Well, here I am in school today, because NYU is cheap with holidays.   
There is an all-around-the-Park tour of Central Park today at 10 that I  
had wanted to go to.  Poo. 
 
Let me take back what I said on Friday, not all used clothes stores are a  
ripoff.  I went to a thrift store on MacDougal at 8th St., and got some  
brown courdoroy pants, green jeans, and a sweater for $8 each!  I'm going  
back there again sometime....Also, bought more books -- two I actually  
needed for studying purposes, then I saw there was a new Dilbert (cartoon)  
book out and a new This Modern World book.  And Shakespeare & Co. is  
having a 20% sale on all hardcovers until Halloween...so I had better stay  
away from there. 
 
I ate extremely well on Saturday, thank you very much, first a sumptuous  
breakfast of spaghetti and related items, then a hearty repast at the  
Dolby's in Yorktown Heights, then at a Tennessee barbecue place in Soho.   
Man, I love onion rings.  Problem was, all that richness got to me on  
Sunday.  I think I was eating carrots and apricots all day. 
 
The weather has been wonderful, in case you're curious, but I wish it  
would decide between warm and cool.  I found out my cousin Wirt works at a  
store that's only two blocks from my apartment, so I've got to bug him  
sometime.  I saw the NYU Fall Dance performance, and it was really cool,  
but I think the dance group at State was just as good.  I think the last  
two pieces were the best, first one called Muezzin (the guy who calls  
people to prayer in Islam) which was a very energetic and then one called  
Fire Journeys, which was inspired by _The Last Temptation of Christ_. 
 
Busy, busy, busy.  I need to go grocery shopping and do my homework and  
loads of other stuff, too.  Something like that. 
 
I'll think about it.
