Woke up and talked for awhile with Anaise (Anne eye eece), the new roommate. She is an actress from Montreal in town for head shots and dance classes. We had lunch at this cheap Mexican place next door and then spent a long time in central park walking around and playing on the swings in the playground. Then we did some shopping and sightseeing in Times Square. She needed some kind of pants for dancing so we went to this store for dancers. It was on the 2nd floor of a building in times square so it was cool just to look out the window and people watch. Then she got tickets to see Chicago next week which she was pretty pumped about because Usher is going to be in it for awhile. We went into a couple stores shopping for some shoes for myself but I didn't like any I tried on. She was pretty beat so we came back and had tacos again and she fell asleep and didn't wake up till midnight. I may have been smiled at by Charlize Theron twice while we were out. Probably just a look a like.
I went up on the roof and was able to get on somebody's wifi connection. Went downstairs and hung out with the Australian chicks a bit. Not the roommates the other ones. They like my accent and the feeling is mutual. Then I spent a few hours just walking around exploring the upper west side. Lots of sights and sounds and smells, restaurants that look and smell amazing. Lots of them have seating outside on the sidewalk, so just walking by you hear a lot of different conversations. I ended up stopping into a place for an enormous slice of pizza.
Came back to the hostel and just sat on the stoop and eventually quite a few people were hanging out there. Spent most of the time hanging with three guys and one girl from Italy, one guy from Israel and one guy from Liverpool. I realized while sitting there Im the only American Ive been hanging out with from the hostel. Two girls left while we were sitting there with American accents but they are the only other ones Ive seen. In addition to the countries Ive mentioned so far Ive also met people from Germany, Ireland, Czech Republic, Japan and Korea. Good times sitting on the stoop and learning about home lands and trying to get past some language barriers. Samuelle from Italy said I'm instead of you're once accidentally and the rest started laughing and said he always forgets this. Evidently, yesterday he went up to an attractive woman and said, I'm a beautiful lady. They had eaten sushi tonight and didn't like it. I explained I hadn't either at first but it grows on you. The guys had no idea what I was talking about and I was not able to explain this until Camilla helped me out and said like beer and then the guys all said ah, si ah si.
The super came by and thought I was Oscar De La Hoya from a distance. He showed me his hands were cut up from fighting two guys a few minutes before. One of the firemen suggested we take the Italians down to Little Italy tomorrow night for special treatment in clubs. The bartender/fashion guy from last night walked by again and said whatsup. I had meant to go by a Victorias Secret and see if that catalog is out yet.
