I slept very well last night, too. I'm pretty sure it was my full stomach that made me sleep so soundly.
Jose: After talking with Jenn last night, it sounds like she's actively pursuing a job outside of the city. She even applied to be a shop clerk at a jewelry store up in White Plains. (She couldn't do that here??) Anyway, I don't want to make any promises, but if she moves, her bedroom would become available. It's really big and has a private half-bathroom. She pays $600/mo. and the apartment is a block and a half from the N/W train. She's looking for a job ASAP (don't ask - she's having an identity crisis), so the room may come open at the first of the year... Just a thought. I don't know how you'd feel about living in Queens. But there's a full-sized kitchen!
I was nearly entrenched in a fight on the train this morning. A man of Chinese decent was lugging a HUG cart of stuff with him (I think he's one of those guys that sets up in Times Square and paints your name on a shoe or whatever). When we got to Queensboro Plaza, a large transfer hub, he and his cart were blocking the subway door, so people had to push and shove to get around him and into the train. A middle-aged Hispanic woman confronted him about his lack of consideration in a calm but no-nonsense tone. He apparently didn't like what she said. He stared at her for a moment and then violently began to give her the finger while yelling, "I get off at next stop!!" Her husband started yelling at the Chinese man in Spanish and flipping HIM off and then other passengers on the train started yelling at the Chinese man, as well. There's nothing like a tri-lingual brawl in an enclosed space to start the day off right. Oy! New York...there's no city like it in the world.
