In The City

Yesterday Davie and I spent the day in the city ... and we had such a great time ...

David had an interview with a head hunter at 10 so we took the train up there really early and took a cab to the office and David headed upstairs looking all dapper in his suit ... while I headed across the street to Barnes and Noble ...

I hung out and read through the knitting books ... I really want to teach myself how but after looking through the books I don't know if it is something I can really teach myself ... so I am thinking of taking a class ... anyway back to everything that went on yesterday ...

so the city was weird ... after I left the book store I wandered around and took pictures of posters and stuff in the windows of the store ... everywhere I looked there were flyers hanging up of missing people ... and American flags ... and pictures of the World Trade Center ... it was sad and inspiring all at the same time ... there is such a renewed sense of patriotism it is remarkable ...

after David got out of his interview we went to Starbucks ... got some coffee ... he changed out of his suit ... then we caught a cab and headed to the village ...

Davie got a new pair of sunglasses [shown in the picture above] and we went to this super groovy store called 'Love Saves the Day' ... it was so cool ... there was tons of stuff from the 50's through the 80's ... there were awesome KISS dolls ... a bitchen Yellow Submarine lamp that I wish we could have bought ... the stuff in there was just so amazing ... every kitschy thing you can think of ... I bought a couple of packs of I Love Lucy trading cards ...

then we went to lunch at this great BBQ place and went walking ... we stopped at Urban Outfitters where I got an awesome star necklace and these cute clip things that sit on your desk and you can put notes or pictures or whatever in them ... after walking a bit we caught a cab back to Penn station and headed home ...

it really was a fantastic day and what we both needed ... getting out of the house ... walking around ... having fun with each other ... it has been sometime ...

the city was weird ... the buildings were amazingly dusty ... you could still see puffs in the sky when I was sitting outside smoking waiting for David ... and although people are getting on with their life ... there is a sad look in everyone's eyes ... but at the same time everyone seems to be more connected to each other ...

it was a very interesting day ... and I am glad we were able to experience it together ...
