One Week

I got here last Tuesday afternoon.  Here being New York.  It's my one-week anniversary!  I'm watching the Today show.  They showed Rockefeller Plaza.  I could go there now if I wanted to.  I have lots of moments like that, in which I say, "Hey, that's where I live now!  I could totally go there if I wanted to!"  I don't usually go.  In fact,  I haven't done a single touristy thing yet.  I got on a train and went downtown last Saturday and that was a gigantic mistake.  So. Many. People.  So many people walking really slowly and staring at things.  I overheard one woman giggling to her friend as they were squeezed between the mobs crossing the street, "Welcome to New York!"  I almost said, "Uh, this isn't New York.  This is Touristville.  Head uptown.  You don't even have to go that far.  There are no herds uptown."  I'm a New York snob already!

I'm still looking for permanent lodgings.  Problem is, I also need another job.  So I'm looking for both, and it's tiring.  *sigh*  Need to get in the shower.  I really don't want a shower.  I just want to go back to sleep.  Mmmm...banana chips.
