arriving home, which upset me at the time, but also made me feel productive. Kellie, the former assistant manager, has finally parted ways with Store 1163 and our newly-hired ASM is almost fully trained. Everyone loves her--she seems very fun, yet professional. I'm excited to meet her and scope her out.
The cd player at work is broken so I've been able to listen to my ipod when I'm there. I made a sweet playlist that includes things like Beirut, the BeeGees, Arcade Fire, Nina Simone, Marvin Gaye, Frank Sinatra, Simon and Garfunkel, Joe Cocker, Regina Spektor, Rilo Kiley, Journey, Bon Jovi, Devendra Banhart, Carla Bruni, etc. Very upbeat, eclectic, wordly sound, but also some little indies to make me happy. It really lifts my mood to be able to listen to what I want; I've been so much more productive and natural when speaking with customers, it's ridiculous. Sadly the replacement cd player comes in on Tuesday so this blissful period is to be shortly lived.
I need a haircut. Maybe a nice one. I've never had a haircut that cost more than $20 before. I mean, my hair's so thin it probably wouldn't even make a difference if I spent more money on it, but hey. It's more or less the experience that you pay for, right?
I need to pay the extra $400 tuition. And buy books (about $300-$400). And buy a parking permit ($150-$200?). And start prostituting myself so that I can afford all these expenses.
I think school starts in a week.
I should go to the gym, but I feel like sleeping or loafing.
I want to go on a date with a nice guy who is exactly what I'm looking for.
I need to eat something REAL. Like a nice meal with pasta and meat and bread and an light salad and a good wine and a small, pretty dessert.
La la la la la la la.

Whoa, haven't seen you here in awhile!
I hear New York is amazing and life changing, would you say that is true?

I agree that it's amazing in SOME respects, just like all places. As far as life changing, I disagree. I think that is said by people who have yet to realize that where they are does not affect who they are.
