hi everybody, just a few days now before i move into manhattan for real, it has been quite a wild (at least for my meagre standards) ride up to now, 2600 miles through the us, seeing enormous amounts of trees, plus the added wild animal (bear, deer, raccoon, bobcat, squirrel, and all kinds of birds), in addition to the miraculous duplication of motels, chainstores and fast food restaurants. new york has been very kind to me, as i've seen some nice films (the ever wonderful donnie darko now in its dc, the charming garden state, and today i hope to follow these up mean creek).
tomorrow will feature my first concert, albeit a classical one (oh the merry bonuses of being a 'fulbrighter'), on a barge by brooklyn bridge oevrlooking the, for me, still magical skyline of ny. my fulltime occupation of wideeyed newcomer has so far prevented me from enjoying more than a little of the other cultural life available here: i've bought but not quite finished the new daniel clowes comic about a smoking superhero, and am still reading the same very thin vonnegut i started by a manmade lake/golfing resort in georgia last week. i hope to show you a couple of shots of my new room soon, but that will have to wait until things have settled down, as next week will bring the republican convention, just a few blocks from my new place of residence, as well as orientation, registration, an english test, and the other crazy activities one normally would associate with the first weeks of class, love en kus,
f.
