Things to Remember

From the Inspiration Files

I'm adding more and more everyday to my "must have" decoration list. I'm going to need 5 houses to accommodate my wants & needs... which include:

Want. Want. Want. 

The Car Debate

2 years ago I bought a 3-year phone plan and 5 months later took off on an European adventure then moved to Australia for a year. Terrible planning on my part. I can barely keep a phone plan (I now have a number from my home city, not the one I am currently in) in order. Since arriving back in this country, I see the need for a car, but it seems that I'm never in one place for long enough to necessitate a vehicle. I imagine if I buy one tomorrow, I will move somewhere obscure (I hope!).

Someone posted this video on Twitter about having a vehicle:

Say what you will, live sans vehicle sort of-- for lack of better words--sucks. And watching this video really adds fuel to the fire. I realize it's completely absurd, but today on my train trip back here, driving would have knocked at least 2 hours off my time. But then again, cabs, trains and borrowing cars works too? Maybe?

Is it time to grow up and get a car?

Playing Tourist

I arrived in the city mid-day and landed mid-town. The Marriott Marquis was quite lovely: 45 floors and elevators that felt like the tower of terror. Turns out that my fear of elevators and heights was re-sparked on the elevators that were all glass. Scary. I landed a great room on the 39th floor and looked out to Times Square-- so many people in such a small place. Don't get me wrong, I've been before, I just think the city has a million better places than this tourist trap. But as they say... when in Rome:

I had my camera in my bag the entire time, yet it didn't seem to make an appearance until I went to Tom's Restaurant and then again on my final day. I spent Friday walking. And then more walking and finally, a little more walking (and about the same in shopping). I went to my favourite restaurant Bondi Road although I think I'll have to wait a while to go back now... oops. And went to see Chicago (how have I never seen this before?). Add in some great food, some more shopping (5 scarves for me and a cute dress  for one of my sisters) and a few photos and it was a great weekend away. 

I'm going to live there.

Highlight: Monk's Cafe

My super-geeky life is made.
