regular life
Man, I definitely got sick from all the subways in New York...but aside from that, here's what happened over break!
-Visited my Dad, with Gilly.
-Chilled out on Staten Island on Thursday, mainly watching QI and making food (I made a total of 3 batches of scones over the course of the break)
-Went into Manhattan on Black Friday for some reason. It was rather overwhelming. But. Gilly wanted to go to the Disney store which was all right. Then we stopped by a Christmas market in Union Square. Ate food at a hummus place and afterwards my dad went into one of the sketchy video stores that I refused to enter and bought me the 25th anniversary of Evil Dead II.
-Saturday, visited The Cloisters. A monastery (I...think) that was imported into the city by some rich guy who felt like collecting old things. Very pretty, high up on a hill next to the river. Very crowded though! Much more than the first time I went. But still nice. More good food afterwards
-Watched more British tv!
-Dyed my hair blue again (well, in a patchy sort of way) and hesitantly let my dad trim my hair--turned out just fine but...well, it feels weird to be 20 years old and still have my dad cut my hair sometimes.
And now I am home, or have been since last night.
Meanwhile, our house doesn't have any running water. D: Our landlord covers the bills for that and apparently missed the last one in a move, so they shut it off. But he called me earlier full of apologies and promises of gift cards to make up for it. He says it should be back by tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, and I really, really hope it is.
Also, one of the dudes from Cinema messaged me about having a movie night...We're discussing what to watch at the mo'
He's the same guy who leant me a bunch of horror/zombie movies last year that I never got around to watching (except for a few). And he's a pretty chill guy, so hopefully this will be a positive experience rather than a painfully awkward one.
