january 2003 28 january 2003 here's the deal: when you live in new york city, you can't plan anything. this was on my list of reasons NOT to stay in new york in the past. but now i have to say, that maybe that's what is keeping me here at the moment. you can search high and low for what you are looking for: career, social life, etc. but the only way you find those things here is because you literally trip over them. like one day, you're on a bridge and the phone rings. that just happened to me, but it's sorta weirdly symbolic in a lot of ways. read something: be sure to take note of the two new record reviews in the music section. 27 january 2003 i think i officially live in brooklyn now. i just went to the supermarket and apparently i dropped my student ID there in the last few days. they set it aside for me because they knew i would be back. and so i was. i like those moments when you feel like you belong somewhere, when people remember who you are. i've been a little confused about where i belong exactly, but all i can do is just be where i am and know what i have. it's working out ok so far. i also learned today that you can buy a whole bag full of groceries for under $10. it's called buying vegetables, it's a really wild concept! i'll admit, i've been a bit heavy on the prepared foods (aka processed) lately. i see some cooking in my future. hoy es lunes. 24 january 2003 word of the day: surprise (reprinted from dictionary.com) 1.
