slip and trip and lights and vegas


I was running down the stairs to get in my subway train since it was there with open doors. its humid and a damp out. There was an old lady turning the corner to come up the stairs but i didnt see her until i went down all the stairs, so when i tried to stop my momentum was too high and i slipped on the slippery platform and took the poor old woman down with me.

She was so startled! I asked her if she was ok, she just glared at me. The conductor was holding the doors open for me, so i got up and ran into the subway, opened my bag, took out The Great Gatsby and read until I got to work.

So funny.


Last night Marisa and I researched flights and hotels for our Vegas weekend in April.


then we went down to Mercury Lounge to see Lights:

but it was sold out and we had to go home.

bummer.

I have to be part of a K-Swiss focus group after work today. woo!

Devi


Tonight Allison, Matt and I went to Devi for Restaurant Week. Indian food. It was so good. And the service was great.

Then Matt came to Trader Joes and Strand with me. I got 3 books:

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
(which I was looking for, quite loudly, and couldn't find. Went to the info guy and he said they were all upstairs in storage. I said I'd come back. Then some guy who heard me be loud about my search found it, and found me later in the bookstore and gave it to me!!!! how nice!)

A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby

and

Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell because I love The Tipping Point

I started reading A Long Way Down on the subway and I'm excited for it.
