Change at Jamaica

Went out to Long Island to visit my sis, her boyfriend and my dad. We had a great time playing Wii Bowling and talking. Her friend Chris kept us all entertained with his colorful language and his willingness to learn something new!

Heading home now, wishing the weekend was at least three days. Traveling really takes away from relaxing time. But the time I spend with my family is precious, and that time is something I won't set aside again.

Today's weather was beautiful! I had lunch outside and got a chance to walk around nyc. It was perfect for pictures and my subject was the statues of NY Public Library at Bryant Park.

My original plan was to get some soil and a planter for the onion that's growing in my apartment. Instead, I ended up at kinokuniya, a japanese bookstore. March 11th was supposed to bring the new volume of Fruits Basket, but I couldn't find it there.

Lurking down the block, I went to the small japanese market on 41st between 5th and madison. Found some sushi rice and seasonings for my sis and picked up a bento. I checked Book-Off to see if they had furuba, but again, no luck.

So, I took my lunch to the steps of the library and enjoyed myself.

Battery is running low.... Finish this later.

G'night. ~_~

Marj: I planned to pot 3 plants for the sofa table yesterday (Look out Martha Stewart!) but decided, "Nah. It has a cleaner look with just my cool blue colored glass fixture in the center"! :)

long time no write

so i figured i'd do a freewrite tonight. esquire.com finally acknowledged the contest if is over(from august 1st :P) but i guess that's how writing contests wrk. i really have to start entering more, but i have to figure out how to get more money into writing. it would really help if i had a higher salary... or maybe i have to start giving up some of the things i'm paying for. hm.. time to study my budget again. not really up to writing much. this weekend will be a moving weekend so long as the hurricane (bill) doesn't get in the way. we'll see. good nigh all.

Cloverfield and a slight obsession (SPOILERS)

Image
okay... so i went with my sister to watch cloverfield (about two weeks ago). i liked it... but had NO idea the type of advertising went into it. So, when realizing there was something in the end scene that i missed, i went to google to look for scenes posted somewhere. Apparently, there was such secrecy into releasing the movie in the first place, people have been keeping track online. One site was particularly helpful when it came to explaining everything (without spoilers). Cloverfield Clues I seriously stayed up 2 hours to read all that was tied into the movie. Forums, myspace pages for each character, the companies that were fake and some real that were all in on the "game", and the overlying story that explained bits and pieces of the monster and how it all came to be. The initial reading was eye opening and i felt a little sad that i wasn't able to participate in the "clues." My interest waned and i only checked the site a few times a week (instead o
