I'd like to say "What a weekend!" but strangely I can't even remember what we did...and it's not like we were having crazy parties or anything, it's just that time moves so differently here - like a different reality or something- that days seem longer and quicker at the same time. I guess that's what they mean when they say "a New York minute"- it's a piece of time that can't exist in any other place on Earth. But let's try to think back...Friday I spent a good part of the day applying for jobs. Good for me. Then Eric and I lived it up for the first time in a while and found an awesome bar near NYU and went to happy hour. It was so great! And I felt so cool- out on a Friday afternoon, drinking $3 cocktails (this is VERY cheap, believe me...), eating 20 cent chicken wings on BLEECKER Street. By the way, you cannot order, say 4 chicken wings if you're feeling like having a light snack. They have a 10 wing requirement, and they won't let you take any home. So be prepared. But they're really good. And it's still only $2 for 10, so you don't really feel bad at all about that...
Later that night, about when I though it was time for bed, I was required to get out of my pajamas for an adventure out to a sports bar with some of Paul's friends. We were quite a picture: a couple actresses, several gays, myself- all messy and tired, and Eric, trying to fit in at a sports bar where the main activity is beer pong. For those of you unfamiliar with beer pong, it's a completely ridiculous, embarassingly fun game in which you try to throw ping pong balls into plastic cups filled with cheap beer so the other team has to drink a lot. Very popular with frat boys and, apparently, former New York City frat boys and frat boy wannabes.
Saturday was fairly uneventful (read: filled with homework), although we did venture over to 5th Avenue- a frightening adventure, particularly on a Sunday afternoon- and made our way through the crowds to Express where we encountered an extremely overzealous saleswoman. We also smelled a lot of pee and horse poop. It's too bad. It's a pretty nice area. I think Central Park has something to with it...
Today was just reading. Literally. Ok, reading and exercise. But mostly reading.
We also noticed that the sky was purple and pink and it looked amazing between these 2 buildings that were reflecting light blue. Really beautiful.
I was going to post more pictures, but this is too long already and I have to go to sleep because it's back to the workaday job of finding a job tomorrow. And I'm serious now. No more kidding around...Besides, I have a lot more reading to do too....
