surfacing...

...been a couple of long weeks of work and life and strife and while the late night gripe has been on my mind I havent had time to jot a post. We went to Brooklyn the other weekend to visit a friend who was moving out of her house and having a stoop sale....have always wanted to sit on a stoop and share a beer. Done! Then walking around Brooklyn visiting markets then buying a couple of pushbikes at another sale, $20 each...and now the proud owners of two ye olde style bikes...anyone passing thru NY pls feel free to take them to the park for rides! Also, Brooklyn is worth a visit - the few times we've been have been great fun. People are really chilled...think inner west Sydney...um...what else off the top of my mind...oh yeah, okay yesterday I was working at one of the restaurants here in Tribeca and a couple walked past. I said to them 'oh we were on the same flight from Australia to NY, back in March and then we caught the same train from JFK to Chambers St station'. Naturally they asked if I was their stalker, seems everyone has one, but no I wasn't...they too remembered us as we had engaged them in conversation at the time...anyway seems they run a film production company here in Tribeca, (of course they do)...so I might try and follow that one up and push for an internship of sorts....what else...oh Geoffrey Rush won his Tony Award oi-oi-oi!!! ... it feels good becoming a 'local' and becoming familiar with shop keepers and neighbours...funny how the price of say, a six pack of corona drops from $15 to $10 in the space of a couple of months after visiting the same joint...
