As I approach my first two weeks in New York City all I can tell you is that it has been an almost complete and utter disaster. I have had to my laptop die on me twice. The second time it happened, the laptop fell off my desk onto the floor shattering the plasma screen. I had to shell out money that I don't really have to buy a new one. Did I mention I am still unemployed? I don't think I have cried that hard in well. . .since my stepdad died. Its just a laptop you would say but this city and life in general was hover over me dauntingly shouting "STAY DOWN, JUST STAY DOWN". So on the 4th of July I entered a new level of consumer debt. Its the most American thing I could do. I hear that some of our friends have it worst than me so I'll stop complaining. If you look at some of these photos of us hanging out you will find it hard to believe that I was having a bad time at all. Its amazing what a little booze will do for you.
