Idle time

without a camera is a shock experience all on its own. I gave the little camera i was using back to my neighbor, now i'm without... for a while. I went to look around for cameras yesterday, nothing fancy, perhaps just a step up from what I was using before. staying in the canon family, I found a great one, was sold out EVERYWHERE, so I ordered one online actually cheaper than retail prices. hopefully it will get here soon. I don't really want to travel anywhere without a camera, so i'll be sticking around the area for the next few days of the vacation (unless i can manage to pick up a trip).
for all its rough edges and dirty corners, this neighborhood is full of photographic opportunities.... i can't wait to get going with it!

i've been really enjoying this apartment, too.... there's a record player, the roommates have everything from charles mingus to elvis costello to recordings of ezra pound reading from the cantos.... so despite the lack of cable i'm loving listening to record after record, painting little by little in my room, making tea, befriending the cats.

jessie would freak out over their bookshelves, too. there's calvino, sebald, marquez, barthes, delillo, kundera etc....

Greenpoint I Love You But I'm Moving to Red Hook

i found a lovely little ship-apartment in Red Hook, overlooking the park, beautiful rooftop, view of the Statue of Liberty, super-nice roommates, big kitchen, IKEA next door (for better or worse)
so i'm out of this lovely little nabe that ive really come to love and into a new one that i am so excited to become familiar with.

but all of that after a trip over the pond. one of the pilots likened the experience to Groundhog Day recently and i quite agree. i'm going to try to maintain variety though.....


more on saturday, returning and packing up and moving on.

then, i am going to plan a trip to someplace warm and sunny. puerto rico or cancun, 12 dollar hostel, close to the beach. might as well enjoy the privileges of flying!

Spitalfields again
