thanks to a nice chat in washington square park and a movie date with myself last night, i've been feeling really optimistic about life. let's be real. we all get down on ourselves sometimes, but i suppose that comes with the age and life in general. future plans, past in present, looming career choices, post-undergrad education plans, love, loneliness, etc. we've all got a lot on our plates. however, i've become increasingly assured that we will all be okay (and obviously i have to authority to make such generalizations, hah). that is to say, we're young, well-educated, and have a myriad of opportunities available to us, but we must take care of ourselves in order to be happy. decide what we want in life. no, i do not want to meet "empty" people at misshapes every weekend and fade away into a subcultural abyss of sex, drugs, and beauty facades...but i do want to find my niche here, and i realize that will come with time.
after work yesterday i walked to east houston to escape the heat and finally see broken english. i enjoyed it, but not necessarily for it's credibility as an art film. for me parker posey's character hit too close to home. from her mannerisms to dating woes to wardrobe to the fact that she sits outside joe's coffee and goes to visit the penguins in central park when she's feeling down, her character was me. to make things even stranger, as i was walking back toward the west village after the film, i saw parker posey herself coming out of whole foods. this made for a weird displacement that led me to believe we really are living in the truman show, hah.
eventually i made my way to the chelsea piers, where i met up with corey and a bottle of wine. despite the fact that we were facing jersey, the breeze from the hudson felt really nice. we talked more about life after college and at that moment we decided that there was no where we could go except here, or maybe europe. or maybe canada. or maybe california...but middle america is out of the question! snobbery, i know.
here are some photos of katie and heather's visit this weekend. it was really nice to see them and they treated us to a fabulous dinner at sushi samba.
p.s. my apologies for the existential rant!

Well said, CHEERS!!
parker posey is a crackwhore.
and down with middleamerica!
from the words of kelis, let's get it on in public.
oh and btw, i'm emailing you my flight itinerary.
The "of" following "myriad" is unnecessary. Nay, incorrect. Europe is nice. Having never been to New York, I imagine it to be a wannabe western european metropolis.
...and so is the "a" in front...
um, thanx grammar police!
