realizations of the day
- kashi golean crunch! (tm) gives me major gas...
- ... and i always thought it was a sudden case of lactose intolerance.
- chiquita bananas from gristedes never lose their green color...
- ... though they turn brown and exhibit an odd greenish-brown hue.
- the upper west side has some ghetto bars where homeless people wander in...
- ... and if said homeless people hit on your friend, you should pretend to be her bf.
- 72nd st crosstown bus doesn't run from 1-4am...
- ... but the 86th st bus does, 3 times from 1-2am!

syncronicity
i had my moment of syncronity rushing to work this morning on my 25 min commute.
it started in the subway station at 96th st where i start my commute: a subway musician was playing "besame mucho" on the guitar while singing in tenor voice. at my transfer, i came down the stairs to the platform at 59th/lex. an old man was serenading on his violin the same song, "besame mucho," while a man leaning on a nearby staircase sighed con gusto, "besame mucho!" dropping a few coins in the man's donation bag. and at the end of the platform, near the end of pre-walk to the back of the train, a clarinetist was lost in his own improvised version of the same song, "besame mucho." three musicians, one song.
are all the subway musicians conspiring to tell me something? or is this a song that all of them play repeatedly at this time of year? you can probably tell what's playing on my ipod right now.
