CityScapes

As you should have gathered from my last blog entry, I went to NYC with Sarah and Vikki last weekend. I had a good time - the weather was fantastic and we got to do a lot of things. Let's see... In no particular order, we went to Central Park (gorgeous... simply gorgeous), the American Museum of Natural History (hadn't been in years - it was great!), the Serendipity cafe (If you've ever seen the movie... Their desserts are really good, but the service is highly questionable - any place where you have to flirt with the waiters just to get a table clearly has something wrong with it...), the UN building, the Strand (a very cool bookstore in Union Square), Chinatown (the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory is a new favorite of mine), Times Square (but no shows, sadly), Grand Central (there was a lady towing along her little dog that didn't want to walk), a Korean restaurant (Thai is better, I think), Pret a Manger (a British chain of sandwich shops that has expanded into the US - their sandwiches are fantastic, and it's a shame that Sarah and Vikki had the unfortunate experience of... going to the wrong place! o_o), and Kinokuniya (more manga for me, what did you expect?). We also discovered an art piece called the UberOrgan, basically a giant organ made out of all sorts of random plastic sheets and tubing, which looked a lot cooler than it sounded. The Chinatown bus was more expensive than last year, and it took just as long to get in and out of New York as it did last year... But at least this time around, I had my iPod and it did a good job of keeping me occupied.

This all reminds me that I still owe Sarah's sister a thank-you card, 'cause we stayed at her apartment. Guess I better figure out where I stash all those random cards that I never use.

Anime Boston is next weekend... Already, argh! My wings are still incomplete, but they're getting there... Slowly. I need to get it done soon, so I can start playing around with feathers and ribbon. o_o; I started growing out my nails, and they are making it hard for me to type, so I'm probably going to give up on that, and find some fake ones. Long nails suck - I don't understand how my sisters can stand it, what with all the computer chatting and piano playing that they do.

Current song: onoken - BRIGHTONE (try googling for this one - it starts out jazzy and ends up trance-y... it's really cool!)
Current mood: Sick and tired of reading! Darned Japanese Politics class.
