another manhattan day

so i started off the day in a foul mood. well it's not the biggest deal in the world, but my phone acted up. i found a broken port -which means, i need to get a new phone.

so i did. i went to the retail store on fifth avenue (ha...good excuse to take a stroll down that street) and got a new one. nothing too fancy, but it's working. so good.

oh and i LOVED the public library on fifth avenue. it's awesome. if you, the reader, ever come to new york city, please check it out! that place is old, architecturally badass and the people are awesome. in the process i bumped into this lady. an elderly french lady, probably in her late 50s, wearing a pink hat, brown mittens and a brown furry coat. she had long white hair, with jagged ends. she had a tote bag on her right hand and a GAP bag on her left.

she was talking to the pigeons and doves at the intersection of fifth avenue and W 42nd Street (near Bryant Park). It took me a minute to figure out her words. Je veux que tu vives...

also strolled down United Nations place. It was interesting ... text books don't do much justice to the beauty and magnificence of the building. i sometimes wish people didn't come up to me for money or survival assistance. i'm a student without money. i cannot help. if i say it aloud they look at my coat and smile. the calvin klein tag is increasingly becoming a problem. i may pull it off someday

next drift times square. it was nice. possibly an ocean of people with different smells and wafts. why is that the first thing i notice? i don't know. random thought: i think i like third avenue or lexington avenue more than i like fifth avenue -just a personal preference i guess.

so this is the gameplan for tomorrow. go to CU Undergrad campus and then met art. i'm really excited. will keep you posted
