words of my neighborhood
given to grumbly growling
and big happy grins.

eclectic personal ramblings
unchecked verbosity
ruminations and pondering

why does the sock monkey love it so?

It seemed somehow that politicians were very important. And yet, anything seemed important about them except their politics.

what do you do in princeton?


As part of the ongoing Chinese fire drill that is our merger, I "get" to visit the outgoing parent company's headquarters in New York next week. Correction: not quite. I'm not going to Manhattan, but Princeton. I really wanted Manhattan.

What do you do in Princeton? I can't think of anything other than "drive to the city and find something to do there". That's the plan I'm going with, assuming I can get approval for a rental car I can take to Manhattan.

Failing that, maybe park at the ferry and take the ferry? Or is there a regular train to/from Princeton?

Whatever. I bloody well intend to make the most of it. My missions include: catch Ida and/or Dan Littleton shows if there are any while I am there, visit Kinokuniya bookshop for cool manga/anime stuff, attempt to hang out with ex-roomie Phil if I can get in touch with him, and maybe attempt to locate and chill with Kyle Fischer, who was in my high school class and is now an indie rock star living in Brooklyn (he's in Rainer Maria).

I probably know other people in the area, so New Yorkers, if you know me and you're reading this, drop me a line and we'll meet up next week.

While I'm gone, site updates may be sparse to non-existent. I'll bring back stories and pictures, though.

Princeton. Did I mention that mergers suck?
