raybearI used this phrase in my head for almost a week, and then I suddenly started saying out loud. Thank you New York and DC. I'm happy to have a weird ass idiosyncratic saying that did NOT come from tv, movies, or music.
I am home. I've been home for almost 36 hours, though Monday seemed like a lost day since I was traveling from about 11 am to 6:30 pm -- car to metro to bus to plane to train to bus. That's a lot of public and private transport. I felt like Jimmy Stewart from the Lost Weekend except I wasn't drunk, just sleep-deprived.
A quick recap. I may write more specific posts as incidents come up, but I need more coffee, plus I have tons of work e-mails to go through.
Number of people I hung out with in NYC and DC: 30
Number of them on Livejournal (that I know of): 18
Number of days I was gone: 11
Number of hours slept during this time: Never more than 7 per night, some nights closer to 4 or 5
Number of beds I slept in: 5
Number of times I got drunk: 2
Number of movies I saw: 4 (all in the theater)
Number of DVDs I purchased: 5
Number of comic books I purchased: Too many to count -- mostly because I picked up several packages and collections from bargain bins
Special thanks to the folks who housed me (the Whitehouse Hotel of NY on the Bowery, Tara, Jessie and Phyllis, Joe and Vinnie, Tara's friend Emily). Extra special thanks to Myles for checking our mail and taking care of my young pup.
And of course, extra gratitude to MelRo for taking me back after I arrived home.
