I slept fitfully AGAIN last night, annoying as it happens a lot out on the island, not sure why??? Anyhow after waking to see Morpheus off at some ridiculous hour I dozed back off again until around 8:30am when I was woken to the sounds of drilling and banging from next door, PLUS the fucking birds. Yeah I know that sounds terrible, as birds are a beautiful animal that should be cherished and well cared for.....not these birds, jesus they are the noisiest fuckers I've ever heard. Actually though for you to feel sorry for me you have to realise that these weren't nice tweety pie birds...NO, these were big black crows all conversing with each other at a very loud witchy high pitch. It's a scary sound when there's about 6 of them doing it. A may have to purchase a weapon of some sort, either a german revolver I think or maybe a sling shot as in David and Goliath...that would do it
Ok so this afternoon I met up with Dana Wallace, a Fire Island Realtor who is a man with a girls name. He sounded really gruff when I spoke with him this morning, but he's actually very nice (just as Josie said he would be). He talked to me about what sort of properties I was looking to rent next year, prices, location etc. THEN we went off on our bicycles to view the houses. This was great fun as Dana kept speeding off and diving in between couples walking by. I, on the other hand nearly ran over some fat kid and ploughed into the back of a woman's push chair, very embarrassing but loads of fun. He showed me about 5 houses and all of them were really cool, in fact I've already picked one (in my head) but will talk with Morpheus about it. It has a huge roof deck on top which you can see the beach from...seriously cool house. I only want to share with another couple next year as it's too much hassle to deal with a lot of people. Also I want it for the whole summer not every other weekend, which you then have to deal with the shit from the other sharers, as previously mentioned within these pages......
So we shall see, I'm going to try and speak with Morpheus about it tonight, but I know he won't be interested in talking about it, he never is until the month before summer....too late then I'm afraid, these babies go real quick.
The beach was absolutely glorious today, not a sole on it, well not that I could see. I nearly yet again threw caution to the wind and stripped off my top, but then I bottled it and kept it on, not that it's worth it as the top is so skimpy it's not worth having on at all. I think by the end of summer I will have two white strips on my chest which will represent my nipples and the rest of my boob which to be honest is not that much anyway
Not sure what to do this evening, I should go for a run as I haven't since last Thursday but unfortunately I got the curse today so feeling a little bit frumpy and bloaty so probably won't. I was hoping to first thing tomorrow but the Time Warner guy is coming back AGAIN to exchange the box, so no doubt will end up waiting in all morning for him again....not good!!
This evening I'm going to rent Erin Brocovich (if it's in) as I quite fancy it. I also really want to see "The Cell" as it opened this weekend, looks really good...
Ok so I've just got back to the city after getting caught red-handed by a New York Police Office trying to walk through the gate in the subway WITHOUT paying. God how embarrassing, he was a sweetie though, asked my why I would do such a thing, to which I replied "that I was just overwhelmed by all the human traffic banging into me, and that a huge fat man had stood on my foot, and that I was pretty fed', but that I was extremely sorry and should never of tried to sneak through". This seemed to satisfy him, he smiled, asked where I was from and then let me go....phew, lucky one for me. I think he thought I was a tourist due to my accent, my rucksack and computer bag...what a nice chap. Take it from me people, don't try it, there lurking everywhere.......
OK Kiwi Boy sorry for the mess on my page, not sure why it's acting up so much.
