Pretty awesome - cause Knowledge = All Manner of Goodies on Earth & Library = Free Access (or very low cost access) to Knowledge.

yeah, bought two for $1 at 36th st subway station in brooklyn today (while heading back to work after a false alarm at home re: carbon monoxide). the churros lady gave me an extra 1/2 a churro for free.

heard tina fey's gonna do some book signingings or something like that in nyc in april 2011

2010-12-09T21:21:00.000-08:00

yeah, that's what i heard

no wolf hats or cat hats today, but saw a dude in a bear hat

2010-12-09T21:16:00.001-08:00

it was at a subway station on the R line, a dude had on a bear hat - bear fur looking brown hat with bear ears. i think i prefer the wolf hat, if i was forced to choose.

no tv needed in nyc

2010-12-09T21:12:00.000-08:00

when i live in the suburbs of md/dc i watch a fair amount of regular tv & cable. but in nyc - do not feel like watching tv - 'cause there is a lot going on all the time - right outside the window, whenever you go out the door. i bet a lot of people in nyc read when they need some kind of entertainment as opposed to watching tv because reading is less stressful/requires a different kind of attention paying, less busy. need to go watch a movie in a movie theater.

no wolf hat sighting today, but saw a lady in a cat hat

2010-12-08T21:37:00.000-08:00

she had on a hat that looked like a cat's face - in line at barnes & noble's cafe at union square. good food at that cafe - red velvet cupcakes, yum.

another reason this is year 2 in nyc

2010-12-08T21:35:00.000-08:00
