I usually go up to NYC for parties--get there in the late afternoon, party all night, maybe stroll around a bit, then leave. This weekend I actually took the time to see the city--I'm in love! I suddenly get the hype--each borough is like its own city, but all combined into one conglomerate of greatness. The metro, the green space, the people, the parties, the fashion and glitz. I saw a five bedroom condo in the middle of Manhattan. Seriously. But it's Harlem that's got me so taken. The English Lit. major in me is nostalgic--the whole Harlem Renaissance thing. And visiting for the first time--Mmmm. Lots of green space, beautiful brownstones, and great eateries. A city made for single professionals.
My new mission in life is to live in NYC for a couple of years. That needs to happen soon, and conveniently enough, the UN is hiring Information Officers. If I get in, that move might just happen; but probably not for another year or so. Slow processes.

I love this photo! It was really overcast as we crossed the Brooklyn Bridge, even a tiny bit rainy, but it made for a great panoramic photo. I was completely distracted getting a good shot, and almost got ran over by a bicyclist who promptly told me to watch the f--- out. Sorry, dude! It was all worth it.
