i am back from new york, and have successfully survived 2 days without internet access.

new york was awesome. i got to see a large subset of the people i know in nyc: akshay,

flyakate,

rhymester, my brother, my cousin, my cousin's ex girlfriend... i missed one of my cousins (mostly coz i did'nt remember she lived there), but next time i'm out there, i'll look her up too. i also got to see dinosaurs! and egyptian hieroglyphs! and chatted with the only cupcake bouncer in the city.

i'm a little terrified of the fact that everyone i talked to about nyc was sort of like "it grinds you under its foot". i'm not sure that i could stand (or afford!) to live there, but it's a nice place to visit. there's some thought that i'll go back in october!! but maybe it'll be later.

my brother's puppy, of whom i don't have any pictures, is really cute. also insane, but that seems to be the trend with all the dogs my family has. :)

i think it takes a certain sort of person to live in NYC for a lengthy period of time, though i also think that many people would probably benefit from living there short-term. i was actually terribly sad when i determined i didn't like Columbia's M.A. program, because i would've loved to have lived in NYC for a couple of years (though i'm glad i went to Stanford instead, of course).

you got to hit up a museum? :) glad you had some downtime in NYC...sounds like you managed transportation just fine too. how *is* your dog doing anyway?
