dont pay the extra $1 at the coney island sideshow

its sunday and im very ready to just sit and read and listen to music. (and quickbooks.) tomorrow will be interesting. hopefully in a good way.

i fell asleep by 1030 last night. too much excitement for me from the previous 24 hours. my neighbors are vacuuming again. coney island was the strangest experience ive had here. the boardwalk was full of elderly all dressed up sitting on the benches, children biking/blading/skateboarding, multiple languages, & so on. i liked it. some of the benches were surrounded by sand and therefore acted more like a beach lawn chair. it seemed strange to me but perfectly natural for those using them. it was quite nice - the beach, the temperature, the time of day (5/6). the fear of falling through the boardwalk, being half above and half below. the trash laid politely on the ground next to the overflowing cans. the obvious decrepit nature of the entire adventureland area. the sideshow? just funny. the view from the ferris wheel at sunset! wonderful. im still unable to put my finger on why it was so strange.

and the night before was just random. and ridiculous. too many things. too many surprises. too many drinks. there was a driver involved. i really dont feel like talking about it. but, i really liked: buttermilk. ill go again.

spring in new york is nice.
