Janna Goes to New York and Pretends to Not Be Totally Lost – Part 2
A few observations from my day so far:
- When the sun is out and you’re walking a lot, 35 degrees feels awesome.
- I appear to have developed some sort of reverse-jet lag. I should be feeling like it’s 2 pm, not the actual 5 pm here in the Eastern Time Zone. But since I’ve been up for what feels like forever following my red-eye flight, it feels like 11 pm, and time for bed already. That’s not how that’s supposed to work, is it?
- I think the size of the Statue of Liberty is grossly misrepresented in Ghostbusters 2 (it’s smaller).
- People in New York actually read newspapers. Never has the sad state of the LA Times been more evident than when you compare the percentage of people on public transportation reading newspapers, of any kind – NY Times, NY Daily News, whatever. I can’t even remember the last time I saw anybody reading the LA Times anywhere, for that matter. Not a good sign…
- Due to the labyrinthine design of the New York City subway system, I seem to have fallen back into my old habit from sophomore year of college where I come up from the subway and have lost my orientation, and can’t tell which way is North or South. I personally find this extra-frustrating, as I’m usually so good at keeping track of such things. Hopefully it’ll come back to me as I get used to how these subway stations work.
Finally, Mini Pizza Review #1: Grimaldi’s Pizza – great! I think I really liked the cheese.
