sept 11th

so, let's see. what happened today? well, i didn't take any pictures. sorry, guys. i fail. but it was a nice day. i woke up around noon and went with my mom to my new chiropractor's office to drop off some x-rays. it's a short walk, but it was windy. as. fuck. and also raining. the rain wasn't that bad but the wind made it soo cold. and my pants were really long so they were getting wet. although i rolled them up a little when we got inside. also i was afraid my burt's bees was going to fall out of the pocket of my sweater. that was the worst part. so then we went to the verizon store because like 3 buttons on the front of my phone work. which is nothing new, but if i get a free replacement why not take advantage of it? but they didn't have any in stock and they were like, "well we can send you one." but i don't know my address by heart yet so i'll just call later. listen to me, calling people. i'm such a grown up. so yeah. then we took a cab to la palapa (77 st. mark's place for those of you who want to check it out). i wouldn't usually be excited about this but there were apparently like 2000 cops in the subways since it was september 11th. which makes sense but i just didn't want to deal with it. and la palapa is amaaazing. everything there is so ridiculously delicious. 

then we were super full and i would have liked very much to walk around st. mark's, but it was still rainy and my pants were getting wet at the bottom so we walked to the subway. which, the one we took was the first subway i ever went on. i was 12. there was a bleeding homeless person on the stairs. so that's a fun story. 

we went back to their hotel and hung out for a while...watched tv. there were depressing but interesting specials on 9/11 so we watched those for a while. then we went down and three of us lotto'd in the heights and two of us did hair. we won in the heights, so my mom and i went down to that around 7:30. there was an understudy on for usnavi and he was AWESOME. the show was the best i've seen it in a long time. it did make me kind of sad but mostly i was so happy because seeing in the heights makes me know for sure i made the right decision coming here, no matter how homesick i might get every once in a while. 

i went back to their hotel to grab a bag of applesauce and...something else. i don't remember. so now i'm in my dorm and in...four minutes i'm going to take a shower and go back to midtown around 3 to say goodbye. they leave at 5:15, so i'll have a while with them and then i think i'm rushing next to normal since i'll be over there. might as well. also planning alie's thanksgiving trip. nice and exciting. 

OH! last night i went to see danica dora and nick blaemire at the beechman. it was fucking amazing. i always forget how talented nick blaemire is, and he sang from glory days and i almost died. there was also this other guy named elijah tucker (i think?) who was really great. and now i am like obsessed with danica dora's voice. you should definitely check her out. she's awesome. 

well, time to hop in the shower and head out. til tomorrow.
