it was gorgeous here today, if maybe a little too bright and a little too windy. i was feeling sort of cooped up so i popped some painkillers for the foot and headed out. i took the train to sheepshead bay, which is sort of an interesting neighborhood actually. it’s not far from me at all but i haven’t really explored it at all except for the time jim and i attempted to go to the staples near there and got horribly lost and cold and such. but it’s visually pretty interesting; it reminds me of a jet grind radio level or something, with really narrow crowded streets and the subway tracks above.

i wandered around and found somewhere to have lunch, and spent an hour or so in this little restaurant munching and rereading neuromancer. then i took the train back to brighton beach and walked down by the water for a bit. it was nice to get out.

i’m actually looking forward to going to boston within the next few days; i haven’t bought my tickets yet but it will probably be sometime mid-to-late week. it’ll be good to see my dad and everything, and also jons, who is the cutest ever. plus i sort of miss the boston/cambridge area, and since there’s no specific time i have to be back i can actually spend some time there for once.

i’m supposed to meet up with spencer and gundam tomorrow evening after they get off work for belgian fries at this place in the village, but i think before that i might head over to chinatown and see if i can’t find that thai red bull. also i just really like that neighborhood and i haven’t been there since spencer and i went over the summer.

and now i think i might go to bed even though it’s sort of early.
