so, so...

i leave for new york saturday morning. i have 3 apartments visits saturday and one on sunday morning. i'm pulling for the place in white plains - $400/month with 4-5 hours of french tutoring to an already bilingual (spanish/english) 4-year-old. perfect. even if i have to use a laundromat.

lunch with carol reggia today kicked *ass* : fresh guacamole (aguacate, cebolla rojo, tomate, ajo, zumo de lima), chorizo, black beans and rice (lesson = soak beans overnight) with a salsa soundtrack. dessert, brought by carol, mango with fresh lime juice and dark chocolate.

"stardust" premieres friday. the meeting point bookstore has gone under an extreme makeover, involving gondolas, which i assumed only referred to boats on the canals of venice, new paint jobs, and tearing down lots and lots of boxes of new textbooks. my workout of the day. ha ha. it wouldn't be so sad if it weren't true...

road trip! hopefully richard will burn me some regina spektor cds (her older ones), yo yo ma bach cello suites, perhaps some brahms violin sonatas, and india.arie's confessional, bien sur...
