a few days of exploration
I haven't posted in a while because so many new things have been happening. Last weekend me and the roomies, Omar and Lauren, house/pet sitted in a penthouse apartment in Harlem. We felt like we were on vacation. We didn't do anything in Harlem, just hung out in the apartment for most of the weekend. We went back home to get our laundry, then came back and did our laundry for free, drank beer, ate pizza, and watched mindless cable tv. It's odd how well the 3 of us get along- it's like we've known each other for years. I really lucked out with them. Even right now, as I'm writing this, we're all watching "Flight of the Navigator" in the livingroom. It's nice to have such good people to be around while I'm in this totally new environment. It's just one more thing about this move that fell into place.
I explored my neighborhood yesterday, which is where most of these pictures come from. I wanted to show y'all things that I see everyday. I walk around Astoria and Manhatten wishing I could share the experience with someone, so this is how I'm doing it. I also took pictures of the apartment so that my family knows where I live. I think it's kind of fun to see the little, everyday things in people's lives- like the bathroom. I know it's anti-climactic, but if they were here with me I would give them the tour of my place. Since I can't, this is the next best thing.
Unfortunately the picture descriptions didn't come up, so just know that these things are sights around my street and apartment. A couple of them were from Omar- he took the picture of the pink stuff- my breakfast: oatmeal with strawberries, honey, mixed nuts, and dried fruit. The ultimate bowl of fiber! He literally had the camera and said, "I want to show people that you actually eat this stuff."
Enjoy!

Wow! You're really doing it. I'm so proud and happy for you. Your place looks charming and homey. Looks like you cleaned it up abit, must've needed a womans touch. Way to go Em. Love from your secret admirer..you know.
Nothing to that NYC thing, is there? When you think about it, it's just like a cup of coffee. I knew you could do it. Looks like you'll have the city eating out of your hand in no time. Thanks for sharing the little things in your life. They really are the things that define us all. Always remember your roots (helps to keep you humble), live your life to the fullest at every moment (don't waste them, you'll never get 'em back), and reach for the stars with every step you take (you've got what it takes to get there). I'll be looking for BIG things from you.
