Hello! Oppressed one, class of '85!
I love the first day of Daylight Savings. It's like spring truly comes overnight--all of a sudden, it's light until 7 or 7:30, and it just appears out of nowhere. And I know that I've been watching it get dark a little later each week, so that by last week, it was just barely still light out when we'd get off the subway at 6:30, but now, it feels like it jumps from getting dark at 5:00 to getting dark at 8:00, in one day. And I know that's not quite the case, but that hour jump makes a huge difference.
It's been a good weekend. The other week, I had a long week, in the sense that my Tuesday felt like Wednesday, and so on. This week, I had a long week in the sense that Thursday felt like Saturday, but then I actually got Saturday on Saturday, so it was like an extra day, in the good way.
Last night, I went to see Keen Company's production of Children of a Lesser God, which was beautiful. I love watching ASL, and it was amazing to see a show that was almost completely simultaneously signed and spoken. Gorgeous.
Then, this afternoon, Naomi and I went to see her friend Rosalie perform in a selection of scenes/one-acts... a few performed, and a staged reading. It was fun, cute--done through Henry Street, a community arts center, so it was a much more community-based, volunteer-based show than most of what I've seen while I've been here. Most of what I've seen has been professional, although varying degrees of budget, etc, and it was kind of cool to see something that was a back-to-the-roots kind of thing.
We had lunch at a great Vietnamese place just off Union Square... there are so many places that I walk past all the time, but I never go to when I'm on my own--usually, I'll grab lunch at Wendy's or a deli or something. When I'm with people, though, the choices for a meal are never fast food. It's always "do we feel like Thai? Vietnamese? Chinese? Pizza? Venezuelan?" rather than "let's go to Wendy's? McDonald's? Quiznos?"
It's the kind of thing that's definitely more fun to do with someone else--I can find little places that I like on my own, but it's a lot easier to do it with someone else.
