grammargirl*The Museum of Natural History is the COOLEST PLACE EVER. Seriously. And if you wander in an hour before they close, as I did, they don't make you pay. Sweet!
*There's no point in even trying to deny it anymore: Strand Books has officially made me its bitch. I went in there planning on spending less than $10 and ended up spending just over $15. I mean really, could you resist a brand new copy of David Copperfield on sale for $4? I didn't think so. I've decided that as a post-training present to myself at the end of the summer I'm going to spend $20 on a black Strand messenger bag to take to school in the fall.
*You know why I love Union Square? Well, today I sat on the steps eating overpriced but delicious Whole Foods sushi while a bluegrass band composed of three kids about my age created unbelievably awesome music with a banjo, an upright bass (constructed out of a metal washing tub propped precariously on a textbook, a broomstick with a hole drilled through it, and some string) and a variety of metal bowls and pots. The drummer was a hot skinny white boy with a voice like the redheaded stepchild of Louie Armstrong and Tom Waits. Occasionally they would interrupt their music to converse with an old man who had a hook instead of a right hand. Also, there was a homeless guy wandering around dressed up like a king. That is why I love Union Square.
*Wandering around Central Park for a mile or so en route to the Natural History Museum: awesome idea. Doing so in flip flops: not such an awesome idea. At this rate I'm going to have to replace my poor Tevas before the summer's even half over. And possibly my feet as well.
I don't think I did too badly for myself today, all things considered.
I'm considering sucking it up and dyeing my hair tomorrow. The problem with this plan is that I start student teaching on Tuesday and the hair dye I use generally leaves my hair, well, kind of purple for the first several days. I wonder how well purple hair, however temporary, would go over with my principal-to-be...
