tales from an ordinary world

2000-02-05

It's quite a nice place. In some ways it just seems like a another big city - my nostalgia for a lot of the places here maybe isn't what it should be. But I'm glad I came along.

I was told to expect it to be really cold, but it's not unbearable or anything, so far. Perhaps the worst is yet to come ?

In any case, I can't help feeling like I'm on the brink. Of something so far unknown. There's something I ought to be doing. Etc. Etc. On the other hand, I always feel like this, I guess. The great unknown's lurking around the corner. And I'm not doing anything about it.

I'm trying not to regret leaving my cd player behind, but it's hard. Hearing other people's music everywhere I go, but never mine...

FAO Schwarz, besides having plush walruses, Alfred E. Neumann dolls and other oddities, had subway train t-shirts. You could get one for R, A, and I think one other. I wanted an F train t-shirt, but no luck :(

If I had the willpower, it'd be tempting just to disappear, to get on a bus at the huge bus station, and just go...somewhere...anywhere. The eternal fantasy of mine to start a new life...

For now, though, it's time to keep wandering around New York. Maybe I'll find it by accident, somehow. One can only hope.
