my mother is ruining her credit record.
I keep offering to pay for some stuff.. but she just won't hear of it. she's dropped about 900$ on stuff for college... and I'm freaking out.
yesterday we meandered around chelsea and the lower east side for a while, then my mother wanted to look at the financial district. so we went and saw the WTC and emotions were iffy and stuff was depressing blah blah blah..
we came back and cleaned up a bit, since yesterday was still a little overcast. after that I met up with
fifthestate (who has nice galoshes) and she took me downtown to the best fucking thai food I've ever had in my life. jay is a good kid. we had fun and green tea parfait. I also discovered it was lechee season when we ordered lechee mimosas. I love lechees. more than anything.
enough to buy 5lbs worth when we went to chinatown today. we took a culinary tour, kinda, eating at about a billion places. I introduced my mother to the wonders of chinese/japanese candy and baking, as evidenced to the dozen boxes of various pocky she purchased. I also got shoes... lots and lots of shoes.
I think we're going back downtown tonight.
fifthestate is supposed to call me, I think.... (or am I to call her? I always forget these things) about a realistics show at the bowery ballroom. until then I need to rest. and look at all. these. shoes.
