2.25.02 – washington doesn’t suck!

there’s nothing terribly exciting to report about new york: it’s a big city, i work here. it’s funny how quickly i went from being intimidated by new york to behaving like a new yorker. i think it’s part of being an empath: i take a day or two to soak up a city’s vibe and then poof! i stop feeling at odds with the city and start blending in. my work schedule is light enough that i actually have some free time to play, but seeing as how i have about 8 cents to my name right now, i’m not doing too much shopping/dining/museum hopping, and mostly hanging around my sunnyside sublet reading anna karinina. on wednesday i’m going to go to the immigrant museum on ellis island and take pictures for my dad; he always talks about how ellis island (where his grandmother first came to america) is the one place in new york he’d most like to see.

disclaimer at mari’s request: washington doesn’t really suck, it was just Thomas Jefferson and some questionable turkey that made us want to hurl. it’s true, DC was sunny and warm(er than Buffalo) and had good ethiopian food and excellent lebanese food and even better it has mari. :)
