Arghhhhhhhhh....
Living in New York is awesome because there is so much to do, but at the same time, all the awesome events cost MONEY. Admittedly, my parents have never told me to worry, really, except that I have it ingrained in me to be somewhat thrifty from my dad and to spend money on what I want from my mother, which combines to become me: a spender who experiences excessive guilt after spending. Oh goodness, and have I been spending a lot of money!
There is one person who owes me a lot of money, though, so I'm thinking I should ask her for it. But on the other hand, I don't feel like I NEED the money, and therefore, I shouldn't ask for it, because I have no urgent need. But I still ought to ask for it, right?
Okay, this is a pretty pointless entry. I just did some accounting, so I'm feeling guilty. But my dad did compliment me on my thriftiness, so I suppose I'm okay. I saw this beautiful coat today, though, at United Colors and I really really wanted to buy it. It cost $100 or so. But I didn't buy it.
So I rewarded myself with a Godiva chocolate bar.
Listening to DJ Dangermouse's Grey Album. All in all, pretty sweet. You ought to try and find a copy before the recording companies do their bitch thing and get it taken down.
Have a ton of books from the library to read through, so I'm very happy. I suppose it's good that I'm more of an indoor person, cause otherwise I would be clubbing and drinking all the time, which would cost even more moolah.
Went to Sleeping Beauty, and I looooved it. Didn't feel sleepy, not once. I loved it because I knew the story. I know the story because my dad bought me the cd/book set when I was younger and I remember reading through it and listening to the music. So familiarity breeds heart-ness.
Sometimes I feel like I repeat myself on here. But I suppose I echo what I write in my personal journal, so.. if you notice that I do repeat, well, good for you.
Shopped today at South Street Seaport, which made me feel like I was in Seattle/Sydney hybrid. It was impeccably clean with high glassy new buildings (very Sydney-ish) and we faced the ocean and smelled fish (very Seattle). Beautiful. And I loved feeling like I wasn't in New York.
Oooh, and yesterday I got to watch the final dress rehearsal of Don Giovanni at the Met, which was sooooo amazing. It's a new production there, so we were among the first to see it. And we had seats in the Grand Parterre, which are the best seats in the house. I really love Don Giovanni as well, as Mozart is a genius and it was actually funny! I missed the last half because I had a ton of errands to run, but from what I saw... it's a winner!
Time to order me some dinner.
