Turn Here?

Yesterday I took my brother into NYC to drive for the first time. He had something that he needed to take care of and Mom doesn't trust him driving on the Jersey side, so she really wasn't good to let him drive in NYC. She asked me to sort of babysit. Be his personal driver for lack of a better way to put it. I agreed on the condition that I get paid for the time away from work that I missed. It was the best deal I've ever made in my life. I have often said that I would not like to live in the city, I think I've changed my mind. I would love to live in the city as long as I lived in a good neighborhood (maybe the Village) and I didn't have a car. I love the pace of the city. It's like Jersey, but faster and angrier, without the amazing guzzling of gas.

We started out by going to the doctor's office where R. was to have spots on his skin looked at, just in case they might be cancerous. I sat in the car and mooched off someone else's wireless signal to apply for jobs. Then we dropped by the photo place so that he can prints to turn into modelling agencies. He's going to be famous one day. It turned out that the prints were going to take two hours to put together so lucky us, we got to drive around NYC and go to Joe's Pizza, which Mom introduced to us a very long time ago. It's sort of tradition for our family; go into the city, get a slice at Joe's, go to Rocco's and gte cannoli/chocolate mousse/iced coffee/ or whatever else your sweet tooth desires. Sadly we didn't have time to go to Rocco's yesterday, but we did have time to talk to each other, to argue about politics, to discuss current affairs, and to generally bond again. It was a very good day in the city, and what could be better than that? Oh yeah, getting paid as if I was at work for going into the city instead!

Later on, I., Mom, R., and I got chinese food from a place called Tina Louise. It's amazing, and tastes so good. Then I. and I went over to hers and I got to really try my new reading glasses. Oh yeah, I forgot! My new reading glasses. I have never had glasses before and always sort of wanted them. Well now I have them because I'm straining my left eye ball. My vision is still perfect, but would start to fail if I didn't take the proper precaution, so I will wear glasses when reading or working on a computer. I look rather dorky, almost like I should laugh through my nose and be a bit of a social recluse. But that's ok, it will balance my "I'm too sexy for this..." side. Ha.
