I Haven't Even Met You Yet!

Wow, it's been a week and no update! Things are good in the Big City, except that it's SO HOT. My NH-thermostated body cannot take this oppressive heat. Remind me never to live in Houston, OK?

The illustrious Mickleohb came to visit this weekend, which was a blast. We did a lot of lounging in various parks and the like. Even went to Times Square voluntary (!!) which is something unusal for me and Wes.

Oh, NYC. You are so shiny and bright.


The flags at Rockefeller Center.


There's a restaurant/bar down here when there's not an ice skating rink, and it looks really appealing to me. Why? No idea. Chances are it's overpriced and fairly mediocre. I think the sunkenness makes it look exclusive...I think I'll have to go there eventually.

Ben, Wes, and I ventured deep into the heart of Chinatown to explore Dumpling House, where you can get 4 dumplings for a dollar. THAT'S AMAZING. The dumplings were great but everything else was eh. Wes got hot soy bean SOUP which was very intense. My sesame pancake with beef was not good at all. But 4 dumplings for a DOLLAR? We'll be back, you can bet your hat on it.

Now we're pooped from a day of long subway rides and getting lost in Central Park.

How's everyone else?

Edit: The meaning of the title was never explained, and it's so awesome. Ben, Wes, and I were sitting on the desk yesterday, just talking, and there were two parties going on at the apartment two buildings over from us- one on the roof, and one on the deck at the same floor as us. The people from both parties started talking, the typical, "OMG come down!" "No you come up!" etc. They seemed fairly well-acquainted...and then the girl who lived on the top floor was like, "I haven't even met you yet!" OK...the story doesn't seem great, but it was awesome.
