May 23, 24 : New York City

So i havent done much today. museum of natural history, which took up all the daylight, and chicago at night, which was positively awesome.

nyc is a busy city. you can hardly tell from the surface. it’s almost subtle… people wait for the light on the road, instead of on the sidewalk. there’s so little patience. it almost reminds me of home, where public transit is usually this harsh forbidding congregation of bits of personal space in too small a cabin.

Dino Skeletons, Museum of Natural History, Manhattan, NY

The museum was awesome but too little in the way of.. “live” stuff. everything’s stuffed so it was like walking through someone’s huge trophy game collection. =/ dinosaurs were awesome but the section was closed for some talk, can you believe it?!

Ambassador Theatre, Manhattan, NY

Chicago was awesome! I got the rush tickets in the morning at 11 in the morning for 36.50.. about half of the price of the guys sitting next to me. At these prices I might actually try for avenue Q tomorrow! woots woots. ruthie henshall was excellent, it was a surprise to learn that she would be playing roxie. :D

after the musical i decided to get some pictures of times square. if only because the ones i took in the day are so abjectly horrible. not that this is any better, but still.

Times Square, Manhattan, NYC.

Such a long day, and i’ve barely finished half of manhattan! goodness. so much more sights to see tomorrow. lol…
