New York is changing

And i guess it's been ever changing.

I'm walking down 3rd avenue and i see several places out of business. There's where brella bar used to be (where i spent an insane amount of money on 3, no 4 umbrellas). Next, a Gymboree, a pretty big kiddy clothing store. Then i come across a beautifully decorated wall. Nothing on the floor, no furniture, no light fixtures, just carpet and pretty wall paper. As i round the corner, i see the store sign "Ethan Allen". Even they closed shop here.

More to come i'm sure.

Made me sad, though. I felt like i wanted to hug the next person i saw to console them. Strange, huh?

Time to start walking again. My break to blog is done ^_^

Off to read more count of monte christo!

The Count of Monte Christo! When I was a kid, my oldest brother dated a cute girl who was a teacher and she gave me that book as a gift. At the time I thought, "Doesn't this woman know I'm just a kid?" It seemed so hard to read! Either that, or I was spoiled with "Highlights" magazine in Grade School! I LUV this post! :D)

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
