Yesterday I went to Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York to visit my sister. We went to eat at the grocery store deli (within view of the Statue of Liberty), walked to the Key Lime Pie Guy store where I got a frozen chocolate dipped key lime pie on a stick. It was delicious! We then went to find used books and walked all around. We later went out to the Bait and Tackle and the Hook and Anchor and I sang kareoke late at night. We had so much fun!
I have interviewed with both the NYU Law Library and the NYPL. This week is the waiting game. I am still reading William T. Vollmann’s Europe Central and will then start The Savage Detectives. In the meantime… here are some passages from All the King’s Men by Robert Penn Warren. (From when I read it back before the days of blogs)
“How life is strange and changeful, and the crystal is in the steel at the point of fracture, and the toad bears a jewel in its forehead, and the meaning of moments passes like the breeze that scarecely ruffles the leaf of the willow.”
and
“There is nothing like a good book to put you to sleep with the illusion that life is rich and meaningful.”
Can’t wait to start something new.

We got out of the subway at Broadway and Lafayette. I wanted to find this french fry place called Pomme Frites that sells just french frys with different sauces. We walked around to find 2nd ave. not too far away and all of a sudden there was the french fry place. Walked back up 2nd ave and turned left. trying to get “up” the map to the prince/spring/crosby area to go to Housing Works. Walked in a “huge messed up semi-circle” for a long time and finally found it. It was closed because they were shooting a movie there. Found St. Mark’s Bookstore instead and it was way fancy and expensive. Kept walking “up” the map to the right and where to we end up? Back outside of Pomme Frites on 2nd ave. Now explain to me how we got back there, right?
