a glimpse of sharon world...

mid-trip update

i think out of all the days here in NYC, today has been the most unproductive. so far it's been spent sleeping (got up at around 11 something), listening to liz's music, surfing the internet, and trying to decide whether or not to splurge in an ipod. i've been calculating the cost of buying one in canada and buying one here like there's no tomorrow. i even went to find out what the exchange rate for today was. it's 1.3131. :P haha. it's so tempting. it would save me some money to get one here rather than buy one in canada...and they just came out with a new version! i'm still going back and forth with the whole idea. *sigh* we'll see.

i went to the metropolitan museum of art (aka "the met") yesterday. i took lots of pictures. but i'll have to upload them back at home. i forgot that usb cable thing at home. piece of crap. ;P i originally intended to go to guggenheim as well (it's just a few blocks north on 5th st.) but it was closed. i walked all the way there in the blistering heat and found out that it was closed every thursday. probably for the better though - i walked the met for 2.5 hours straight (with a 30 sec sit down) and my legs wanted to fall off. ah well. at least i'm getting cultured. haha. so hopefully i'll go to guggenheim today. :) it's raining here anyway so it'll be good to spend it inside...

saw a cinderella story with liz at the amc yesterday and i really liked that movie. it was really cute. i want to buy the dvd when it comes out. :) hahaha oh and then afterwards we walked around times square for like an hour trying to find somewhere to eat. when we finally left the restaurant it was like a little past 12 and there were still so many people in times square. i was pretty suprised - i always thought that when people called new york city the "city that never sleeps" they were just exaggerating. silly me.

anyway, i'm meeting up with my cousin maxine later tonight after she gets off work. then we're gonna hang out and later on meet up with lizhead and eat together! (something about a rice pudding resaturant. hmmm. never tried that before.) i haven't seen maxine since Christmas so it'll be nice to see her again. hopefully i'll get to see my "dai-eee-ma" too. :)

okay! so that's the update so far. i'm hungry, so i'm gonna go make my swiss cheese and turkey breast sandwich for lunch. (i've had one everyday for lunch since i've been here.) ha! you laugh now, but i'm saving a lot of money on lunches by making my own! and food is bling bling here. :P anyway the bread, meat and cheese are calling me now. bye! :)
