Today was a truly great day.
Met up in the lobby of our building at 11am, and went on a trip to Brooklyn - the Fulton Ferry dock, Grimaldi's Pizza, Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, an Art museum featuring lots of sex/sex images, Jaques something a chocolate store, and a walk across the bridge, through TriBeCa, and back home.

I can't even pick highlights.  It was all glorious.  I think I'm on my way to being actually FRIENDS with Zach and Marcus, which would pump me up beyond belief.  I gave Zach $60 for the concert tickets, so now I feel a LITTLE better that this time last week he gave me $150 worth of tickets.  I'm gonna email him later and see if he wants more.  He helped me finish the melon-chocolate thing I got because it was the last piece, made me get in the pictures...and he remembers stuff about me, or that I say.  We got to joke about his Sex Museum stuff, and this girl was like 'oh, you've been to the sex museum?' and he was like 'no, it was a joke' which he then had to explain.

Walking home, I guess somewhere around either Canal or Houston (which I know, that's a tiny bit of a gap...) Mike and I started talking about Joe Dirt.  I LOVE Joe Dirt.  And Mike.  He's a good kid.  A good ol' Southern Boy.

And when I gave him the cash, he was like 'yeah, my concert buddy is still around but he's always so busy' so now I've established myself as a concert buddy.  Which means now I HAVE a concert buddy!!!! hahaha yay!  I hope that works out.  He's a pretty fantastic kid.  Took us the long way home to see his favorite area, TriBeCa (the Triangle Below Canal St).  Also learned some other neighborhood names, ie OUCH (OUter CHelsea), FIDI (FInancial DIstrict), BoCoCa (Boerum Hill, ____ Carol Gardens)... he's a good source for city info.

And I have to leave preeeetty much now because Jennifer is in town and eating at 5pm on 13th and 3rd and I am on 3rd and almost Broadway...it's a good 15 minutes from now.  Aces!

Then maybe tonight, I'll start doing work?  Considering today was bust?  But in absolutely NO WAY bust?

Yeah.  Life is good right now.

PS - my paycheck FINALLY came!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Woo Woo!

----1145----
PS - how adorable was it when I was playing with my  bouncy ball in the subway waiting for half an hour to get on an A/C train and I'm 5 years old and need things like that, and it bounced into Zach's arm/hand and he saved it and we argued about whether or not my ball winding up on the tracks would cause the train to explode?

Or when we were at the Exhibit and he was convinced the 2 ppl in the bathtub were going to start doing it so we kept watching?

Or that I was aware he kept looking at me on the train while he had my ball?  Or apparently was trying to get my attention at the pier when he had gone to get the pizza (I thought he took Judy and the other girl, but then he asked for a volunteer and I went, and so did Mike and that Russel kid.
Or how he kept asking me which street we should walk up on the way home?
Or just 800,000 different things that are so geeky for me to obsess over but it's what I do because this is what I do?
There was one other thing I wanted to write real bad here, but I can't think of it because my brain is MUSH right now.  So maybe it's okay that I forget.   (No, it isn't)
**oH, right, when we were at the Ice cream factory and I started to sing 'Fascinating New Thing (I'm surprised, that you've never been told before...)' and I sweaaaar he turned around and looked at me as though he knew the song.  15 Points if he actually did.
