Life in New York

So I've been here for about a week so far and life in New York has been interesting. Aside from the strange coordinating sleeping arrangements around my brother and Tiger's schedule, its been pretty quiet. The kids that live above my brother's apartment are ridiculously loud all the time and I wish that I could smack them, but I realize that this may be against the law. On a lighter note, Kimmy came to visit this past weekend and we had a blast wandering around, hanging out, and going to the US Open for Tennis. We ended up seeing the Roddick v. Isner match on the big screen outside the stadiums (we were waiting for the stadium to open up for the night sessions), the Safina v. Kvitova match and like 5 seconds or less of the Blake v. Roberto match. While I love tennis, live tennis is much MUCH better than on t.v.

Anywho, I tried doing laundry today and ended up going to a laundromat down the street from my brother's place in Chinatown. Its clean and there were a lot of little old ladies just wandering around doing laundry. I guess I can deal with that. The only problem is that laundry costs 2 dollars a load so you need at least 6 dollars in coins to complete every set. (2 washers and 1 dryer). Aside from that there are some old school arcade games that I thought I could resist, but ended up falling prey to so I dropped a couple more dollars whilst doing laundry. Silly me. No income means that I should be saving my moolah.
