Isn't It a Shame?

Sorry for the lack of posts...I don't really have internet access here in NY - long story. Hopefully next week I'll have a bit more connectivity.

So far I've mostly been pretty tame...I'm staying in Brooklyn, and working in Manhatten and Queens(which is a FULL hour away by subway). I haven't ventured out much from the neighborhood I'm staying in...

I went adventuring a bit yesterday trying to find somewhere for lunch. The weather was nice, so I ventured outside of my usual comfort zone(about a one block radius around where I'm staying). I ended up going further than planned and got a little disoriented. I eventually found my way back home no problem though, and stayed in until dinner....I checked out a sushi place, but it wasn't anywhere near as good as Asahi, the place that Dave and I go to in Toronto. It was really expensive(like $8-$12 for ONE roll!), and only "reasonably tasty".

I've been playing a lot of SSX3, this snowboarding game on xBox. For any one that doesn't know, I'm staying in basically my boss' apartment. He happens to have a HUGE tv(
Today I went exploring. I saw the World Trade Centre, which really is just a big hole in the ground. But it was still really quite moving. I've noticed lately that I'm much more effected emotionally by death/tragedy/sacrifice and this was no exception.

Then I went to see the statue of liberty, which was nice but nothing overly impressive. I just saw it from shore though, so maybe its more imposing if you're actually right up next to it. I was more impressed by a lot of the old building in new york itself...huge old buildings like city hall etc. I think old fashioned construction/architecture had such attention for detail...new buildings pale in comparison.
