Let me sing you a waltz
I almost have house pictures to put up. I actually took pictures of everything, but then I realized that there are a few that should be re-taken in the daylight, so one of these days, I'll take those last few pictures (mostly of the attic), and then I'll post it all. Finally.I can't believe it's been a month already. It feels like my routine here is so much more established, and yet it's flown by so fast, I can hardly believe it.
I'm watching Before Sunset for the bazillionth time. That is just such an amazing movie. Every time I watch it, I'm even more captivated by the writing and the acting. I think that it's because it's all so intertwined in this movie. It's all so organic, and I love the movie so much because I love the story of the process of making it. You know?
I think it's a good thing I touch-type, too, because I can be watching the TV while I type this.
Speaking of movies, Janna told me that she saw Reverb, the karaoke movie I was an extra in last spring. And, apparently, my scenes weren't all cut, and you can see me! In one scene, she tells me, you actually know that it's her and me (that was the grocery store scene, shot the night of my college grad ceremony--after dinner with the family, I didn't have anything else to do, so I went to the shooting!), and there's another scene that's just my back, for a split second. She said that she just knew it was me because she recognized the shirt and "because we spent 80-120 hours a week together." Pretty cool, hey? Hopefully I'll actually get to see it someday! :o)
I spent the evening getting more meals in the freezer--I made a lasagna and a big pot of stew, and they're currently cooling enough to be divvied up without melting the Tupperware. Three down, two to go. I'm not going to do anything tomorrow, I don't think, but Friday, I'll make something chicken and something fish (and neither one of them that resembles soup), and that'll get us through the next month, at least. I'm so not interesting. Heh. Here I am, just talking about what I'm cooking for dinner.
I took a different train home today, and on my way home, I walked past a little coffee shop in my neighborhood today. Get that? A coffee shop. In my neighborhood. I didn't think that existed! I think I may have to leave early enough tomorrow morning to stop in on my way to the subway and see what it's like! It's called "Bagels and High Tea," and it actually looks really cute. I'm sure I must have walked past it before--during the first week I was here, when Lourenzo and I were walking around our part of Brooklyn every day--but it must not have registered with me.
Sometimes, I'm amazed at how little there is around me. Wait. Let me rephrase. How little that I'm interested in that there is around me. There are businesses, but they're not the kind of thing that I'm probably going to spend a lot of time in. I spend most of my time in Manhattan, anyways, so I don't really have much need for the local stuff. Apparently, there are areas of Brooklyn that are a lot funkier and a lot more "gentrified" (as Alexandra would put it) than where we live, but I just don't spend a lot of time there, so I know very little of Brooklyn, except for my street, and that's about it. I keep meaning to rectify that, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
I just hope the coffee shop is worth it!
