I am reading! I still don’t know how to pronounce many words but reading is COOL.

typical day at the empire state building

I have no Idea why the sound is doing what It does

rooftop time is here!

The Rooftop Season started officially yesterday night. I remember long, hot summer nights up here, where we would meet friends, open a bottle of wine and enjoy life. We got a huge airbed with nice linens, a small table, some cheese and wine and the plan for this year is to buy a hookah over on Steinway Street. I hear Cherry flavored tobacco is good!?!?

The GERMAN TOURIST group 

It’s a thing which goes on for years now: I’m posting on the german NYC message board. People chat with each other, usually you can say after 2 posts if they are fun or just different, anyway…. Once in a while I’m asked to go out with some “tourists” in the City for a drink and some food, what I always like to do. I think it’s very interesting because you get to know people from all different ages, backgrounds, people with the most different interests. Seriously, from the stylish looking 20 year old to the middle aged birkenstock wearing bavarian dude - everything can happen! Turnes out they are ALWAYS very nice. Seriously, after chatting you usually know already what kind of people will come along

Anyway, Wednesday night it was very spontanious. Sean and me decided to join a group at Jackson Hole Diner and we took them down to Bleecker Street afterwards. Let me tell you, we had a blast!! We walked over Washington Square Park where a group of people was jamming: They played “Papa was a rolling stone” by the Temptations and we all got one of these “New York Moments”. Yes, I clearly had a Moment.  At the Red Lion we were listening to some life music and than we went to the Baggot Inn where they had Bluegrass Jam session with the Sheriff. Everybody in the group told me how much fun they had and let me tell you: I HAD FUN TOO!

Stevens Passport Application

Since that day Steven stopes by a couple of times a week. All day long he is working on papers he wants to send to “THE government”. Right now it’s his passport application. Turnes out the letter I wrote him last week wasn’t good enough, I had to do it again this week. He is very, veeery particular about small things like writing a “+1″ ahead of his phone number or mentioning the date at least 2 times. Also, just a signature won’t do, I have to write it out: Signature (doublepoint) - and than he signes. The last days he started asking for money. I won’t give him any. Yesterday he started arguing about that with no luck. Well, we see…. I would like to help him but he needs more than a Dollar once in a while.

commuting is like having a dejavu

 - twice a day!

It’s unbelievable, It’s the first day (well, the second) of Videobloggingweek 2008 and I already feel pressure!!!  The frist video I posted is not really creative :-() but I won’t loose the hope of coming up with something incredible All day yesterday I tried to put a voice over on a video I took on my commute - the only problem is that i hate my voice! Maybe I’m thinking too much about it…. sometimes simple is better!

Anyway, I don’t give up yet. We will see tonight after work.

welcome niamh!
