: I'm going to start using this again.
Not for any sort of literary awards. Just simply for banal updates on my life.
I've decided this for a couple of reasons:
1. I feel very comfortable in New York now. I have a hand-full of good friends to call on for social situations. I know my way around the city, and have discovered some interesting places to hang out.
2. I've just been hired as a Marketing Assistant at an unnamed media firm. One of the fastest growing companies in America, with offices in London, Los Angeles, and soon Europe. The atmosphere is very late 90s internet boom. Lots of free shit and cocktail parties. Should prove interesting to write about.
Today:
It was near 50°F and not a cloud in the sky. I woke up early and cleaned the apartment. Took a long walk all the way up to Williamsburg, and passed through the Hasidic neighbourhood along the way. I'm used to being stared at in public, but walking through this area as a gentile is like parading naked through a colony of puritans. Bad times.
Made it to hipster Williamsburg, felt more at ease. Everyone was out of town/not returning my calls this weekend. I visited three record shops looking for the latest Monade album, but no luck. I may have to order it off the Too Pure label website which is only in Pounds Sterling. Expensive!
Walked across the Williamsburg Bridge to the Lower East Side for the very first time. Decided this was the best bridge to walk across due to lack of tourists (Brooklyn Bridge, I'm looking at you) and the fact that the pedestrian walkway is far and above the trains and cars (Manhattan Bridge, ahem). The views of Midtown are superior, and on the other side you can see all of South Brooklyn and the Navy Yard.
While I was at the 2nd Ave F and V station under Whole Foods, I saw a guy that successfully embodied a modern interpretation of the Andy Warhol look. Made me feel warm inside.
Now I'm listening to a Miles Davis record with the window open a crack, and a cool spring breeze occasionally creeping in. I know I should probably be ironing a dress shirt for work tomorrow, but I really can't be bothered.
