A City of Justice, A City of Love

Whew. I'm back from an AMAZING trip to New York City. Waking up for work this morning has rendered me comatose and largely unable to string a sentence together, but here are a few highlights:

1) If you are at all a fan of the show, go see Strangers With Candy. It's no grand work of comedic art, but it's consistently funny with a few fall-over-laughing moments. Definitely better than any comedy a Wilson brother is throwing at you this summer.

2) Vintage store workers in SoHo are the nicest people ever. Well, not really. But compared to the affectations of bitchiness that most vintagey clerks give off, it was very delightful.

3) Wow for art. Those museums are incredible.

4) The weather? She is HOT. So very hot. And I'm not feeling much relief back in Michigan either.

5) Mmm, cannoli.

6) Sushi restaurants are still good even when only ordering drinks and no sushi.

7) Mmm, bellinis.

8) Seriously, I leave my computer and internets for four days and come back only to find I missed the awesomest Mel G. act of atrocity EVER.

There's lots of other good times to mention, but I think part of me just melted, so I should attend to that.

I actually just read something recently that said of all big cities in the world, New York is one of the most polite, as a whole.

Now, I can't help but wonder about whether or not they took into account that different cultures view different things as polite, but it's still a nice thought for the Big Apple. :)

Yeah! I was definitely impressed. Everyone who we asked for directions was super nice, too.
