downtown

finally....out of suburbia and into downtown....who would have thought that life would be so much more relaxed working in the midst of so many others? even sitting here, watching the people and cars go by - i can't help but feel alive.

koshka

so i formally signed up for my first russian class this morning....it feels strange but somehow liberating to know that i am not defined by my occupation. as if i am tricking the business world, saying "i will be here physically but no further."

we went to annie & paul's last night to watch the olympics, quite by accident. it seemed to be a very wholesome night, eating popsicles and watching gymnastics. i remember doing similar evenings in 1984 or 1988 in virginia - when the olympics were the height of evening entertainment - they almost had this magical aura about them.

hazy shade of winter

so i've been listening to simon & garfunkel recently....got their best hits from the library....it makes me wish i lived in brooklyn in the late 1960s....i'm sure i'm idealizing it...have you ever listened or read something that reminded you of something that never happened, or at least never happened to you? that's the way i'm feeling today....
