and now for a real post....

i'm back in nyc...the holiday was okay. started off really well and then it wandered off into painful and unnecessary familial drama that is still underway. but such is life, i guess. those transient moments where everything seems all hunky dory are just that - transient moments (...where everything seems all hunky dory :)

ah...so i've returned, once again, to the city that never sleeps. things haven't changed so much about how i feel about this city. i think i'm still in this state of general mellowness about being here. part of it is the day to day - i can't go home just yet because i'm feelin a bit anti-social and the roomie is having someone over for the next few days, i just paid 8.50 for a sandwich that was smaller than a subway footlong and didn't even taste as good as one, and a drunk guy just sat next to me and kinda hovered over my computer (i'm at a cafe trying to kill time before i find my way home...) and that's nyc for you, folks.
