New York

I just got back from New York yesterday - it was the first time I'd been in about two years. I think I got a bit of culture shock. It really was like walking through a man-made canyon - it was so loud, and it smelled like grilled meat. I felt like I was the angel in Wings of Desire, I could hear everyone's thoughts, but really, it was just because people have to speak loudly to be heard above the din.


I went over to do some interviews for a couple of profiles I have to write. They're due Monday. Obviously, I haven't started yet - it's still only Saturday... And since the deadline is on New York time, I don't really have to start til Monday morning. Right?

Other things I did while I was there: I had a slice, some sushi and lots of Mexican food. I saw lots of friends, which was nice. I am exhausted!

Oh, I finished one of the socks I was test-knitting:

Doesn't London feel all little and cute by comparison?

I love that sock; it's turned out beautifully.

Oh, I also try to eat as much sushi as I can when I'm in the states. :)

That's a nice sock! Whom are you test knitting for?

Great fotos! I can understand that you feel exhausted. So it was for me when I came from a small town to London... Greetings to you and send us more pictures from the big apple.
