A bit at loose ends
Wednesday, September 21st, 2011 01:07 amThere's an ice cream truck that sporadically takes up residence down the block in the late afternoon. Mercifully, its beepy little tunes actually comprise quite a nice repertoire, ranging from "Für Elise" and "Greensleeves" to "Moon River" to "Morning Has Broken" and "The Sound of Silence"...
But last time I absoutely swear heard it playing "Dona Dona". A Jewish folk song about a calf being led to slaughter? Really? I mean, really?
Only in NYC, I guess.
( ... You guys, I'm actually starting to get a little bored here in week 3. )
On the plus side, today I went out and had a nice lunch date with
justom's sister-in-law, who was passing through Midtown, and then I walked around and window-shopped (successfully getting all the fun of trying on clothes without actually succumbing to buying anything). And I got a library card, which means many more new books and DVDs in my immediate future.
And don't forget we have our housewarming this Sunday night!
And now I think it's really bedtime.
