a few moments

just got back from my first subway ride on my own, and from meeting wendy for healthy japanese food in union square: salmon with ginger sauce, curried vegetables, brown rice- good food, good conversation. good to see her. she's awesome!

here a few of my favorite moments from today:
-waiting at a corner to cross the street, this white guy in a northface jacket is looking across the street, also waiting...just as the green man comes alive, he waves a girl to come over, hands over head, waving her over furiously. this pretty latina girl dressed up with a dress, tights and boots - everyone in nyc seems to be wearing this!- walks over and he can barely contain himself, and as he walks to meet her practically in the middle of the street, says 'hey baby. hit it!' and leans over to kiss her and she kisses him. so so cute. awww...makes me want to vomit in my mouth. j/k.

- on the subway these two guys get on the subway and say 'hey ladies and gents, it's doo wop time' and run through the crowded subway singing (and collecting money, of course), and at the end say 'just smile! it won't mess up your hair' or something ridiculous. 'cause everyone is avoiding eye contact with them. i want to smile because it's funny but i'm solemn because i was told by a new yorker to not make eye contact and to not trust anyone in new york.

-getting a new york bagel with cream cheese!! mmmmm.
-having a doorman! wtf. i have a doorman. who's the nicest guy in the world, especially because he didn't flinch one second when i asked him this morning "where can i get sundries..you know like toilet paper!". nice guy. but oh yeah, i dont' trust him.

okey dokey, off to my place to pack for the next couple whirlwind days...and to get some sleep.

i'll post pics later!
