Procrastinating

I am supposed to be studying Statistics.

Instead I indulged in two Happy Hour margaritas with Amy (drat that Dos Camino's) then wandered in the Manhattan gloaming.

The city was melancholy tonight, tucked under a cushion of fog and almost-rain.   The air shimmered and I, wobbly and peaceful from tequila, slipped my camera from my bag and dove into the mist.

When true darkness falls, the Essex House blazes like fire in red neon.  Or used to.  We bid on an apartment overlooking this sign.  I figured the cost of buying blackout drapes into our offer price.  We were quickly outbid.

You will never discover all of the secret restaurants in this city; if you did, they wouldn't be so secret any more.  But Ben and I have eaten at this one 5 or 6 times ~ once on my birthday.  We saw The Drowsy Chaperon later than evening ~ a perfect New York City night.

I want need these shoes.  The security guard at Fendi caught me taking pictures of them through the display window and I thought I might be in trouble.  Luckily, I can apparently run faster than he can, even when hauling all my textbooks and leftover Minestrone.

Has anyone heard?  Is this move worth my $11?  The previews looked ultra-cheesy, but I want it to be good.  Robert Downey Jr. isn't someone who occurs to me often, but when I do take a moment to contemplate him, I realize he is pure white-hot bad-boy sex.  Which really isn't my thing, but damn.  There's something exceptionally naughty in his voice.  Do you remember how jaunty he was in Ally McBeal?  Somebody tell me Ironman is worth seeing.  I'll keep my standards low.

On the way home.

And a peek into the MOMA Sculpture Garden:

Night has fallen hard.  It's begun to drizzle and the tequila is wearing off.  Time to study.

Thanks for the quick trip around NY. You must have those shoes they have your name on them.
I must admit I know very little about Robert Downey Jr but when he did that lip-synch video for Elton John I went all peculiar!;)

I enjoyed Iron Man, actually. I had low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Plus, I love Robert Downey, jr.

those shoes are amazing!
