from the metro-north

i missed my train this morning. i don't know how that happened exactly... considering i pressed the snooze button only once and woke up at a decent time. i blame my 6 train... it didn't come at 7:35am like it normally does. it came 5 minutes late. which in turn made me miss my hudson line. but it gave me an excuse to go grab a breakfast sandwich at frank's papaya (no, not grey's... but frank's) on the corner of 125th and lex. for $1.75 it's a pretty good deal. big and tasty. yum. i needed to wash it down with something so i grabbed a coffee from the little snack shop at the harlem-125th station but sheesh, it was bad bad coffee. watered down and bitter. i suppose i should have bought one from the cart outside where they boast the sign "best coffee since 2001" or something close.

i can't believe i've been in new york for 6 months already. 6 months! it seems like just yesterday i packed up my stuff from san francisco to new york. i must say the russian-hill-to-the-upper-east-side transition was pretty smooth. considering the job offer to the move date was exactly 3 weeks. and i wasn't even planning on moving. i've had a long love affair with san francisco but really.... maybe my true love is new york city. like those delta airline advertisements that line the walls of the subways. it says something like "cheat on new york... we know your true love is new york city but..." and so forth. sure i can cheat on new york. i do it every other week. i was just in san francisco this past weekend as a matter of fact. with a job that gets me out of the office once a month, a boyfriend back in the sf bay area and planned (and none planned) vacations, i've been in and out of airports every other week!well, here's to my first post on blogger! :-)
