Things

1. Do not walk too close along the sides of buildings. Most air conditioners aren't installed properly, and fall from stories above to kill people without warning.

2. Brooklyn--"Yes, but I'm pretty on the inside."

3. Always carry a bag. You must be prepared because you have nothing but your legs in this city. You can only be part of it; you don't control anything.

4. Midtown/Theatre district pizza--$6.00 slice.

Anywhere else--$2.50 slice.

5. Public transportation = gift of time for reading. Anna Karenina, I'm fucking finishing you.

6. It's hard to explain how strong my Californian pride is, even though this has been always been my favorite city.
