Frank Sinatra wasn't kidding

Because New York City is so close, we usually make a trip up here about once a year. This year we've decided to stay for two days, which I cannot say I regret--considering everything I've seen today.

The list of things I've seen today include, but are not limited to the following:

• Spiderman
• Guy peeing on a tree in Central Park
• Way too many dudes in v-neck shirts. Seriously.
• Some of the coolest glass Victorian knick knacks in an awesome flatware store where my mom bought square plates with what we thought were cats on them but were actually owls, but I'm not convinced.
• Alice in Wonderland dishes--with the Lewis Carroll illustrations. I don't even LIKE Lewis Carroll and I thought they were awesome.
• "The most useless item" (A purple glass brick press/ paper weight) in the aforementioned store, as pointed out by the really cool guy that informed us that he had an ex-boyfriend that went to school in Utah.
• "Black guys that can dance... We will not stab you!" (Their words, not mine)
• The little Asian toddler that decided he could dance like a black guy too.
• An awesome kid that could juggle and ride a unicycle.
• A guy in a pedicab that stopped to antagonize my sister by reading her shirt (I Didn't Do It) and proceeded to tell us that he didn't do it either. Repeatedly.
• A bum with a sign that read something like "Need money for Booze, Drugs, and Hooker (hey, at least I ain't BSing you)"
• WAY TOO MANY Michael Jackson t-shirts
• John Lennon's Imagine circle.
• Two cars that nearly hit me; one that honked at me even though it wasn't going to.
• Hillbilly wrestlers on the TV

Is it any wonder I'm a nutter when this kind of stuff is not only expected, but highly anticipated? Tomorrow we're going to the Manhattan Temple, an art museum, and the first book store we come to, so things should be relatively less weird.

But I won't hold my breath on that one.
