NYC recap
So last night, I dozed off and woke up to a message from 
tamnonlinear, who was at the Tribal Night show at the Palace of Wonders. It was a bunch of people shouting get well soon stuff. The only voice I recognized distinctly was James the LJ-less (at least I think I heard him), so I don't know exactly who was in the crowd, but thanks, it meant a lot.
Dixie made breakfast of amazing awesomeness this morning. Veggie turkey bacon and eggs, plus this fantastic yogurt coffee-cake. She said she likes the idea of having a daughters, just as long as she doesn't have to pay for college or their medical upkeep. :)
Okay, good things... I never did talk about NYC. Hmm, well, for starters, when I got there, Tex presented me with the NFT 2008-- a complete, detailed, not-for-tourists guide to New York broken down by neighborhood with everything you could possibly need to know on-hand. We went to brunch with his sister Leah, who is very cool and sweet, then we walked around Chinatown and SoHo. We saw an art installation and sipped some couture cocoa at Vosges. We went back to Tex's apartment in the East Village and chilled out with some Thai food before watching a movie with the awesome Miss Carly and some of her friends. Before we headed out to Ace Bar, which was basically Chuck-E-Cheese for adults (margaritas + skeeball = score!); I pwned Tex in skee-ball, and Tex pwned me with his real V-Day gift. A shiny new black iPod tricked out with all of his favorite albums. Sarah exclaimed, "oh my god, it's like getting a mix tape from James Bond!" And you know, it kinda is. So I have joined the mp3 age and now must go on an iTunes spree.
Ace Bar was very very crowded; I'll have to go back on some other night. We ended up at 2B with Carly and another of Tex's friends (Dave?). 2B had a much better atmosphere-- two floors, chic, comfortable-- good music, but nothing you can't talk over. Great martinis. After pizza, we got back to Tex's sometime around 3:30. The next day we were lazy and slept in, then got bagels and did some cuddling before I headed back to the bus. Tex and I cuddle exceptionally well. We're like the yin and yang of body temperatures. And also covers. This is why he is my favorite manpillow.
Overall, I'm kind of easing into getting to know NYC. I know that I can be a little slow to make major life decisions, but I'm sort of trying the city on for size, seeing if I could live there. And I think I could. But I want to make sure I'd be moving for the right reasons and all of that, so I don't want to rush to a decision. But the city is exciting and vibrant and a place I definitely want to spend more time.
Ohhhkay. Have been parked on the couch with Ariel watching old-school Angel this morning. I'm not really planning on moving. I swear, this sofa has qualities of amazing regeneration and comfy-ness.
