back in nyc
so as of tomorrow morning i am going to be in NYC. i return the 18th. see you guys.
it is going to be most spectacular and i am already getting ginger into my system. ginger, please be the airplanesickness cure to end all airplanesickness cures, because i bought four different varieties of ginger-based snacks (tea, chewable tablets, snaps, wierd toffee candy things). and i intend to use all four. if it works for the mythbusters, goddammit it will work for me.
or, y'know, whatever.
have packed copious notebooks and four cameras. 1 for everyday snappage (has some autoexposure if necessary, focuses faster + better, is a cute little seventies rangefinder), 1 for dagmar-ness (is dagmar the nikonian wonder, takes gorgeous pictures, is probably my best friend, good for things that will stay still for around 15 seconds, will take to places like the tibetan museum's grounds etc etc), and two for polaroidosity (1 that is cheap and lame and 1 that is a holgaroid; both coming exclusively for the sunday we leave, when i am going to wake up early and take dreamy little pictures because i have too much polaroid film right now.)
so now you see the extent to which i am bringing too many cameras. please note that i own many more cameras than this. oh, thrift store orphan cameras, please stop with your puppy dog eyes.
i am sorry i went on for so long about cameras, but my brain went into HAVE I PACKED EVERYTHING???!?!?!?!? mode.
will spend an entire day working on novella in central park. will spend that same evening watching a macbeth directed by moises kaufman. mmmmmm.
anyway, i'll be back, and you can probably live without me and everything...
