Home from the Big Apple

I went to New York City, and I had a great time, and I had a camera! In no particular order, I lost (and found) my day planner, forgot my PIN and found myself at Penn Station with about $0.06 and a credit card, discovered my cell phone recharger was 200 miles away on Sunday night, walked most of the way up Fifth Ave next to Central Park, criss-crossed Midtown, left Forbidden Planet unscathed, then visited the Strand; saw a tiny bit of the beautiful New York Humanity and Social Sciences library (the 5th Ave branch), completely failed to make it to any museums; did karaoke and Rock Band with limnrix and friends; caught up with scifantasy, and took a nap on the southbound bus before finishing my cheerful holiday reading. I owe limnrix and scifantasy huge thanks for rearranging their weekends to see me.

Things Other Than Travel

Good news: I'm unpacked and caught up on LJ. Dear Anonymous, thanks for the v-bear.

Bad news: my homework still needs to be done. There's only so much you can do on the bus. Ngh.

Everyone in the house is taking a class or studying for exams this semester. M. and H. want to do roommate study night. The degree to which I loathe this suggests it would be good for me.

Periodic table of elephants? Oh, that looks awesome.
